A firm is hired by a small town to estimate the proportion of large trucks that are carrying hazardous materials on the main highway through the town. Of 350 randomly selected trucks, 87 were carrying hazardous materials. Is there evidence at the 5% level that the proportion of large trucks carrying hazardous materials is less than 30%?
A. No, since the p-value of the one-sided test is less than 5%.
B. Yes, since the sample proportion is less than 30%
C. The sample size is too small to make a determination.
D. Yes, since the p-value of the one-sided test is less than 5%.
E. No, since the sample proportion is larger than 5%

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

D. Yes, since the p-value of the one-sided test is less than 5%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Test if there is evidence that the proportion of large trucks carrying hazardous materials is less than 30%.

At the null hypothesis, we test that this proportion is of 30%, that is:

[tex]H_0: p = 0.3[/tex]

At the alternate hypothesis, we test if this proportion is less than 30%, that is:

[tex]H_1: p < 0.3[/tex]

The test statistic is:

[tex]z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]

In which X is the sample mean, [tex]\mu[/tex] is the value tested at the null hypothesis, [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation and n is the size of the sample.

0.3 is tested at the null hypothesis:

This means that [tex]\mu = 0.3, \sigma = \sqrt{0.3*0.7}[/tex]

Of 350 randomly selected trucks, 87 were carrying hazardous materials.

This means that [tex]n = 350, X = \frac{87}{350} = 0.2486[/tex]

Value of the test statistic:

[tex]z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]

[tex]z = \frac{0.2486 - 0.3}{\frac{\sqrt{0.3*0.7}}{\sqrt{350}}}[/tex]

[tex]z = -2.1[/tex]

P-value of the test and decision:

The p-value of the test is the probability of finding a sample proportion below 0.2486, which is the p-value of z = -2.1.

Looking at the z-table, z = -2.1 has a p-value of 0.0179.

The p-value of the test is 0.0179 < 0.05, which means that there is evidence at the 5% level that the proportion of large trucks carrying hazardous materials is less than 30%. Thus, the correct answer is given by option D.

A shape has 2 pairs of parallel sides and no right angles. Its sides are all the same length. What shape is it?

A. Rhombus
B. Trapezoid
C. Rectangle
D. Square

Answers

Answer: The attached figure is a parallelogram with one corner chopped off, making it a pentagon. It still has two pairs of parallel sides & no right angles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallelogram is the word that most generally describes such a figure. A square or rectangle, which do, of course have right angles, are special cases of the parallelogram.

I am assuming (perhaps unjustifiably) that when you say “two pairs of parallel sides” you are talking of a figure with no other sides than those four.

There are, of course, many other polygons (hexagons, octagons, decagons, etc) which have two pairs of parallel sides and other sides, any two of which may or may not be parallel.

Two containers hold several balls. Once a second, one of the balls is chosen at random and switched to the other container. After a long time has passed, you record the number of balls in each container every second. In 10,000 s, you find 80 times when all the balls were in one container (either one) and the other container was empty.

Required:
a. How many balls are there?
b. What is the most likely number of balls to be found in one of the containers?

Answers

Answer:

(a) 8 balls

(b) 4 balls

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

[tex]N \to[/tex] Number of balls

For a box, the probability that there are N balls in it is:

[tex]Pr = 0.5^N[/tex]

For 2 boxes, it is:

[tex]Pr = 2 * 0.5^N[/tex]

From the question, we have:

[tex]\frac{80}{10000} \to[/tex] Favorable outcome

To solve for N, we have:

[tex]2 * 0.5^N = \frac{80}{10000}[/tex]

[tex]2 * 0.5^N = 0.008[/tex]

Divide both sides by 2

[tex]0.5^N = 0.004[/tex]

Take log of both sides

[tex]\log(0.5^N) = \log(0.004)[/tex]

Apply law of logarithm

[tex]N\log(0.5) = \log(0.004)[/tex]

Make N the subject

[tex]N = \frac{\log(0.004)}{\log(0.5)}[/tex]

[tex]N =7.966[/tex]

Approximate

[tex]N = 8[/tex]

Solving (b): Balls in one of the two boxes.

Here, we assume that each ball will have almost the same number of balls at a given instance;

Hence, we have:

[tex]Balls \approx \frac{N}{2}[/tex]

[tex]Balls \approx \frac{8}{2}[/tex]

[tex]Balls \approx 4[/tex]

4 balls in each box

The average credit card debt for a recent year was $8,776. Five years earlier the average credit card debt was $8,189. Assume sample sizes of 32 were used and the population standard deviations of both samples were $690. Is there evidence to cónclude that the average credit card debt has increased? Use a- 0.05
a. State the hypotheses
b. Find the critical value.
c. Compute the test statistic
d. Make the decision.
e. Summarize the results

Answers

Answer:

We reject H₀.  We support that the new average credit card debt is bigger than the previous average

Step-by-step explanation:

Five years earlier

μ   = 8189

σ  =  690

Sample size   n  = 32

Recent year debt

x  =  8776

Sample size   n  = 32

a) Hypothesis Test:

Null Hypothesis                        H₀            x  =  μ   = 8189

Alternative Hypothesis           Hₐ             x >  μ

b) z(c)  Alternative Hypothesis establishes that the test is a one tail-test to the right.

