A study was conducted to determine if there was a difference in the driving ability of students from West University and East University by sending a survey to a sample of 100 students at both universities. Of the 100 sampled from West University, 15 reported they were involved in a car accident within the past year. Of the 100 randomly sampled students from East University, 12 students reported they were involved in a car accident within the past year. True or False. The difference in driving abilities at the two universities is statistically significant at the .05 significance level.

Answers

Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

Before testing the hypothesis, we need to understand the central limit theorem and subtraction of normal variables.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

For a proportion p in a sample of size n, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion will be approximately normal with mean [tex]\mu = p[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}[/tex]

Subtraction between normal variables:

When two normal variables are subtracted, the mean is the difference of the means, while the standard deviation is the square root of the sum of the variances.

West University:

15 out of 100, so:

[tex]p_W = \frac{15}{100} = 0.15[/tex]

[tex]s_W = \sqrt{\frac{0.15*0.85}{100}} = 0.0357[/tex]

East University:

12 out of 100, so:

[tex]p_E = \frac{12}{100} = 0.12[/tex]

[tex]s_E = \sqrt{\frac{0.12*0.88}{100}} = 0.0325[/tex]

Test the difference in driving abilities at the two universities:

At the null hypothesis we test if there is no difference, that is, the subtraction of the proportions is 0, so:

[tex]H_0: p_W - p_E = 0[/tex]

At the alternative hypothesis, we test if there is a difference, that is, if the subtraction of the proportions is different of 0. So

[tex]H_1: p_W - p_E \neq 0[/tex]

The test statistic is:

[tex]z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]

In which X is the sample mean, [tex]\mu[/tex] is the value tested at the null hypothesis, and s is the standard error.

0 is tested at the null hypothesis:

This means that [tex]\mu = 0[/tex]

From the two samples:

[tex]X = p_W - p_E = 0.15 - 0.12 = 0.03[/tex]

[tex]s = \sqrt{s_W^2+s_E^2} = \sqrt{0.0357^2+0.0325^2} = 0.0483[/tex]

Value of the test statistic:

[tex]z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]

[tex]z = \frac{0.03 - 0}{0.0483}[/tex]

[tex]z = 0.62[/tex]

P-value of the test and decision:

The p-value of the test is the probability that the proportions differ by at least 0.03, which is P(|z| > 0.62), that is, 2 multiplied by the p-value of z = -0.62.

Looking at the z-table, z = -0.62 has a p-value of 0.2676.

2*0.2676 = 0.5352.

The p-value of the test is 0.5352 > 0.05, which means that the difference in driving is not statistically significant at the .05 significance level, and thus the answer is False.

Find x. Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a degree.

Answers

Answer: x=52.6°

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the value of x, we have to use our SOHCAHTOA. We can eliminate sine and cosine because both uses hypotenuse, which is not labelled. Therefore, we use tangent.

[tex]tan(x)=\frac{17}{13}[/tex]

To find x, we want to use inverse tangent.

[tex]x=tan^{-1}(\frac{17}{13} )[/tex]      [plug into calculator]

[tex]x=52.6[/tex]

Now, we know that x=52.6°.

Part C: Describe the end behavior of the graph of f(x). Explain. (2 points)
Part D: What are the steps you would use to graph f(x)? Justify that you can use the answers obtained in Part B and Part C to draw the graph

Answers

Here we have the quadratic function:

f(x) = -16*x^2 + 60*x + 16

We can see that it is in standard form:

y = a*x^2 + b*x + c

a) First we want to completely factorize the function f(x).

To do it, we first need to find the roots of f(x).

Remember that for a generic quadratic equation:

a*x^2 + b*x + c = 0

whit roots x₁ and x₂, the factorized form is:

a*(x - x₁)*(x - x₂)

And the roots are given by:

[tex]x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4*a*c} }{2*a}[/tex]

Then for the case of f(x) = -16*x^2 + 60*x + 16, the roots are:

[tex]x = \frac{-60 \pm \sqrt{60^2 - 4*(-16)*16} }{2*(-16)} = \frac{-60 \pm 68}{-32}[/tex]

So the two roots are:

x₁ = (-60 + 68)/-32 = -0.25

x₂ = (-60 - 68)/-32 = 4

Then the factorized form is:

f(x) = -16*(x - 4)*(x + 0.25)

B) We already found the roots, which are:

x₁ =  -0.25

x₂ =  4

These are the x-intercepts:

(-0.25, 0) and (4, 0)

C) We can see that the leading coefficient is negative.

This means that the arms of the graph go downwards, so as |x| increases, the value of f(x) tends to negative infinity.

D) To graph f(x) we can find some of the points of the graph (like the x-intercepts and some more of them) and then connect them with a parabola curve, the graph that you will get is the one that you can see below.

Which of the following represents the factorization of the trinomial below?
- 4x3 - 4x2 +24 x
O A. -4(x2-2)(x+3)
B. -4(x2 + 2)(x+3)
O C. -4x(x + 2)(x+3)
D. -4x(x - 2)(x+3)

Answers

Answer:

D. -4x(x - 2)(x+3)

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following trinomial:

[tex]-4x^3 - 4x^2 + 24x[/tex]

-4x is the common term, so:

[tex]-4x(\frac{-4x^3}{-4x} - \frac{4x^2}{-4x^3} + \frac{24x}{-4x}) = -4x(x^2+x-6)[/tex]

The second degree polynomial can also be factored, finding it's roots.

