A simple random sample of 100 8th graders at a large suburban middle school indicated that 83% of them are involved with some ty

pe of after school activity. Find the 99% confidence interval that estimates the proportion of them that are involved in an after school activity. a) (0.733, 0.927) b) (0.653, 0.927) c) (0.633, 0.877) d) (0.783, 0.788) e) (0.733, 0.727) f) None of the above

Using the z-distribution, as we are working with a proportion, the 99% confidence interval is given by:

a) (0.733, 0.927).

<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 99% confidence level, hence\alpha = 0.99, z is the value of Z that has a p-value of \frac{1+0.99}{2} = 0.995, so the critical value is z = 2.575.

The other parameters are p = 0.83, n = 100, hence the bounds of the interval are given as follows.

\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.83 - 2.575\sqrt{\frac{0.83(0.17)}{100}} = 0.733

\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.83 + 2.575\sqrt{\frac{0.83(0.17)}{100}} = 0.927

Hence option a is correct.

Given the function h(x) = x2 – 7x + 6, determine the average rate of change of
guapka [62]

Step-by-step explanation:

the average rate of change between two input values is the total change of the function values (output values) divided by the change in the input values.

so,

(h(7) - (h(3)) / (7 - 3)

h(7) = 7² - 7×7 + 6 = 49 - 49 + 6 = 6

h(3) = 3² - 7×3 + 6 = 9 - 21 + 6 = -6

7 - 3 = 4

(6 - -6)/4 = 12/4 = 3

the average change rate in that interval is 3 (or fully 3/1).

8x + 6 - 2x = 34 x= ?
e-lub [12.9K]
8x + 6 - 2x = 34x

Simplify 8x +6 - 2x to 6x + 6:
6x + 6 = 34x

Subtract 6x from both sides:
6 = 34x- 6x

Simplify 34x - 6x to 28x:
6 = 28x

Divide both sides by 28:
\frac{6}{28} = x

Simplify \frac{6}{28} to \frac{3}{14} :
\frac{3}{14} = x

Now switch sides and the answer is:

x = \frac{3}{14}

What is the slope of a line that goes through the points (-1,2) and (1, 4)?
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

1

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the slope formula

m = ( y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

    = ( 4-2)/(1 - -1)

    = (4-2)/(1+1)

      = 2/2

    = 1
