wheelchair ramps are required to adhere to a slope of 1:12, for every 1 inch of rise, the horizontal run must be 12 inches. The

vertical distance from the ground to the platform is 1 1/2 feet. What will the distance x in feet need to be to meet the guidelines?

Answer:

Maximum slope for hand-propelled wheelchair ramps should be 1" of rise to every 12" of length (4.8 degree angle; 8.3% grade). Maximum slope for power chairs should be 1.5" rise to 12" length (7.1 degree angle; 12.5% grade)

I hope this will help you

The Salk polio vaccine experiment in 1954 focused on the effectiveness of the vaccine in combating paralytic polio. Because it w
sdas [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

The variables of interest are:

X₁: Number of cases of polio observed in kids that received the placebo vaccine.

n₁= 201299 total children studied

x₁= 110 cases observed

X₂: Number of cases of polio observed in kids that received the experimental vaccine.

n₂= 200745 total children studied

x₂= 33 cases observed

These two variables have a binomial distribution. The parameters of interest, the ones to compare, are the population proportions: p₁ vs p₂

You have to test if the population proportions of children who contracted polio in both groups are different: p₂ ≠ p₁

a)

H₀: p₂ = p₁

H₁: p₂ ≠ p₁

α: 0.05

Z= \frac{(p'_2-p'_1)-(p_2-p_1)}{\sqrt{p'[\frac{1}{n_1} +\frac{1}{n_2} ]} }

Sample proportion placebo p'₁= x₁/n₁= 110/201299= 0.0005

Sample proportion vaccine p'₂= x₂/n₂= 33/200745= 0.0002

Pooled sample proportion p'= (x₁+x₂)/(n₁+n₂)= (110+33)/(201299+200745)= 0.0004

Z_{H_0}= \frac{(0.0002-0.0005)-0}{\sqrt{0.0004[\frac{1}{201299} +\frac{1}{200745} ]} }= -4.76

This test is two-tailed, using the critical value approach, you have to determine two critical values:

Z_{\alpha/2}= Z_{0.025}= -1.96

Z_{1-\alpha /2}= Z_{0.975}= 1.96

Then if Z_{H_0} ≤ -1.96 or if Z_{H_0} ≥ 1.96, the decision is to reject the null hypothesis.

If -1.96 < Z_{H_0} < 1.96, the decision is to not reject the null hypothesis.

⇒ Z_{H_0}= -4.76, the decision is to reject the null hypothesis.

b)

H₀: p₂ = p₁

H₁: p₂ ≠ p₁

α: 0.01

Z= \frac{(p'_2-p'_1)-(p_2-p_1)}{\sqrt{p'[\frac{1}{n_1} +\frac{1}{n_2} ]} }

The value of Z_{H_0}= -4.76 doesn't change, since we are working with the same samples.

The only thing that changes alongside with the level of significance is the rejection region:

Z_{\alpha /2}= Z_{0.005}= -2.576

Z_{1-\alpha /2}= Z_{0.995}= 2.576

Then if Z_{H_0} ≤ -2.576or if Z_{H_0} ≥ 2.576, the decision is to reject the null hypothesis.

If -2.576< Z_{H_0} < 2.576, the decision is to not reject the null hypothesis.

⇒ Z_{H_0}= -4.76, the decision is to reject the null hypothesis.

c)

Remember the level of significance (probability of committing type I error) is the probability of rejecting a true null hypothesis. This means that the smaller this value is, the fewer chances you have of discarding the true null hypothesis. But as you know, you cannot just reduce this value to zero because, the smaller α is, the bigger β (probability of committing type II error) becomes.

Rejecting the null hypothesis using different values of α means that there is a high chance that you reached a correct decision (rejecting a false null hypothesis)

I hope this helps!

Which of the following functions has a period of 8 π ?
KengaRu [80]
<h3>Answer: Choice B</h3>

Explanation:

The general template of a sine function is

y = Asin(B(x-C))+D

The value of B is the only thing that determines the period T. We ignore every other term.

It turns out that T = 2pi/B which can be solved to B = 2pi/T

Plug in the given period of T = 8pi and compute to get

B = 2pi/T

B = (2pi)/(8pi)

B = 2/8

B = 1/4

This means that the term out front of the x is 1/4 and the equation must be y = \sin\left(\frac{1}{4}x\right) which matches with answer choice B.
