There are 59 eggs in the basket

Step-by-step explanation:

There are between 50 & 60 eggs in a basket

  • When Roza counts by 3's there are 2 leftover
  • When she counts by 5's there are 4 leftover

We need to find how many eggs in the basket

∵ When Roza counts by 3's there are 2 leftover

∵ When she counts by 5's there are 4 leftover

- That means the number of eggs when divided by 3 give

  remainder 2 and when divided by 5 give remainder 4

- To find the number look for the numbers that divisible by 5 and

  add 4 to them and then check the remainder when they divided

  by 3

∵ Between 50 and 60 there is only one number divisible by 5

  is 55 (not including 50 or 60)

∵ 55 + 4 = 59

∴ 59 gives remainder 4 when divided by 5

Let us check them with 3

∵ 59 - 2 = 57

∵ 57 is divisible by 3 ⇒ (57 ÷ 3 = 19)

∴ 59 when divide by 3 gives remainder 2

∴ 59 gives remainder 4 when divided by 5 and remainder 2 when

  divided by 3

∴ The number of eggs in the basket is 59

There are 59 eggs in the basket

B is a subset of A g Let set A = {a, b, c} and let set B = {b, c, d}<br> a. True <br> b. False
xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

A subset is a set whose elements belong to another set

If B is a subset of A, B would contain elements of A

For example,  A = {a, b, c} and if B is a subset of A , B = { a, b}

A random sample of 5120 permanent dwellings on an entire reservation showed that 1627 were traditional hogans.
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

a) \hat p=\frac{1627}{5120}=0.3178

b)The 99% confidence interval would be given by (0.301;0.355)

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Notation and definitions

X=1627 number of permanent dwellings on the entire reservation that are traditional hogans.

n=5120 random sample taken

\hat p=\frac{1627}{5120}=0.318 estimated proportion of permanent dwellings on the entire reservation that are traditional hogans.

p true population proportion of permanent dwellings on the entire reservation that are traditional hogans.

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".  

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.  

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".  

The population proportion have the following distribution

p \sim N(p,\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}})

Part a

The point of estimate for p=the proportion of all permanent dwellings on the entire reservation that are traditional hogans is given by:

\hat p=\frac{1627}{5120}=0.3178

Part b

In order to find the critical value we need to take in count that we are finding the interval for a proportion, so on this case we need to use the z distribution. Since our interval is at 99% of confidence, our significance level would be given by \alpha=1-0.99=0.01 and \alpha/2 =0.005. And the critical value would be given by:

z_{\alpha/2}=-2.58, z_{1-\alpha/2}=2.58

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:  

\hat p \pm z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{n}}

If we replace the values obtained we got:

0.318 - 2.58\sqrt{\frac{0.318(1-0.318)}{5120}}=0.301

0.318 + 2.58\sqrt{\frac{0.318(1-0.318)}{5120}}=0.335

The 99% confidence interval would be given by (0.301;0.355)