z(c)   for significance level  α = 0.05    is  from z-table      z(c) = 1,64

c) z(s)  =  (  x  -   μ ) / σ /√n

z(s)  =  ( 8776  - 8189 ) / 690 /√32

z(s)  =  587 *5,66/ 690

z(s) = 4,81

d) Comparing   z(c)    and z(s)

z(s)  >  z(c)   Then z(c) is in the rejection region and we reject H₀

e) We have evidence that at 95 % of confidence the new value for the debt in credit card is now bigger than the average

the rectangle shown has an area of 105 square inches. the width is x+ 16 inches and the length is x. find the dimensions of the rectangle

Answers

Answer:

Length = 5

Width = 21

Step-by-step explanation:

(x)(x + 16) = 105

x^2 + 16x = 105

x^2 + 16x - 105 = 0

(x - 5) x ( x + 21) = 0

x - 10 = 0

x = 5

x + 21 = 0

x = -21

Now that we have the zeroes.

We have to find the most viable one to put in.

Using -21 would not make sense, so we will use 5.

Plug it in:

x = 5

(5) (5 + 16) = 105

5 ( 21) = 105

an experienced bricklayer can construct a small wall in 7 hours. An apprentice can complete the job in 42 hours

Answers

Answer:

6 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

The trick to this type of problem is using an equal amount of time.

The least common multiple of 7 and 42 is 42

At 7 hours per wall

In 42 hours the bricklayer could build

42/7 = 6 walls

At 42 hours per wall

In 42 hours the apprentice could build

42/1 = 1 walls

Working together in 42 hours they could build 6 + 1 = 7 walls

42hours/7walls = 6hours/ wall

--------------------------

Math only

x = 1 wall/7hours + 1wall/42 hours

use common denominator of 42

x = 6w/42 hr + 1w/42hr

x = 7w/42 hr

reduce

x = 1w / 6hr

Solve the equation
z³=27

Answers

Answer: z = 3, -1.5 + 1.5[tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex]i, -1.5 - 1.5[tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex]i

Step-by-step explanation:

      A cubic equation will have three solutions. This equatoin will give us one real solution. We will also have two complex solutions. These are solutions that involve "imaginary numbers" and will utilize the value i. We will write the equation in standard form and factor it.

              z³ - 27 = 0

              (z - 3)(z² + 3z + 9) = 0

      The first factor gives us z = 3, because 3 - 3 = 0. Now, we will look at when the second factor equals 0. Let us complete the square.

              z² + 3z + 9 = 0

              (z² + 3z + 2.25) + 9 - 1.5 = 0

              (z² + 3z + 2.25) + 6.75 = 0

              (z + 1.5)² + 6.75 = 0

      Lastly, we can continue solving. We will subtract 7.5 from both sides of the equation and then take the square root of both sides. Then, we will subtract 1.5 from both sides of the equation and simplify the radical.  [tex]i=\sqrt{-1}[/tex].

              (z + 1.5)² = -6.75

              z + 1.5 = ±[tex]\sqrt{6.75}[/tex]i

              z = -1.5 ±1.5[tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex]i

Answer:

  z = 3, -1.5+1.5√3i, -1.5-1.5√3i

Step-by-step explanation:

You want the solutions to the equation z³ = 27.

Cubic

A cubic equation has three solutions. This one has one positive real solution and two complex conjugate solutions.

We can rewrite the equation to standard form, then factor the difference of cubes.

  z³ -27 = 0

  (z -3)(z² +3z +9) = 0

The first factor will be zero when z = 3, so that is one solution.

The second factor will be zero when ...

  (z +1.5)² +6.75 = 0 . . . . . . . complete the square

  (z +1.5) = ±√(-6.75) = ±√(-27/4) = ±(3/2)√(-3) . . . subtract 6.75; square root

  z = -1.5 ±1.5√3i

The three solutions to the equation are ...

z = 3z = -1.5+1.5(√3)iz = -1.5-1.5(√3)i

6. m<A = 40.2°; m<B = 49.8°

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall: SOHCAHTOA

5. Reference angle = <A

Opposite = 9

Adjacent = 19

Apply TOA:

Tan A = Opp/Adj

Tan A = 9/19

A = Tan^{-1}(9/19)

A = 25.3461759° ≈ 25.3° (nearest tenth)

Reference angle = <B

Opposite = 19

Adjacent = 9

Apply TOA:

Tan B = Opp/Adj

Tan B = 19/9

B = Tan^{-1}(19/9)

B = 64.6538241° ≈ 64.7° (nearest tenth)

6. Reference angle = A

Opposite = 20

Hypotenuse = 31

Apply SOH:

Sin A = Opp/Hyp

Sin A = 20/31

A = sin^{-1}(20/31)

A = 40.2° (nearest tenth)

Reference angle = B

Adjacent = 20

Hypotenuse = 31

Apply CAH:

Cos B = Adj/Hyp

Cos B = 20/31

B = cos^{-1}(20/31)

B = 49.8° (nearest tenth)

We have that:

[tex](\frac{25}{4})^{3x} = \frac{32}{3125}[/tex]

Simplifying:

[tex](\frac{5^2}{2^2})^{3x} = \frac{2^5}{5^5}[/tex]

[tex]([\frac{5}{2}]^{2})^{3x} = (\frac{2}{5})^{5}[/tex]

Changing the numerator and denominator in the right side:
