In the United States, 36 percent of the people have a blood type that is A positive. From a random sample of 150 people from Nor

way, 66 had a blood type that was A positive. Consider a hypothesis test to investigate whether the proportion of people in Norway with a blood type of A positive is different from that in the United States.
Determine the standard deviation used to calculate the test statistic for the one-sample z-test.

Answer:

The standard deviation used in the test statistic is 0.04.

Step-by-step explanation:

A single proportion <em>z</em>-test can be used to determine whether the proportion of people in Norway with a blood type of A positive is different from that in the United States.

The proportion of people in Norway with a blood type of A positive is 36% or 0.36.

The hypothesis can be defined as:

<em>H₀</em>: The proportion of people in Norway with a blood type of A positive is 36%, i.e. <em>p</em> = 0.36.

<em>Hₐ</em>: The proportion of people in Norway with a blood type of A positive is different from 36%, i.e. <em>p</em> ≠ 0.36.

The test statistic is:

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

The information provided is:

<em>p</em> = 0.36

<em>n</em>  = 150

Compute the standard deviation used in the test statistic as follows:

\sigma=\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}

   =\sqrt{\frac{0.36\times (1-0.36)}{150}}

   =\sqrt{0.001536}\\=0.03919184\\\approx 0.04

Thus, the standard deviation used in the test statistic is 0.04.

A square has a perimeter of 12x + 52 units. Which expression represents the side length of the square in units?
Xelga [282]

Answer:

Option (3) is correct.

side length of square is (3x + 13 ) units.

Step-by-step explanation:

For a square with side 'a'. Perimeter is defined as the sum of length of side. Since, Square has four sides. Thus Perimeter of square = 4 × side

Given square has perimeter = 12x + 52

Comparing both sides,

4 × side = 12 x +  52

⇒ Side = \frac{12x+52}{4}

⇒ Side = \frac{4(3x+13)}{4}

⇒ Side = 3x + 13

Thus, side length of square is (3x + 13 ) units.

Thus, option (3) is correct.

marusya05 [52]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence interval is written in the form, sample mean ± margin of error

The sample mean is an estimator for the population mean. The confidence level is used to express how confident we are that the population mean is within the calculated confidence interval. The lower limit of the given confidence interval is 2.619 hours/day while the upper limit of the confidence interval is 3.401 hours/day

Therefore, the INVALID interpretations of the 95% confidence interval are

A. About 95% of all Cal Poly students spend between 2.619 and 3.401 hours/day watching TV.

B. There is a 95% chance that, on average, Cal Poly students spend between 2.619 and 3.401 hours/day watching TV.

D. In the long run, 95% of the sample means will be between 2.619 and 3.401 hours.

E. None of the above.

Assume that the die is weighted so that the probability of a 1 is 0.1, the probability of a 2 is 0.2, the probability of a 3 is
umka2103 [35]

Answer:

The probabilities of each outcome are the following:

for X = 1 is 0.6

for X = 2 is 0.35

for X = 3 is 0.049

and for X = 4 is 0.001

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's consider X as the random variable for the sum of outcomes "S" exceeds 3, this is: S\geq 4

Let's now analyze and consider the ways that X equals the different values:

X = 1: I throw the dice and the result is: 4, 5 and 6.

Then: P(X=1) = P(4) + P(5) + P(6) = 0.2+0.1+0.3 = 0.6

Thus P(X=1) = 0.6

X = 2: The result after following the dice two times can be:

1 and 3, 1 an 4.... and so on until 1 and 6

2 and 2, 2 and 3... and so on until 2 and 6

3 and 1... and so on until 3 a 6

Then P(X=2) = P(1)xP(3,4,5,6) + P(2)xP(2....6) + P(3)x(1.....6)

Theory of Probability: Sum of all possible outcomes P(1)+P(2).......P(6) = 1

Then P(1......6) = 1

Then P(X=2) = P(1)x[1-P(1)-P(2)]+P(2)x[1-P(1)]+P(3) = 0.1x(1-0.1-0.2) + 0.2x(1-0.1) + 0.1 = 0.1 x 0.7 + 0.2 x 0.9 + 0.1 = 0.35

Thus P(X=2) = 0.35

X = 3: The result can be

1 and 1 and 2, 1 and 1 and 3.... until 1 and 1 and 6

1 and 2 and 1, 1 and 2 and 2..... until 1 and 2 and 6

2 and 1 and 1, 2 and 1 and 2.... until 2 and 1 and 6

Then P(X=3) = P(1)xP(1)xP(2....6) + P(1)xP(2)xP(1.....6) + P(1)xP(2)xP(1.....6)

P(X=3) = 0.1 x 0.1 x (1-0.1) + 0.1 x 0.2 x 1 + 0.2 x 0.1 x 1 = 0.01 x 0.9 + 0.2 + 0.2 = 0.049

Thus P(X=3) = 0.049

Finally, for X to be 4, I only have the following possibilities

1 and 1 and 1 and 1.... until 1 and 1 and 1 and 6

Then P(X=4) = P(1)xP(1)xP(1)xP(1.....6) = 0.1x0.1x0.1x1 = 0.001

Thus P(X=3) = 0.001

Kiley gathered the data in the table. She found the approximate line of best fit to be y = 1.6x – 4. A 2-column table with 5 row
Dimas [21]

Answer:

The residual value is -1.8 when x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following table

x     |    y

0    |   -3

2    |    -1

3    |    -1

5    |    5

6    |    6    

Residual value:

A residual value basically shows the position of a data point with respect to the line of best fit.

The residual value is calculated as,

Residual value = Observed value - Predicted value

Where observed values are already given in the question and the predicted values are calculated by using the equation of  line of best fit.

y = 1.6x - 4

When we substitute x = 3 in the above equation then we would get the predicted value.

y = 1.6x - 4 \\\\y = 1.6(3) - 4 \\\\y = 4.8 - 4 \\\\y = 0.8

So the predicted value is 0.8

From the given table, the observed value corresponding to x = 3 is -1

So the residual value is,

Residual value = Observed value - Predicted value

Residual value = -1 - 0.8

Residual value = -1.8

Therefore, the residual value is -1.8 when x = 3

Note: A residual value closer to 0 is desired which means that the regression line best fits the data.
