(a) Collision claims tend to be skewed right because there are a few very large collision claims relative to the majority of claims.

These large collision claims skew the data to the right because they are outliers that draw the mean higher than it should be.

The answer cannot be "no large collision claims" or "many large collision claims" because then the data would not be skewed.

(b) Since there are two random samples comparing two means, we will be using a 2-Samp-T-Test. We will use Welch's approximate t-test, where we test the hypothesis that these two populations have the same mean.

We want to determine if 20-24 year old drivers have the same mean collision cost as 30-59 year old drivers.

(c) The null hypothesis is that <u>the mean claim of collision costs for 20-24 year old drivers is the same as the mean claim of collision costs for 30-59 year old drivers.</u>

We can also rewrite this as:

  • H₀: μ₁ = μ₂
  • where μ₁ is the mean collision claims for 20-24 year old drivers
  • and μ₂ is the mean collision claims for 30-59 year old drivers

The alternative hypothesis is that the <u>mean claim of collision costs for 20-24 year old drivers is higher than the mean claim of collision costs for 30-59 year old drivers</u>.

We can rewrite this as:

  • H₁: μ₁ > μ₂
  • Our variables have already been defined

(d) In order to calculate the p-value, we must find the test statistic first.

We can do so by using this formula:

  • \displaystyle t=\frac{x_1-x_2}{\sqrt{\frac{s_1^2}{n_1}+\frac{s_2^2}{n_2}  }}

We are given these variables in the problem:

  • x_1=4590
  • s_1=2302
  • x_2=3670
  • s_2=2029
  • n_1=40
  • n_2=40

Substitute these variables into the formula for the test statistic.

  • \displaystyle t=\frac{4590-3670}{\sqrt{\frac{2302^2}{40} +\frac{2029^2}{40} } }

You can use the calculator to solve this expression, or plug the numbers into your calculator using: STAT - TESTS - 4:2-SAMPTTEST.

Your test statistic should be: t = 1.8962.

The calculator should also tell you the p-value; p = .0308.

(e) Since p = .0308 < α = .1, <u>reject</u> the null. We have convincing statistical evidence that the mean claim of collision costs for 20-24 year old drivers is higher than the mean claim of collision costs for 30-59 year old drivers.

Jada surveyed some students to see which tool they most favored for communicating with grit. The results of her survey are shown
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

120 students did Jada survey

Step-by-step explanation:

*<em> Lets explain how to solve the problem</em>

- The results of Jada survey are shown in this circle graph

# Communication tools Text messages 5/12

# Phone 1/5

# Emails 1/20

# Other messaging apps 1/3

- A total of 50 students said they favored text messages to

 communicate with friends

- We need to find the total number of the students in Jada survey

- <em>Assume that the total number of the students in the survey is </em><em>x</em>

∵ The Communication tools Text messages expressed by a

  fraction 5/12 of the circle graph

∵ The total of 50 students said they favored text messages to

   communicate with friends

- That means The fraction \frac{5}{12} of x equivalent to 50

∴ \frac{5}{12}*x=50

- Multiply both sides by 12

∴ 5x = 600

- Divide both sides by 5

∴ x = 120

∵ x represents the number of the students in Jada survey

∴ 120 students did Jada survey

5. ALGEBRA Reka Maharis drove her vehicle to and from
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

the number of miles is 14,722

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the number of miles drive last year is shown below:

= Total cost ÷ cost per mile

= $1,560 + $3,740 ÷ $0.36 per mile

= $5,300 ÷ $0.36 per mile

= 14,722 miles

Hence, the number of miles is 14,722

Solve 5x - 8y = 11 for y.
disa [49]

Answer:

y = \frac{5x-11}{8}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

5x - 8y = 11 ( subtract 5x from both sides )

- 8y = 11 - 5x ( multiply through by - 1 )

8y = - 11 + 5x = 5x - 11 ( divide both sides by 8 )

y = \frac{5x-11}{8}
