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 .

Step-by-step explanation:

A better way to word this is how much more is 4/9 than 2/9 which is 2/9 more because 2/9 plus 2/9 is 4/9 and the denominator stays the same

If segment FD = 20 units and segment DE = 52 units, what is the value of b? Round the solution to the nearest hundredth.
Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

b = 22.62^{o}

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangle is a right angled triangle, the appropriate trigonometric function can be applied to determine the value of b.

Thus, to determine the value of b;

Sin θ = \frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}

Sin b =  \frac{20}{52}

         =  \frac{20}{52}

          = 0.38462

⇒ b = Sin^{-1} 0.38462

  = 22.6202

b = 22.62^{o}

The measure of angle E (= b) is 22.62^{o}.

         =