Solving a quadratic equation:

Given a second order polynomial expressed by the following equation:

[tex]ax^{2} + bx + c, a\neq0[/tex].

This polynomial has roots [tex]x_{1}, x_{2}[/tex] such that [tex]ax^{2} + bx + c = a(x - x_{1})*(x - x_{2})[/tex], given by the following formulas:

[tex]x_{1} = \frac{-b + \sqrt{\Delta}}{2*a}[/tex]

[tex]x_{2} = \frac{-b - \sqrt{\Delta}}{2*a}[/tex]

[tex]\Delta = b^{2} - 4ac[/tex]

x² + x - 6

Quadratic equation with [tex]a = 1, b = 1, c = -6[/tex]

So

[tex]\Delta = 1^{2} - 4(1)(-6) = 25[/tex]

[tex]x_{1} = \frac{-1 + \sqrt{25}}{2} = 2[/tex]

[tex]x_{2} = \frac{-1 - \sqrt{25}}{2} = -3[/tex]

So

[tex]x^2 + x - 6 = (x - 2)(x - (-3)) = (x - 2)(x + 3)[/tex]

The complete factorization is:

[tex]-4x(x^2+x-6) = -4x(x - 2)(x + 3)[/tex]

Thus the correct answer is given by option d.

Answer:

The idea is to transform the expression by multiplying [tex](\sqrt{x + 1} - \sqrt{x})[/tex] with its conjugate, [tex](\sqrt{x + 1} + \sqrt{x})[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

For any real number [tex]a[/tex] and [tex]b[/tex], [tex](a + b)\, (a - b) = a^{2} - b^{2}[/tex].

The factor [tex](\sqrt{x + 1} - \sqrt{x})[/tex] is irrational. However, when multiplied with its square root conjugate [tex](\sqrt{x + 1} + \sqrt{x})[/tex], the product would become rational:

[tex]\begin{aligned} & (\sqrt{x + 1} - \sqrt{x}) \, (\sqrt{x + 1} + \sqrt{x}) \\ &= (\sqrt{x + 1})^{2} -(\sqrt{x})^{2} \\ &= (x + 1) - (x) = 1\end{aligned}[/tex].

The idea is to multiply [tex]\sqrt{x}\, (\sqrt{x + 1} - \sqrt{x})[/tex] by [tex]\displaystyle \frac{\sqrt{x + 1} + \sqrt{x}}{\sqrt{x + 1} + \sqrt{x}}[/tex] so as to make it easier to take the limit.

Since [tex]\displaystyle \frac{\sqrt{x + 1} + \sqrt{x}}{\sqrt{x + 1} + \sqrt{x}} = 1[/tex], multiplying the expression by this fraction would not change the value of the original expression.

[tex]\begin{aligned} & \lim\limits_{x \to \infty} \sqrt{x} \, (\sqrt{x + 1} - \sqrt{x}) \\ &= \lim\limits_{x \to \infty} \left[\sqrt{x} \, (\sqrt{x + 1} - \sqrt{x})\cdot \frac{\sqrt{x + 1} + \sqrt{x}}{\sqrt{x + 1} + \sqrt{x}}\right] \\ &= \lim\limits_{x \to \infty} \frac{\sqrt{x}\, ((x + 1) - x)}{\sqrt{x + 1} + \sqrt{x}} \\ &= \lim\limits_{x \to \infty} \frac{\sqrt{x}}{\sqrt{x + 1}+ \sqrt{x}}\end{aligned}[/tex].

The order of [tex]x[/tex] in both the numerator and the denominator are now both [tex](1/2)[/tex]. Hence, dividing both the numerator and the denominator by [tex]x^{(1/2)}[/tex] (same as [tex]\sqrt{x}[/tex]) would ensure that all but the constant terms would approach [tex]0[/tex] under this limit:

[tex]\begin{aligned} & \lim\limits_{x \to \infty} \sqrt{x} \, (\sqrt{x + 1} - \sqrt{x}) \\ &= \cdots\\ &= \lim\limits_{x \to \infty} \frac{\sqrt{x}}{\sqrt{x + 1}+ \sqrt{x}} \\ &= \lim\limits_{x \to \infty} \frac{\sqrt{x} / \sqrt{x}}{(\sqrt{x + 1} / \sqrt{x}) + (\sqrt{x} / \sqrt{x})} \\ &= \lim\limits_{x \to \infty}\frac{1}{\sqrt{(x / x) + (1 / x)} + 1} \\ &= \lim\limits_{x \to \infty} \frac{1}{\sqrt{1 + (1/x)} + 1}\end{aligned}[/tex].

By continuity:

[tex]\begin{aligned} & \lim\limits_{x \to \infty} \sqrt{x} \, (\sqrt{x + 1} - \sqrt{x}) \\ &= \cdots\\ &= \lim\limits_{x \to \infty} \frac{\sqrt{x}}{\sqrt{x + 1}+ \sqrt{x}} \\ &= \cdots \\ &= \lim\limits_{x \to \infty} \frac{1}{\sqrt{1 + (1/x)} + 1} \\ &= \frac{1}{\sqrt{1 + \lim\limits_{x \to \infty}(1/x)} + 1} \\ &= \frac{1}{1 + 1} \\ &= \frac{1}{2}\end{aligned}[/tex].

Answer:

Hello,
