) The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration collects data on seat-belt use and publishes results in the document Occupa

nt Restraint Use. Of 1,000 drivers 16-24 years old, 79% said they buckle up, whereas 924 of 1,100 drivers 25-69 years old said they did. Does the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that there is a difference in seat belt use? Go over all the steps in the process for comparing two sample percentages.

Answer:

We conclude that there is a difference in seat belt use.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that of 1,000 drivers 16-24 years old, 79% said they buckle up, whereas 924 of 1,100 drivers 25-69 years old said they did.

<u><em>Let </em></u>p_1<u><em> = population proportion of drivers 16-24 years old who buckle up .</em></u>

<u><em /></u>p_2<u><em> = population proportion of drivers 25-69 years old who buckle up .</em></u>

So, Null Hypothesis, H_0 : p_1-p_2 = 0      {means that there is no significant difference in seat belt use}

Alternate Hypothesis, H_A : p_1-p_2\neq 0      {means that there is a difference in seat belt use}

The test statistics that would be used here <u>Two-sample z proportion statistics;</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 drivers 16-24 years old who buckle up = 79%

\hat p_2 = sample proportion of drivers 25-69 years old who buckle up = \frac{924}{1100} = 84%

n_1 = sample of 16-24 years old drivers = 1000

n_2 = sample of 25-69 years old drivers = 1100

So, <u><em>test statistics</em></u>  =  \frac{(0.79-0.84)-(0)}{\sqrt{\frac{0.79(1-0.79)}{1000}+\frac{0.84(1-0.84)}{1100} } }  

                              =  -2.946

The value of z test statistics is -2.946.

Since, in the question we are not given with the level of significance so we assume it to be 5%. <u><em>Now, at 0.05 significance level the z table gives critical values of -1.96 and 1.96 for two-tailed test.</em></u><em> </em>

<em>Since our test statistics 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 </em><em><u>we reject our null hypothesis</u></em><em>.</em>

Therefore, we conclude that there is a difference in seat belt use.

beks73 [17]

An integer is a rational number; 1/2 is a rational ratio with a denominator of 1; 0.4545 is a rational decimal; 0.44 is a irrational decimal and 0 is a rational whole numbers.

<h3>What is the difference between a rational and a irrational number?</h3>

The category irrational number can be applied to numbers that cannot be expresses as ratios or fractions. This includes decimals that do not terminate and are not repeating such as 0.44454...

<h3>On the other hand, rational numbers will include different types of numbers such as:</h3>

Integers: This refers to numbers that are not expressed as fractions.

Rational decimals: This includes repeating decimals such as 0.4545...

Rational ratios: This includes numbers such as 1/2 or 1/4.

Rational whole numbers such as 0,1,2, etc.

Evaluate u +xy, for u = 12,x = 7, and y = 4
jeka57 [31]

Answer:

40

Step-by-step explanation:

Plug in 12 for u, 7 for x, and 4 for y in the given expression:

u + xy = 12 + (7)(4)

Remember to follow PEMDAS. First, multiply, and then add:

u + xy = 12 + (7 * 4) = 12 + (28) = 40

40 is your answer.
