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.

49y^2-196y+196 - 25x^2-200x-400 = 1429+196-400

49(y-2)^2 - 25(x+4)^2 = 1225

a maple tree shades an area of 7 1/2 m square. in the scale drawing, the maple tree shades an area of 12 1/2 cm square. in the scale drawing how many square centimeters represents 1 m squared

Answers

The number of centimeter squares in the scale drawing for each 1 m squared is 1.67.

What is Scale factor?

The scale factor is a type of measurement which is used to increase or decrease the size of an object keeping its shape as the same. It can be determined by taking the ratio of the new and the original dimension of the object.

Given that,

The area shaded by a maple tree is 7(¹/₂) m².

And, the area shaded in scale drawing is 12(¹/₂) cm².

The required  number of square centimeters can be found by dividing the two areas as follows,

12(¹/₂) / 7(¹/₂)

= (25/2)/(15/2)

= 25 / 15

= 5 / 3

= 1.67

Hence, the number of centimeter squares in the scale area is 1.67.

I can't solve this problem: 47 x 98= ( ? x 47)-(2 x 47)

Answers

Answer:

The answer to your question is:

2 and -49

Step-by-step explanation:

2 x -49 = -98

2 + (-49) = -47

x2 - 47x - 98 = 0

The solution to factor the quadratic equation above is:

(X + 2 ) (X - 49)

Since 2 and -49 multiply to -98 and add up -47, you know that the following is true:

x2 - 47x - 98 = (X + 2 ) (X - 49)

g The average lifespan for a certain type of vehicle is 8 years and follows an exponential distribution. A lot contains 200 of these vehicles, brand new. What is the probability that 50 or more of them fail in the first 2 years

Answers

Answer:

The probability is [tex]P(A \ge 50 ) = 0.14321[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The average life span is  [tex]\pi = 8[/tex]

The sample size is n =  200

Generally we are told that average lifespan for a certain type of vehicle follows an exponential distribution

i.e  

             [tex]X \~ \ \ \ exp(8)[/tex]

Gnerally the probability distribution function for exponential distribution is

       [tex]f(x) = \left \{ {{\lambda * e^{-\lambda * x }\ \ \ x\ge 0 } \atop {0 \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ x < 0}} \right.[/tex]

Now [tex]\lambda[/tex] is the  constant which is evaluated as

      [tex]\lambda = \frac{1}{\pi}[/tex]

=>   [tex]\lambda = \frac{1}{8}[/tex]

=>   [tex]\lambda = 0.125[/tex]

Generally the that the vehicles will fail in less than 2 years is  mathematically represented as

         [tex]P(X \le 2 )= p= \int\limits^2_0 {\lambda e^{- \lambda * x} } \, dx[/tex]

        [tex]P(X \le 2 )= p= [ {0.125 * - \frac{1}{0.125 } e^{- 0.125 * x} } ]|\left 2 } \atop {0}} \right.[/tex]

       [tex]P(X \le 2 )= p= [ {0.125 * - \frac{1}{0.125 } e^{- 0.125 * 2} } ] - [ {0.125 * - \frac{1}{0.125 } e^{- 0.125 * 0} } ][/tex]

     [tex]P(X \le 2 )= p= -0.77880 + 1[/tex]

     [tex]P(X \le 2 )= p= 0.2212[/tex]

Generally the probability that the vehicle will fail in the first 2 years follows a binomial  distribution  with the mean evaluated as

         [tex]\mu = n * p[/tex]

=>      [tex]\mu = 200 * 0.2212[/tex]

=>      [tex]\mu = 44.24[/tex]

The standard deviation is

       [tex]\sigma = \sqrt{np(1 - p)}[/tex]    

      [tex]\sigma = \sqrt{200 * 0.2212 (1 - 0.2212)}[/tex]  

      [tex]\sigma = 5.86[/tex]

Using normal approximation of binomial  distribution the  probability that 50 or more of them fail in the first 2 years is mathematically represented as

   [tex]P(A \ge 50 ) = 1 - P(A < 50 )[/tex]

Applying continuity correction

    [tex]P(A \ge 50.5 ) = 1 - P(A < 50.5 )[/tex]

Here

    [tex]P(A < 50.5 ) = P(\frac{A - \mu }{\sigma} < \frac{50 - 44.24}{5.87} )[/tex]

Generally  

       [tex]\frac{A - \mu }{\sigma} = Z (The \ standardized \ value \ of A )[/tex]

=> [tex]P(A < 50.5 ) = P( Z < 1.0664 )[/tex]

From the z-table the probability value  of  ( Z  <  1.0664   ) is  

     [tex]P( Z < 1.0664 ) = 0.85679[/tex]

So  

   [tex]P(A \ge 50 ) = 1 - 0.85679[/tex]

=> [tex]P(A \ge 50 ) = 0.14321[/tex]

A food truck sells tacos $1.25 a piece. The truck operator earned $360.00 last night.
How many tacos did the food truck sell last night?
28.8 tacos
288 tacos
300 tacos
2.88 tacos

Answers

Answer:

288

Step-by-step explanation:

Each taco is 1.25 dollars and you are trying to figure out how many tacos he sold to do this we make an equation.

Step 1

1.25 x = 360

x =is the amount of tacos sold.

Step 2

1.25 x = 360

/1.25      /1.25

to get x on its own we need to cancel out the 1.25 so we dived because it was multiplied to the x. we did the same on the other side to balance the equation.

Step 3

x = 288

we now need to identify what x is, we can see it is 288. If we trade x for what it means it is then this is your answer  the amount of tacos sold=288

i hope this helps ;)
