Suppose that each observation in a random sample of 100 fatal bicycle accidents in 2015 was classified according to the day of t

he week on which the accident occurred. Data consistent with information on the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety are given in the following table.
Day of the Week Frequency
Sunday 16
Monday 12
Tuesday 12
Wednesday 13
Thursday 14
Friday 15
Saturday 18
a. Based on these data, is it reasonable to conclude that the proportion of fatal bicycle accidents in 2015 was not the same for all days of the week? Use a significance level of 0.05.
b. Write interpretation

Answer:

The calculated χ² =  0.57   does not fall in the critical region χ² ≥  12.59  so we fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude the proportion of fatal bicycle accidents in 2015 was the same for all days of the week.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) We set up our null and alternative hypothesis as

H0:  proportion of fatal bicycle accidents in 2015 was the same for all days of the week

against the claim

Ha:  proportion of fatal bicycle accidents in 2015 was not the same for all days of the week

2) the significance level alpha is set at 0.05

3) the test statistic under H0 is

χ²= ∑ (ni - npi)²/ npi

which has an approximate chi square distribution with ( n-1)=7-1=  6 d.f

4) The critical region is χ² ≥ χ² (0.05)6 = 12.59

5) Calculations:

χ²= ∑ (16- 14.28)²/14.28 + (12- 14.28)²/14.28 + (12- 14.28)²/14.28 + (13- 14.28)²/14.28 + (14- 14.28)²/14.28 + (15- 14.28)²/14.28 + (18- 14.28)²/14.28

χ²= 1/14.28 [ 2.938+ 5.1984 +5.1984+1.6384+0.0784 +1.6384+13.84]

χ²= 1/14.28[8.1364]

χ²= 0.569= 0.57

6) Conclusion:

The calculated χ² =  0.57   does not fall in the critical region χ² ≥  12.59  so we fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude the proportion of fatal bicycle accidents in 2015 was the same for all days of the week.

b.<u> It is r</u>easonable to conclude that the proportion of fatal bicycle accidents in 2015 was the same for all days of the week

4x−3=16=4(x−3)=16 <br> Do they have the same solution?
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

no

Step-by-step explanation:

4x -3 = 16

x=19/4

4(x-3) = 16: Distribute the number in the parenthesis with 4 and you get:

4x-12=16

x=7

4x-12=16 is not the same as 4x-3=16

Therefore they do not have the same solution.

The wolfpack has one 11 games and lost 9 games this season. what percent of its games did the wolfpack win?
Murrr4er [49]
In fractions they had won 11/20 games. Then if you convert the fraction to a percent you would get 55% after multipling by 5/5 to get the denominator of 100.

The answer would be 55%.

A marine biologist is studying the growth of a particular species of fish. She writes the following equation to show the length
inn [45]

Answer:

The original function is f(m) = 5(1.07)^m, with the m as an exponent

part A) if the final length is 9.19, we can set f(m) = 9.19 and solve for m

plugging it into a calculator, I get m = ~8.99, so a bit less than 9. therefore, a reasonable domain might be all the m values 9 or below, or m ≤ 9

part B) the y-intercept of a function is the value of the independent variable when the dependent variable = 0. the two variables in your problem are height and number of months - which one do you think is the independent one, and which one is dependent? then re-interpret "value of the independent variable when the dependent variable = 0" in terms of the actual quantities that the variables represent

part C) average rate of change from m = 1 to m = 9

f(9)−f(1)9−1

evaluate, and think about what that represents in terms of height and number of months

Convert 35% into a decimal and a fraction. Show/explain your strategy.
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

Below.

Step-by-step explanation:

35% as a decimal can be written as 0.35. Because it is 0.35 out of 1.00 or 0.35%.

As a fraction, you could write it as 35/100 because its 0.35 or 35/100
