Using the z-distribution, it is found that the 95% confidence interval for the proportion of college students who work to pay for tuition and living expenses is: (0.4239, 0.5161).

If we had increased the confidence level, the margin of error also would have increased.

<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. Increasing the confidence level, z also increases, hence the margin of error also would have increased.

The sample size and the estimate are given as follows:

n = 450, \pi = 0.47.

The lower and the upper bound of the interval are given, respectively, by:

\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.47 - 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.47(0.53)}{450}} = 0.4239

\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.47 + 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.47(0.53)}{450}} = 0.5161

The 95% confidence interval for the proportion of college students who work to pay for tuition and living expenses is: (0.4239, 0.5161).

The original cost of Sam’s investment is $10,000. After liquidating the investment, Sam calculated his real return to be $10,700
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

Return on investment (ROI) = 7%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Amount invested = $10,000

Total amount get (refund) = $10,700

Find:

Return on investment (ROI) = ?

Computation:

Amount Return = Total amount get (refund) - Amount invested

Amount Return = $10,700 - $10,000

Amount Return = $700

Return\ on\ investment \ (ROI) = [\frac{Amount\ Return}{Amount\ invested} ]100\\\\Return\ on\ investment \ (ROI) = [\frac{700}{10,000} ]100 \\\\ Return\ on\ investment \ (ROI) =7

Return on investment (ROI) = 7%
