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).

Can anybody help me with this? <br> This question is confusing and I don't get it.
Lunna [17]

Answer:

JH = 8, GH = 12, and GJ = 10.6

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Midsegment Theorem, a segment that connects the midpoints of two sides of a triangle is half the length of the third side.

GH = ½ DE

JH = ½ DF

GJ = ½ EF

DE is 24, so GH = 12.

JH is half of DF.  Since G is the midpoint of DF, DG is also half of DF.  So JH = DG = 8.

GJ is half of EF.  Since H is the midpoint of EF, HE is also half of EF.  So GJ = HE = 10.6.
