An organization published an article stating that in any one-year period, approximately 9.8 percent of adults in a country suffe

r from depression or a depressive illness. Suppose that in a survey of 100 people in a certain town, eight of them suffered from depression or a depressive illness. Conduct a hypothesis test to determine if the true proportion of people in that town suffering from depression or a depressive illness is lower than the percent in the general adult population in the country.

Answer:

z=\frac{0.08 -0.098}{\sqrt{\frac{0.098(1-0.098)}{100}}}=-0.605  

p_v =P(z  

So the p value obtained was a very high value and using the significance level given \alpha=0.05 we have p_v>\alpha so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the proportion of people with depression or a depressive illness is not significantly lower than 0.098 (9.8%)

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation

n=100 represent the random sample taken

X=8 represent the people with depression or a depressive illness

\hat p=\frac{8}{100}=0.08 estimated proportion of people with depression or a depressive illness

p_o=0.098 is the value that we want to test

\alpha=0.05 represent the significance level  assumed

Confidence=95% or 0.95  assumed

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

p_v represent the p value (variable of interest)  

Concepts and formulas to use  

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to test the claim that the true proportion sof people with depression or a depressive illness is lower than the general adult population value of 9.8% or 0.098.:  

Null hypothesis:p \geq 0.098  

Alternative hypothesis:p < 0.098  

When we conduct a proportion test we need to use the z statistic, and the is given by:  

z=\frac{\hat p -p_o}{\sqrt{\frac{p_o (1-p_o)}{n}}} (1)  

The One-Sample Proportion Test is used to assess whether a population proportion \hat p is significantly different from a hypothesized value p_o.

Calculate the statistic  

Since we have all the info requires we can replace in formula (1) like this:  

z=\frac{0.08 -0.098}{\sqrt{\frac{0.098(1-0.098)}{100}}}=-0.605  

Statistical decision  

It's important to refresh the p value method or p value approach . "This method is about determining "likely" or "unlikely" by determining the probability assuming the null hypothesis were true of observing a more extreme test statistic in the direction of the alternative hypothesis than the one observed". Or in other words is just a method to have an statistical decision to fail to reject or reject the null hypothesis.  

The significance level assumed is \alpha=0.05. The next step would be calculate the p value for this test.  

Since is a left tailed test the p value would be:  

p_v =P(z  

So the p value obtained was a very high value and using the significance level given \alpha=0.05 we have p_v>\alpha so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the proportion of people with depression or a depressive illness is not significantly lower than 0.098 (9.8%)

4 3/4 X 4 1/7 what is it please help
Y_Kistochka [10]

first you turn the fractions into inproper fractions by multiplying the whole number by the denomonator and adding the numerator

4×4=16

16+3=19

19/4

4×7=28

28+1=29

29/7

keep the denomonators the same. now that you've converted them into inproper fractions you can multiply them

19/4 × 29/7=551/28

there is no way to simplify this answer so this is the final answer

Estimate the difference of the decimals below by rounding to the nearest whole number. 23.827
iragen [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

The key rule is: to round up the number one digit to the left has to be the number 5 or more, else it rounds down.

23.827 rounds up because the 8 is more than 5.

1.218 rounds down because 2 is less than 5.

24-1= 23
