Euro coin. statistics students at the akademia podlaka conducted an experiment to test the hypothesis that the one-euro coin is biased (i. e., not equally likely to land heads up or tails up). belgian-minted one-euro coins were spun on a smooth surface, and 140 out of 250 coins landed heads up. does this result support the claim that one-euro coins are biased

If we compare the p value obtained and the significance level assumed we see that so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the proportion of heads in the Euro coins is not significantly different from 0.5.  

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Data given and notation

n=250 represent the random sample taken

X=140 represent the number of heads obtained

estimated proportion of heads

is the value that we want to test

represent the significance level

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

represent the p value (variable of interest)  

2) Concepts and formulas to use  

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to test the claim that that one-Euro coins are biased, so the correct system of hypothesis are:  

Null hypothesis:  

Alternative hypothesis:  

When we conduct a proportion test we need to use the z statisitc, and the is given by:  

(1)  

The One-Sample Proportion Test is used to assess whether a population proportion is significantly different from a hypothesized value .

Check for the assumptions that he sample must satisfy in order to apply the test

a)The random sample needs to be representative: On this case the problem no mention about it but we can assume it.

b) The sample needs to be large enough

3) Calculate the statistic  

Since we have all the info requires we can replace in formula (1) like this:  

4) 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:  

If we compare the p value obtained and the significance level assumed we see that so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the proportion of heads in the Euro coins is not significantly different from 0.5.  

answer

the correct answer is

explanation

the given function is

the excluded values are obtained by solving:

we factor to obtain:

the excluded values are

10/60

step-by-step explanation:

if you divide 10 by 60 the answer is 0.166666 while if you divide or solve the other problems it equals 0.6
