400 students were randomly sampled from a large university, and 289 said they did not get enough sleep. Conduct a hypothesis test to check whether this represents a statistically significant difference from 50%, and use a significance level of 0.01.

The sample proportion represents a statistically significant difference from 50%

Step-by-step explanation:

Null hypothesis: The sample proportion is the same as 50%

Alternate hypothesis: The sample proportion is not the same as 50%

z = (p' - p) ÷ sqrt[p(1 - p) ÷ n]

p' is sample proportion = 289/400 = 0.7225

p is population proportion = 50% = 0.5

n is number of students sampled = 400

z = (0.7225 - 0.5) ÷ sqrt[0.5(1 - 0.5) ÷ 400] = 0.2225 ÷ 0.025 = 8.9

The test is a two-tailed test. Using a 0.01 significance level, critical value is 2.576. The region of no rejection of the null hypothesis is -2.576 and 2.576.

Conclusion:

Reject the null hypothesis because the test statistic 8.9 falls outside the region bounded by the critical values -2.576 and 2.576.

There is sufficient evidence to conclude that the sample proportion represents a statistically significant difference from 50%.

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.
