Complete question is;

In a random sample of 370 cars driven at low altitudes, 43 of them exceeded a standard of 10 grams of particulate pollution per gallon of fuel consumed. In an independent random sample of 80 cars driven at high altitudes, 23 of them exceeded the standard. Can you conclude that the proportion of high-altitude vehicles exceeding the standard is greater than the proportion of low-altitude vehicles exceeding the standard at an level of significance? Group of answer choices

Answer:

Yes we can conclude that there is enough evidence to support the claim that the proportion of high-altitude vehicles exceeding the standard is greater than the proportion of low-altitude vehicles exceeding the standard (P-value = 0.00005).

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a hypothesis test for the difference between the proportions.

The claim is that the proportion of high-altitude vehicles exceeding the standard is greater than the proportion of low-altitude vehicles exceeding the standard.

Then, the null and alternative hypothesis are:

H0 ; π1 - π2 = 0

H1 ; π1 - π2 < 0

The significance level would be established in 0.01.

The random sample 1 (low altitudes), of size n1 = 370 has a proportion of;

p1 = x1/n1

p1 = 43/370

p1 = 0.116

The random sample 2 (high altitudes), of size n2 = 80 has a proportion of;

p2 = x2/n2

p2 = 23/80

p2 = 0.288

The difference between proportions is pd = (p1-p2);

pd = p1 - p2 = 0.116 - 0.288

pd = -0.171

The pooled proportion, we need to calculate the standard error, is:

p = (x1 + x2)/(n1 + n2)

p = (43 + 23)/(370 + 80)

p = 66/450

p = 0.147

The estimated standard error of the difference between means is computed using the formula:

S_(p1-p2) = √[((p(1 - p)/n1) + ((p(1 - p)/n2)]

1 - p = 1 - 0.147 = 0.853

Thus;

S_(p1-p2) = √[((0.147 × 0.853)/370) + ((0.147 × 0.853)/80)]

S_(p1-p2) = 0.044

Now, we can use the formula for z-statistics as;

z = (pd - (π1 - π2))/S_(p1-p2)

z = (-0.171 - 0)/0.044

z = -3.89

Using z-distribution table, we have the p-value = 0.00005

Since the P-value of (0.00005) is smaller than the significance level (0.01), then the effect is significant.

We conclude that The null hypothesis is rejected.

Thus, there is enough evidence to support the claim that the proportion of high-altitude vehicles exceeding the standard is greater than the proportion of low-altitude vehicles exceeding the standard.

A recent survey estimated that 19 percent of all people living in a certain region regularly use sunscreen when going outdoors.
serg [7]

The correct option is: (E) It is plausible that the percent of all people living in the region who regularly use sunscreen is 18.5%.

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

The margin of error is a statistic expressing the amount of random sampling error that occurred due to miscalculation and survey results. The margin error is usually a small amount of error.

Generally 5% of margin of error is common and acceptable. When the percentage of the margin of error increases, the confidence in the report result will be reduced.

The recent survey reveals that 19% of the people living in a certain region regularly use sunscreen when going outdoors. The permissible margin of error in this survey is 1%.

Probably the percentage of people using sunscreen in the particular region will be <u>18.5%. </u>

Selina is playing a game that uses the spinner below.
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

A) 12.5%

B) 50%

C) 50%

Step-by-step explanation:

For A, 7 is one of the 8 possibilities (1/8). 1/8 of 100 is 12.5, so your chance of spinning a 7 is 12.5%

For B, even numbers are 4/8 or 1/2 of your options. 1/2 of 100 is 50, so your chance of spinning an even number is 50%

For C, there are 4 out of 8 numbers that are prime (2,3,5, & 7).

4/8 or 1/2 of 100 is 50, so your chance of spinning a prime number is 50%

hope this helps
