Over the course of a week, an environmental activist randomly stopped 1,200 people on the street and asked whether they were wil

ling to pay higher prices for gas in order to protect the environment. Out of the 1,200 people, 708 of them said they were willing to pay higher prices for gas. With a 99% confidence level (z*-score = 2.58), the activist wants to determine a confidence interval for the estimated proportion of people willing to pay higher prices for gas in order to protect the environment.

Sample Size = n = 1200
Number of people who are willing to pay higher = x = 708

Proportion of people who are willing to pay higher = p = \frac{708}{1200}= \frac{59}{100}=0.59

Confidence Level = 99%
Z Value =  z = 2.58

The confidence interval about a population proportion can be calculated as:

(p-z \sqrt{ \frac{p(1-p)}{n} }, p+z \sqrt{ \frac{p(1-p)}{n} })

Using the values, we get:

(0.59-2.58 \sqrt{ \frac{0.59(0.41)}{1200} } ,0.59+2.58 \sqrt{ \frac{0.59(0.41)}{1200} }) \\  \\ 
(0.553,0.627)

Thus, at 99% confidence level, the estimated proportion of people willing to pay higher prices for gas in order to protect the environment lies between 0.553 and 0.627.

There are 48 cards in a pack and each card is either red or black.
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Red:black = 1:1

Red cards = x

Black cards =x

x + x = 48

2x = 48

x = 48/2

x = 24

No. of red cards = 24

No of black cards = 24

Now 8 red cards are removed

So, No. of red cards = 24 - 8 =16

Red: Black = 16:24

=\frac{16}{24}=\frac{2}{3}

Red: Black = 2:3

A 50 coat is put on sale for 35 <br> What percent is the decrease?
IRISSAK [1]

so the coat went down from 50 to 35, namely 15.

if we take 50 to be the 100%, what is 15 off of it in percentage?


\bf \begin{array}{ccll} aount&\%\\ \cline{1-2} 50&100\\ 15&x \end{array}\implies \cfrac{50}{15}=\cfrac{100}{x}\implies \cfrac{10}{3}=\cfrac{100}{x} \\\\\\ 10x=300\implies x=\cfrac{300}{10}\implies x=30
