A paper reported that in a representative sample of 282 American teens age 16 to 17, there were 71 who indicated that they had s

ent a text message while driving. For purposes of this exercise, assume that this sample is a random sample of 16- to 17-year-old Americans. Do these data provide convincing evidence that more than a quarter of Americans age 16 to 17 have sent a text message while driving? Test the appropriate hypotheses using a significance level of 0.01. (Round your test statistic to two decimal places and your P-value to four decimal places.)

Answer:

z=\frac{0.252 -0.25}{\sqrt{\frac{0.25(1-0.25)}{282}}}=0.0776  

p_v =P(z>0.0776)=0.4691  

Since the p value is higher than the significance level so then we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis and there is no evidence in order to say that the true proportion of teens more than a quarter of Americans age 16 to 17 have sent a text message while driving is higher than 0.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Information provided

n=282 represent the sample selected

X=71 represent the teens indicated that they had sent a text message while driving

\hat p=\frac{71}{282}=0.252 estimated proportion of teens indicated that they had sent a text message while driving

p_o=0.25 is the value that we want to test

\alpha=0.01 represent the significance level

z would represent the statistic

p_v represent the p value

System of hypothesis

We want to check if more than a quarter of Americans age 16 to 17 have sent a text message while driving, and the hypothesis are:

Null hypothesis:p\leq 0.7  

Alternative hypothesis:p > 0.25  

The statistic is given by:

z=\frac{\hat p -p_o}{\sqrt{\frac{p_o (1-p_o)}{n}}} (1)  

Replacing we got:

z=\frac{0.252 -0.25}{\sqrt{\frac{0.25(1-0.25)}{282}}}=0.0776  

Decision

The p value for this case is:

p_v =P(z>0.0776)=0.4691  

Since the p value is higher than the significance level so then we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis and there is no evidence in order to say that the true proportion of teens more than a quarter of Americans age 16 to 17 have sent a text message while driving is higher than 0.25

From a point at the waters edge, a bridge arch 53 m away has an angle of elevation of 30, and the top of a yacht mast 14 m away
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

We don't  even have to do a calculation.  

The arch of the bridge is at point C.

The top of the yacht's mast is at E.

Even though the yacht is much closer to the water's edge, its mast has a much smaller angle of elevation.

The yacht can easily pass under the bridge.
