Answer:

95% confidence interval for the proportion of adults in the United States whose favorite sport to watch is football is [0.265 , 0.316].

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that in a simple random sample of 1219 US adults, 354 said that their favorite sport to watch is football.

Firstly, the pivotal quantity for 95% confidence interval for the proportion of adults in the United States whose favorite sport to watch is football is given by;

        P.Q. = \frac{\hat p-p}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } } ~ N(0,1)

where, \hat p = proportion of adults in the United States whose favorite sport to watch is football in a sample of 1219 adults = \frac{354}{1219}

           n = sample of US adults  = 1291

           p = population proportion of adults

<em>Here for constructing 95% confidence interval we have used One-sample z proportion statistics.</em>

So, 95% confidence interval for the population proportion, p is ;

P(-1.96 < N(0,1) < 1.96) = 0.95  {As the critical value of z at 2.5%

                                                    significance level are -1.96 & 1.96}

P(-1.96 < \frac{\hat p-p}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } } < 1.96) = 0.95

P( -1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } < {\hat p-p} < 1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } ) = 0.95

P( \hat p-1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } < p < \hat p+1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } ) = 0.95

<u>95% confidence interval for p</u> = [ \hat p-1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } , \hat p+1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } ]

                         = [ \frac{354}{1219}-1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\frac{354}{1219}(1-\frac{354}{1219})}{1219} } , \frac{354}{1219}+1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\frac{354}{1219}(1-\frac{354}{1219})}{1219} } ]

                         = [0.265 , 0.316]

Therefore, 95% confidence interval for the proportion of adults in the United States whose favorite sport to watch is football is [0.265 , 0.316].

Answer:

10

Step-by-step explanation:

10 workers working 2 hours a day is 2*10=20 work hours per day

2 workers working 5 hours a day is 2 *5=10 work hours per day

Per day 1/2 as many work hours so will take 2 times as long.

5*2 = 10 days

1. sin(x+20) = cos(2x+10)<br> 2. sin (2x+14) = cos(x-5)
lakkis [162]

Answer:

x=20°

2.

x=27°

Step-by-step explanation:

sin(x+20)=cos (2x+10)

=sin (90-(2x+10))

so x+20=90-(2x+10)

x+20+2x+10=90

3x=90-30

3x=60

x=60/3=20

2.

2x+14+x-5=90

3x+9=90

3x=90-9=81

x=81/3=27

A cylinder has a base radius of 4m and a height of 6m. What is its volume in cubic m, to the nearest tenths place?
Ronch [10]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

301.6 cubic meters

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

A cylinder is a shape with straight sides with circular or oval cross-sections. We know that the cylinder in the question must be a circular cylinder due to its radius description. 

Volume Formula

A circular cylinder has a volume of V=\pi r^2h. In this equation, V is the volume, r is the radius, and h is the height. The question tells us that r=4m and h=6m. So, we can plug these values into the formula.

Solving for Volume

To solve plug the values into the formula and rewrite the equation.

  • V=\pi *4^2*6

Next, apply the exponents.

  • V=\pi *16*6

Then, multiply the constants.

  • V=\pi *96

Finally, multiply the remaining terms. Remember to use the pi button on the calculator and not an estimation to get a more exact value.

  • V=301.6

Make sure your answer is rounded to the correct digit. This means that the volume must be 301.6 cubic meters.
