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.

For the function f(x)=3x−4 , what is the ordered pair for the point on the graph when x=6 ? Show work for full credit.
Ksivusya [100]

To find the ordered pair, we simply set the x value equal to 6.

We already know the first coordinate will be 6.

f(6) = 3(6) - 4

f(6) = 18 - 4

f(6) = 14

<h3><u>The y value is 14, and so our coordinate pair is (6, 14)</u></h3>

ASAP Please help. Thank You!!! :)

#25.
Convert the fractional numbers into decimals for easier comparison.
3 2/3 is approximately 3.66
-4 2/5 is approximately -4.4
We now have: 3, 3.66, -4.2, -4.4
In order: -4 2/5, -4.2, 3, 3 2/3

#26.
All positive numbers are greater than negative numbers.
When comparing two negative numbers, the one with the larger absolute value, will be less.
So (G) is correct

#27. 
25 = m + 6.3
25 - 6.3 = m + 6.3 - 6.3
m = 18.7

#28.
h = 3.2-1.6 = 1.6

#29.
x = 15.6 - 9.8 = 5.8

#30
p = 17 - 4.5 = 12.5

To the nearest tenth, what is the area of the figure shown in the image? Segment BF is a line of symmetry of the pentagon ABCDE.
Sidana [21]

Answer:

C, 39.3 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets first find the area of the rectangle part of the house.

To find the area of a rectangle its base × height.

So its 6×4=24 in².

Now lets find the area of the top triangle.

Area for a triangle is (base × height)/2.

The height is 3 inches, because its 7-4. While the base is 6 inches.

(6×3)/2=9 in².

To find the area of the half circle the formula, (piR²)/2.

The radius of the circle is 2 because its half of the diamter which is 4.

(pi2²)/2=6.283 in².

Now we just need to add up the area of every part,

24+9+6.283=39.283in²
