The mayor of a town has proposed a plan for the annexation of an adjoining bridge. A political study took a sample of 1500 voters in the town and found that 47% of the residents favored annexation. Using the data, a political strategist wants to test the claim that the percentage of residents who favor annexation is above 44%. Determine the P-value of the test statistic. Round your answer to four decimal places.

p-value of the statistics = 0.0096

Step-by-step explanation:

Given - The mayor of a town has proposed a plan for the annexation of an adjoining bridge. A political study took a sample of 1500 voters in the town and found that 47% of the residents favored annexation. Using the data, a political strategist wants to test the claim that the percentage of residents who favor annexation is above 44%.

To find - Determine the P-value of the test statistic.

Proof -

Given that,

H0 : p = 0.44

Ha : p > 0.44

Now,

Test Statistics is

z = (p bar - p)/ sqrt(p(1-p)/n)

  = (0.47 - 0.44) / sqrt(0.44(1-0.44)/1500)

  = 2.34

⇒z = 2.34

So,

p-value = P(Z > z)

             = P(Z > 2.34)

             = 0.0096

⇒p-value = 0.0096

x + y = 90 5x – 10y = 90 90 – 10y = 5x 90 + 10y = 5x

step-by-step explanation:

last month maria hiked the 5-mile mountain trail a number of times and she hiked the 10-mile canal trail several times. let x represent the number of times she hiked the 5-mile trail, and let y represent the number of times she hiked the 10-mile trail. if she hiked a total of 90 miles, which equation can be used to find the number of times maria hiked each trail? x + y = 90 5x – 10y = 90 90 – 10y = 5x 90 + 10y = 5x
