From among the 300 largest cities in the United States, the FleeceU Auto Insurance Company identified the 10 safest and 10 least-safe U.S. cities based on the mean number of years drivers went between automobile accidents. The cities on both lists were the smaller cities on the list of the 300 largest.

Use facts about the sampling distribution model of the sample mean to explains why this is not surprising?

Answer:

7

Step-by-step explanation:

I just want points

Answer 2

Cities in which the mean is based on a smaller number of drivers will have greater variation in their means and are therefore more likely to be both safest and least safe.

What is random sampling?

In statistics, a simple random sample is a subset of individuals chosen from a larger set in which a subset of individuals are chosen randomly, all with the same probability. It is a process of selecting a sample in a random way.

Given that, from among the 300 largest cities in the United States, the FleeceU Auto Insurance Company identified the 10 safest and 10 least-safe U.S. cities.

It is noted that mean is used to measure the safety of a city. It is known that outliers have more effect on the mean value. The outlier drags the center or mean value toward it. Also, small samples usually have more variation. This could be the reason why small cities are on both safe and least safe cities lists.

So, the correct option is d.

Options (a) and (c) do not include any interpretation in terms of mean. Option (b) suggests that data is bimodal, but it does not signify why small cities are more in the lists. Option (e) does not conclude in terms of mean. Option (f) suggests the phenomenon of traffic congestion in big cities, but it cannot be considered only because of traffic the mean year is less. Option (g) does not imply statistically meaningful evidence to suggest the claim. And, option (h) is almost the same as option (d). However, since it does not suggest more about the variation, it is incorrect. Thus, except option (d), the remaining all statements are not recommended.

Therefore, option D is the correct answer

"Your question is incomplete, probably the complete question/missing part is:"

From among the 300 largest cities in the United States, FleeceU Insurance Company identified the 10 safest and 10 least-safe U.S. cities based on the mean number of years drivers went between automobile accidents. The cities on both lists were the smaller cities on the list of the 300 largest. Use facts about the sampling distribution model of the sample mean to select the choice below that explains why this is not surprising.

a. More people in larger cities drive older cars that are more accident prone.

b. In smaller cities, the distribution of the mean number of years drivers go between accidents is bimodal, which makes it more likely they will be in the safest and least-safe cities.

c. Larger cities have a higher incidence of hit-and-run accidents.

d.Cities in which the mean is based on a smaller number of drivers will have greater variation in their means and are therefore more likely to be both safest and least safe.

e. Accident statistics are more accurate in smaller cities.

f. Traffic congestion in larger cities decreases the mean number of years drivers go between accidents but not enough to place larger cities In the least-safe group.

g.Large cities are not on the safest list because their mean time between accidents is reduced by people who "stage" accidents for purposes of insurance fraud.

h.Smaller cities are safer, but a few accident-prone drivers (outliers) in some small cities decreases the mean number of years between accidents, resulting in these cities being listed on the least-safe list.

A rainstorm in Portland, Oregon, has wiped out the electricity in about 7% of the households in the city. A management team in Portland has a big meeting tomorrow, and all 6 members of the team are hard at work in their separate households, preparing their presentations. What is the probability that none of them has lost electricity in his/her household

Answers

Answer:

0.647 = 64.7% probability that none of them has lost electricity in his/her household

Step-by-step explanation:

For each household, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they lost electricity, or they did not. The probability of a household losing electricity is independent of any other household. This means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

In which [tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

And p is the probability of X happening.

A rainstorm in Portland, Oregon, has wiped out the electricity in about 7% of the households in the city.

This means that [tex]p = 0.07[/tex]

6 members

This means that [tex]n = 6[/tex]

What is the probability that none of them has lost electricity in his/her household?

This is P(X = 0). So

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{6,0}.(0.07)^{0}.(0.93)^{6} = 0.647[/tex]

0.647 = 64.7% probability that none of them has lost electricity in his/her household

Answer:

v(t) = $342,000×1.06^tv(8) = $545,096v(15) = $819,623

Step-by-step explanation:

When the growth (or decay) amount is a fraction or percentage of the current amount, an exponential model is indicated. Here, it will be of the form ...

  value = (initial value) × (1 + (growth rate))^t

where t is the time period corresponding to the growth rate.

We are given that the initial value is $342,000 and the growth rate is 6% in a year. So, the model can be ...

  value = 342,000×1.06^t . . . . . where t is years after 2017

__

In 2025, we are 8 years after 2017, so the value is predicted to be ...

  value = $342,000×1.06^8 ≈ $545,096 . . . in 2025

__

In 2032, we are 15 years after 2017, so the value is predicted to be ...

The Ratio of Girls to Boys:

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Boys: Girls

2     :   5

Question: How many boys are there if there are 90 girls?

The question is basically asking an equivalent ratio...

Let x be the number of boys.

[tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{x}{90}[/tex]

90 ÷ 5 = 18

So, if you multiply 18 by the number of the previous girls (5) you get 90

Therefore, you multiply 18 with the previous no. of boys (2) and that would be you equivalent answer!

A three-dimensional figure is a pyramid. Its base is a flat polygon. The remaining faces are all triangles and are referred to as lateral faces.

The number of sides on its base is equal to the number of lateral faces. The line segments that two faces intersect to form its edges. The intersection of three or more edges forms a vertex.

The given figure is a pyramid having a square base.

The pyramid also has four triangular faces, each having a base of 5 in and a height of 8 in.
