Suppose a poll is taken that shows that 765 out of 1500 randomly selected, independent people believe the rich should pay more taxes than they do. Test the hypothesis that a majority (more than 50%) believe the rich should pay more taxes than they do. Use a significance level of 0.05.

Answer from: emmavaran03

$z=\frac{0.51 -0.5}{\sqrt{\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{1500}}}=0.775$

p_v =P(z0.775)=0.219

So the p value obtained was a very high value and using the significance level given $\alpha=0.05$ we have $p_v\alpha$ 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 interest is not significantly higher than 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation

n=1500 represent the random sample taken

X=765 represent the successes

$\hat p=\frac{765}{1500}=0.51$ estimated proportion of successes

p_o=0.5 is the value that we want to test

$\alpha=0.05$ represent the significance level

Confidence=95% or 0.95

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 is higher than 0.5:

Null hypothesis: $p \leq 0.5$

Alternative hypothesis: p 0.5

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:

$z=\frac{0.51 -0.5}{\sqrt{\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{1500}}}=0.775$

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 significance level provided $\alpha=0.05$ . The next step would be calculate the p value for this test.

Since is a right tailed test the p value would be:

p_v =P(z0.775)=0.219

Isuck at math ; ^; m a student solved this problem and said the answer is 3 feet. chase had a roll of ribbon that contained 7 7/8 feet of ribbon. he cut off one piece that was 3 5/8 feet long and another piece that was 1 1/4 feet from the roll. how much ribbon was left on the roll? is the student's answer reasonable? yes, the answer is reasonable. no, the answer is not reasonable. it should be about 2 feet. no, the answer is not reasonable. it should be about 13 feet. no, the answer is not reasonable. it should be about 4 feet.

Carla was trying to decide what to do saturday evening. she has $100 available to spend for the evening. she has narrowed her choices down to these events: braves game, a concert of an artist she likes, or the georgia aquarium. admission to the braves game is $25, hot dogs cost $10, sodas cost $5. the concert costs $25 for admission, $20 for a souvernir t-shirt, and $10 for a soda. the georgia aquarium has the show of a lifetime with an all you can eat and drink that costs $100. carla does not want to take any driving chances, so in addition to the cost of the aquarium, she will also need to pay for her uber/lyft, which is $15 each way. which option should carla choose if she wants to spend the least? based on that choice, what then is carla's oppotunity cost? fully explain your answer in at least one paragraph.
