According to a certain government agency for a large​ country, the proportion of fatal traffic accidents in the country in which

the driver had a positive blood alcohol concentration​ (BAC) is 0.39. Suppose a random sample of 105 traffic fatalities in a certain region results in 54 that involved a positive BAC. Does the sample evidence suggest that the region has a higher proportion of traffic fatalities involving a positive BAC than the country at the alpha equals 0.1 level of​ significance?

Answer:

The sample evidence suggest that the region has a higher proportion of traffic fatalities involving a positive BAC than the country.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case we have to perform a hypothesis test on a proportion.

The null and alternative hypothesis are:

H_0:\pi\leq0.39\\\\H_1:\pi>0.39

The level of significance is 0.1.

The standard deviation for the proportion can be calculated as:

\sigma=\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{N} }= \sqrt{\frac{0.39(1-0.39)}{105} }=\sqrt{\frac{0.2379}{105} }= 0.0476

The proportion of the sample is

p=\frac{54}{105}= 0.51

The test statistic is

z=\frac{p-\pi-0.5/N}{\sigma} =\frac{0.51-0.39-0.5/105}{0.0476} =\frac{ 0.1152 }{0.0476}=2.421

The one-tail P-value for z=2.421 is P(z>2.421)=0.00774.

The P-value is smaller than the significance level, so the effect is significant.

The null hypothesis is rejected: the sample evidence suggest that the region has a higher proportion of traffic fatalities involving a positive BAC than the country.

What is the equation, in standard form, of a parabola that contains the following points? (-2,18),(0,4),(4,24)
nydimaria [60]
Y=ax² + bx + c and A(-2,18), B(0.4), C(4,24) given

1)Let's determine 1st the value of c in using the pair of B
4= a(0)² + b(0) + c , c=4 and y=ax²+bx+4

2) Use the pair of A: 18 = 4a -2b + 4===> 4a-2b=14

3) Use C pair: 24 = 16a+4b+4 ==> 16a+4b=20

4) solve the system equation in 2) and 3) and you'll find a=2 and b=-3

Hence the equation  is y =2x²-3x+4

Ludmilka [50]
She has 6 1/3. The larger dress need 3 2/3. So 6 1/3 - 3 2/3 = 2 2/3
So Mrs. Rodriguez will need 2 2/3 for the smaller dress

The measure of b is..
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

b =21

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a right triangle, we can use the Pythagorean theorem

a^2 + b^2 = c^2 where a  and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse

20^2 + b^2 = 29^1

400 + b^2 =841

Subtract 400 from each side

b^2 = 441

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(b^2) = sqrt(441)

b =21
