Jerry's Fish Shack claims that 16% of its employees are late to work once a week. The manager surveyed 25 employees and found th

larisa86 [58]

Answer:

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to test the claim that the true proportion of employess are late to work is 0.16, so we need to apply a one sample proportion test:

Null hypothesis: $p=0.16$

Alternative hypothesis: $p \neq 0.16$

$z=\frac{0.20 -0.16}{\sqrt{\frac{0.16(1-0.16)}{25}}}=0.546$

$p_v =2*P(z>0.546)=0.585$

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation

n=25 represent the random sample taken

$\hat p=0.2$ estimated proportion

$p_o=0.16$ 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 employess are late to work is 0.16, so we need to apply a one sample proportion test:

Null hypothesis: $p=0.16$

Alternative hypothesis: $p \neq 0.16$

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:

$z=\frac{0.20 -0.16}{\sqrt{\frac{0.16(1-0.16)}{25}}}=0.546$

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 next step would be calculate the p value for this test.

Since is a bilateral test the p value would be:

$p_v =2*P(z>0.546)=0.585$

Point b has coordinates (3,-4) and lies on the circle whose equation is x^2 + y^2= 25. If angle is drawn in a standard position

lakkis [162]

Point B has coordinates (3,-4) and lies on the circle. Draw the perpendiculars from point B to the x-axis and y-axis. Denote the points of intersection with x-axis A and with y-axis C. Consider the right triangle ABO (O is the origin), by tha conditions data: AB=4 and AO=3, then by Pythagorean theorem:

 $BO^2=AO^2+AB^2 \\ BO^2=3^2+4^2 \\ BO^2=9+16 \\ BO^2=25 \\ BO=5$ .

{Note, that BO is a radius of circle and it wasn't necessarily to use Pythagorean theorem to find BO}
The sine of the angle BOA is
$\sin \angle BOA= \dfrac{AB}{BO} = \dfrac{4}{5} =0.8$

Since point B is placed in the IV quadrant, the sine of the angle that is drawn in a standard position with its terminal ray will be 


 $\sin \theta=-0.8$ .

Which sentence can represent the inequality One-half x + three-fourths greater-than-or-equal-to 5 and one-fourth?

hodyreva [135]

Answer:

The sum of half of a number and three-fourths is at least five and one quarter

Step-by-step explanation:

It's all about making sense of an English sentence.

"half the sum ..." is different from "the sum of half ..."

And ...

"at least" and "not less than" mean the same (≥)

"not more than" and "at most" mean the same (≤)

_____

Since all of the expressions are written out in words, it is a matter of matching the ideas expressed. That's a problem in reading comprehension, not math.

__

"One-half x + three-fourths [is] greater-than-or-equal-to 5 and one-fourth"

means the same as ...

"The sum of half of a number and three-fourths is at least five and one quarter"

The pucks used by the National Hockey League for ice hockey must weigh between and ounces. Suppose the weights of pucks produced

Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

$P(5.5$

And we can find this probability using the normal standard distribution or excel and we got:

$P(-2.769$

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we assume the following complete question: "The pucks used by the National Hockey League for ice hockey must weigh between 5.5 and 6 ounces. Suppose the weights of pucks produced at a factory are normally distributed with a mean of 5.86 ounces and a standard deviation of 0.13ounces. What percentage of the pucks produced at this factory cannot be used by the National Hockey League? Round your answer to two decimal places. "

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable that represent the weights of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

$X \sim N(5.86,0.13)$
