A large automobile insurance company selected samples of single and married male policyholders and recorded the number who made

an insurance claim over the preceding three-year period.
Single Policyholders Married Policyholders
n1 = 900 n2 = 400
Number making claims = 135 Number making claims = 24

Required:
a. Use a level of significance α = 0.05. Test to determine whether the claim rates differ between single and married male policyholders. Explain your determination.
b. Provide a 95% confidence interval for the difference between the proportions for the two populations.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Single policy holders (n1) = 900

Number making claims (x1) = 135

Married Policy holders (n2) = 400

Number making claims (x2) = 24

α = 0.05

a. Use a level of significance α = 0.05. Test to determine whether the claim rates differ between single and married male policyholders. Explain your determination.

Null: p1 - p2 = 0

Alternative : p1 - p2 ≠ 0

p = (n1p1 + n2p2) / n1 + n2 ;

p1 = x1/n1 = 135 / 900 = 0.15

p2 = x2/n2 = 24 / 400 = 0.06

p = (900*0.15 + 400*0.06) / (900 + 400)

p = 0.1223076

Test statistic (z):

(p1 - p2) / √p(1-p)(1/n1 + 1/n2)

(0.15 - 0.06) / √0.12231(1-0.12231)(1/900 + 1/400)

= 4.5710979

Decision:

Reject Null if P < α

Obtaining p value from z score using calculator :

P value = 0.0001

0.0001 < 0.05

Hence,

Reject Null

1. If the domain of a function f(x) is the set {10, 20, 30}. What does the information tell you about f-1(x)?
ziro4ka [17]

PART A (1 in diagram)

Each mapping diagram represents a function because none of the elements in the inputs maps on to two different elements in the outputs.

1. The domain of the given function f(x) is the set {10, 20, 30}.

All we can say about

{f}^{ - 1} (x)

is that, it has a range of {10, 20, 30}.

This is because the domain of a function becomes the range of its inverse function.

2. If the graph of a function f(x) includes the point (3, 0), then the graph of the inverse function ,

{f}^{ - 1} (x)

will contain the point (0,3).

Reason:The point on the graph of the inverse function is obtained by reflecting the corresponding point on the graph of the function in the line y=x. We just have to swap the coordinates.

In simple terms the domain of the function becomes the range of the inverse function and vice versa.

3. If the first term in an arithmetic sequence is 2.

Then we have a=2.

If the twelfth term is 211, then

a + 11d = 211...(1)

Put a=2 into this equation.

2 + 11d = 211

Solve for d.

11d = 211 - 2

11d = 209

d =  \frac{209}{11}  = 19

If

a_n = 135

then

a + (n - 1)d = 135

Substitute a=2 and d=19

2 + (n - 1)19 = 135

19(n - 1) = 133

(n - 1) =  \frac{133}{19}

n - 1 = 7

n = 7 + 1 = 8

Therefore n=8

The answer is B. To find the median you should place the numbers in value order. The middle number will be the median. :
Girls : 73 81 89 91 93
Boys: 68 73 78 86 91

The girl's scores' median is 89
The boy's scores' median is 78
89-78= 11
