A city council is deciding whether or not to spend additional money to reduce the amount of traffic. The council decides that it

will increase the transportation budget if the amount of waiting time for drivers exceeds 18 minutes. A sample of 26 main roads results in a mean waiting time of 21.1 minutes with a sample standard deviation of 5.4 minutes. Conduct a hypothesis test at the 5% significance level.

Answer:

t = 2.9272 > 1.708 at 25 degrees of freedom

null hypothesis is rejected

The council decides that it will increase the transportation budget if the amount of waiting time for drivers is not exceeds 18 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step (i):</u>-

A sample of 26 main roads results in a mean waiting time of 21.1 minutes with a sample standard deviation of 5.4 minutes.

Given sample size 'n' = 26

The mean of the sample 'x⁻ = 21.1 min

Standard deviation of the sample 'S' = 5.4 min

The Population mean 'μ' = 18min

<u>Step(ii)</u>:-

<u>Null hypothesis: H₀</u> :  The council decides that it will increase the transportation budget if the amount of waiting time for drivers exceeds 18 minutes.

'μ' > 18min

<u>Alternative hypothesis</u> :H₁:  

'μ' <18min

<u>Level of significance :</u> ∝=0.05

Degrees of freedom γ = n-1 = 26-1 =25

The test statistic

 t  = \frac{x^{-}-mean }{\frac{S}{\sqrt{n} } }

t  = \frac{21.1-18}{\frac{5.4}{\sqrt{26} } }

t = 2.9272

<u>Step(iii)</u>:-

The tabulated value t = 1.708 at 25 degrees of freedom

t = 2.9272 > 1.708 at 25 degrees of freedom

Null hypothesis is rejected at  5% significance level of significance

<u>Conclusion</u>:-  

The council decides that it will increase the transportation budget if the amount of waiting time for drivers is not exceeds 18 minutes

If this shape is trapezium
m (<D) = m (<C)
since AB parallel to CD
m (<C) + m (<A) = 180°
m (<C) = 180 - 125 = 55°
m (<D) = 55°

A driveway is 60-feet long by 6-feet wide. The length and width of the driveway will each be increased by the same number of fee
Dafna11 [192]

Answer: C) 4(x+33)

Step-by-step explanation:

1. You know that the perimeter of the larger driveway is represented with the following expression given in the problem:

(x+60)+(x+6)+(x+60)+(x+6)

2. When you simplify it and add the like terms, you obtain:

x+60+x+6+x+60+x+6=4x+132

3. Now, you can factor out 4. Therefore, you can write the expression as below:

4(x+33)

4. So, you can conclude that the answer is the option C.
