A regional highway uses 8 tollbooths that are open to all vehicles. A chi-square goodness-of-fit test using a significance level of α=0.05 was conducted to determine whether the tollbooths are all used in equal proportions. A chi-square value of χ2=19.1 was calculated with a corresponding p-value of 0.008. Which of the following is correct? A. There is insufficient evidence to suggest that the tollbooths are not used in equal proportions.

B. There is insufficient evidence to suggest that the tollbooths are used in equal proportions.

C. There is sufficient evidence to suggest that the tollbooths are not used in equal proportions.

D. There is sufficient evidence to suggest that the tollbooths are used in equal proportions.

E. The tollbooths are used in equal proportions.

Step-by-step explanation:

You. We can get a few things

D.

Step-by-step explanation:

The p-value is 0.008 which is less than alpha (0.05), therefore you reject the null hypothesis and agree to the alternative, that there is sufficient evidence to suggest that the tollbooths are used in equal proportions.

the direct variation says that:

then the equation is of the form is given by:

            where k is the constant variation.

from the given table:

consider any value of x and m(x)=y

x = 2 and m(x)=y = 3

substitute these value in [1]; we have;

divide both sides by 2 we get;

⇒

check:

put x = -1 and m(x) = -1.5

substitute in the equation:

-1.5 = -1.5                   true

therefore, the function m(x) represents a direct variation
