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.

julsineya [31]

Answer:

13

Step-by-step explanation:

If he reads 119 pgs in 7 days that mean 119/7 = 17 he reads 17 pgs per day

next 340-119 = 221 then 221/17= 13

Find last year’s salary if, after a 3% pay raise, this year’s salary is $32,960.
belka [17]

Answer:

$32000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let last years salary was $x

Therefore,

x + 3% of x = $32960

x + 0.03x = $32960

1.03x=$32960

x = 32960/1.03

x = $32,000

So, last year's salary was $32000.

4. In one semester, Doug and Laura spent a combined 230 hours in the tutoring lab. If Doug
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

80 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

let d represent doug, let l represent laura

first, set up a system of equations representing the problem:

since doug spent 10 less than twice the hours laura did, and we know that the total amount of hours they spent together is 230:

l=2d+10

d+l=230

then solve:

*first i rearranged the equations so i can solve this system of equations using elimination method*

l-2d=10

l+d=230

*subtract*

3d=240

d=80

so, doug spent 80 hours in the lab

When ABC was dialed by a scale factor of 2, centered at the origin, the result was its image A'B'C' shown on the coordinates pla
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In dilation, the image and the original are similar, in that they are the same shape but not necessarily the same size. They are not congruent because that requires them to be the same shape and the same size, which they are not (scale factor is 2)

vertices of ABC are A(-2,2), B(-2,3), and C(1,2)

If we multiply by 2 from original to image,

then from image to original we divide by 2
