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

Frank is having the car pets in his house cleaned. The cost of the cleaning is calculated from the area of the carpets. C= the c
asambeis [7]

Answer:

Cost of the cleaning, C is the dependent variable

Area of the carpet, a is the independent variable

Step-by-step explanation:

cost of the cleaning is calculated from the area of the carpets

C= the cost of the cleaning a= the area of the carpets.

Cost of the cleaning, C is the dependent variable

Area of the carpet, a is the independent variable

A dependent variable is a variable which depends on other factors to exist. They take their values based on other factors. Their value is changed as a result of a change in independent variable

An independent variable is a variable which does not change as a result of the change in other factors. They take their values irrespective of external factors around them.

Write greatest unit fractions that are repeating decimals. Then express each fraction as a decimal.
LekaFEV [45]
Our repeating decimal would be= 0.5555….
Let’s give 0.5555….. repeating decimal a variable of x:
x= 0.5555…. or 0.5(move 1 point to the right)
So ,10x = 5.5555 or 5.5

Now, Let’s do subtraction:
10x = 5.5555… or 5.5  
<u>-   x =  0.5555… or 0.5</u>
 9x  = 5.0            or 5.0

To get a fraction, provide a denominator the same with the numerator of variable x which is 9. Then divide the difference:
<span><u>9x</u> = <u>5.0</u>  
9        9</span> <span> <span><span> <span> <span>Therefore, x = <u>5
</u>                                     9</span> </span> </span> </span></span>
