Using the z-distribution, it is found that the 95% confidence interval for the proportion of sales that occured in December is (0.1648, 0.2948).

<h3>What is a confidence interval of proportions?</h3>

A confidence interval of proportions is given by:

\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

In which:

  • \pi is the sample proportion.
  • z is the critical value.
  • n is the sample size.

In this problem, we have a 95% confidence level, hence\alpha = 0.95, z is the value of Z that has a p-value of \frac{1+0.95}{2} = 0.975, so the critical value is z = 1.96.

The sample size and the estimate are given by:

n = 161, \pi = \frac{37}{161} = 0.2298

Hence:

\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.2298 - 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.2298(0.7702)}{161}} = 0.1648

\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.2298 + 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.2298(0.7702)}{161}} = 0.2948

The 95% confidence interval for the proportion of sales that occured in December is (0.1648, 0.2948).

If you save $3,000 at an interest rate of
juin [17]
Amount earned in compound interest = P(1 + r)^n; where P is the principal, r is the rate and n is the number of periods.

Amount = 3,000(1 + 14%)^6 = 3,000(1 + 0.14)^6 = 3,000(1.14)^6 = $6,584.91

Can I have help with the question
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

Midpoint = (3.5, 4.5)

Perpendicular bisector = y =  \frac{7}{9} x + \frac{16}{9}

Step-by-step explanation:

[] We can solve this using the midpoint formula:

-> See attached

[] Plug-in our coordinates and solve:

(\frac{7+0}{2} ,\frac{0+9}{2} )=(\frac{7}{2} ,\frac{9}{2} )=(3.5,4.5 )

[] Now we will find the slope to solve for the perpendicular bisector.

-> We will use slope-intercept form, see attached

\frac{9-0}{0-7}=\frac{9}{-7}

-> The slopes of two perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals of each other, so \frac{7}{9} will be the slope of or perpendicular bisector

-> Now we can solve for the equation by using y – y1 = m ( x – x1), were y1 and x1 are the coordinates of our midpoint

y - 4.5 = \frac{7}{9} (x-3.5)

y - 4.5 = \frac{7}{9} x-\frac{49}{18}

y = \frac{7}{9} x-\frac{49}{18} + 4.5

y =  \frac{7}{9} x + \frac{16}{9}

Have a nice day!

     I hope this is what you are looking for, but if not - comment! I will edit and update my answer accordingly. (ノ^∇^)
