Answer:

The null and alternative hypothesis are:

H_0: \pi_1-\pi_2=0\\\\H_a:\pi_1-\pi_2> 0

Test statistic z = 6.687

P-value = 0

The null hypothesis is rejected.

There is enough evidence to support the claim that seat belts are effective in reducing fatalities.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a hypothesis test for the difference between proportions.

The claim is that seat belts are effective in reducing fatalities.

Then, the null and alternative hypothesis are:

H_0: \pi_1-\pi_2=0\\\\H_a:\pi_1-\pi_2> 0

The significance level is assumed to be 0.05.

The sample 1, of size n1=2950 has a proportion of p1=0.0132.

p_1=X_1/n_1=39/2950=0.0132

The sample 2, of size n2=7822 has a proportion of p2=0.0026.

p_2=X_2/n_2=20/7822=0.0026

The difference between proportions is (p1-p2)=0.0107.

p_d=p_1-p_2=0.0132-0.0026=0.0107

The pooled proportion, needed to calculate the standard error, is:

p=\dfrac{X_1+X_2}{n_1+n_2}=\dfrac{39+20}{2950+7822}=\dfrac{59}{10772}=0.0055

The estimated standard error of the difference between means is computed using the formula:

s_{p1-p2}=\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n_1}+\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n_2}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{0.0055*0.9945}{2950}+\dfrac{0.0055*0.9945}{7822}}\\\\\\s_{p1-p2}=\sqrt{0+0}=\sqrt{0}=0.0016

Then, we can calculate the z-statistic as:

z=\dfrac{p_d-(\pi_1-\pi_2)}{s_{p1-p2}}=\dfrac{0.0107-0}{0.0016}=\dfrac{0.0107}{0.0016}=6.687

This test is a right-tailed test, so the P-value for this test is calculated as (using a z-table):

P-value=P(t>6.687)=0

As the P-value (0) is smaller than the significance level (0.05), the effect is significant.

The null hypothesis is rejected.

There is enough evidence to support the claim that seat belts are effective in reducing fatalities.

Find the sum of the first 9 terms of the sequence. Show all work for full credit.
Kamila [148]
We can see the sequence goes by decreasing 9 on each number

so the numbers are

2, -7, -16, -25, -34, -43, -52, -61, -70

so adding all these numbers we get

2-7-16-25-34-43-52-61-70

= -306

One night Puvi spent 1/3 of his money on dinner and then 1/4 of the remaining money on dessert. He then had just enough left so
arsen [322]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of two tickets = 2 * 30 = £60

Let the amount with Puvi = £x

Money spent on dinner = (1/3)*x

                                        = \dfrac{1}{3}x

Remaining \ money =x -  \dfrac{1}{3}x =\dfrac{3}{3}x-\dfrac{1}{3}x=\dfrac{2}{3}x

Money \ spent \ on \ dessert = \dfrac{1}{4} *\dfrac{2}{3}x =\dfrac{1}{6}x\\\\\\

Total money - money spent on dinner - money spent on dessert = 60

x -\dfrac{1}{3}x -\dfrac{1}{6}x=60\\\\\\\dfrac{6}{6}x-\dfrac{1*2}{3*2}-\dfrac{1}{6}x =60\\\\\\\dfrac{6}{6}x-\dfrac{2}{6}x-\dfrac{1}{6}x=60\\\\\\\dfrac{6-2-1}{12}x=60\\\\\\\dfrac{3}{12}x=60\\\\\\x=60*\dfrac{12}{3}=60*4=240

Money that Puvi had at the start of the night = £ 240

Find the point (,) on the curve =8 that is closest to the point (3,0). [To do this, first find the distance function between (,)
ELEN [110]

Question:

Find the point (,) on the curve y = \sqrt x that is closest to the point (3,0).

[To do this, first find the distance function between (,) and (3,0) and minimize it.]

Answer:

(x,y) = (\frac{5}{2},\frac{\sqrt{10}}{2}})

Step-by-step explanation:

y = \sqrt x can be represented as: (x,y)

Substitute \sqrt x for y

(x,y) = (x,\sqrt x)

So, next:

Calculate the distance between (x,\sqrt x) and (3,0)

Distance is calculated as:

d = \sqrt{(x_1-x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2}

So:

d = \sqrt{(x-3)^2 + (\sqrt x - 0)^2}

d = \sqrt{(x-3)^2 + (\sqrt x)^2}

Evaluate all exponents

d = \sqrt{x^2 - 6x +9 + x}

Rewrite as:

d = \sqrt{x^2 + x- 6x +9 }

d = \sqrt{x^2 - 5x +9 }

Differentiate using chain rule:

Let

u = x^2 - 5x +9

\frac{du}{dx} = 2x - 5

So:

d = \sqrt u

d = u^\frac{1}{2}

\frac{dd}{du} = \frac{1}{2}u^{-\frac{1}{2}}

Chain Rule:

d' = \frac{du}{dx} * \frac{dd}{du}

d' = (2x-5) * \frac{1}{2}u^{-\frac{1}{2}}

d' = (2x - 5) * \frac{1}{2u^{\frac{1}{2}}}

d' = \frac{2x - 5}{2\sqrt u}

Substitute: u = x^2 - 5x +9

d' = \frac{2x - 5}{2\sqrt{x^2 - 5x + 9}}

Next, is to minimize (by equating d' to 0)

\frac{2x - 5}{2\sqrt{x^2 - 5x + 9}} = 0

Cross Multiply

2x - 5 = 0

Solve for x

2x  =5

x = \frac{5}{2}

Substitute x = \frac{5}{2} in y = \sqrt x

y = \sqrt{\frac{5}{2}}

Split

y = \frac{\sqrt 5}{\sqrt 2}

Rationalize

y = \frac{\sqrt 5}{\sqrt 2} *  \frac{\sqrt 2}{\sqrt 2}

y = \frac{\sqrt {10}}{\sqrt 4}

y = \frac{\sqrt {10}}{2}

Hence:

(x,y) = (\frac{5}{2},\frac{\sqrt{10}}{2}})
