complete question

study by Allstate Insurance Co. finds that 82% of teenagers have used cell phones while driving ( The Wall Street Journal , May 5, 2010). In October 2010, Massachusetts enacted a law that forbids cell phone use by drivers under the age of 18. A policy analyst would like to determine whether the law has decreased the proportion of drivers under the age of 18 who use a cell phone.a. State the null and the alternative hypotheses to test the policy analyst’s objective.

b. Suppose a sample of 200 drivers under the age of 18 results in 150 who still use a cell phone while driving. What is the value of the test statistic? What is the p-value?c. At α = 0.05 has the law been effective?

d. Repeat this exercise using the critical value approach with α = 0.05

Answer:

1. H0: p>=0.82

H1: p<0.82

2. z test statistic = -2.5767

3. the law has been effective

4. the null is rejected, the law has been effective

Step-by-step explanation:

1. hypothesis formulation

H0: p>= 0.82

H1: p< 0.82

2. p = 82% = 0.82

estimated p^ = x/n = 150/200 = 0.75

standard error calculation:

= √0.82(1-0.82)/200

= √0.82x0.18/200

= √0.02716615

Z test statistic calculation:

= 0.75-0.82/0.02716615

= -2.5767

3. this test is 1 tailed

the p-value using a p value calculator is = 0.004983

0.004983 < 0.05 so we Reject null and conclude that the law has been effective.

4. we Reject null at 0.05 if z is less than -1.645.

-2.5767<-1.645 so we Reject H0 and conclude law has been effective and there is a decrease in drivers under this age who use cell phones

which fraction is the least 2/4, 5/10, 2/5, 3/4​

Answers

Answer:

2/5 or the third one

Step-by-step explanation:

The first two are 1/2 after they are simplified and the second two are just below or just above one half, the last one is above and the third one is below.

Answer:

2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert all fractions to have a common denominator

4, 10, and 5 can all be multiplied to equal 20

As a result, we will use 20 for the common denominator

What multiplied by 4 equals 20? 5 × 4 = 20

What multiplied by 10 equals 20? 2 × 10 = 20

What multiplied by 5 equals 20? 4 × 5 = 20

If we multiply this to the denominator, we must also multiply the same number to the numerator

Starting from left to right:

2 × 5 / 4 × 5 = 10/20

5 × 2 / 10 × 2 = 10/20

2 × 4 / 5 × 4 = 8/20

3 × 5 / 4 × 5 = 15/20

Compare: 10/20, 10/20, 8/20, 15/20

Which fraction has the smallest numerator?

8/20 as 8 is less than 15 and 10

Which fraction was 8/20? Check back to our work.

8/20 = 2/5

Solve the triangle. A = 46°, a = 31, b = 27

Answers

Answer:

A=46 degrees, B=33.4 degrees, C=100.6 degrees

a=34, b=27, c=48.2

Step-by-step explanation:

(a/sin(A)) = (b/sin(B)) = (c/sin(C))

we are given

(34/sin(46)) = (27/sin(B))

34sin(B) = 26sin(46)

34sin(B) = 18.702834809

sin(B) = 0.550083377

note use inverse sin function to find angle B

B = 33.372733167 approx 33.4 degrees then

C = 180 - (46 + 33.4) = 100.6

Then, (b/sin(B)) = (c/sin(C))

27/0.550083377 = c/0.982935349

0.550083377 * c = 27 * 0.982935349

0.550083377 * c = 26.539254427

c = 48.245876056 approx 48.2 .

Lastly, you get: A=46 degrees, B=33.4 degrees, C=100.6 degrees

a=34, b=27, c=48.2

Question : What is the value of the test statistic

answer : = 5.73

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean value = 90 minutes

std = 15 minutes

Calculate the test statistic

mean value  of given data = ∑ x / n = 105.7

since the value of standard deviation is given we will assume a normal distribution

Hence we will apply  z test statistics

z = mean value of given data - Mean value / 15 √30

   = ( 105.7 - 90 )  / 15 √30

  = 5.73

he response times for a random sample of 40 medical emergencies were tabulated. The sample mean is 13.25 minutes. The population standard deviation is believed to be 3.2 minutes. The EMS director wants to perform a hypothesis test, with a .05 level of significance, to determine whether the service goal of 12 minutes or less is being achieved.

Answers

Answer:

The calculated value Z = 2.5 > 1.96 at 0.05 level of significance

The null hypothesis is rejected

The Alternative hypothesis is rejected

The EMS director wants to service goal of 12 minutes or less is being achieved

Step-by-step explanation:

Step(i):-

Given that the size of the random sample = 40

Given that the mean of the sample (x ⁻) = 13.25

Given that the standard deviation of the Population = 3.2 minutes

Level of significance = 0.05

The mean of the Population (μ) = 12

Step(ii):-

Null hypothesis:-H₀: (μ) = 12

Alternative Hypothesis: H₁ : μ < 12

Test statistic

                  [tex]Z = \frac{x^{-}-mean }{\frac{S.D}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex]

                  [tex]Z = \frac{13.25-12 }{\frac{3.2}{\sqrt{40} } }[/tex]

                  Z = 2.5

The tabulated value Z₀.₀₅ = 1.96

The calculated value Z = 2.5 > 1.96 at 0.05 level of significance

The null hypothesis is rejected

The Alternative hypothesis is rejected

Final answer:-

The EMS director wants to service goal of 12 minutes or less is being achieved

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Brainliest?

The 6-kilogram pack of sand for $20 is a better value. Then the amount of money for 18 pounds of sand will be $27.18.

What is the rate?

The rate is the ratio of the amount of something to the unit.

For example - If the speed of the car is 20 km/h which means the car travels 20 km in one hour.

Enzo requirements to get some sand for his sandbox. He can either purchase a 10-pound sack of sand for $18 or a 6-kilogram pack of sand for $20.

The rate in the first case is written as,

⇒ 18/10

⇒ $1.8 per pound

The rate in the second case is written as,

⇒ 20/6

⇒ $3.33 per kilogram

⇒ $1.51 per pound

The 6-kilogram pack of sand for $20 is a better value.

Then the amount of money for 18 pounds of sand will be given as,

⇒ $1.51 x 18

⇒ $27.18

Thus, the amount of money for 18 pounds of sand will be $27.18.
