Answer:

Brent's speed is \frac{20}{3}\text{ mph}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The speed s that Brent can ride his bike if he rides \frac{3}{5} of an hour and travels 4 miles is given by the equation 4=\frac{3}{5}s

To find : What is Brent’s speed?      

Solution :

The distance is d=4 miles.

The time taken is t=\frac{3}{5} hour.

Solving the given equation to find s,

4=\frac{3}{5}s

s=\frac{4}{\frac{3}{5}}

s=\frac{20}{3}

Therefore, Brent's speed is \frac{20}{3}\text{ mph}

His speed is 6 2/3 mi/hr.

Our equation is 4 = 3/5s; to solve this, we want to divide both sides by 3/5:

4 ÷ 3/5 = (3/5s) ÷ 3/5
4/1 ÷ 3/5 = s
4/1 × 5/3 = s
20/3 = s
6 2/3 = s

Answer:

Chisquare statistic

Step-by-step explanation:

The most appropriate test to use here is the Chisquare test as it isemployed when testing the relationship between two variables. Both the T statistic and z statistics are the used for testing difference in means. However, in the analysis above, we are given two variables with each having its own levels. Hence, the Chisquare test is the most appropriate in this kind of situation a it measures if a difference exists between the two variables. It tests if they are related or independent of on one another

What is the slope of the line through (-5,-10) and(-1, 5)?
Mila [183]

Answer: The slope is 15/4.

Step-by-step explanation:

M = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

M = (5 - (-10))/(-1 - (-5))

M = (5 + 10)/(-1 + 5)

M = 15/4

Clarinex is a drug used to treat asthma. In clinical tests of this drug, 1655 patients were treated with 5- mg doses of Clarinex
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

z=\frac{0.021 -0.012}{\sqrt{\frac{0.012(1-0.012)}{1655}}}=3.363  

p_v =P(z>3.363)=0.00039  

So the p value obtained was a very low value and using the significance level given \alpha=0.01 we have p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 1% of significance the proportion of interest is significantly higher than 0.012 (1.2%)

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation

n=1655 represent the random sample taken

\hat p=0.021 estimated proportion of interest

p_o=0.012 is the value that we want to test

\alpha=0.01 represent the significance level

Confidence=99% or 0.99

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

p_v represent the p value (variable of interest)  

Concepts and formulas to use  

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to test the claim that true proportions is higher than 0.012.:  

Null hypothesis:p \leq 0.012  

Alternative hypothesis:p > 0.012  

When we conduct a proportion test we need to use the z statisitic, and the is given by:  

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

The One-Sample Proportion Test is used to assess whether a population proportion \hat p is significantly different from a hypothesized value p_o.

Calculate the statistic  

Since we have all the info requires we can replace in formula (1) like this:  

z=\frac{0.021 -0.012}{\sqrt{\frac{0.012(1-0.012)}{1655}}}=3.363  

Statistical decision  

It's important to refresh the p value method or p value approach . "This method is about determining "likely" or "unlikely" by determining the probability assuming the null hypothesis were true of observing a more extreme test statistic in the direction of the alternative hypothesis than the one observed". Or in other words is just a method to have an statistical decision to fail to reject or reject the null hypothesis.  

The significance level provided \alpha=0.01. The next step would be calculate the p value for this test.  

Since is a right tailed test the p value would be:  

p_v =P(z>3.363)=0.00039  

So the p value obtained was a very low value and using the significance level given \alpha=0.01 we have p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 1% of significance the proportion of interest is significantly higher than 0.012 (1.2%)
