Answer:
1) No, there is not enough evidence to support the claim that the vaccine was effective (P-value=0.104) .
The null and alternative hypothesis are:
being the subindex 1 for the experimental group and subindex 2 for the control group.
2) Test statistic z=-1.26
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a hypothesis test for the difference between proportions.
The claim is that the vaccine was effective.
Then, the null and alternative hypothesis are:
The significance level is 0.01.
The sample 1 (experimental group), of size n1=100000 has a proportion of p1=0.0002.
The sample 2 (control group), of size n2=100000 has a proportion of p2=0.0003.
The difference between proportions is (p1-p2)=-0.0001.
The pooled proportion, needed to calculate the standard error, is:
The estimated standard error of the difference between means is computed using the formula:
Then, we can calculate the z-statistic as:
This test is a left-tailed test, so the P-value for this test is calculated as (using a z-table):
As the P-value (0.104) is bigger than the significance level (0.01), the effect is not significant.
The null hypothesis failed to be rejected.
There is not enough evidence to support the claim that the vaccine was effective.
<u>Part (a)</u>
The variable y is the dependent variable and the variable x is the independent variable.
<u>Part (b)</u>
The cost of one ticket is $1.25. Therefore, the cost of 25 tickets will be: .
Now, we know that Johnny spent his money only on ride tickets and fair admission and that he spent a total of $43.75.
Therefore, the price of the fair admission is: $43.75-$31.25=$12.5
If we use y to represent the total cost and x to represent the number of ride tickets, the linear equation that can be used to determine the cost for anyone who only pays for ride tickets and fair admission can be written as:
......Equation 1
<u>Part (c)</u>
The above equation is logical because, in general, the total cost of the rides will depend upon the number of ride tickets bought and that will be 1.25x. Now, even if one does not take any rides, that is when x=0, they still will have to pay for the fair admission, and thus their total cost, y=$12.5.
Likewise, any "additional" cost will depend upon the number of ride tickets bought as already suggested. Thus, the total cost will be the sum of the total ride ticket cost and the fixed fair admission cost. Thus, the above Equation 1 is the correct representative linear equation of the question given.
