Some transportation experts claim that it is the variability of speeds, rather than the level of speeds, that is a critical factor in determining the likelihood of an accident occurring (Update, Virginia Department of Transportation, Winter 2000). One of the experts claims that driving conditions are dangerous if the variance of speeds exceeds 75 (mph)2. On a heavily traveled highway, a random sample of 55 cars revealed a mean and a variance of speeds of 62.5 mph and 94.7(mph)2, respectively. (You may find it useful to reference the appropriate table: chi-square table or F table)
1. Set up the competing hypothesis to test wxpert,s claim.
2. At the 5% significance level find the critical value and state the decision rule.
3. Can you conclude that driving conditions are dangerous on this highway? explain.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Explained below.

Step-by-step explanation:

The claim made by an expert is that driving conditions are dangerous if the variance of speeds exceeds 75 (mph)².

(1)

The hypothesis for both the test can be defined as:

H₀: The variance of speeds does not exceeds 75 (mph)², i.e. σ² ≤ 75.

Hₐ: The variance of speeds exceeds 75 (mph)², i.e. σ² > 75.

(2)

A Chi-square test will be used to perform the test.

The significance level of the test is, α = 0.05.

The degrees of freedom of the test is,

df = n - 1 = 55 - 1 = 54

Compute the critical value as follows:

[tex]\chi^{2}_{\alpha, (n-1)}=\chi^{2}_{0.05, 54}=72.153[/tex]

Decision rule:

If the test statistic value is more than the critical value then the null hypothesis will be rejected and vice-versa.

(3)

Compute the test statistic as follows:

[tex]\chi^{2}=\frac{(n-1)\times s^{2}}{\sigma^{2}}[/tex]

    [tex]=\frac{(55-1)\times 94.7}{75}\\\\=68.184[/tex]

The test statistic value is, 68.184.

Decision:

[tex]cal.\chi^{2}=68.184<\chi^{2}_{0.05,54}=72.153[/tex]

The null hypothesis will not be rejected at 5% level of significance.

Conclusion:

The variance of speeds does not exceeds 75 (mph)². Thus, concluding that driving conditions are not dangerous on this highway.

In an effort to make children’s toys safer and more tamperproof, toy packaging has become cumbersome for parents to remove in many cases. Accordingly, the director of marketing at Toys4Tots, a large toy manufacturer, wants to evaluate the effectiveness of a new packaging design that engineers claim will reduce customer complaints by more than 10 percentage points. Customer satisfaction surveys were sent to 220 parents who registered toys packaged under the old design and 220 parents who registered toys packaged under the new design. Of these, 86 parents expressed dissatisfaction with packaging of the old design, and 41 parents expressed dissatisfaction with packaging of the new design.
Let p1 represent the population proportion of parents that expressed dissatisfaction with the packaging of the old design and p2 represent the population proportion of parents that expressed dissatisfaction with the packaging of the new design.
A. Specify the null and alternative hypotheses to test for whether the proportion of customer complaints has decreased by more than 5% under the new packaging design.
1. H0 : p1 - p2 < 0.10; HA : p1 - p2 > 0.10
2. H0 : p1 - p2 = 0.10; HA : p1 - p2 is not equal to 0.10
3. H0 : p1 - p2 > 0.10; HA : p1 - p2 < 0.10
B. What is the value of the test statistic and the associated p-value?
C. At the 1% significance level, do the results support the engineers' claim?
D. At the 10% significance level, do the results support the engineers' claim?

Answers

Answer:

Explained below.

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

In this case we need to determine if the proportion of customer complaints has decreased by more than 10% under the new packaging design.

The hypothesis can be defined as follows:  

H₀: The proportion of customer complaints has not decreased by more than 10% under the new packaging design, i.e. p₁ - p₂ ≤ 0.10.  

Hₐ: The proportion of customer complaints has decreased by more than 10% under the new packaging design, i.e. p₁ - p₂ > 0.10.  

(b)

The information provided is:

n₁ = 220

n₂ = 220

X₁ = 86

X₂ = 41

Compute the sample proportions and total proportions as follows:

[tex]\hat p_{1}=\frac{X_{1}}{n_{1}}=\frac{86}{220}=0.3909\\\\\hat p_{2}=\frac{X_{2}}{n_{2}}=\frac{41}{220}=0.1864\\\\\hat P=\frac{X_{1}+X_{2}}{n_{1}+n_{2}}=\frac{86+41}{220+220}=0.2886[/tex]

Compute the test statistic value as follows:

 [tex]z=\frac{\hat p_{1}-\hat p_{2}}{\sqrt{\hat P(1-\hat P)[\frac{1}{n_{1}}+\frac{1}{n_{2}}]}}[/tex]

   [tex]=\frac{0.3909-0.1864}{\sqrt{0.2886(1-0.2886)\times[\frac{1}{220}+\frac{1}{220}]}}\\\\=\frac{0.2045}{\sqrt{0.0018665}}\\\\=4.733524\\\\\approx 4.73[/tex]

The test statistic value is 4.73.

Compute the p-value as follows:

[tex]p-value=P(Z>4.73)[/tex]

               [tex]=1-P(Z<4.73)\\=1-(\approx 1)\\=0[/tex]

The p-value of the test is 0.

(c)

The decision rule is:

The null hypothesis will be rejected if the p-value of the test is less than the significance level.

p-value = 0 < α = 0.01.

The null hypothesis will be rejected at 1%significance level.

Thus, there is enough evidence at 1% significance level to support the engineers' claim.

(d)

The decision rule is:

The null hypothesis will be rejected if the p-value of the test is less than the significance level.

p-value = 0 < α = 0.10.

The null hypothesis will be rejected at 10%significance level.

Thus, there is enough evidence at 10% significance level to support the engineers' claim.

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

1. <ABC and <BCD are alternate interior angles. Alternate interior angles are equal, therefore, since m<ABC = 38°, then m<BCD = 38°

2. m<ECF = m<BCD (corresponding angles)

m<ECF = 38° (substitution)

3. m<DCF + m<ECF = 180° (linear pair)

m<DCF + 38° = 180° (substitution)

m<DCF = 180° - 38° (Subtraction property of equality)

m<DCF = 142°

Answers

the equation of the line is y= x-4

Step-by-step explanation:

so so the first thing that you're going to do is get y alone

-x-5=y

next you're going to find your slope which in this case is negative one.

after that in order to find the equation of a parallel line you're going to find the reciprocal of the slope.

so in this case the reciprocal is one.

next you're going to substitute in the cordinates to find the y intercept

x+b=y. (-1)+b= -5. (. b is the y intercept)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving the equation for y, we have ...

  -7x = 5y

  -7/5x = y

The slope of this line (-7/5) is the tangent of the angle (A) it makes with the x-axis. The secant satisfies the relation ...

  sec(A)^2 = 1 + tan(A)^2

  sec(A) = √(1 +tan(A)^2)

  sec(A) = -√(1 +(-7/5)^2) = -√(74/25) . . . . secant is negative in 2nd quadrant

  sec(A) = -(1/5)√74
