An article regarding interracial dating and marriage recently appeared in the Washington Post. Of the 1,709 randomly selected ad

ults, 315 identified themselves as Latinos, 323 identified themselves as blacks, 254 identified themselves as Asians, and 779 identified themselves as whites. In this survey, 86% of blacks said that they would welcome a white person into their families. Among Asians, 77% would welcome a white person into their families, 71% would welcome a Latino, and 66% would welcome a black person. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the percent of all black adults who would welcome a white person into their families:

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval for the percent of all black adults who would welcome a white person into their families is (0.8222, 0.8978).

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of \pi, and a confidence level of 1-\alpha, we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

In which

z is the zscore that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}.

For this problem, we have that:

323 blacks, 86% of blacks said that they would welcome a white person into their families. This means that n = 323, p = 0.86

95% confidence level

So \alpha = 0.05, z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{0.05}{2} = 0.975, so Z = 1.96.

The lower limit of this interval is:

\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.86 - 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.86*0.14}{323}} = 0.8222

The upper limit of this interval is:

\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.86 + 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.86*0.14}{323}} = 0.8978

The 95% confidence interval for the percent of all black adults who would welcome a white person into their families is (0.8222, 0.8978).

Please Help What is the value of the expression? −34+(1/10÷2/5)
sweet-ann [11.9K]
Regarding your (1/10 divided by 2/5):  I'm going to regard this as

(1/10) divided by (2/5).  

First, write 

 1
---         
10

Invert the fraction 2/5 and then multiply 1/10 by 5/2:

1(5)
-------- = 1/4, after reducing  5/10.
10(2)

Thus, <span>−34+(1/10÷2/5) yields -34 + 1/4, or   -33 3/4.</span>

If the length of a rectangle is 4 more than the width and if the perimeter of the rectangle is 52, what is the width of the rect
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

11

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter is figured out by adding all 4 sides.

Width of 11 + width 11 + length 15 + length 15 = 52

And the length of 15 is 4 more than the width of 11

6x−4y=−24<br> 4x−8y=−32 <br><br> What is the ordered pair for both of them?
denis23 [38]
Multiply the first equation by -2 to eliminate a variable so it becomes:
-12x+8y=48
4x-8y=-32
Add them together.
-8x=16
x=-2
Plug it in one equation.
6(2)-4y=-24
12-4y=-24
-4y=-12
y=3
Ordered pair is: (-2,3)
