Suppose that in a random selection of 100 colored candies, 21% of them are blue. The candy company claims that the percentage of blue candies is equal to 29%. Use the 0.01 significance level to test that claim.

The pvalue of the test is 0.0784 > 0.01, which means that at this significance level, we do not reject the null hypothesis that the percentage of blue candies is equal to 29%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The candy company claims that the percentage of blue candies is equal to 29%.

This means that the null hypothesis is:

$H_{0}: p = 0.29$

We want to test the hypothesis that this is true, so the alternate hypothesis is:

$H_{a}: p \neq 0.29$

The test statistic is:

$z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}$

In which X is the sample mean, $\mu$ is the value tested at the null hypothesis, $\sigma$ is the standard deviation and n is the size of the sample.

0.29 is tested at the null hypothesis:

This means that $\mu = 0.29, \sigma = \sqrt{0.29*0.71}$

Suppose that in a random selection of 100 colored candies, 21% of them are blue.

This means that n = 100, X = 0.21

Value of the test statistic:

$z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}$

$z = \frac{0.21 - 0.29}{\frac{\sqrt{0.29*0.71}}{\sqrt{100}}}$

z = -1.76

Pvalue of the test:

The pvalue of the test is the probability of the sample proportion differing at least 0.21 - 0.29 = 0.08 from the population proportion, which is 2 multiplied by the pvalue of Z = -1.76.

Looking at the z-table, z = -1.76 has a pvalue of 0.0392

2*0.0392 = 0.0784

The pvalue of the test is 0.0784 > 0.01, which means that at this significance level, we do not reject the null hypothesis that the percentage of blue candies is equal to 29%.

pentagon

step-by-step explanation:

the coordinates a(5, -2), b(3,-1),c(-4,-4) d(-3,8) and e(-1,4) forms the vertices of the polygon when they are connected in order.

in order to classify that which polygon is it with the given coordinates, first count the number of vertices and then count the number of sides it can make with these vertices.

since, the given coordinates have five vertices, therefore, it will make five sides. moreover, pentagon is regular in nature therefore it will be convex.

now, a polygon with five sides is known as pentagon, therefore, the given polygon is the pentagon.
