A study was performed to determine the percentage of people who wear life vests while out on the water. A researcher believed that the percentage was different for those who rode jet skis compared to those who were in boats. Out of 500 randomly selected people who rode a jet ski, 85% wore life vests. Out of 250 randomly selected boaters, 90.4% wore life vests. Using a 0.05 level of significance, test the claim that the proportion of people who wear life vests while riding a jet ski is not the same as the proportion of people who wear life vests while riding in a boat. Let jet skiers be Population 1 and let boaters be Population 2. State the null and alternative hypotheses for the test.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The null hypothesis is [tex]H_0: p_1 - p_2 = 0[/tex]

The alternate hypothesis is [tex]H_a: p_1 - p_2 \neq 0[/tex]

The pvalue of the test is 0.03 < 0.05, which means that we have enough evidence to accept the alternative hypothesis that he proportion of people who wear life vests while riding a jet ski is not the same as the proportion of people who wear life vests while riding in a boat.

Step-by-step explanation:

Before testing the null hypothesis, we need to understand the Central Limit Theorem and subtraction of normal variables.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

For a proportion p in a sample of size n, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion will be approximately normal with mean [tex]\mu = p[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}[/tex]

Subtraction between normal variables:

When two normal variables are subtracted, the mean is the difference of the means, while the standard deviation is the square root of the sum of the variances.

Out of 500 randomly selected people who rode a jet ski, 85% wore life vests.

This means that [tex]p_1 = 0.85, s_1 = \sqrt{\frac{0.85*0.15}{500}} = 0.016[/tex]

Out of 250 randomly selected boaters, 90.4% wore life vests.

This means that [tex]p_2 = 0.904, s_2 = \sqrt{\frac{{0.904*0.096}{250}} = 0.019[/tex]

Test the claim that the proportion of people who wear life vests while riding a jet ski is not the same as the proportion of people who wear life vests while riding in a boat.

At the null hypothesis, we test that the proportions are the same, that is, the subtraction between them is zero. So

[tex]H_0: p_1 - p_2 = 0[/tex]

At the alternate hypothesis, we test that the proportions are different, that is, the subtraction between them is different of zero. So

[tex]H_a: p_1 - p_2 \neq 0[/tex]

The test statistic is:

[tex]z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]

In which X is the sample mean, [tex]\mu[/tex] is the value tested at the null hypothesis and s is the standard error.

0 is tested at the null hypothesis:

This means that [tex]\mu = 0[/tex]

From the two samples, we have that:

[tex]X = p_1 - p_2 = 0.85 - 0.904 = -0.054[/tex]

[tex]s = \sqrt{s_1^2+s_2^2} = \sqrt{0.016^2 + 0.019^2} = 0.0248[/tex]

Test statistic:

[tex]z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]

[tex]z = \frac{-0.054 - 0}{0.0248}[/tex]

[tex]z = -2.17[/tex]

Pvalue of the test and decision:

The pvalue of the test is the probability that the difference differs from 0 by at least 0.054, which is P(|Z| > 2.17), which is 2 multiplied by the pvalue of z = -2.17

Looking at the z-table, z = -2.17 has a pvalue of 0.015

2*0.015 = 0.03

The pvalue of the test is 0.03 < 0.05, which means that we have enough evidence to accept the alternative hypothesis that he proportion of people who wear life vests while riding a jet ski is not the same as the proportion of people who wear life vests while riding in a boat.

Answer:

a) section c

b) at a constant rate

c) below

A. 3m/s^2

B. 0 m/s^2

C. -3m/s^2

D. 1 m/s^2

Step-by-step explanation:

a) This graph models the change in velocity of time. Since when the velocity decreases over time, the acceleration is negative. This relationship is modeled in the interval from the 9th to 11th seconds which is section c.

b) If the graph is flat, it means the car is traveling at the same amount of meters per second. This means the car is traveling at a constant rate during section b.

c) During section A, the velocity in second 0 to second 4 increases by 12m/s. So, the acceleration is 3m/s^2. This is identical to finding the slope.

During section B, the velocity does not change at all, so the acceleration(and slope) is 0 m/s^2

During section C, over 2 seconds, from 9 to 11, the velocity goes from 12 m/s to 6 m/s, which is a change of -6 m/s. Therefore, the acceleration is -3m/s^2

During section D, over a span of 4 seconds(11 - 15), the velocity changes from 6 m/s to 10 m/s. That means a change of 4 m/s and the acceleration would be 1 m/s^2.

Length of slide = 12 feet

Angle of depression = 25°

Find:

Height of slide

Computation:

Length of slide = Hypotenuse

Height of slide = Perpendicular

Using trigonometry function;

Sin θ = Perpendicular / Hypotenuse

Sin 25 = Height of slide / 12

0.422 = Height of slide / 12

Height of slide = 12 x 0.422

Height of slide = 5.064

Height of slide = 5 feet (Approx.)

