Of 580580 samples of seafood purchased from various kinds of food stores in different regions of a country and genetically compa

red to standard gene fragments that can identify the​ species, 2525​% were mislabeled. ​
a) Construct a 9999​% confidence interval for the proportion of all seafood sold in the country that is mislabeled or misidentified.

​b) Explain what your confidence interval says about seafood sold in the country. ​

c) A government spokesperson claimed that the sample size was too​ small, relative to the billions of pieces of seafood sold each​ year, to generalize. Is this criticism​ valid?

Answer:

a) The 99% confidence interval would be given (0.204;0.296).

b) We have 99% of confidence that the true population proportion of all seafood sold in the country that is mislabeled or misidentified is between (0.204;0.296).  

c) No that's not true. Because the necessary assumptions and conditions for the confidence interval for the proportion are satisifed, so then we can use inferential statistics to interpret the interval to the population of interest.

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a

Data given and notation  

n=580 represent the random sample taken    

X represent the seafood sold in the country that is mislabeled or misidentified by the people

\hat p=0.25 estimated proportion of seafood sold in the country that is mislabeled or misidentified by the people

\alpha=0.01 represent the significance level (no given, but is assumed)    

p= population proportion of seafood sold in the country that is mislabeled or misidentified by the people

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The population proportion have the following distribution

p \sim N(p,\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}})

The confidence interval would be given by this formula

\hat p \pm z_{\alpha/2} \sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}

For the 99% confidence interval the value of \alpha=1-0.99=0.01 and \alpha/2=0.005, with that value we can find the quantile required for the interval in the normal standard distribution.

z_{\alpha/2}=2.58

And replacing into the confidence interval formula we got:

0.25 - 2.58 \sqrt{\frac{0.25(1-0.25)}{580}}=0.204

0.25 + 2.58 \sqrt{\frac{0.25(1-0.25)}{580}}=0.296

And the 99% confidence interval would be given (0.204;0.296).

Part b

We have 99% of confidence that the true population proportion of all seafood sold in the country that is mislabeled or misidentified is between (0.204;0.296).  

Part c

A government spokesperson claimed that the sample size was too​ small, relative to the billions of pieces of seafood sold each​ year, to generalize. Is this criticism​ valid?

No that's not true. Because the necessary assumptions and conditions for the confidence interval for the proportion are satisifed, so then we can use inferential statistics to interpret the interval to the population of interest.

Answer:

Temperature in °F = 160°F

Step-by-step explanation:

Temperature can be defined as a measure of the degree of coldness or hotness of a physical object. It is measured with a thermometer and its units are Celsius (°C), Kelvin (K) and Fahrenheit (°F).

Given the following data;

Temperature in Celsius = 25°C

To convert celsius to fahrenheit, we would use the following formula;

Temperature in °F = (5 x temperature in °C + 32°)

Substituting into the formula, we have;

Temperature in °F = (5 x 25 + 32°)

Temperature in °F = (125 + 32°)

Temperature in °F = 157

To the nearest 10°F;

Temperature in °F = 160°F
