Medical tests were conducted to learn about drug-resistant tuberculosis. Of 142 cases tested in New Jersey, 9 were found to be d

rug-resistant. Of 268 cases tested in Texas, 5 were found to be drug-resistant. Do these data suggest a statistically significant difference between the proportions of drug-resistant cases in the two states? Use a .02 level of significance. What is the p-value, and what is your conclusion?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

<u>Sample 1 </u>(New Jersey)

n₁= 142

x₁= 9

^ρ₁=9/142=0.063

<u>Sample 2</u> (Texas)

n₂= 268

x₂= 5

^ρ₂= 5/268 = 0.0186 ≅ 0.019

Since what you need to test is if there is a significant difference between the proportions of drug-resistant cases in both states, the hypothesis are:

H₀: ρ₁-ρ₂=0

H₁: ρ₁-ρ₂≠0

α:0.20

The equation of the statistic is:

Z=<u> (^ρ₁-^ρ₂)-(^ρ₁-^ρ₂) </u>

 √(^ρ(1-ρ)(1/n₁+1/n₂))

Where ^ρ=<u> x₁+x₂ </u>

                  n₁+n₂

The calculated statistic is Z=2.2804

and the p-value= 0.0226

Since the p-value is less than the level of signification, you can reject the null hypothesis. This means that there is enough evidence to conclude that there is a significant difference between the proportion of drug-resistant tuberculosis in both states.

You have torn a tendon and are facing surgery to repair it. the surgeon explains the risks to you: the probability of infection
skad [1K]
P(most favorable outcome) = 1 -(0.03 +0.16 -0.01) = 0.82

_____
"repair fails" includes the "infection and failure" case, as does "infection". By adding the probability of "repair fails" and "infection", we count the "infection and failure" case twice. So, we have to subtract the probability of "infection and failure" from the sum of "repaire fails" and "infection" in order to count each bad outcome only once.

The probability of a good outcome is the complement of the probability of a bad outcome.

Match each scenario involving projectile motion with the equation that describes the height of the object at time t. Tiles h = -
olga55 [171]

Answer:

  1. h = -16t^2 + 73t + 5
  2. h = -16t^2 + 5
  3. h = -4.9t^2 + 73t + 1.5
  4. h = -4.9t^2 + 1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The general equation we use for ballistic motion is ...

  h(t)=\frac{1}{2}gt^2+v_0t+h_0

where g is the acceleration due to gravity, v₀ is the initial upward velocity, and h₀ is the initial height.

The values of g commonly used are -32 ft/s², or -4.9 m/s². Units are consistent when the former is used with velocity in ft/s and height in feet. The latter is used when velocity is in m/s, and height is in meters.

_____

Dwayne throws a ball with an initial velocity of 73 feet/second. Dwayne holds the ball 5 feet off the ground before throwing it. (h = -16t^2 + 73t + 5)

A watermelon falls from a height of 5 feet to splatter on the ground below. (h = -16t^2 + 5)

Marcella shoots a foam dart at a target. She holds the dart gun 1.5 meters off the ground before firing. The dart leaves the gun traveling 73 meters/second. (h = -4.9t^2 + 73t + 1.5)

Greg drops a life raft off the side of a boat 1.5 meters above the water. (h = -4.9t^2 + 1.5)

_____

<em>Additional comment on these scenarios</em>

The dart and ball are described as being launched at 73 units per second. Generally, we expect launches of these kinds of objects to have a significant horizontal component. However, these equations are only for <em>vertical</em> motion, so we must assume the launches are <em>straight up</em> (or that the up-directed component of motion is 73 units/second).
