Question 7Partially correct answer. Your answer is partially correct. Try again. An article in Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy (2005, Vol. 13, pp. 273-279), considered arthroscopic meniscal repair with an absorbable screw. Results showed that for tears greater than 25 millimeters, 13 of 19 repairs were successful while for shorter tears, 22 of 30 repairs were successful.(a) Is there evidence that the success rate is greater for longer tears

This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

An article in Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy (2005, Vol. 13, pp. 273-279), considered arthroscopic meniscal repair with an absorbable screw. Results showed that for tears greater than 25 millimeters, 13 of 19 repairs were successful while for shorter tears, 22 of 30 repairs were successful.

a) Is there evidence that the success rate is greater for longer tears? Use alpha=0.05

P-value = 0.6443

Now, since the p-value( 0.6443 ) is greater than the significance level (0.05), We fail to reject null hypothesis.

Therefore, there is no significant difference in the successive proportion ( rate ). ₁ =  ₂

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data in the question;

         Sample of tears greater than 25;

number of successive repairs X₁ = 13

number of repair n₁ = 19

proportion of successive repairs ₁ = 13/19 = 0.68

q₁ = 1 -  ₁ = 1 - 0.68 = 0.32

        Sample of tears shorter than 25;

number of successive repairs X₂ = 22

number of repair n₂ = 30

proportion of successive repairs ₂ = 22/30 = 0.73

q₂ = 1 -  ₂ = 1 - 0.73 = 0.27

so;

H₀ : There is no significant difference in the successive proportions;  ₁ =  ₂

Hₐ : The successive rate is greater for longer tears ₁ >

Significance level ∝ = 0.05

Test Statistics

Z =  (₁ -

so we substitute

Z =  ( 0.68 - 0.73 / √[ (0.68 ×0.32 / 19) + ( 0.73×0.27 / 30 ) ]

Z = -0.05 / √[ 0.01802 ]

Z = -0.05 / 0.1342

Z = -0.37  

P-value for the given test, p = P( Z > -0.37 )

= 1 - P( Z ≤ - 0.37 )

= 1 - 0.35569

P-value = 0.6443

Now, since the p-value( 0.6443 ) is greater than the significance level (0.05), We fail to reject null hypothesis.

Therefore, there is no significant difference in the successive proportion ( rate ). ₁ =  ₂

step-by-step explanation:

a.   since the profit made in 2012 is equal to the profit made in 2014, the profit is           symmetric about the line y = 120,000.

step-by-step explanation:

given that megan owns a clothing boutique.

the profits of 2010, 11, are recorded and shown as follows:

years since     2010 0     1     2     3       4       5

profits made in 1000's   39       84     111     120   111     84

we find that profit gradually increases form 2010 to 2013 upto 120,   then starts decreasing.

the profits for 2012 and 2014 are the same while that of 2011 and 2015 are also the same.

this shows that there is symmetry about the line profit = 120000

hence answer is:

a.   since the profit made in 2012 is equal to the profit made in 2014, the profit is           symmetric about the line y = 120,000.
