Answer:

(0.4958, 0.7422)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p be the true proportion of water specimens that contain detectable levels of lead. The point estimate for p is \hat{p}=26/42=0.6190. The estimated standard deviation is given by \sqrt{\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})/n}=\sqrt{(0.6190)(1-0.6190)/42}=0.0749. Because we have a large sample, the 90% confidence interval for p is given by 0.6190\pm z_{0.05}0.0749 where z_{0.05}=1.6448 is the value that satisfies that above this and under the standard normal density there is an area of 0.05. So, the confidence interval is 0.6190\pm (1.6448)(0.0749), i.e., (0.4958, 0.7422).

In Class 1, what is the median score? A) 70 B) 70.5 C) 71.5 D) 72
evablogger [386]

Answer:

B)  70.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Median = middle value when the values are placed in order.

If there are two middle values, the median is the mean of those two values.

<u>Class 1</u>

45 46 51 52 53 53 61 63 64 65 66 68 70 <u>70 71</u> 73 76 77 79 81 82 83 84 87 90 92 93 95

There are 28 values in Class 1.

Therefore, there are two middle values: 14th and 15th values

14th value = 70

15th value = 71

\implies \textsf{Median}=\dfrac{70+71}{2}=70.5
