Answer:

Measurement can be used in healthcare career also. Like - the doctors and nurses are well trained to give medicines accurately as per measurement of milligrams or nano-gram. High doses can prove fatal with some medicines, so the correct measurement is very necessary.

Similarly, measurement is used in syrups. Like a child can be given upto 5 mg of syrup twice daily.

Answer:

Depending of the exact career but measurements are plentiful in the healthcare business.

First, you'll most likely deal with weight and height... since that's part of most health care consultations.

Then, if you deal with medication, you'll use grams, milligrams, milliliters, liters all the time. depending if the medication is in solid or liquid form.

Even as a nutritionist, you'll deal with grams and such for portion sizes.

There are countless of ways you'll use maths and measurements in the healthcare sector.

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

An experiment was performed to compare the abrasive wear of two different laminated materials. Twelve pieces of material 1 were
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

The calculated value Z= 4.8389> 1.96 at 0.05 level of significance.

The null hypothesis is rejected.

There is  significance difference between that the abrasive wear of material 1 not exceeds that of material 2 by more than 2 units

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step:-(1)</u>

Given data the samples of material 1 gave an average (coded) wear of 85 units with a sample standard deviation of 4

Mean of the first sample x₁⁻ =85

standard deviation of the first sample S₁ = 4

Given data the samples of material 2 gave an average of 81 and a sample standard deviation of 5.

Mean of the first sample x₂⁻ =81

standard deviation of the first sample S₂ = 5

<u>Step :-2</u>

<u>Null hypothesis: H₀:</u> there is no significance difference between that the abrasive wear of material 1 exceeds that of material 2 by more than 2 units

<u>Alternative hypothesis :H₁: </u>there is  significance difference between that the abrasive wear of material 1 exceeds that of material 2 by more than 2 units

Assume the populations to be approximately normal with equal variances.σ₁² =σ₂²

The test statistic

                     Z= \frac{x_{1} -x_{2} }{\sqrt{\frac{S^2_{1} }{n_{1} } +\frac{S^2_{2} }{n_{2} }  } }

Given  n₁=n₂=60.

                    Z= \frac{85-81 }{\sqrt{\frac{(4)^2 }{60 } +\frac{5^2 }{60}  } }

On calculation, we get

                   Z =   \frac{4}{\sqrt{0.6833} }

                   z = 4.8389

The tabulated value Z =1.96 at 0.05 level of significance.

The calculated value Z= 4.8389> 1.96 at 0.05 level of significance.

The null hypothesis is rejected.

Conclusion:-

there is  significance difference between that the abrasive wear of material 1 not exceeds that of material 2 by more than 2 units.

A referendum failed by a vote of 36 No's and 24 Yes's. To make a pie chart of this result, what is the lesser measure in degrees
Daniel [21]
From the given number of people who voted Yes and No to the referendum, there are 60 people all in all. The fewer of which is 24 which voted as Yes. If we are to construct a pie chart and calculate the measure of the smaller angle, we take the ratio of 24 and 60 and multiply it to 360. 
      
                       measure of angle ACB = (24/60)(360)
                         measure of angle ACB = 144°

Thus, the angle measure 144°.
