By using a 0.05 significance level, we can conclude that there is sufficient evidence that most medical malpractice lawsuits are dropped or dismissed.

<h3>How to test the claim for the medical malpractice lawsuits?</h3>

Since we have to compare whether the sample proportion is greater than or lesser than the population proportion, a one-tailed test would be used. Also, we would calculate the sample proportion of medical malpractice lawsuits that are dropped or dismissed as follows:

Sample proportion, p = x/n

Sample proportion, p = 502/775

Sample proportion, p = 0.6477

Mathematically, the null and alternative hypothesis is given by:

H₀: p = 0.5

H₁: p > 0.5

For the test statistic can be calculated by using this mathematical expression:

z=\frac{\hat{p}\;-\;p_o}{\sqrt{\frac{p_o(1-p_o)}{n }}  }

Where:

  • \hat{p} represents the sample mean.
  • p_o represents the mean.
  • n represents the number of subjects.

Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;

z = (0.6477 - 0.5)/√(0.5(1 - 0.5)/775)

z = 0.1477/√(0.25/775)

z = 0.1477/0.01796

z = 8.224.

For the p-value, we have:

p(z>8.224) = 0.0000

Therefore, the p-value (0.000) is less than the significance level α = 0.05. Based on this, we would reject the null hypothesis.

Determine which characteristics are true of vertical angles
liq [111]

Answer:

1, 2 and 4 option - Yes

3 option - No

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Definition: </u>Vertical angles are the angles opposite each other when two lines cross.

By the definition options

  • they are formed by intersecting lines,
  • they are opposite to each other

are true.

Vertical Angles Theorem states that vertical angles are congruent. Thus, option

  • they are congruent

is true.

Option

  • they are always supplementary

is false, because supplementary are angles that add up to 180°, but vertical angles can have different measures which do not add up to 180°.
