Independent random samples of released prisoners in the fraud and firearms offense categories yielded the given information on time served in months. At the 1% significance level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the meantime served for fraud is less than that for firearms offenses? Assume that populations standard deviations are the same for both groups. (i.e., we assume σ1 = σ2 .)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Since the computed value of t= -4.654 does not fall in the critical region we therefore accept the null hypothesis . We conclude that there is sufficient evidence to indicate a difference in the means time served for fraud is less than that for firearms offenses.

Step-by-step explanation:

Fraud                                        Firearm

15.2      9.2                              20.1          15.7

11.2       15.8                             20.4          9.8

7.2         5.2                             13.1           13.5

7.7         4.9                            20.7           23.1

7.4        9.8                            10.4            22.2            

∑ 93.6                                             169                    

Fraud  (X1i)²                                      Firearm(X2j)²

231.04      84.64                           404.01          246.49

125.44      249.64                          416.16          96.04

51.84        27.04                            171.61           182.25

59.29       24.01                            428.49           533.61

54.76        96.04                            108.16           492.84

∑1003.79                                                  3079.66          

We formulate the null and alternative hypothesis as

H0: μ1 - μ2 ≤ 0 i.e. the fraud meantime is less than that for firearms offenses.

Ha: μ1-  μ2  > 0  i.e. the fraud meantime is greater than that for firearms offenses.

We set the significance level at ∝= 0.01

The test statistic, if  H0 is true , is

t=  x1`1- x`2/ Sp√1/n1+ 1/n2

which has a student t- distribution with ν= n1+ n2 -2 = 18 degrees of freedom

The critical region consists of all t- values which are greater than or equal to  t> t(0.01)(18)= 2.522

Computations :

X1`= ∑X1i/n1 = 93.6/10= 9.36

X2`=∑X2j/n2=169/10 = 16.9

∑( X1i- x`1)² = ∑X1i²- (∑X1i)²/n1

= 1003.79 - 876.096/10

= 100.379- 87.6096

=12.7694

∑( X2j- x`2)² = ∑X2j²- (∑X2j)²/n2

= 3079.66 - 28561/10

= 3079.66- 2856.1

=223.56

Sp²= 12.7694+223.56/18= 13.129

Sp = √13.129 =3.623

t= 9.36-16.9/ 3.623√0.1+0.1

t= -7.54/ 1.62

t= -4.654

Conclusion: Since the computed value of t= -4.654 does not fall in the critical region we therefore accept the null hypothesis . We conclude that there is sufficient evidence to indicate a difference in the means time served for fraud is less than that for firearms offenses.

The meantime served for fraud is less than that for firearms offenses.

Chuck-A-Luck: To win any money, at least two of your dice must show the same number. What's the likelihood of winning anything after one roll?

Answers

Answer:

0.2778

Step-by-step explanation:

Each sides in a fair die has a probability of = 1/6

The probability of getting the same number on both dice is 6 from 36 outcomes, that is;

= 6/36 = 1/6

the probability of get same number on both dice after one roll = 1/6

therefore = 1/6 x 1/6 = 1/36 = 0.2778

A survey of U.S. adults found that 67% oppose raising the Medicare eligibility age from 65 to 67. You randomly select 80 U.S. adults S and ask them how they feel about raising the Medicare eligibility age from 65 to 67. Find the probability that the number who oppose raising the age is (a) at least 65, (b) exactly 50, and (c) more than 60, and (d) identify any unusual events. Explain.

Answers

Answer:

0.477%

6.55%

5.05%

Event in question (a)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

p = 0.67 ; n = 80

Using Normal approximation :

Mean (m) = np = 80 * 0.67 = 53.6

Standard deviation (s) = sqrt(np(1-p)) = sqrt(80*0.67*0.33) = 4.2057

probability that the number who oppose raising the age is

(a) at least 65

65 - 0.5 = 64.5 = x

Z = (x - m) / s

Z = (64.5 - 53.6) / 4.2057 = 2.592

P(Z ≥ 2. 592) = 0.004771 (Z probability calculator)

(b) exactly 50

x = 50 + 0.5 = 50.5 ; x = 50 - 0.5 = 49.5

Z = (50.5 - 53.6) / 4.2057 = - 0.737

Z = (49.5 - 53.6) / 4.2057 = - 0.974

P(Z < - 0.737) - p(Z < 0.974) (Z probability calculator)

0.23056 - 0.16503 = 0.06553

(c) more than 60, and (d) identify any unusual events

x = 60 + 0.5 = 60.5

Z = (60.5 - 53.6) / 4.2057 = 1.64

P(Z > 1.64) = 0.0505

D.) Event with probability of less than 5%, which is event in (a) with probability of 0.477%

~I hope I helped you :)~

Answer:

No Solution

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Parenthesis

Here, you cannot add x and 1, so you must distribute the 2 into the parenthesis.

(2x+2) = 2x +5

2) Isolate the variable.

To do this, you must subtract 2x from both sides of the equation

2x - 2x + 2 = 2x - 2x + 5

2 = 5

Clearly, this is a false statement, seeing at 2 can never equal 5, the answer is no solution

If x and y are 2 complementary angles then find the value of y if measure of angle x is 20 degree
plz help me I am marking branliest to the correct answer

Answers

Answer:

y=70 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

If 2 angles are complimentary, they add up to 90 degrees.

x+y=90 degrees

x=20 degrees

y=90-20 degrees

y=70 degrees

If that is wrong, try this. Let's say the questions gives us the fact that x is 20 degrees greater than y.

y=x

Substituting x for y, the equation is x+x+20=90

Since y is x, x would also be y, which is 35. then x+20 would be 55.

So y would be 35.

THE ANSWER WOULD BE 70 DEGREES, BUT IF THAT IS WRONG, DO THE SECOND ONE, WHICH IS 35

(Numerical problems) A car is running with the velocity of 72km/h. What will be it's velocity after 5s if it's acceleration is -2m/s square​

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

72km/h = 72,000m/3,600s = 20m/s.

Using Kinematics, we have

v = u + at

= (20m/s) + (-2m/s²)(5s)

= 10m/s.

Hence the velocity will be 10m/s. (or 36km/h)
