The National Transportation Safety Board publishes statistics on the number of automobile crashes that people in various age gro

ups have. A researcher claims the population proportion of young drivers, ages 18 – 24, having accidents is greater than 12%. Her study examined 1000 young drivers ages 18 – 24 and found that 134 had an accident this year. Test at α = .05. a) State H0 and Ha b) Find the critical value, show work c) Find the appropriate test statistic, show work d) Do a P - value test e) Make a decision to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis and interpret the results.

Answer:

a) Null hypothesis:p\leq 0.12  

Alternative hypothesis:p > 0.12  

b) z_{\alpha}=1.64

c) z=\frac{0.134 -0.12}{\sqrt{\frac{0.12(1-0.12)}{1000}}}=1.362  

d) p_v =P(z>1.362)=0.0866  

e) For this case since the statistic is lower than the critical value and the p value higher than the significance level we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis so then we don't have information to conclude that the true proportion is higher than 0.12

Step-by-step explanation:

Information given

n=1000 represent the random sample selected

X=134 represent the number of young drivers ages 18 – 24 that had an accident

\hat p=\frac{134}{1000}=0.134 estimated proportion of young drivers ages 18 – 24 that had an accident

p_o=0.12 is the value that we want to verify

\alpha=0.05 represent the significance level

Confidence=95% or 0.95

z would represent the statistic

p_v{/tex} represent the p valuePart aWe want to verify if the population proportion of young drivers, ages 18 – 24, having accidents is greater than 12%:  Null hypothesis:[tex]p\leq 0.12  

Alternative hypothesis:p > 0.12  

The statistic would be given by:

z=\frac{\hat p -p_o}{\sqrt{\frac{p_o (1-p_o)}{n}}} (1)  

Part b

For this case since we are conducting a right tailed test we need to find a critical value in the normal standard distribution who accumulates 0.05 of the area in the right and we got:

z_{\alpha}=1.64

Part c

For this case the statistic would be given by:

z=\frac{0.134 -0.12}{\sqrt{\frac{0.12(1-0.12)}{1000}}}=1.362  

Part d

The p value can be calculated with the following probability:

p_v =P(z>1.362)=0.0866  

Part e

For this case since the statistic is lower than the critical value and the p value higher than the significance level we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis so then we don't have information to conclude that the true proportion is higher than 0.12

Lisa is earning 7.50 dollars per hour she worked for 33 hours last week. how much money did she earn?
never [62]

Answer:

Lisa earned $247.50 for working 33 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

WAY 1: proportional reasoning

7.50 x

------ = ----

1 h 33h

33 / 1 = 33

7.50 x 33 = 247.5

WAY 2: unit rate reasoning

7.50 per hour so x value of money for 33 h

7.50 x 33 = 247.5

Estimate the value of 96.8×9.74
irina [24]

Answer: Estimate : 1000    Exact : 942.83

Step-by-step explanation:

The estimate is 1000 because 96.8 is rounded to 100 and 9.74 is rounded to 10, so 100 times 10 is 1000. If you wanted the exact, then the exact is 942.83200, If you simplify this total, then the final answer is 942.83.
