The records of a casualty insurance company show that, in the past, its clients have had a mean of 1.7 auto accidents per day with a standard deviation of 0.06. The actuaries of the company claim that the standard deviation of the number of accidents per day is no longer equal to 0.06. Suppose that we want to carry out a hypothesis test to see if there is support for the actuaries' claim. State the null hypothesis H, and the alternative hypothesis H, that we would use for this test. Ho H¡: 0 O

Consider a population proportion p = 0.20. a. What are the expected value and the standard error for the sampling distribution of the sample proportion with n = 20 and n = 58? Note: Round the standard error to 4 decimal places. Answer is complete and correct. n Expected value Standard error 20 58 0.20 0.20 0.0894 0.0525 b. Can you conclude that the sampling distribution of the sample proportion is approximately normally distributed for both sample sizes? Yes, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion is normally distributed for both sample sizes. No, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion is not normally distributed for either sample size. No, only the sample proportion with n = 20 will have a normal distribution. No, only the sample proportion with n = 58 will have a normal distribution. c. If the sampling distribution of the sample proportion is normally distributed with n = 20, then calculate the probability that the sample proportion is between 0.18 and 0.20.…
