Researchers collected data on the numbers of hospital admissions resulting from motor vehicle​ crashes, and results are given be

low for Fridays on the 6th of a month and Fridays on the following 13th of the same month. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that when the 13th day of a month falls on a​ Friday, the numbers of hospital admissions from motor vehicle crashes are not affected. what re the hypotheses for this test?

Answer:

This hypothesis test shows there is indeed a significant difference between the number of hospital admissions from motor vehicle crashes on Friday the 13th and the number of hospital admissions from motor vehicle crashes on Friday the 6th.

Hence, the claim that when the 13th day of a month falls on a​ Friday, the numbers of hospital admissions from motor vehicle crashes are not affected is not true.

Step-by-step explanation:

The missing data from the question

The numbers of hospital admissions from motor vehicle crashes

Friday the 6th || 10 | 8 | 4 | 4 | 2

Friday the 13th | 12 | 10 | 12 | 14 | 14

The null hypothesis would be that there is no significant evidence to conclude that the number of hospital admissions from motor vehicle crashes on Friday the 6th is different from the number of hospital admissions from motor vehicle crashes on Friday the 13th. That is, when the 13th day of a month falls on a​ Friday, the numbers of hospital admissions from motor vehicle crashes are not affected.

The alternative hypothesis is that there is significant evidence to conclude that the number of hospital admissions from motor vehicle crashes on Friday the 6th is different from the number of hospital admissions from motor vehicle crashes on Friday the 13th. That is, when the 13th day of a month falls on a​ Friday, the numbers of hospital admissions from motor vehicle crashes are affected.

If the population mean of number of hospital admissions from motor vehicle crashes on Friday the 13th = μ₁

And the population mean of number of hospital admissions from motor vehicle crashes on Friday the 6th = μ₂

If the difference in population mean of number of hospital admissions from motor vehicle crashes on Friday the 13th and number of hospital admissions from motor vehicle crashes on Friday the 6th is μ

μ = μ₁ - μ₂

Mathematically,

The null hypothesis is that

H₀: μ = 0

Or

H₀: μ₁ = μ₂

The alternative hypothesis is given as

Hₐ: μ ≠ 0

Or

Hₐ: μ₁ ≠ μ₂

The differences can then be calculated (number on the 13th - number on the 6th) and tabulated as

Friday the 6th || 10 | 8 | 4 | 4 | 2

Friday the 13th | 12 | 10 | 12 | 14 | 14

Differences ||| 2 | 2 | 8 | 10 | 12

We need the sample mean and sample standard deviation.

Mean = (Σx)/N

= (2+2+8+10+12)/5 = 6.80

Standard deviation = σ = √[Σ(x - xbar)²/N]

Σ(x - xbar)² = (2-6.8)² + (2-6.8)² + (8-6.8)² + (10-6.8)² + (12-6.8)² = 84.8

σ = √[Σ(x - xbar)²/N] = √(84.8/5) = 4.12

To do this test, we will use the t-distribution because no information on the population standard deviation is known

So, we compute the t-test statistic

t = (x - μ)/σₓ

x = sample mean of difference = 6.80

μ = 0 (should be 0 if there's no difference between the two sets of data)

σₓ = standard error = [σ√n]

where n = Sample size = 5

σ = 4.12

σₓ = [4.12/√5] = 1.84

t = (6.80 - 0) ÷ 1.84

t = 3.70

checking the tables for the p-value of this t-statistic

Degree of freedom = df = n - 1 = 5 - 1 = 4

Significance level = 0.05

The hypothesis test uses a two-tailed condition because we're testing in two directions.

p-value (for t = 3.70, at 0.05 significance level, df = 4, with a two tailed condition) = 0.020835

The interpretation of p-values is that

When the (p-value > significance level), we fail to reject the null hypothesis and when the (p-value < significance level), we reject the null hypothesis and accept the alternative hypothesis.

So, for this question, significance level = 0.05

p-value = 0.020835

0.020835 < 0.05

Hence,

p-value < significance level

This means that reject the null hypothesis, accept the alternative hypothesis & say that there is enough evidence to conclude that number of hospital admissions from motor vehicle crashes on Friday the 6th is different from the number of hospital admissions from motor vehicle crashes on Friday the 13th. That is, when the 13th day of a month falls on a​ Friday, the numbers of hospital admissions from motor vehicle crashes are affected.

Hope this Helps!!!

Solve the rational equation. If an equation has no solution, so state.<br>x+6/x=-7​
kupik [55]

Answer:

x=−1 or x=−6

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply all terms by x and cancel:

xx+6=−7x

x2+6=−7x(Simplify both sides of the equation)

x2+6−−7x=−7x−−7x(Subtract -7x from both sides)

x2+7x+6=0

(x+1)(x+6)=0(Factor left side of equation)

x+1=0 or x+6=0(Set factors equal to 0)

x=−1 or x=−6

Check answers. (Plug them in to make sure they work.)

x=−1(Works in original equation)

x=−6(Works in original equation)

Emery borrowed money from her brother to buy a new phone, and is paying off a fixed amount each week. After 2 weeks, she will ow
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer: A. The original price was $608. B. $76 each week C. Quite useful, as it keeps track of the amount of money she still needs to owe each week.

Step-by-step explanation: For part A, 5 week subtracted by 2 weeks is 3 weeks. 456-228 is 228. Then divide 228 by 3 and you get $76. Then do 2x76 to get 152 and add it to 456, and you get 608.

Math 8: Linear Functions, Part 2
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

\boxed{\text{1. y + 5 = -4(x - 3); \qquad 2. y - 8 = x + 1}}

Step-by-step explanation:

Question 1

The point-slope formula for a straight line is

y – y₁ = m(x – x₁)

x₁ = 3; y₁ = -5; m = -4  

Substitute the values

\boxed{\textbf{y + 5 = -4(x - 3)}}

The diagram shows the graph of equation 1 (red) with slope -4 passing through (3,-5).

Question 2

x₁ = -1; y₁ = 8; m = 1  

Substitute the values

\boxed{\textbf{y - 8 = x + 1}}

The diagram shows the graph of equation 2 (green) with slope 1 passing through (-1,8).

Question 10 (1 point) Solve for x. 1/2+x/6=4/3
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

The value of x for the given expression is 5 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression as

\dfrac{1}{2} + \dfrac{x}{6} = \dfrac{4}{3}

Now, arrange the equation

So, \dfrac{x}{6} = \dfrac{4}{3} - \dfrac{1}{2}

<u>Taking L.C.M on right hand side </u>

Or,  \dfrac{x}{6} = \dfrac{8 -3}{6}

Or,  \dfrac{x}{6} = \dfrac{5}{6}

Or, x = \frac{5\times 6}{6}

∴  x = 5

So, The value of x = 5

Hence,The value of x for the given expression is 5 . Answer
