Among 21802180 passenger cars in a particular​ region, 246246 had only rear license plates. Among 302302 commercial​ trucks, 4444 had only rear license plates. A reasonable hypothesis is that commercial trucks owners violate laws requiring front license plates at a higher rate than owners of passenger cars. Use a 0.100.10 significance level to test that hypothesis.

Answer:

There is statistical evidence at 1% significance level to support that  commercial trucks owners violate laws requiring front license plates at a higher rate than owners of passenger cars.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that among 2180 passenger cars in a particular​ region, 246 had only rear license plates. Among 302 commercial​ trucks, 44 had only rear license plates.

                          Cars      Trucks   Total

Total                    2180      302       2482

X                             246       44         290

p                          0.1128     0.1457   0.1168

[tex]H_0:  p_1  = p_2\\H_a:   p_1 <p_2\\[/tex]

(left tailed test at 1% significance level)

Std error of p = [tex]\sqrt{\frac{0.1168*0.8832}{2482} } \\=0.0064[/tex]

Test statistic Z = p differnce/std error =

[tex]\frac{0.1128-0.1457}{0.0064} \\\\=-5.14[/tex]

p value <0.0001

Since p is less than 1% we reject null hypothesis

There is statistical evidence at 1% significance level to support that  commercial trucks owners violate laws requiring front license plates at a higher rate than owners of passenger cars.
