Every few days, on my way home from work, I pull into Ahmad's
Friendly Fuel and fill up my car's gas tank.

His price has been $2.29 per gallon for almost 4 years now, and it still is.

I don't always buy the same amount of gas, but no matter how much I buy,
my cost always fits the linear equation ...

Cost = (2.29) · (number of gallons) dollars.

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."

Let $p_1$ = proportion of drivers that were in compliance initially

$p_2$ = proportion of drivers that were in compliance one year later

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

Alternate Hypothesis, $H_A$ : $p_1-p_2\neq 0$ 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 Two-sample z proportion statistics;

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, the test statistics = $\frac{(0.989-0.969)-(0)}{\sqrt{ \frac{0.989(1-0.989)}{1,250} + \frac{0.969(1-0.969)}{1,100}} }$

= 3.33

Now, P-value of the test statistics is given by;

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

= 1 - 0.99957 = 0.00043

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.

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 we reject our null hypothesis.

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

How do you do distributive property because I have a test tomorrow and it's like half my grade and I wasn't in school when they

BaLLatris [955]

Say you have the equation 5(5x+7)=155
First you multiply 5 by everything in the parenthesis so you get 25x+35=155 then subtract 35 from both sides and get 25x=120 then 120 divided by 25 equals 4.8 so x=4.8
