$2x+3=3x-4 \ \ \ |-3x \ \wedge \ -3 \\ \\ -x=-7 \\ \\ x=7$

2x+3=3x-4
try to isolate the x term
you must do the same thing to both sides or else it won't be equal anymore

2x+3=3x-4
add 4 to both sides
2x+3+4=3x+4-4
2x+7=3x+0
subtract 2x from both sides
2x-2x+7=3x-2x
0+7=x
7=x

the answer is x=7

Jane wants to estimate the proportion of students on her campus who eat cauliflower. After surveying 24 students, she finds 2 w

Answer:

A 95% confidence interval for the proportion of students who eat cauliflower on Jane's campus is [0.012, 0.270].

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Jane wants to estimate the proportion of students on her campus who eat cauliflower. After surveying 24 students, she finds 2 who eat cauliflower.

Firstly, the pivotal quantity for finding the confidence interval for the population proportion is given by;

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

where, $\hat p$ = sample proportion of students who eat cauliflower

n = sample of students

p = population proportion of students who eat cauliflower

Here for constructing a 95% confidence interval we have used a One-sample z-test for proportions.

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% level

of significance 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

Now, in Agresti and Coull's method; the sample size and the sample proportion is calculated as;

$n = n + Z^{2}__(\frac{_\alpha}{2})$

n = $24 + 1.96^{2}$ = 27.842

$\hat p = \frac{x+\frac{Z^{2}__(\frac{\alpha}{2}_) }{2} }{n}$ = $\hat p = \frac{2+\frac{1.96^{2} }{2} }{27.842}$ = 0.141

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

= [ $0.141 -1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{0.141(1-0.141)}{27.842} } }$ , $0.141 +1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{0.141(1-0.141)}{27.842} } }$ ]

= [0.012, 0.270]

Therefore, a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of students who eat cauliflower on Jane's campus [0.012, 0.270].

The interpretation of the above confidence interval is that we are 95% confident that the proportion of students who eat cauliflower on Jane's campus is between 0.012 and 0.270.
