2. The National Safety Council routinely analyzes the benefit of seat belt use on driver safety. Their data showed that among 28

23 drivers not wearing seat belts, 31 died as a result of injuries, and among 7765 drivers wearing seat belts 16 were killed. Test the hypothesis (at 95% confidence) that there is no difference in the proportion of deaths between the 2 groups. What do you conclude? Calculate the margin of error (E) at 95%.

Answer:

We conclude that there is difference in the proportion of deaths between the 2 groups.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that among 2823 drivers not wearing seat belts, 31 died as a result of injuries, and among 7765 drivers wearing seat belts 16 were killed.

Let p_1 = <u><em>proportion of deaths when drivers were not wearing seat belts.</em></u>

p_2 = <u><em>proportion of deaths when drivers were wearing seat belts.</em></u>

So, Null Hypothesis, H_0 : p_1=p_2      {means that there is no difference in the proportion of deaths between the 2 groups}

Alternate Hypothesis, H_A : p_1\neq p_2     {means that there is difference in the proportion of deaths between the 2 groups}

The test statistics that would be used here <u>Two-sample z test for proportions;</u>

                          T.S. =  \frac{(\hat p_1-\hat p_2)-(p_1-p_2)}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p_1(1-\hat p_1)}{n_1}+\frac{\hat p_2(1-\hat p_2)}{n_2} } }  ~ N(0,1)

where, \hat p_1 = sample proportion of deaths when drivers were not wearing seat belts = \frac{31}{2823} = 0.011

\hat p_2 = sample proportion of deaths when drivers were wearing seat belts = \frac{16}{7765} = 0.002

n_1 = sample of drivers not wearing seat belts = 2823

n_2 = sample of drivers wearing seat belts = 7765

So, <u><em>the test statistics</em></u>  =  \frac{(0.011-0.002)-(0)}{\sqrt{\frac{0.011(1-0.011)}{2823}+\frac{0.002(1-0.002)}{7765} } }

                                       =  4.438

The value of z test statistics is 4.438.

<u>Now, at 5% significance level the z table gives critical values of -1.96 and 1.96 for two-tailed test.</u>

Since our test statistic doesn't lie within the range of critical values of z, so we have sufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis as it will fall in the rejection region due to which <u>we reject our null hypothesis</u>.

Therefore, we conclude that there is difference in the proportion of deaths between the 2 groups.

Also, <u>Margin of error</u> (E) =  1.96 \times \sqrt{\frac{\hat p_1(1-\hat p_1)}{n_1}+\frac{\hat p_2(1-\hat p_2)}{n_2} }

                                        =  1.96 \times \sqrt{\frac{0.011(1-0.011)}{2823}+\frac{0.002(1-0.002)}{7765} }

                                        =  <u>0.00397</u>

What’s the missing factor?
Vesna [10]

The missing factor is 1 5/8

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Let us consider the missing factor has 'x'

The given expression is 4 1/2 - x = 2 7/8

<u>To find x :</u>

The first step is to bring all the constant terms on on side and x on the other side,

⇒ 4 1/2 - 2 7/8 = x

Now, the numbers are in improper fraction (mixed fraction). So you have to convert them into proper fraction.

To convert the improper fraction 4 1/2 into proper fraction,

Multiply the denominator 2 with 4 and the result 8 is added with the numerator 1.

⇒ 4 1/2 = 9/2.

To convert the improper fraction 2 7/8 into proper fraction,

Multiply the denominator 8 with 2 and the result 16 is added with the numerator 7.

⇒ 2 7/8 = 23/8.

Now replace them in the given expression. The expression becomes as :

⇒ (9/2) - (23/8) = x

Cross multiply 2 and 8,

⇒ (72 - 46) / 16 = x

⇒ 26 / 16 = x

⇒ 13/8 = x

The x value is 13/8. You have to convert it into mixed fraction (since the question is given in the form of mixed fraction).

<u>To convert into mixed fraction,</u>

Divide 13 by 8 and write them in the form of Quotient (Reminder / Divisor).

⇒ 13 ÷ 8

⇒ 1 (quotient)

⇒ 5 (remainder)

The divisor is 8.

Therefore, x = 13/8 can be written as 1 5/8.

The missing factor is 1 5/8.
