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.

Leto [7]

Answer:

After 2 months

Step-by-step explanation:

Isabelle has $1520 in her bank account and she makes automatic $760 monthly payments on a home loan.

If she stops making deposits to that account, then a monthly $760 will be deducted from her account.  

After 1 month the balance in her account will become $[ 1520 - 760 ] = $760 and then after 2 months the balance will become $[ 760 - 760 ] = $0

Therefore, after 2 months her account will have zero balance. (Answer)

Which linear inequality is represented by the graph?
aalyn [17]

Answer:

y ≤ 1/3 x - 1.3.

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the equation of the line:

The slope = (-0.3 - (-1.3) / (3 - 0).

= 1/3 so the equation is y = 1/3x + b where b is a constant.

b is the y-intercept which is the value of y when x  = 0 . We see that it is -1.3 ( from the point 0, -1.3).

Since the line is continuous and the shading is below this line the inequality sign is 'less than or equal to',  ≤.

A computer manufacturing company has sent a mail survey to 2,800 of its randomly selected customers that have purchased a new la
vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

The 96% confidence interval for the population proportion of customers satisfied with their new computer is (0.77, 0.83).

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to calculate a 96% confidence interval for the proportion.

We consider the sample size to be the customers that responded the survey (n=800), as we can not assume the answer for the ones that did not answer.

The sample proportion is p=0.8.

p=X/n=640/800=0.8

The standard error of the proportion is:

\sigma_p=\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{0.8*0.2}{800}}\\\\\\ \sigma_p=\sqrt{0.0002}=0.014

The critical z-value for a 96% confidence interval is z=2.054.

The margin of error (MOE) can be calculated as:

MOE=z\cdot \sigma_p=2.054 \cdot 0.014=0.03

Then, the lower and upper bounds of the confidence interval are:

LL=p-z \cdot \sigma_p = 0.8-0.03=0.77\\\\UL=p+z \cdot \sigma_p = 0.8+0.03=0.83

The 96% confidence interval for the population proportion is (0.77, 0.83).

Determine the volume of the parallelepiped with one vertex at the origin and the three vertices adjacent to it at (2, â1, â1), (
valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

23

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is the complete question

Find the volume of the parallelepiped with one vertex at the origin and adjacent vertices at (1, 0, -3), (1, 2, 4), and (5, 1, 0).

Solution

We find the volume of the parallelepiped by making a 3 × 3 column matrix whose columns are the corresponding coordinates of the vertices of the parallelepiped.

So, (1, 0, -3), (1, 2, 4)  and (5, 1, 0)

A = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1&5\\0&2&1\\-3&4&0\end{array}\right]

The determinant of A is the volume of the parallelepiped. So,

detA = 1(2 × 0 - 4 × 1) - 1(0 × 0 - (-3) × 1) + 5(0 × 4 - (-3) × 2)

= 1(0 - 4) - 1(0 + 3) + 5(0 + 6)

= 1(-4) - 1(3) + 5(6)

= -4 - 3 + 30

= 23

So the volume of the parallelepiped is 23
