Answer:

z=\frac{0.467 -0.9}{\sqrt{\frac{0.9(1-0.9)}{15}}}=-5.59  

p_v =P(z  

So the p value obtained was a very low value and using the significance level given \alpha=0.05 we have p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the proportion of germinated seeds is significantly lower than 0.9 or 90%

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation

n=15 represent the random sample taken

X=7 represent the number of seeds germinated

\hat p=\frac{7}{15}=0.467 estimated proportion of seeds germinated

p_o=0.9 is the value that we want to test

\alpha represent the significance level

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 of germinated seeds is less than 0.9 or 90%.:  

Null hypothesis:p\geq 0.9  

Alternative hypothesis:p < 0.9  

When we conduct a proportion test we need to use the z statisitc, 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{0.467 -0.9}{\sqrt{\frac{0.9(1-0.9)}{15}}}=-5.59  

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 low value and using the significance level given \alpha=0.05 we have p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the proportion of germinated seeds is significantly lower than 0.9 or 90%

16) Please help with question. WILL MARK BRAINLIEST + 10 POINTS.
Katyanochek1 [597]
We will use the sine and cosine of the sum of two angles, the sine and consine of \frac{\pi}{2}, and the relation of the tangent with the sine and cosine:

\sin (\alpha+\beta)=\sin \alpha\cdot\cos\beta + \cos\alpha\cdot\sin\beta&#10;&#10;\cos(\alpha+\beta)=\cos\alpha\cdot\cos\beta-\sin\alpha\cdot\sin\beta

\sin\dfrac{\pi}{2}=1,\ \cos\dfrac{\pi}{2}=0

\tan\alpha = \dfrac{\sin\alpha}{\cos\alpha}

If you use those identities, for \alpha=x,\ \beta=\dfrac{\pi}{2}, you get:

\sin\left(x+\dfrac{\pi}{2}\right) = \sin x\cdot\cos\dfrac{\pi}{2} + \cos x\cdot\sin\dfrac{\pi}{2} = \sin x\cdot0 + \cos x \cdot 1 = \cos x

\cos\left(x+\dfrac{\pi}{2}\right) = \cos x \cdot \cos\dfrac{\pi}{2} - \sin x\cdot\sin\dfrac{\pi}{2} = \cos x \cdot 0 - \sin x \cdot 1 = -\sin x

Hence:

\tan \left(x+\dfrac{\pi}{2}\right) = \dfrac{\sin\left(x+\dfrac{\pi}{2}\right)}{\cos\left(x+\dfrac{\pi}{2}\right)} = \dfrac{\cos x}{-\sin x} = -\cot x
