During a period of 11 years 737737 of the people selected for grand jury duty were​ sampled, and 6868​% of them were immigrants.

use the sample data to construct a​ 99% confidence interval estimate of the proportion of grand jury members who were immigrants. given that among the people eligible for jury​ duty, 69.469.4​% of them were​ immigrants, does it appear that the jury selection process was somehow biased against​ immigrants?

The formula to set out the lower and the upper margin of a confidence interval when given the proportion (no standard deviation) is

Lower margin = p - Z* √[(pq) ÷ n]
Upper margin  = p + Z* √[(pq) ÷ n]

Where:
p is the sample proportion
q is 1 - p
Z* is the z-score for the confidence level
n is the number size
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

p = (68% of 737) ÷ 737 = 501.16 ÷ 737 = 0.68
q = 1 - p = 1 - 0.68 = 0.32
Z* = 2.58 (refer to the table attached below)
n = 737 

substituting these values into the formula, we have

lower margin = 0.68 - (2.58) √[(0.68×0.32) ÷ 737]
lower margin = 0.68 - (2.58) √(0.0002952510176...)
lower margin = 0.68 - 0.04433180431
lower margin = 0.6357 (rounded to four decimal places)
lower margin = 63.57%

upper margin = 0.68 + 0.04433180431
upper margin = 0.7243 (rounded to four decimal places)
upper margin = 72.43%

The confidence interval is between 63.57% and 72.43%. In other words, we can say that between 63.57% and 72.43% of jury members are immigrant. 

The claim of 69.46% is within the confidence interval, hence we can conclude that the selection of grand jury duty is not biased against the immigrant.

torisob [31]

Answer:

B. 9,000,000,000

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information:

We are to determine the best estimate of the number of bottles sold this year and last year.

The best estimate means rounding up to the nearest whole number.

Given that:

7,234,267,990 bottles of water were purchased this year

2,000,900,999  bottles of water were purchased last year

The estimate of the bottles sold this year and last year from the above value is:

= 7,000,000,000 + 2,000,000,000

= 9,000,000,000
