Asimple random sample of front-seat occupants involved in car crashes is obtained. among 2902 occupants not wearing seat belts, 30 were killed. among 7866 occupants wearing seat belts, 20 were killed. use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that seat belts are effective in reducing fatalities. complete parts (a) through (c) below. a. test the claim using a hypothesis test. consider the first sample to be the sample of occupants not wearing seat belts and the second sample to be the sample of occupants wearing seat belts. what are the null and alternative hypotheses for the hypothesis? test?

Null hypothesis: $p_{SB} \geq p_{NSB}$

Alternative hypothesis: $p_{SB} < \mu_{NSB}$

The p value is a very low value and using the significance given $\alpha$ we see that p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and we can say the the proportion of people death using seat belts is significant lower than the proportion of deaths no using seat belts .

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Data given and notation

$X_{NSB}=30$ represent the number of people killed not using seat belts

$X_{SB}=20$ represent the number of people killed using seat belts

$n_{NSB}=2902$ sample of people not wearing seat belts

$n_{SB}=7866$ sample of people wearing seat belts

$p_{NSB}=\frac{30}{2902}=0.0103$ represent the proportion of people killed not using seat belts

$p_{SB}=\frac{20}{7866}=0.00254$ represent the proportion of people killed using seat belts

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

p_v represent the value for the test (variable of interest)

2) Concepts and formulas to use

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to test the claim that seat belts are effective in reducing fatalities (If using seat belts reduce the proportion of deaths we need to see that the proportion of death using seat belts is lower than not using seat belts) , the system of hypothesis would be:

Null hypothesis: $p_{SB} \geq p_{NSB}$

Alternative hypothesis: $p_{SB} < \mu_{NSB}$

We need to apply a z test to compare proportions, and the statistic is given by:

$z=\frac{p_{SB}-p_{NSB}}{\sqrt{\hat p (1-\hat p)(\frac{1}{n_{SB}}+\frac{1}{n_{NSB}})}}$ (1)

Where $\hat p=\frac{X_{SB}+X_{NSB}}{n_{SB}+n_{NSB}}=\frac{20+30}{7866+2902}=0.00464$

3) Calculate the statistic

Replacing in formula (1) the values obtained we got this:

$z=\frac{0.00254-0.0103}{\sqrt{0.00464(1-0.00464)(\frac{1}{7866}+\frac{1}{2902})}}=-5.26$

4) Statistical decision

Using the significance level provided $\alpha=0.05$ , the next step would be calculate the p value for this test.

Since is a one side lower test the p value would be:

p_v =P(Z

So the p value is a very low value and using the significance given $\alpha$ we see that p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and we can say the the proportion of people death using seat belts is significant lower than the proportion of deaths no using seat belts .

$\begin {array}{c|c}\underline {\quad x\quad}& \underline{\quad y\quad}\\ -2& 4\\-1& 2\\0& 0\\1& 2\\ 2& 4\\\end{array}$

step-by-step explanation:

y = | -2(-2) | → y = | 4 | → y = 4 ⇒ (-2, 4)

y = | -2(-1) | → y = | 2 | → y = 2 ⇒ (-1, 2)

y = | -2(0) | → y = | 0 | → y = 0 ⇒ (0, 0)

y = | -2(1) | c → y = | -2 | → y = 2 ⇒ (1, 2)

y = | -2(2) | → y = | - 4 | → y = 4 ⇒ (2, 4)

On traditional maps, earth is represented in a flat plane, or by euclidean geometry. however, a globe is a more accurate model that comes from elliptical geometry.how does a globe represent the fact that there are no parallel lines in elliptical geometry? the equator is not parallel to any other latitudinal lines. the north and south poles are never connected by a geodesic. the geodesics connecting the north and south poles never intersect. the geodesics connecting the north and south poles intersect at both of the poles.
