ow. Before a final decision is made, network executives commission a sample of 400 viewers. After viewing the comedy, 250 indicated they would watch the new show and suggested it replace the crime investigation show.

Answer:

a) The population proportion is 0.625

b) The confidence interval is (0.578 , 0.672)

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the problem

- The Fox TV network is considering replacing one of its prime-time

  crime investigation shows with a new family-oriented comedy show

- There are 400 viewers

∴ The sample size is 400

- 250 of them indicated they would watch the new show and

  suggested it replace the crime investigation show

∴ The number of success is 250

∵ The population proportion P' = number of success/sample size

∴ P' = 250/400 = 0.625

a) The population proportion is 0.625

* Lets solve part b

- Develop a 95 percent confidence interval for the population

  proportion

∵ The confidence interval (CI) = P'(+/-)z*(\sqrt{\frac{P'(1-P')}{n}},

  where P' is the sample proportion, n is the sample size, and z*

  is the value from the standard normal distribution for the desired

  confidence level

∵ 95% z is 1.96

∴ z* = 1.96

∵ P' = 0.625

∵ n = 400

∵ \sqrt{\frac{P'(1-P')}{n}}=\sqrt{\frac{0.625(1-0.625)}{400}}=0.0242

∴ CI = 0.625 ± (1.96)(0.0242)

∴ CI = (0.625 - 0.047 , 0.625 + 0.047)

∴ CI = (0.578 , 0.672)

b) The confidence interval is (0.578 , 0.672)

Carla gets a 96% on a 50 question test . What what fraction of the answers did she get wrong?
LenKa [72]
Hello!

To find this out, figure out the amount of questions she got correct..

To get that number, multiply 96% as a decimal, (0.96) by 50.

0.96 * 50 = 48.

Turn 48 into fraction, (over 50)

48/50 is the answer.

Hope this helps!

Can someone please help me out? It would really make me happier if you did.
asambeis [7]

Answer:

B) 8 and 24.

Step-by-step explanation:

Just by looking at the answer choices, since one number must be three times the other, we can determine that the correct answer is B.

Regardless, let's work this out mathematically. Let the first number be <em>a</em> and the second number be <em>b</em>.

Their difference is 16. Hence:

a-b=16

The first number is three times the second number. So:

a=3b

Substitute:

3b-b=16

Solve for <em>b</em>. Subtract:

2b=16

And divide both sides by two:

b=8

So, the second number is 8.

And since the first number is three times the second, the first number is 24.

Our answer is B as expected.
