A recent estimate by a large distributor of gasoline claims that 60% of all cars stopping at their service stations chose unlead

ed gas and that super unleaded and regular were each selected 20% of the time. In order to check the validity of these proportions, a study was conducted of cars stopping at the distributor's service stations in a large city. The results were as follows:
Gasoline Selected
Regular Unleaded Super Unleaded
51 261 88
Carry out a significance test of the distributors claim

Answer:

We reject the null hypothesis and conclude that at least 2 proportions differ from the stated value.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 3 types of gas listed in the question.

Thus;

n = 3

DF = n - 1

DF = 3 - 1

DF = 2

Let's state the hypotheses;

Null hypothesis; H0: P_regular = P_super unleaded = 20%; P_i leaded = 60%

Alternative hypothesis; Ha: At least 2 proportions differ from the stated value.

Observed values are;

Regular gas; O = 51

Unleaded gas; O = 261

Super Unleaded; O = 88

Total observed values = 51 + 261 + 88 = 400

We are told that super unleaded and regular were each selected 20% of the time and that unleaded gas was chosen 60% of the time.

Thus, expected values are;

Regular gas; E = 20% × 400 = 80

Unleaded gas; E = 60% × 400 = 240

Super Unleaded; E = 20% × 400 = 80

Formula for chi Square goodness of fit is;

X² = Σ[(O - E)²/E]

X² = (51 - 80)²/80) + (261 - 240)²/240) + (88 - 80)²/80)

X² = 13.15

From the chi Square distribution table attached and using; DF = 2 and X² = 13.15, we can trace the p-value to be approximately 0.001

Also from online p-value from chi Square calculator attached, we have p to be approximately 0.001 which is similar to what we got from the table.

Now, if we take the significance level to be 0.05, it means the p-value is less than it and thus we reject the null hypothesis and conclude that at least 2 proportions differ from the stated value.

What is true about the function graphed below?
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

  D. The axis of symmetry is the y-axis.

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertex is at coordinates (0, 3). Since this parabola opens vertically, its axis of symmetry is the x=coordinate of the vertex: x = 0. That is the equation of the y-axis.

The axis of symmetry is the y-axis.

Help me to do this please
Tanzania [10]

If x represents the mass of 1 ball in kg, then the balance shows ...

... 6x = x + 9 kg

... 5x = 9 kg

Then 6x is ...

... (6/5)·5x = (6/5)·9 kg = 10.8 kg

0.8 kg = 0.8·1000 g = 800 g

so 10.8 kg is ...

... D. 10 kg 800 g

Please help asap :( This is my "Final grade" My Teacher wants a full explanation included ! on how i got the answer. )
Mrac [35]

If the whole diameter of sphere is 6 inch(means radius is 3 inch) & thickness of material is 1 inch, so the radius of the hollow part should be 2 inch (3-1=2)

The total volume of the ball will be;

= Total volume - Volume of hollow part

= 4/3πr³ - 4/3πr³

= 4/3 × 3.14 × (3)³ - 4/3×3.14×(2)³

= 4 × 3.14 × 9 - 4/3 × 3.14 × 8

= 113.04 - 33.52

= 79.52

If the density of the material is 3.25 g/in3, then the density of 79.52 inch³ should be;

= 79.52 × 3.25

= 258.44 g

Now, if there are 8 spheres in one box, the weight if box will be;

= 258.44 × 8

= 2,067.52 g

Ahh! Finally done with this, if you have any doubt just do ask me :)
