It seems to you that fewer than half of people who are registered voters in the City of Madison do in fact vote when there is an
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

a) Going to public places like restaurants, parks, theaters, etc in Madison and asking voters.

b) The 80% CI to estimate the true proportion of registered voters in the City of Madison who vote in non-presidential elections is (0.5533, 0.6667).

c) We are 80% sure that our confidence interval contains the true proportion of registered voters in the City of Madison who vote in non-presidential elections.

d) The lower limit of the interval is higher than 0.5. This means that it does seem that MORE than half of registered voters in the City of Madison vote in non-presidential elections.

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 interval 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}.

(a) How might a simple random sample have been gathered?

Going to public places like restaurants, parks, theaters, etc in Madison and asking voters.

(b) Construct an 80% CI to estimate the true proportion of registered voters in the City of Madison who vote in non-presidential elections.

You take an SRS of 200 registered voters in the City of Madison, and discover that 122 of them voted in the last non-presidential election. This means that n = 200, \pi = \frac{122}{200} = 0.61.

We want to build an 80% CI, so \alpha = 0.20, z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{0.20}{2} = 0.90[tex], so [tex]z = 1.645.

The lower limit of this interval is:

\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{200}} = 0.61 - 1.645\sqrt{\frac{0.61*0.39}{200}} = 0.5533

The upper limit of this interval is:

\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{200}} = 0.61 + 1.645\sqrt{\frac{0.61*0.39}{200}} = 0.6667

The 80% CI to estimate the true proportion of registered voters in the City of Madison who vote in non-presidential elections is (0.5533, 0.6667).

(c) Interpret the interval you created in part (b).

We are 80% sure that our confidence interval contains the true proportion of registered voters in the City of Madison who vote in non-presidential elections.

(d) Based on your CI, does it seem that fewer than half of registered voters in the City of Madison vote in non-presidential elections? Explain.

The lower limit of the interval is higher than 0.5. This means that it does seem that MORE than half of registered voters in the City of Madison vote in non-presidential elections.

Need help on 11, 12, and 13
Sati [7]
11. is 25°
(Both triangles have two congruent angles which means the 3rd angle is bound to be the same. Just add the 90° and the 65° to get 155 and subtract from 180° because all triangles equal 180°)
12. is 25°
(Same as before, two of the angles are congruent so the third one is the same. Add all of the angles together and have them equal 180° because their is a variable present. 2x+60+70=180 or 2x+130=180. subtract 130 from both sides to get the equation 2x=50 and then divide both sides by 2 to get x=25.)
13. y=14 and x=11.6 (assuming m<d says 15x ÷ 2 because I couldn't really read it)
(m<a = m<d and m<b = m<e because they are lined up together in the ABC and DEF equation. so 3y=42 and (15x÷2=87)
