The proportions of blood types O, A, B, and AB in the general population of a particular country are known to be in the ratio 49

:38:9:4, respectively. A research team, investigating a small isolated community in the country, obtained the following frequencies (i.e. observed number of cases) of blood type.
Blood type O A B AB
Frequency 87 59 20 4
Test the hypothesis that the proportions in this community do not differ significantly from those in the general population.

Answer:

The proportions differ significantly from those in the general population.

Step-by-step explanation:

We state our null and alternative hypotheses as

H0: p1= 49/100, p2= 38/100, p3= 9/100 and p4= 4/100 for a multinomial distribution involving four categories and n= 170

against

Ha: pi≠ pi0 for at least one value of i= 1,2,3,4

The significance level is set at ∝= 0.05

The test statistic under H0 is

χ² = ∑ (Oi- ei)²/ei

which has approximate chi square distribution with 3d.f  (n-1)

Computations: Under H0 the expected frequencies are

np10= Blood type O = 170 * 49/100= 83.3

np20 = Blood type A = 170 * 38/100= 64.6

np30 = Blood type B = 170 * 20/100= 11.76

np40 = Blood type AB = 170 * 4/100= 2.35

The value of χ² is computed as follows

Cell       Observed         Estimated        (Oi-ei)            (Oi-ei)²   (Oi-ei)²/ei

             Frequency      Frequency  

               Oi                    ei

1             87                        83.3               3.7               13.69        0.157

2            59                      64.6              -5.6                 31.36       0.531

3             20                     34                  -14                   196           9.8

<u>4               4                      6.8                -2.8                  7.84         1.96       </u>

<u>∑             170                    188.7                                                  χ²= 12.43  </u>

<u />

The critical region is <u>χ</u>²≥ χ²(0.05,3) = 7.82 for alpha = 0.05 and

<u>χ</u>²≥ χ²(0.01,3) = 11.34  for alpha = 0.01

As the calculated value lies in the critical region for both value of alpha we reject our null hypothesis and accept our alternate hypothesis. The proportions differ significantly from those in the general population.

Is 17.8 = 18.8 reasonable explain.
yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

No.

Step-by-step explanation:

For there to be a equal sign, it will mean that both sides will have to have the same exact amount. If it is expressions on both sides, then the expressions must, when combined, equal to each other.

In this case, there is not given operation that will allow for both numbers to equal each other, and 17.8 is 10 less than 18.8, therefore it is not reasonable.

17.8 ≠ 18.8

Simone runs the 100m in 12 seconds.Hanno covers 2.5 km in 4minutes with his bicycle who moves fastest?​
Ronch [10]

Answer:

Hanno moves faster than Simone.

Step-by-step explanation:

Simone: 25x100=2500m or 2.5km in 25x12=300 seconds or 5 minutes

Hanno- 2.5 km in 4minutes

So, Hanno moves 1 minute faster.

Please mark as brainliest.
