A random sample of 160 car purchases are selected and categorized by age. The results are listed below. The age distribution of

drivers for the given categories is 18% for the under 26 group, 39% for the 26-45 group, 31% for the 45-65 group, and 12% for the group over 65. Calculate the chi-square test statistic to test the claim that all ages have purchase rates proportional to their driving rates. Use α = 0.05.

Answer:

The claim that all ages have purchase rates proportional to their driving rates is false.

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is:

A random sample of 160 car accidents are selected and categorized by the age of the driver determined to be at fault. The results are listed below. The age distribution of drivers for the given categories is 18% for the under 26 group, 39% for the 26-45 group, 31% for the 45-65 group, and 12% for the group over 65. Calculate the chi-square test statistic used to test the claim that all ages have crash rates proportional to their driving rates.

Age      >26     26-45       46-65      45<

Drivers 66    39            25          30

  A) 95.431

      B)101.324

      C)85.123

      D)75.101

Solution:

In this case we need to test whether there is sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that all ages have crash rates proportional to their driving rates.

A Chi-square test for goodness of fit will be used in this case.

The hypothesis can be defined as:

<em>H₀</em>: The observed frequencies are same as the expected frequencies.

<em>Hₐ</em>: The observed frequencies are not same as the expected frequencies.

The test statistic is given as follows:

\chi^{2}=\sum{\frac{(O-E)^{2}}{E}}

The values are computed in the table.

The test statistic value is 75.10.

The degrees of freedom of the test is:

n - 1 = 4 - 1 = 3

Compute the p-value of the test as follows:

p-value < 0.00001

*Use a Chi-square table.

p-value < 0.00001 < α = 0.05.

So, the null hypothesis will be rejected at any significance level.

Thus, there is sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that ages have crash rates proportional to their driving rates.

Laura sees a horse pulling a buggy. She wonders how it can accelerate if the action of the horse pulling the cart would causes a
KatRina [158]

Answer:

The net forces exerted on the horse and cart are not the same, so they are not balanced forces.

Step-by-step explanation:

Please see the Newton's 2nd Law which states  that an object accelerates if there is a net or unbalanced force on it. In this scenario there is just one force exerted on the wagon i.e: the force that the horse exerts on it. The wagon accelerates because the horse pulls on it. And the amount of acceleration equals the net force on the wagon divided by its mass.

As there are two forces the push and pull the horse; the wagon pulls the horse backwards, and the ground pushes the horse forward. The net force is determined by the relative sizes of these two forces.

If the ground pushes harder on the horse than the wagon pulls, there is a net force in the forward direction, and the horse accelerates forward, and if the wagon pulls harder on the horse than the ground pushes, there is a net force in the backward direction, and the horse accelerates backward.

If the force that the wagon exerts on the horse is the same size as the force that the ground exerts, the net force on the horse is zero, and the horse does not accelerate.
