Nationwide, it is estimated that 40% of service stations have gas tanks that leak to some extent. A new program in California is

designed to lessen the prevalence of these leaks. We want to assess the effectiveness of the program by seeing if the percentage of service stations whose tanks leak has decreased. To do this, we randomly sample 27 service stations in California and determine whether there is any evidence of leakage. In our sample, only 7 of the stations exhibit any leakage. Is there evidence that the new program is effective

Answer:

Since the calculated value of z= -1.496 does not fall in the critical region z < -1.645 we conclude that the new program is effective. We fail to reject the null hypothesis .

Step-by-step explanation:

The sample proportion is p2= 7/27= 0.259

and q2= 0.74

The sample size = n= 27

The population proportion = p1= 0.4

q1= 0.6

We formulate the null and alternate hypotheses that the new program is effective

H0: p2> p1   vs  Ha: p2 ≤ p1

The test statistic is

z= p2- p1/√ p1q1/n

z= 0.259-0.4/ √0.4*0.6/27

z=  -0.141/0.09428

z= -1.496

The significance level ∝ is 0.05

The critical region for one tailed test is z ≤ ± 1.645

Since the calculated value of z= -1.496 does not fall in the critical region z < -1.645 we conclude that the new program is effective. We fail to reject the null hypothesis .

Please help me with this problem
Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

Dasha has 52 roses

Step-by-step explanation:

Rewrite the first sentence in an equation: (D= Dasha) (A= Anna)

D=4A

Rewrite the second sentence in an equation:

A+39=D

1) Substitute A+39 as D in the first equation:

A+39=4A

2) Subtract A from both sides:

3A=39

3) Divide both sides by 3:

A=13

4) Now substitute 13 as A in the second equation:

13+39=D

5) Solve:

D=52

A surgical procedure requires choosing among four alternative methodologies. The first can result in five possible outcomes, the
Illusion [34]

Answer:

15 possible outcomes

Step-by-step explanation:

Since each one of these methodologies are not related to one another and they do not need to be chosen in any order or consecutively then the possible outcomes would only need to be added all together to calculate the total possible outcomes. Since each outcome is independent. Therefore,

m1 = 5 outcomes

m2 = 2 outcomes

m3 = 4 outcomes

m4 = 4 outcomes

5 + 2 + 4 + 4 = 15

we can see that there are a total of 15 possible outcomes

Bobby read a total of 20 books over 2 months. If Bobby has read 90 books so far, how many months has he been with his book club?
tatuchka [14]

Step 1

From the question;

\begin{gathered} Bobby\text{ reads 20 books in 2 months} \\  \end{gathered}

We are required to find how many months it will take him to read 90 books

Step 2

We will use the ratio below to solve the problem.

\begin{gathered} \frac{20\text{ books}}{90\text{ books}}=\frac{2months}{x} \\ x=months\text{ to read 90books} \\ x=\frac{90\times2}{20} \\ x=9\text{ months} \end{gathered}

Answer; It will take Bobby 9months to read 90 booj

9\text{ months}
