A gambler claims that horses in a horse race that start closer to the rail have an advantage over horses that start further from

the rail because the horses closer to the rail have a shorter distance to travel to win the race. In a sample of 120 races, the following data show the number of winners from each starting position. If the starting position is not a factor then each starting position should have produced 20 winners.
Starting position: 1 2 3 4 5 6
# of Winners: 25 22 18 19 21 15
Test the hypothesis at the 5% level of significance to see if starting position is a factor.

Answer:

Hence, the p-value ( 0.699986) > 0.05,  FAIL TO REJECT THE NULL HYPOTHESIS

there is no significant evidence that starting position is a factor in horse races

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Starting position:     1     2     3     4     5     6

# of Winners:         25   22   18   19    21   15

Mean x" (E) = (25+22+18+19+21+15)/6 = 120/6 = 20

Observed/Expected value table;

O       E            ((O-E)²) / E

25    20            1.25

22    20            0.2

18     20            0.2

19     20           0.05

21     20           0.05

15     20           1.25

∑                         3

so using chi square = ∑(((O-E)²) / E) = 3

DF = n-1 = 6-1 = 5

then, the critical chi square value is;

significance level = 0.05

chi square( critical ) = 11.07049769

from table;

p - value = 0.699986

Hence, the p-value ( 0.699986) > 0.05,  FAIL TO REJECT THE NULL HYPOTHESIS

there is no significant evidence that starting position is a factor in horse races

I need help with this V-4=v+2+7v-42 ??
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

\boxed{\bold{v \ = \ \frac{36}{7}}}

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract v from both sides

\bold{v-4-v=v+2+7v-42-v}

Simplify

\bold{-4=2+7v-42}

Switch sides

\bold{2+7v-42=-4}

Group like terms

\bold{7v+2-42=-4}

Subtract the numbers: 2 - 42 = -40

\bold{7v-40=-4}

Add 40 to both sides

\bold{7v-40+40=-4+40}

Simplify

\bold{7v=36}

Divide both sides by 7

\bold{\frac{7v}{7}=\frac{36}{7}}

Simplify

➤ \bold{v=\frac{36}{7}}

sveta [45]
\dfrac{\$18.45}{n \text { gallon}}  =  \dfrac{\$3.60}{7.5 \text { gallon}}

Cross multiply
n \times \  3.60 = 7.5 \times \  18.45

Combine like terms
3.60n = 138.375

Find n
n = 138.375\div 360

Answer
n = 0.38 \text { (nearest hundredth)}
