In a survey of 554 U. S. adults, it is found that 360 favor a ban on stem cell research. Set up the null and the alternative hypotheses to test whether there is sufficient evidence that over 61% favor a ban on stem cell research. If alpha is set to 3.0%, should the null hypothesis be rejected

The null hypothesis will be rejected

Step-by-step explanation:

The null hypothesis is that people who favour ban on stem cell research is less than or equal to 0.61

The alternate hypothesis is that people who favour ban on stem cell research is greater than 0.61

Proportion of population = 0.61

Total events = 360

Sample size = 554

Sample proportion = 360/554 = 0.649

As per test statistics –  

Z = (p-p0)/sqrt {(p0 (1-p0))/n} = (0.649 -0.61)/ {(0.61 (1-0.61))/554}

= 0.039/0.021

= 1.857

P (Z<1.857) = 1- P (Z<1.857) = 1-0.9664 = 0.0336

So alpha value is 0.064.  

Thus, we will reject the null hypothesis  

y = 2x

step-by-step explanation:

if you divide each number in the sequence, you'll see that they all have a multiple factor of 2. each number in the series, and any other numbers which may continue, will be multiplied by 2. therefore, y is the next number in the sequence, and x is the current one, so, our formula will be y = 2x.
