Answer:
Riley divided the number of petunia seeds by the number of begonia seeds, getting . What you actually need to do to calculate the probability of selecting a petunia seed is divide the number of petunia seeds by the <em>total</em> number of seeds. 5 petunia seeds and 15 begonia seeds makes 20 total seeds, so you divide 5 petunia seeds by 20 total seeds to get

Answer:
a) Failed to reject the null hypothesis (P-value=0.09).
b) The 95% CI for the difference in proportions is:
Step-by-step explanation:
a) We have to perform a hypothesis test for the difference of proportions.
The null and alternative hypothesis are:
The significance level is 0.05.
The proportion of the passenger cars owners is:
The proportion of commercial truck owners is:
The weigthed average p is
The estimated standard deviation is
We can calculate the z-value as:
The P-value for z=-1.362 is P=0.0866.
The P-value (0.09) is greater than the significance level (0.05), so it failed to reject the null hypothesis. There is no enough evidence to prove that commercial trucks owners violate laws requiring front license plates at a higher rate than owners of passenger cars.
b) We can construct a 95% CI, according to the significance level of 0.05.
The z-value for this CI is 1.96.
We have to recalculate the standard deviation:
The lower limit is then:
The upper limit is:
The 95% CI for the difference in proportions is:
In this case, we can conclude that the difference between the proportions, with 95% confidence, can still be equal or greater than zero, meaning that it is possible passenger car owners violate laws more than truck owners.
