Crash Hospital Costs. A study was conducts to estimate hospital costs for accident victims who wore seat belts. Twenty randomly

kvv77 [185]

Answer:

a) The 99% confidence interval would be given by (5004.168;12603.832)

b) For this case we can use the lower bound for the confidence interval as estimation, on this case 5004.168. But we need to take in count that this value it's with 99% of confidence and 1% of significance and 1% of probability to commit type Error I

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

$\bar X =9004$ represent the sample mean for the sample

$\mu$ population mean (variable of interest)

s=5629 represent the sample standard deviation

n=20 represent the sample size

2) Part a

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

$\bar X \pm t_{\alpha/2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}$ (1)

In order to calculate the critical value $t_{\alpha/2}$ we need to find first the degrees of freedom, given by:

$df=n-1=20-1=19$

Since the Confidence is 0.99 or 99%, the value of $\alpha=0.01$ and $\alpha/2 =0.005$ , and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-T.INV(0.005,19)".And we see that $t_{\alpha/2}=2.86$

Now we have everything in order to replace into formula (1):

$9004-2.86\frac{5629}{\sqrt{20}}=5004.168$

$9004+2.86\frac{5629}{\sqrt{20}}=12603.832$

So on this case the 99% confidence interval would be given by (5004.168;12603.832)

3) Part b

For this case we can use the lower bound for the confidence interval as estimation, on this case 5004.168. But we need to take in count that this value it's with 99% of confidence and 1% of significance and 1% of probability to commit type Error I

If you place a 17-foot ladder against the top of a 8-foot building, how many feet will the bottom of the ladder be from the bott

Goshia [24]

Answer:

15 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem involves using the Pythagorean theorem, since the figure made with the ladder, building, and ground would make a right triangle. You are given the values 17ft and 8ft, which is enough to plug into the Pythagorean theorem.

The ladder, 17ft, would be the longest side (hypotenuse). The 8ft building would be one of the legs of the right triangle.

1. Plug your given values correctly into the Pythagorean Theorem.

$a^{2} + b^{2} = c^{2}$

$8^{2} + b^{2} = 17^{2}$

2. Now solve for b, which is your unknown distance (the distance the bottom of the ladder is from the bottom of the building).

$8^{2} + b^{2} = 17^{2}$ --> Square 8 and 17

$64 + b^{2} = 289$ --> Subtract 64 from both sides

$b^{2} = 225$ --> Square root both sides to get b by itself

b = 15

3. The distance is 15 feet

*Note: to make solving this problem easier, try drawing out the given situation, namely the building and the ladder

The nutrition facts label on a container of dry roasted cashews indicates there are 161 calories in 28 grams. You eat 9 cashews

kati45 [8]

Divide calories by grams so 161 / 28= 5.75 now you know 1 gram has 5.75 calories so you multiply 5.75 * 12 to get 69. so 12 grams of cashews = 69 calories

According to the 2010 Census, 13% of all housing units in the United States were vacant. A Vigo County supervisor wonders if her

AysviL [449]

The conclusion is that there is sufficient evidence to support the claim that the percentage of vacant housing units in their district differs from the percentage of vacant housing units in the country.

Given that the total number of a housing units in her country is 550 and the number of vacant housing units in her country is 130.

The Null hypothesis is p₀=13%=0.13, n=550 and x=130

Significance level α=0.05

Claims given: percentage other than 13%

The claim is anyone of the null hypothesis or the alternative hypothesis. The null hypothesis shows that the proportion of the population is equal to the value stated in the claim. If the null hypothesis is a claim, then the alternative hypothesis states the opposite of the null hypothesis.

H₀:p=13%=0.13

Hₐ:p/0.13

I'm interested in testing population proportion claims, so I'll use z-text with proportions.

Conditions: Random sample, 10% condition, pass / fail condition

Sample: I'm happy because the housing units were randomly selected. 10% Condition: We are happy because the sample of 550 homes in your county is less than 10% of the population.

Pass/ fail condition: Satisfied because both np₀ and n(1-p₀) are both at least 10.

np₀=550(0.13)=71.5≥10

n(1-p₀)=550(1-0.13)=478.5≥10

Therefore, we conclude that all the conditions are met.

The sample percentage is the number of successes divided by the sample size.

$\begin{aligned}\hat{p}&=\frac{x}{n}\\ &=\frac{130}{550}\\ &\approx 0.2364\end$

Determines the value of the test statistic:

$\begin{aligned}z&=\frac{\hat{p}-p_0}{\sqrt{\frac{p_0(1-p_0)}{n}}} \\ &=\frac{0.2364-0.13}{\sqrt{\frac{0.13(1-0.13)}{550}}}\\ &=\frac{0.1064}{0.0143}\\&\approx 7.41 \end$

The P-value is the probability of getting a test statistic value or a more extreme value if the null hypothesis is true. Use the normal probability table in the appendix to determine the P-value.

P=P(Z<−7.41 or Z>7.41)

P=2P(Z>7.41)

P=2(0)

P=0

If the P-value is less than the significance level α, the null hypothesis is rejected.

P<0.05⇒ Reject H₀

Therefore, there is ample evidence to support the claim that the proportion of vacant homes in the area is different from the proportion of vacant homes in the country.
