The department of public safety has an old memo stating that the number of accidents per week at a hazardous intersection varies

according to a Normal distribution, with a mean of 2.2 and a standard deviation of 1.4. Department officials implemented a new safety plan, heavier police patrols and new signs, to see if they could reduce the average number of accidents at this intersection. They recorded the number of accidents per week for 52 weeks. They find that the average over that period was two accidents per week. What is the P ‑value for the test of H 0 : μ = 2.2 against H a : μ < 2.2 ?

Answer:

P-value = 0.1515

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Population mean, μ = 2.2

Sample mean, \bar{x} = 2

Sample size, n = 52

Alpha, α = 0.05

Population standard deviation, σ = 1.4

First, we design the null and the alternate hypothesis

H_{0}: \mu =2.2\\H_A: \mu < 2.2

We use one-tailed(left) z test to perform this hypothesis.

Formula:

z_{stat} = \displaystyle\frac{\bar{x} - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} }

Putting all the values, we have

z_{stat} = \displaystyle\frac{2 - 2.2}{\frac{1.4}{\sqrt{52}} } = -1.03

Now, we calculate the p-value from the normal standard table.

P-value = 0.1515

If these two shapes are similar, what is the measure of the missing length g?
Sophie [7]
So if the shapes are similar, they have to have a number multiple from to get the other triangle. If you divide 63 by 42, you get 1.5. Then you have to divide 54 by 1.5 to get G and that would be 36.

Which of the following are solutions to the equation below? Check all that apply. x2 + x - 20 = 0
Mila [183]
Δ = 1 + 4*20 = 81
x' = (-1 + 9)/2 = 4
x'' = (-1 - 9)/2 = -5
4²  + 4 - 20 = 0
(-5)² - 5 - 20 = 0

Triangle JKL is dilated from the origin at a scale factor of 10 to create triangle J′K′L′.Select the option that completes the s
Aneli [31]

Given: Triangle JKL is dilated from the origin at a scale factor of 10 to create triangle J′K′L′.

Required: Correct option that complete the statement.

Explanation:

Now, triangle is dilated from the origin at a scale factor of 10.

So, the sides will become larger, but angles will remain the same.

Hence, the triangles will be similar as sides will be in proption (SSS rule).

So, The triangles are similar because their corresponding sides are proptional and their corresponding angles are congurent.

Final Answer: Second group is correct answer.
