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

The measures of 5 of the Interior angles of a hexagon are: 115.125", 85", 150", and 170". What is the measure of the
levacccp [35]

The measure of the  largest exterior angle of hexagon is 105

<u>Solution:</u>

Given, The measures of 5 of the Interior angles of a hexagon are: 115.125", 85", 150", and 170".  

We have to find what is the measure of the largest exterior angle?  

Now let us find the 6th interior angle,  

We know that, sum of interior angles of hexagon = 720 degrees

115 + 125 + 85 + 150 + 170 + 6th angle = 720

645 + 6th angle = 720  

6th angle = 720 – 645  

6th angle = 75 degrees

Now we have to find the largest exterior angle, we know that, the complement of largest exterior angle will be smallest interior angle.

So, here smallest interior angle is 75  

sum of interior and exterior angle equals to 180

Hence interior angle + exterior angle =180

Then, 75 + exterior angle = 180  

Exterior angle = 180 – 75 = 105.  

Hence, exterior angle is 105 and 1st option is correct.
