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 28%. use a 0.05 significance level to test that claim.

The percentage of blue candies is equal to 28%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sample size = n = 1000

21% of them are blue

So, No. of blue candies =

Claim : The percentage of blue candies is equal to 28%.

We will use one sample proportion test  

Formula of test statistic =

                                       =

                                       =−1.55

Now refer the p value from the z table

p value =0.0606

α =0.05

So, p value >  α

So, we failed to reject null hypothesis

So, the percentage of blue candies is equal to 28%.

x = central angle apc = measure of minor arc ac

the two angles x and 30 add to 180, so x+30 = 180 and x = 180-30 = 150. the measure of minor arc ac is 150 degrees.

what we need to do from here is find the circumference and then multiply it by x/360 since there are 360 degrees in a circle. in this case, x = 150, so x/360 = 150/360 = 15/36 = 5/12. the shortest distance along the curve from a to c is 5/12 of the distance around the entire circle (aka circumference)

c = circumference

c = pi*d

c = pi*24

c = 24pi

now multiply this by 5/12 to get

distance along minor arc ac = (5/12)*(circumference)

distance along minor arc ac = (5/12)*(24pi)

distance along minor arc ac = 10pi

the formula you can use is

l = (x/360)*pi*d

with

l = length of minor arc

x = central angle

d = diameter

which essentially is the steps we took though a bit differently.
