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].

What is the volume of a right circular with a radius of 6 m and a height of 9 m
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

324 pi m^3

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a cylinder is given by

V = pi r^2h  where r is the radius and h is the height

V = pi (6)^2 9

V = pi (36)9

V =324 pi m^3
