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.

Kay's Dessert Shop bakes cookies. The ratio of chocolate chip to sugar cookies baked is always 5 to 2. If she bakes 210 cookies
Gnom [1K]

Answer: 60

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The ratio of chocolate chip to sugar cookies is 5:2

If she bakes 210 cookies in one day

Suppose she baked x amount of chocolate chips on that day

So, we can write

\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{2}{5+2}\times 210\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{2}{7}\times 210=60

There were 60 sugar cookies on that day

The function f(x) is defined as follows:
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

f(-3)=-8\\f(2)=4

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the values of a piecewise function, we first have to determine which piece we are using.

For f(-3), x=-3. This means that we need to use 3x+1 as -3\leq 0

f(-3)=3(-3)+1\\\\f(-3)=-9+1\\\\f(-3)=-8

For f(2), x=2. This means that we need to use f(x)=4 as x is equal to 2.

f(x)=4

You estimate that a puppy weighs 12 pounds. The actual weight of the puppy is 14 pounds. Find the percent error. Round your answ
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

The Estimated weight of the puppy = 12 pounds

Actual weight of the puppy = 14 pounds

Difference in estimated weight and actual weight = 14 - 12

= 2 pounds  

⇒ [(14 - 12)*100]/14

⇒ (2*100)/14

⇒ 200/14

⇒ 14.285 %
