An amusement park would like to determine if they want to add in a new roller coaster. In order to decide whether or not they sh

ould add the new roller coaster, they poll people at the park to see how many rode the current roller coaster.
As people are leaving the park they randomly sample 600 people.
Out of the 600 people, 400 rode the roller coaster at the park.
Construct a 90% confidence interval to represent the proportion of riders who rode the roller coaster at the park. All conditions for inference have been met.

Using the z-distribution, it is found that the 90% confidence interval is given by: (0.6350, 0.6984).

<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 90% confidence level, hence\alpha = 0.9, z is the value of Z that has a p-value of \frac{1+0.9}{2} = 0.95, so the critical value is z = 1.645.

The sample size and the estimate are given by:

n = 600, \pi = \frac{400}{600} = 0.6667

Hence, the bounds of the interval are given by:

\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.6667 - 1.645\sqrt{\frac{0.6667(0.3333)}{600}} = 0.6350

\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.6667 + 1.645\sqrt{\frac{0.6667(0.3333)}{600}} = 0.6984

The 90% confidence interval is given by: (0.6350, 0.6984).

A car is traveling at a steady speed. It travels 2 1/2
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

It will travel

33 \frac{1}{4}  \: miles

in 45 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve using proportions.

\frac{ 2\frac{1}{2} \: miles}{ 3\frac{1}{3} \: minutes}  =  \frac{x}{45 \: minutes} \\  \\  \frac{ 3\frac{1}{3} x}{ 3\frac{1}{3} }  =   \frac{ 112\frac{1}{2} }{ 3\frac{1}{3} }    \\  \\  x = 33\frac{3}{4}

Write three numbers that round to 70 when rounded to the nearest ten
Trava [24]
The digit 7 is in the tens place so 74 will become either 70 or 80 after rounding off to the nearest ten. Draw a number line with 3 numbers on it: 70, 75 and 80. (Both possible rounded off numbers and the number in the middle.
