Explanation Given info: A study was conducted between texting while driving and irregular seat belt usage. The results are given below: Irregular Seat Belt Usage Yes No Texting While Driving 1,737 2,048 No Texting While Driving 1,945 2,775 Calculation: The claim is to test whether texting while driving is independent of irregular seat belt usage. If the claim is false, then there is a dependency between texting while driving and irregular seat belt usage. The hypotheses are given below: Null hypothesis: H 0 : Texting while driving is independent of irregular seat belt usage. Alternative hypothesis: H 1 : Texting while driving is dependent of irregular seat belt usage. The test statistic is calculated by using the below formula. χ 2 = ∑ ( O − E ) 2 E Where, O represents the observed frequency and E represents the expected frequency Row total, column total and grand total are given as follows: Irregular Seat Belt Usage Yes No Row total Texting While Driving 1,737 2,048 3,785 No Texting While Driving 1,945 2,775 4,720 Column total 3,682 4,823 8,505 Expected frequency is calculated by using the formula E = ( Row total ) ( Column total ) ( Grand total ) Where, row total represents the sum of the frequencies along each row, the column total represents the sum of the frequencies along each column and the grand total represents the sum of all frequencies. Expected frequency for the cell E 11 E 11 = ( Row total ) ( Column total ) ( Grand total ) = ( 3 , 785 ) ( 3 , 682 ) ( 1 , 737 + 2 , 048 + 1 , 945 + 2 , 775 ) = 13 , 936 , 370 8 , 505 = 1 , 638.6 Expected frequency for the cell E 12 E 12 = ( Row total ) ( Column total ) ( Grand total ) = ( 3 , 785 ) ( 4 , 823 ) ( 1 , 737 + 2 , 048 + 1 , 945 + 2 , 775 ) = 18 , 255 , 055 8 , 505 = 2 , 146.4 Expected frequency for the cell E 21 E 21 = ( Row total ) ( Column total ) ( Grand total ) = ( 4 , 720 ) ( 3 , 682 ) ( 1 , 737 + 2 , 048 + 1 , 945 + 2 , 775 ) = 17 , 379 , 040 8 , 505 = 2 , 043

Why the correct answer is letter A? Students in an online course are each randomly assigned to receive either standard practice exercises or adaptivepractice exercises. For the adaptive practice exercises, the next question asked is determined by whether the studentgot the previous question correct. The teacher of the course wants to determine whether there is a differencebetween the two practice exercise types by comparing the proportion of students who pass the course from eachgroup. The teacher plans to test the null hypothesis that versus the alternative hypothesis , whererepresents the proportion of students who would pass the course using standard practice exercises andrepresents the proportion of students who would pass the course using adaptive practice exercises.The teacher knows that the percent confidence interval for the difference in proportion of students passing thecourse for the two practice exercise types (standard minus adaptive) is and the percent…
