TDaP is a booster shot that prevents Diphtheria, Tetanus, and Pertussis in adults and adolescents. It should be administered eve

ry 8 years for it to remain effective. A random sample of 550 people living in a town that experienced a pertussis outbreak this year were divided into two groups. Group 1 was made up of 145 individuals who had not had the TDaP booster in the past 8 years, and Group 2 consisted of 355 individuals who had. In Group 1, 18 individuals caught pertussis during the outbreak, and in Group 2, 13 individuals caught pertussis. Is there evidence to suggest that the proportion of individuals who caught pertussis and were not up to date on their booster shot is higher than those that were? Test at the 0.05 level of significance. Enter the p-value - round to 5 decimal places.

Answer:

Yes. There is enough evidence to support the claim that the proportion of individuals who caught pertussis and were not up to date on their booster shot is higher than those that were.

P-value = 0.00013.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a hypothesis test for the difference between proportions.

The claim is that the proportion of individuals who caught pertussis and were not up to date on their booster shot is higher than those that were.

Then, the null and alternative hypothesis are:

H_0: \pi_1-\pi_2=0\\\\H_a:\pi_1-\pi_2> 0

The significance level is 0.05.

The sample 1 (Group 1), of size n1=145 has a proportion of p1=0.124.

p_1=X_1/n_1=18/145=0.124

The sample 2 (Group 2), of size n2=355 has a proportion of p2=0.037.

p_2=X_2/n_2=13/355=0.037

The difference between proportions is (p1-p2)=0.088.

p_d=p_1-p_2=0.124-0.037=0.088

The pooled proportion, needed to calculate the standard error, is:

p=\dfrac{X_1+X_2}{n_1+n_2}=\dfrac{18+13.135}{145+355}=\dfrac{31}{500}=0.062

The estimated standard error of the difference between means is computed using the formula:

s_{p1-p2}=\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n_1}+\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n_2}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{0.062*0.938}{145}+\dfrac{0.062*0.938}{355}}\\\\\\s_{p1-p2}=\sqrt{0+0}=\sqrt{0.001}=0.024

Then, we can calculate the z-statistic as:

z=\dfrac{p_d-(\pi_1-\pi_2)}{s_{p1-p2}}=\dfrac{0.088-0}{0.024}=\dfrac{0.088}{0.024}=3.68

This test is a right-tailed test, so the P-value for this test is calculated as (using a z-table):

\text{P-value}=P(z>3.68)=0.00013

As the P-value (0.00013) is smaller than the significance level (0.05), the effect is significant.

The null hypothesis is rejected.

There is enough evidence to support the claim that the proportion of individuals who caught pertussis and were not up to date on their booster shot is higher than those that were.

How to convert To prepare for a bake-off, Louise used 0.61 kilogram of flour each day for 3 weeks. How many grams did Louise use
Ronch [10]

Given:

Louise used 0.61 kilogram of flour each day for 3 weeks.

To find:

How many grams did Louise use in those 3 weeks?

Solution:

We know that,

1 kg = 1000 g

Flour used by Louise each day for 3 weeks = 0.61 kg

1 week = 7 days

3 week = 21 days

Flour used by Louise for 3 weeks (21 days) = (21 × 0.61) kg

                                                                        = 12.81 kg

                                                                        = (12.81 × 1000)    [ 1 kg = 1000 g]

                                                                        = 12810 g

Therefore, flour used by Louise for those 3 weeks is 12,810 grams.

The probability of an event happening is 23%. What is the complement of the event?
solong [7]

Answer:The probability of the complement of an event is one minus the probability of the event. Since the sum of probabilities of all possible events equals 1, the probability that event A will not occur is equal to 1 minus the probability that event A will occur.

Step-by-step explanation:Complement of an Event: All outcomes that are NOT the event. So the Complement of an event is all the other outcomes (not the ones we want). And together the Event and its Complement make all possible outcomes.

Based on histogram above what is the average number of hours worked by 20 salesperson in company G
kiruha [24]

Answer:

Average = 38

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The attached histogram

Required

The average work hours by 20 salespeople

First, we get the total hours worked as follows:

Hours = 3 * 30 + 5 * 34 + 9 * 40 + 2 * 45 + 1 * 50

Hours = 760

Divide by number of salespeople

Average = Hours/n

Average = 760/20

Average = 38
