The u. s. department of transportation, national highway traffic safety administration, reported that 77% of all fatally injured automobile drivers were intoxicated. a random sample of 53 records of automobile driver fatalities in a certain county showed that 35 involved an intoxicated driver. do these data indicate that the population proportion of driver fatalities related to alcohol is less than 77% in kit carson county? use α = 0.05.

The p value obtained was a low value and using the significance level given we have so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the proportion of of driver fatalities related to alcohol is less from 0.77 or 77%.  

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Data given and notation n  

n=53 represent the random sample taken

X=35 represent the automobile driver fatalities in a certain county involved with an intoxicated driver

estimated proportion of automobile driver fatalities in a certain county involved with an intoxicated driver

is the value that we want to test

represent the significance level

Confidence=95% or 0.95

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

represent the p value (variable of interest)  

2) Concepts and formulas to use  

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to test the claim that the population proportion of driver fatalities related to alcohol is less than 77% or 0.77 in Kit Carson:  

Null hypothesis:  

Alternative hypothesis:  

When we conduct a proportion test we need to use the z statisitc, and the is given by:  

(1)  

The One-Sample Proportion Test is used to assess whether a population proportion is significantly different from a hypothesized value .

3) Calculate the statistic  

Since we have all the info requires we can replace in formula (1) like this:  

4) Statistical decision  

It's important to refresh the p value method or p value approach . "This methos is about determining "likely" or "unlikely" by determining the probability assuming the null hypothesis were true of observing a more extreme test statistic in the direction of the alternative hypothesis than the one observed". Or in other words is just a method to have an statistical decision to fail to reject or reject the null hypothesis.  

The significance level provided . The next step would be calculate the p value for this test.  

Since is an unilateral lower test the p value would be:  

So the p value obtained was a low value and using the significance level given we have so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the proportion of of driver fatalities related to alcohol is less from 0.77 or 77%.  

we'll this would mean that the dunk tank and the bounce house are the same for 20 hours because the 2 represents that the two activities, and the 20 represents the amount of hours they both are. so with this said, it means that the answer is c. the costs for a dunk tank and bounce house are the same for 20 hours.

c.the costs for a dunk tank and bounce house are the same for 20 hours.

hope this .
