"Immediately after a ban on using hand-held cell phones while driving was implemented, compliance with the law was measured. A r

andom sample of 1,250 drivers found that 98.9% were in compliance. A year after the implementation, compliance was again measured to see if compliance was the same (or not) as previously measured. A different random sample of 1,100 drivers found 96.9% compliance."
a. State an appropriate null and alternative hypothesis for testing whether or not there is any statistical difference in these two proportions measured initially and then one year later.
b. Conduct the test of hypothesis you stated in part a). Be sure to check the conditions for your test. State the P-value of your test and your conclusion.

Answer:

(a) Null Hypothesis, H_0 : p_1-p_2=0  or  p_1= p_2  

    Alternate Hypothesis, H_A : p_1-p_2\neq 0  or  p_1\neq p_2

(b) We conclude that there is a statistical difference in these two proportions measured initially and then one year later.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a random sample of 1,250 drivers found that 98.9% were in compliance. A year after the implementation, compliance was again measured to see if compliance was the same (or not) as previously measured.

A different random sample of 1,100 drivers found 96.9% compliance."

<em />

<em>Let </em>p_1<em> = proportion of drivers that were in compliance initially</em>

p_2<em> = proportion of drivers that were in compliance one year later</em>

(a) <u>Null Hypothesis</u>, H_0 : p_1-p_2=0  or  p_1= p_2      {means that there is not any statistical difference in these two proportions measured initially and then one year later}

<u>Alternate Hypothesis</u>, H_A : p_1-p_2\neq 0  or  p_1\neq p_2     {means that there is a statistical difference in these two proportions measured initially and then one year later}

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

                     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 drivers in compliance initially = 98.9%

\hat p_2 = sample proportion of drivers in compliance one year later = 96.9%

n_1 = sample of drivers initially = 1,250

n_2 = sample of drivers one year later = 1,100

(b) So, <u><em>the test statistics</em></u>  =  \frac{(0.989-0.969)-(0)}{\sqrt{ \frac{0.989(1-0.989)}{1,250} + \frac{0.969(1-0.969)}{1,100}} }  

                                           =  3.33

<u>Now, P-value of the test statistics is given by;</u>

         P-value = P(Z > 3.33) = 1 - P(Z \leq 3.33)

                                            = 1 - 0.99957 = <u>0.00043</u>

Since in the question we are not given with the level of significance so we assume it to be 5%. Now at 5% significance level, the z table gives critical values between -1.96 and 1.96 for two-tailed test.

<em>Since our test statistics does not lies within the range of critical values of z, so we have sufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis as it will fall in the rejection region due to which </em><u><em>we reject our null hypothesis.</em></u>

Therefore, we conclude that there is a statistical difference in these two proportions measured initially and then one year later.

C<br> Solve for m:<br> 3/4m - 3 = 9<br> May I please have help!
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

m=16

Step-by-step explanation:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :  3/4*m-3-(9)=0

Step 1: Simplify 3/4

Equation at the end of step 1: ((3/4 x m) - 3) - 9 = 0

Step2: Subtracting a whole from a fraction

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  4  as the denominator :

        3     3 • 4

   3 =  —  =  —————

        1       4  

Equivalent fraction : The fraction thus generated looks different but has the same value as the whole

Common denominator : The equivalent fraction and the other fraction involved in the calculation share the same denominator

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

Adding up the two equivalent fractions

Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator

Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

3m - (3 • 4)                               3m - 12

—————4———————  =  ———4————

When a fraction equals zero ...

Where a fraction equals zero, its numerator, the part which is above the fraction line, must equal zero.

Now,to get rid of the denominator, Tiger multiplys both sides of the equation by the denominator.

Here's how:

 3•(m-16)

 ———————— • 4 = 0 • 4

    4    

Now, on the left hand side, the  4  cancels out the denominator, while, on the right hand side, zero times anything is still zero.

The equation now takes the shape :

  3  •  (m-16)  = 0

6.2      Solve :    3   =  0

This equation has no solution.

A a non-zero constant never equals zero.

Solve  :    m-16 = 0

Add  16  to both sides of the equation :

                     m = 16

What factors multiply to -80 and add to 6
forsale [732]

80 = -1(80), -2(40), -4(20), -5(4),

Total answers include: -81, 79, -42, 16, -9, and 1.

None of them add up to 6!

Are you doing polynomial equations?

If so, you can solve it the hard way.

x^2 + 6x -80 = 0

(x^2 + 6x + 9) - 80 = 9

(x+3)^2 = 89

(x+3) = 9.43

x = 6.43

If you're not doing those then I'm afraid your question has no answer.

Hope that helps!
