400 students were randomly sampled from a large university, and 289 said they did not get enough sleep. Conduct a hypothesis tes

melomori [17]

Answer:

The sample proportion represents a statistically significant difference from 50%

Step-by-step explanation:

Null hypothesis: The sample proportion is the same as 50%

Alternate hypothesis: The sample proportion is not the same as 50%

z = (p' - p) ÷ sqrt[p(1 - p) ÷ n]

p' is sample proportion = 289/400 = 0.7225

p is population proportion = 50% = 0.5

n is number of students sampled = 400

z = (0.7225 - 0.5) ÷ sqrt[0.5(1 - 0.5) ÷ 400] = 0.2225 ÷ 0.025 = 8.9

The test is a two-tailed test. Using a 0.01 significance level, critical value is 2.576. The region of no rejection of the null hypothesis is -2.576 and 2.576.

Conclusion:

Reject the null hypothesis because the test statistic 8.9 falls outside the region bounded by the critical values -2.576 and 2.576.

There is sufficient evidence to conclude that the sample proportion represents a statistically significant difference from 50%.

When you select a random person, the probability that this person will go to Ches

insens350 [35]

Answer: a= 0.0231

Step-by-step explanation:

n=8

p=0.75

q=1 - 0.75 = 0.25

(p=x)

p(5) = 8C5 (0.25)^5 (0.75)^8-5

p(5)= 0.0231

Or 2.31%

Marcello is constructing the perpendicular bisector of AB¯¯¯¯¯. He has already constructed arcs as shown.

Ratling [72]

Answer: "Use the straightedge to draw a line through points X and Y." is the right answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

To perpendicular bisector of line segment AB. There are following steps:

1) Draw arcs from points A and B on the both sides of AB.

2) Name the intersection points as X and Y.

3) Use the straightedge to draw a line through points X and Y.

4) Name the point as O

hence we have construct perpendicular bisector XY of AB which bisects at O.

A random sample from a normal population is obtained, and the data are given below. Find a 90% confidence interval for . 114 157

melamori03 [73]

Answer:

$103.160 \leq \sigma \leq 187.476$

And the upper bound rounded to the nearest integer would be 187.

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population mean or variance lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

The Chi Square distribution is the distribution of the sum of squared standard normal deviates .

$\bar X$ represent the sample mean for the sample

$\mu$ population mean (variable of interest)

s represent the sample standard deviation

n represent the sample size

Solution to the problem

Data given: 114 157 203 257 284 299 305 344 378 410 421 450 478 480 512 533 545

The confidence interval for the population variance $\sigma^2$ is given by the following formula:

$\frac{(n-1)s^2}{\chi^2_{\alpha/2}} \leq \sigma \leq \frac{(n-1)s^2}{\chi^2_{1-\alpha/2}}$

On this case we need to find the sample standard deviation with the following formula:

$s=sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^{17} (x_i -\bar x)^2}{n-1}}$

And in order to find the sample mean we just need to use this formula:

$\bar x =\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n x_i}{n}$

The sample mean obtained on this case is $\bar x= 362.941$ and the deviation s=132.250

The next step would be calculate the critical values. First we need to calculate the degrees of freedom given by:

$df=n-1=17-1=16$

Since the Confidence is 0.90 or 90%, the value of $\alpha=0.1$ and $\alpha/2 =0.05$ , and we can use excel, a calculator or a tabel to find the critical values.

The excel commands would be: "=CHISQ.INV(0.05,16)" "=CHISQ.INV(0.95,16)". so for this case the critical values are:

$\chi^2_{\alpha/2}=26.296$

$\chi^2_{1- \alpha/2}=7.962$

And replacing into the formula for the interval we got:

$\frac{(16)(132.250)^2}{26.296} \leq \sigma \leq \frac{(16)(132.250)^2}{7.962}$

$10641.959 \leq \sigma^2 \leq 35147.074$

Now we just take square root on both sides of the interval and we got:

$103.160 \leq \sigma \leq 187.476$

And the upper bound rounded to the nearest integer would be 187.
