Answer:

Yes , they have enough wire

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Sam and Lou need a total of 1 foot wire for science project.

Sam's wire measured 8/12 foot long.

Lou's measured 7/8 foot long.

To Find :  Do they have enough wire for the science project?

Solution :

Since Sam has  8/12 foot long wire.

Lou has 7/8 foot long wire.

Total wire they have :

\frac{8}{12} +\frac{7}{8}

\frac{16+21}{24}

\frac{37}{24}

1.5416

Thus they have 1.5416 foot wire

Since they required 1 foot wire .

So, they have enough wire.

A researcher wanted to test the claim that, "Seat belts are effective in reducing fatalities." A simple random sample of front-s
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

z = \frac{0.00206 -0.0110}{\sqrt{\frac{0.00206*(1-0.00206)}{7765} +\frac{0.0110*(1-0.0110)}{2823}}}= -4.405

Now we can find the p value since we are using a left tailed test the p value would be:

p_v = P(z

Since the p value is very low compared to the significance level of 0.05 we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis and then the best conclusion would be:

B) Since p <a, we conclude that this data shows that seat belts are effective in reducing fatalities.  

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following info given from the problem

X_1 =31 number of people killed with occupants not wering seat belts

n_1 = 2823 number of people not wearing seat belts

\hat p_1 =\frac{31}{2823}=0.0110 represent the estimated proportion of people killed not wearing seatbelts

X_2 =16 number of people killed with occupants using wering seat belts

n_2 = 7765 number of people using wearing seat belts

\hat p_2 =\frac{16}{7765}=0.00206 represent the estimated proportion of people killed  wearing seatbelts

We want to check if seat belts are effective in reducing fatalities, so we want to test the following system of hypothesis:

Null hypothesis: p_2 \geq p_1

Alternative hypothesis: p_2

The statistic for this case is given by:

z = \frac{\hat p_2 -\hat p_1}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p_1 (1-\hat p_1)}{n_1} +\hat p_2 (1-\hat p_2)}{n_2}}}

And replacing we got:

z = \frac{0.00206 -0.0110}{\sqrt{\frac{0.00206*(1-0.00206)}{7765} +\frac{0.0110*(1-0.0110)}{2823}}}= -4.405

Now we can find the p value since we are using a left tailed test the p value would be:

p_v = P(z

Since the p value is very low compared to the significance level of 0.05 we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis and then the best conclusion would be:

B) Since p <a, we conclude that this data shows that seat belts are effective in reducing fatalities.

Mkey [24]
From September 20 to January 20, there are 4 months only which is equivalent to 1/3 of a year. The interest earned by the investment, P, made is calculated 
               I = P x i x n
where I is the interest, P is the principal amount, i is the interest rate, and n is the number of years. Substituting the known values,
                I = ($7000)(0.08)(1/3)
                I = $186.67
Hence, the answer to this item is $186.67.
