Suppose the large number of auto accidents in a small town results in new legislation that requires all citizens of the town to

install new anti-lock brakes on their cars. These new brakes cut the time it takes a car to stop by 50%, allowing drivers to avoid collisions with other cars and pedestrians more easily.
The new brakes _______________ the probability that a vehicle will collide with another vehicle but also give drivers an incentive to drive more _____________, which could potentially ______________ the number of car accidents.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The new brakes decrease the probability that a vehicle will collide with another vehicle. Because the anti-lock brakes cut the time it takes a car to stop by 50%, then total collision will be reduced.

But also give drivers an incentive to drive faster, which could potentially increase the number of car accidents.

Because drivers know that the new brakes cut the time it takes to stop and if they drive faster than before, maybe the new brakes won´t be able to reduce accidents and maybe collisions will increase.

vova2212 [387]

Answer:

The margin of error for the 99% confidence level for this sample is ±2.23.

None of the given figures is close to the answer:

E. None of the above

Step-by-step explanation:

margin of error (ME) around the mean can be calculated using the formula

ME=\frac{z*s}{\sqrt{N} } where

  • z is the corresponding statistic of the 99% confidence level (2.576)
  • s is the population IQ standard deviation (15)
  • N is the sample size (300)

Using these numbers we get:

ME=\frac{2.576*15}{\sqrt{300} }  ≈ 2.23
