"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.

In London, the charge of a tour bus consists of a fixed rental price plus a per kilometre rate, that depends on the distance of
ella [17]

Using a linear function, we have that:

a) The fixed cost is of $10.

b) The equation is: C = 10 + 12d.

c) The cost of an 18 km trip is $226.

d) The distance traveled is of 20 km.

<h3>What is a linear function?</h3>

A linear function is modeled by:

y = mx + b

In which:

  • m is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, by how much y changes when x changes by 1.
  • b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0, and can also be interpreted as the initial value of the function.

For this problem, the slope is of m = 12. When d = 5, C(d) = 70, hence we find the fixed cost as follows:

C(d) = 12d + b

70 = 60 + b

b = 10.

Hence the equation is:

C(d) = 12d + 10.

For a trip of 18 km, d = 18, hence the cost is:

C(12) = 12 x 18 + 10 = $226.

When the cost is of $250, the distance is found as follows:

250 = 12d + 10

12d = 240

d = 240/12

d = 20 km.

Which fraction has a terminating decimal as its decimal expansion?
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

fraction which has a terminating decimal as its decimal expansion is:

1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given 4 fractions:

1/3 , 1/5 , 1/7 and 1/9

We have to find which fraction has terminating decimal.

1/3 = 0.33333...

1/5 = 0.2

1/7 = 0.142857142857...

1/9 =0.11111.....

Hence, fraction which has a terminating decimal as its decimal expansion is:

1/5
