A newspaper published an article about a study in which researchers subjected laboratory gloves to stress. Among 215 vinyl glov

pickupchik [31]

Answer:

$z=\frac{0.7-0.07}{\sqrt{0.385(1-0.385)(\frac{1}{215}+\frac{1}{215})}}=13.42$

$p_v =P(Z>13.42)\approx 0$

So the p value is a very low value and using any significance level given $\alpha=0.01$ we se that $p_v$ so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and we can conclude that vinyl gloves have a greater virus leak rate than latex gloves at 1% of significance.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation

$n_{V}=215$ sample of vinyl gloves selected

$n_{L}=215$ sample of latex gloves selected

$p_{V}=0.7$ represent the proportion of vynil gloves with leaked viruses

$p_{L}=0.07$ represent the proportion of latex gloves with leaked viruses

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

$p_v$ represent the value for the test (variable of interest)

Concepts and formulas to use

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the vinyl gloves have a greater virus leak rate than latex gloves , the system of hypothesis would be:

Null hypothesis: $p_{V} \leq p_{L}$

Alternative hypothesis: $p_{V} > \mu_{L}$

We need to apply a z test to compare proportions, and the statistic is given by:

$z=\frac{p_{V}-p_{L}}{\sqrt{\hat p (1-\hat p)(\frac{1}{n_{V}}+\frac{1}{n_{L}})}}$ (1)

Where $\hat p=\frac{X_{V}+X_{L}}{n_{V}+n_{L}}=\frac{0.7+0.07}{2}=0.385$

Calculate the statistic

Replacing in formula (1) the values obtained we got this:

$z=\frac{0.7-0.07}{\sqrt{0.385(1-0.385)(\frac{1}{215}+\frac{1}{215})}}=13.42$

Statistical decision

Since is a one right tailed test the p value would be:

$p_v =P(Z>13.42)\approx 0$

So the p value is a very low value and using any significance level given $\alpha=0.01$ we se that $p_v$ so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and we can conclude that vinyl gloves have a greater virus leak rate than latex gloves at 1% of significance.

The width of a rectangle is 3 units less than the length. The area of the rectangle is 28 units. What is the width, in units, of

KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the width W and the length L.

We know the width is 3 less than the length, so:

W = L - 3

And we know the area is 28, so:

28 = WL

If we solve for L in the first equation:

L = W + 3

And substitute into the second equation:

28 = W (W + 3)

28 = W² + 3W

0 = W² + 3W - 28

0 = (W + 7) (W - 4)

W = -7, 4

Since W can't be negative, W = 4 units.

What is the average rate of change for the function f(x)=3x^2 -5 on the interval −3 ≤ x ≤ −1 ?

Anestetic [448]

Answer:

-12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let b = -1 and a = -3

The average rate of change = $\frac{f(b) - f(a)}{b - a}$

f(b) = f(-1) = 3(-1)^2 - 5 = 3 - 5 = -2

f(a) = f(-3) = 3(-3)^2 - 5 =27 - 5 = 22

f(b) - f(a) = -2 - 22 = -24

b - a = -1 + 3 = 2

$\frac{f(b) - f(a)}{b - a}$ = -24/2 = -12
