In a random sample of 380 cars driven at low altitudes, 42 of them exceeded a standard of 10 grams of particulate pollution per

gallon of fuel consumed. In an independent random sample of 90 cars driven at high altitudes, 24 of them exceeded the standard. Compute the test statistic for testing if the proportion of high-altitude vehicles exceeding the standard is greater than the proportion of low-altitude vehicles exceeding the standard.

Answer:

The test statistic for testing if the proportion of high-altitude vehicles exceeding the standard is greater than the proportion of low-altitude vehicles exceeding the standard is 3.234.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that in a random sample of 380 cars driven at low altitudes, 42 of them exceeded a standard of 10 grams of particulate pollution per gallon of fuel consumed.

In an independent random sample of 90 cars driven at high altitudes, 24 of them exceeded the standard.

Let p_1 = <u><em>population proportion of cars driven at high altitudes who exceeded a standard of 10 grams</em></u>.

p_2 = <u><em>population proportion of cars driven at low altitudes who exceeded a standard of 10 grams</em></u>.

So, Null Hypothesis, H_0 : p_1\leq p_2      {means that the proportion of high-altitude vehicles exceeding the standard is smaller than or equal to the proportion of low-altitude vehicles exceeding the standard}

Alternate Hypothesis, H_A : p_1>p_2      {means that the proportion of high-altitude vehicles exceeding the standard is greater than the proportion of low-altitude vehicles exceeding the standard}

The test statistics that will be used here is <u>Two-sample z-test statistics</u> for proportions;

                             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 cars driven at high altitudes who exceeded a standard of 10 grams = \frac{24}{90} = 0.27

\hat p_2 = sample proportion of cars driven at low altitudes who exceeded a standard of 10 grams = \frac{42}{380} = 0.11

n_1 = sample of cars driven at high altitudes = 90

n_2 = sample of cars driven at low altitudes = 380

So, the test statistics =  \frac{(0.27-0.11)-(0)}{\sqrt{\frac{0.27(1-0.27)}{90}+\frac{0.11(1-0.11)}{380} } }      

                                   =  3.234

The value of z-test statistics is 3.234.

Let y- 2t+ 5 be a linear function representing the distance from home for an ant tminutes after starting out from a location nea
blondinia [14]

The 5 represents the starting distance from home. In other words, when t = 0, the value of y is y = 5. Replacing t with 0 leads to this y value. This is the y intercept. So at time 0 minutes, the ant is 5 units from home. Replace "units" with whatever units you happen to be using.

OLEGan [10]
Y-intercept, where the graph crosses y-axiss is 0. that means in the equation: y = mx + b
b = 0
the m, is slope. looking at the graph you can see the points on the line are connect up 4 right 1. rise/run = slope = 4
