Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the Type of Change

Determine whether boiling water involves a change in the chemical composition of the substance or just a change in its physical state.

Step 2: Analyze the Process

Boiling water involves heating water until it changes from a liquid to a gas (steam). This process does not alter the chemical structure of water, which remains \( \text{H}_2\text{O} \).

Step 3: Classify the Change

Since the chemical composition of water remains unchanged and only its state changes, boiling water is classified as a physical change.

Final Answer

\(\boxed{\text{Physical}}\)

A government official wanted to know if more than 90% of the residents in a region had an income that was less than 100 thousand dollars. The official randomly sampled 500 residents and found that 463 of them had an income that was less than 100 thousand dollars. The official conducts a one-proportion hypothesis test at the 5% significance level, to test whether the true proportion of residents in the region that have an income that is less than 100 thousand dollars is greater than 90%. (a) H0: p ≤ 0.9 ; Ha: p>0.9, which is a right-tailed test. (b) Use Excel to test whether the true proportion of residents in the region that have an income that is less than 100 thousand dollars is greater than 90%. Identify the test statistic, z, and p-value from the Excel output, rounding to three decimal places.
