recall your d = rt, distance = rate * time.


let's say we have two trains, A and B, A is going at 85 mph and B at 65 mph.


they are 210 miles apart and moving toward each other, at some point they will meet, when that happens, the faster train A has covered say d miles, and the slower B has covered then the slack from 210 and d, namely 210 - d.


When both trains meet, A has covered more miles than B because A is faster, however the time both have been moving, is the same, say t hours.


\bf \begin{array}{lcccl} &\stackrel{miles}{distance}&\stackrel{mph}{rate}&\stackrel{hours}{time}\\ \cline{2-4}&\\ \textit{Train A}&d&85&t\\ \textit{Train B}&210-d&65&t \end{array}\\\\ \dotfill\\\\ \begin{cases} \boxed{d}=85t\\ 210-d=65t\\[-0.5em] \hrulefill\\ 210-\boxed{85t}=65t \end{cases} \\\\\\ 210=150t\implies \cfrac{210}{150}=t\implies \cfrac{7}{5}=t\implies \stackrel{\textit{one hour and 24 minutes}}{1\frac{2}{5}=t}

Notice that using distributive property we can write:

42 * 15 = 42 (10 + 5) = 42 * 10 + 42 * 5

which agrees with the third option (C) shown on the list of possible answers.

identify the type i error and the type ii error that corresponds to the given hypothesis. the proportion of people who write wit
djverab [1.8K]

Type I error is:

" Reject the claim that the proportion of people who write with their left hand is 0.29 when the proportion is actually 0.29 "

Type II error is:

"Fail to reject the claim that the proportion of people who write with their left hand is 0.29 when the proportion is actually different from 0.29 "

<u>What is proportion?</u>

An equation in which two ratios are made equal is called a proportion. For instance, you could write the ratio as 1: 3 (for every one boy, there are three girls), which means that 14 of the population is made up of boys and 34 of the population is made up of girls.

In Statistics, a  type I error is the rejection of a true null hypothesis

and  a type II error is the non-rejection of a false null hypothesis

Given that p = 0.29 is accepted

Now type I error is

C. Reject the claim that the proportion of people who write with their left hand is 0.29 when the proportion is actually 0.29

i.e. (false positive)

and type II error here is

B. Fail to reject the claim that the proportion of people who write with their left hand is 0.29 when the proportion is actually different from 0.29.