The water level at a local pier rises and falls with the tide. Yesterday, the maximum depth of the water at the pier was 8 feet, and the minimum depth was 4 feet. High tide occurred at 12:00 am and low tide occurred at 12:20 pm. Which function models the depth, in feet, of the water at the pier yesterday, as a function of the time t in minutes past high tide?

Answers

Answer: C, Bottom Left

Step-by-step explanation:

The  function that models the depth, in feet, of the water at the pier yesterday, as a function of the time t in minutes past high tide is: 2 cos(π/740t)+6.

What is function model?

Amplitude

A = 8 - 6

A = 2 ft

Average depth

A = (4 + 8)/2

A = 6 ft

Hence:

A+B=8

-A+B=4

1/2t=12×60×20=740

w=2π/t=π740

When t=0

d=2sin4+6=8

4=π/2

Hence:

d(t)=2 sin(π/740t + 4)+6

2 cos(π/740t)+6

Therefore the function that models the depth, in feet, of the water at the pier yesterday, as a function of the time t in minutes past high tide is: 2 cos(π/740t)+6.

Components of a certain type are shipped to a supplier in batches of ten. Suppose that 50% of all such batches contain no defective components, 35% contain one defective component, and 15% contain two defective components. Two components from a batch are randomly selected and tested. What are the probabilities associated with 0, 1, and 2 defective components being in the batch under each of the following conditions?

a. Neither tested component is defective.
b. One of the two tested components is defective

Answers

Answer:

a) P (0 defective component) = 0.5

   P( 1 defective component ) = 0.35

    P( 2 defective component ) = 0.15

b) P( 0 ) = 0

   p ( 1 ) =  1

   p ( 2 ) = 0.33

Step-by-step explanation:

p( no defective ) = 0.5

p( 1 is defective ) = 0.35

p( 2 is defective ) = 0.15

Given that 2 components are selected at random

a) Given that neither component is defective

Probability of 0 defective component = 0.5

P( 1 defective component ) = 0.35

P( 2 defective component ) = 0.15

b) Given that one of the two tested component is defective

P( 0 defective ) = 0

P( 1 defective ) = P ( [tex]\frac{x=1}{x\geq 1}[/tex] ) = p( x = 1 ) / 1 - P ( x = 0 )

                                        = ( 0.5 )^1 ( 0.5 )^0 /  1 - ( 0.5)^0 (0.5)^1

                                        = 0.5 * 1 / 1 - 0.5 = 0.5 / 0.5 =  1

p ( 2 defective ) = p( x = 3 ) / 1 - P ( x = 0 )

                         = ( 0.5 )^2 ( 0.5 )^0 /  1 - ( 0.5)^0 (0.5)^2

                         = 0.25 / 0.75 = 0.33

Option C and D!

Step-by-step explanation:

Option C because:-

When 9 is placed in the box after 7, we get:-

7 ÷ 9 = [tex]\frac{7}{9}[/tex] which is correct!

7 ÷ 9 can also be written as [tex]\frac{7}{9}[/tex]. So, this Option is right since the equation is correct when 9 is placed in the box!

Option D is also correct because,

When we place 9 in the box before [tex]\frac{1}{9}[/tex], we get:-

9 ÷ [tex]\frac{1}{9}[/tex] = 81

9 ÷ [tex]\frac{1}{9}[/tex]  equals 9 x 9 (take the reciprocal of [tex]\frac{1}{9}[/tex])

9 x 9 equals 81 which means the equation is correct when 9 is placed in the box!

Suppose he is not sure if the distribution of net weights is Normal. In which of the following circumstances would he not be safe to use a t procedure?
A. A boxplot of the data has multiple large outliers.
B. The mean and median of the data are nearly equal.
C. The sample standard deviation is large.
D. A boxplot of the data shows a very slight skew.

Answers

Answer:

A. A boxplot of the  data has multiple large outliers.

D. A boxplot of the data shows a very slight skew.

Step-by-step explanation:

A) The normal distribution does not have outliers. The outliers are any point outside the 3σ interval which 99.7% of the data. The 0.3% data would not be outliers.

B) YEs the mean and median of the normal distribution are nearly equal. AS it is asymmetrical.

C) When the sample standard deviation is large the data is spread about the mean. The normal distribution  is flatter and wider

D) The normal distribution is never skewed.If one end is longer then the distribution is not assymmetric and the normal distribution asymmetric meaning half is the mirror reflection of the other half.

So A and D indicate circumstances where he not be safe to use a t procedure.
