Using the z-distribution, the 95% confidence interval for the percentage of red candies is of (7.84%, 33.18%). Since 33% is part of the interval, there is not enough evidence to conclude that the claim is wrong.

<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.

Researching this problem on the internet, 8 out of 39 candies are red, hence the sample size and the estimate are given by:

n = 39, \pi = \frac{8}{39} = 0.2051

Hence the bounds of the interval are:

  • \pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.2051 - 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.2051(0.7949)}{39}} = 0.0784
  • \pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.2051 + 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.2051(0.7949)}{39}} = 0.3318

As a percentage, the 95% confidence interval for the percentage of red candies is of (7.84%, 33.18%). Since 33% is part of the interval, there is not enough evidence to conclude that the claim is wrong.

(40 pts)can you factor the difference of square?perfect square trinomials?
stira [4]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference of two squares may be represented by the formula:  a^2-b^2,

which can be factored as (a+b)(a-b)

A perfect square trinomial may be represented by the formula: a^(2)-2ab+b^2 or  a^(2)+2ab+b^2, depending on the sign of b

if b is negative: use the formula a^(2)-2ab+b^2, which can be factored as (a-b)*(a-b) or (a-b)^(2)

if b is positive: use the formula a^(2)+2ab+b^2, which can be factored as (a+b)*(a+b) or (a+b)^(2)
