In a random sample of cars driven at low altitudes, of them exceeded a standard of grams of particulate pollution per gallon of

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.

Haruka hiked several kilometers in the morning. She hiked only 6 kilometers in the afternoon, which was 25%, percent less than s
madam [21]

Haruka hiked 14 kilometers in all.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Distance hiked in afternoon = 6 kilometers

It was 25% less than Morning.

Let,

x be the distance hiked in morning;

x-25% of x = 6

x-\frac{25}{100}x=6\\x-0.25x=6\\0.75x=6

Dividing both sides by 0.75

\frac{0.75x}{0.75}=\frac{6}{0.75}\\x=8

She hiked 8 kilometers in morning.

Total distance hiked = Distance in morning + Distance in evening

Total distance hiked = 8+6 = 14 kilometers

Haruka hiked 14 kilometers in all.

Pepsi [2]

Answer:

$50 and

$30

Step-by-step explanation:

Question 1. Principal = $500

Rate = 5%

Time = 2yesrs

Interest = PRT /100

= 500 x 5 x 2 /100

= 5000/100

= $50

Interest = PRT/100

Principal P =$500

Rate = 3%

Time = 2 years

Therefore, interest =

500 x 3 x 2 /100

= 3000/100

= $30

Solve the absolute value equation |2x+11|=7
Elena L [17]

Answer: hope it helps

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+11 absolute value equals 2x+11, then 2x+11=7, subtract 11 from itself, and 7 you get 2x=4 divide both sides by 2 an you get -2=x.
