Some transportation experts claim that it is the variability of speeds, rather than the level of speeds, that is a critical factor in determining the likelihood of an accident occurring (Update, Virginia Department of Transportation, Winter 2000). One of the experts claims that driving conditions are dangerous if the variance of speeds exceeds 75 (mph)2. On a heavily traveled highway, a random sample of 55 cars revealed a mean and a variance of speeds of 62.5 mph and 94.7(mph)2, respectively. (You may find it useful to reference the appropriate table: chi-square table or F table)
1. Set up the competing hypothesis to test wxpert,s claim.
2. At the 5% significance level find the critical value and state the decision rule.
3. Can you conclude that driving conditions are dangerous on this highway? explain.

Answer:

Explained below.

Step-by-step explanation:

The claim made by an expert is that driving conditions are dangerous if the variance of speeds exceeds 75 (mph)².

(1)

The hypothesis for both the test can be defined as:

H₀: The variance of speeds does not exceeds 75 (mph)², i.e. σ² ≤ 75.

Hₐ: The variance of speeds exceeds 75 (mph)², i.e. σ² > 75.

(2)

A Chi-square test will be used to perform the test.

The significance level of the test is, α = 0.05.

The degrees of freedom of the test is,

df = n - 1 = 55 - 1 = 54

Compute the critical value as follows:

[tex]\chi^{2}_{\alpha, (n-1)}=\chi^{2}_{0.05, 54}=72.153[/tex]

Decision rule:

If the test statistic value is more than the critical value then the null hypothesis will be rejected and vice-versa.

(3)

Compute the test statistic as follows:

[tex]\chi^{2}=\frac{(n-1)\times s^{2}}{\sigma^{2}}[/tex]

    [tex]=\frac{(55-1)\times 94.7}{75}\\\\=68.184[/tex]

The test statistic value is, 68.184.

Decision:

[tex]cal.\chi^{2}=68.184<\chi^{2}_{0.05,54}=72.153[/tex]

The null hypothesis will not be rejected at 5% level of significance.

Conclusion:

The variance of speeds does not exceeds 75 (mph)². Thus, concluding that driving conditions are not dangerous on this highway.

Consider the sequence of steps to solve the equation:
7x
5(x - 3) =
Step 1 = 10(x - 3) = 7x
Step 2 = 10x - 30 = 7x
Step 3 = 3x - 30 = 0
Step 4 = 3x = 30
Step 5 = x= 10

In an effort to make children’s toys safer and more tamperproof, toy packaging has become cumbersome for parents to remove in many cases. Accordingly, the director of marketing at Toys4Tots, a large toy manufacturer, wants to evaluate the effectiveness of a new packaging design that engineers claim will reduce customer complaints by more than 10 percentage points. Customer satisfaction surveys were sent to 220 parents who registered toys packaged under the old design and 220 parents who registered toys packaged under the new design. Of these, 86 parents expressed dissatisfaction with packaging of the old design, and 41 parents expressed dissatisfaction with packaging of the new design.
Let p1 represent the population proportion of parents that expressed dissatisfaction with the packaging of the old design and p2 represent the population proportion of parents that expressed dissatisfaction with the packaging of the new design.
A. Specify the null and alternative hypotheses to test for whether the proportion of customer complaints has decreased by more than 5% under the new packaging design.
1. H0 : p1 - p2 < 0.10; HA : p1 - p2 > 0.10
2. H0 : p1 - p2 = 0.10; HA : p1 - p2 is not equal to 0.10
3. H0 : p1 - p2 > 0.10; HA : p1 - p2 < 0.10
B. What is the value of the test statistic and the associated p-value?
C. At the 1% significance level, do the results support the engineers' claim?
D. At the 10% significance level, do the results support the engineers' claim?
