A large university is interested in the outcome of a course standardization process. They have taken a random sample of 100 stud

ent grades, across all instructors. The grades represent the proportion of problems answered correctly on a midterm exam. The sample proportion correct was calculated as 0.78. a. Construct a 90% confidence interval on the population proportion of correctly answered problems. b. Construct a 95% confidence interval on the population proportion of correctly answered problems.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

Number of sample, n = 100

p = 0.78

q = 1 - p = 1 - 0.78

q = 0.22

For a confidence level of 90%, the corresponding z value is 1.645.

The formula for determining the error bound for the proportion is

z × √pq/n

= 1.645 ×√(0.78 × 0.22)/100

= 1.645 × 0.0414 = 0.068

The upper boundary of the population proportion is

0.78 + 0.068 = 0.85

The lower boundary of the population proportion is

0.78 - 0.068 = 0.71

b) For a confidence level of 95%, the corresponding z value is 1.96.

Therefore,

= 1.96 ×√(0.78 × 0.22)/100

= 1.96 × 0.0414 = 0.081

The upper boundary of the population proportion is

0.78 + 0.081 = 0.86

The lower boundary of the population proportion is

0.78 - 0.081 = 0.7

The heights of 18-year-old men are approximately normally distributed with mean 68 inches and standard deviation 3 inches. What
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

The probability that an 18-year-old man selected at random is greater than 65 inches tall is 0.8413.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the heights of 18-year-old men are approximately normally distributed with mean 68 inches and a standard deviation of 3 inches.

Let X = <u><em>heights of 18-year-old men.</em></u>

So, X ~ Normal(\mu=68,\sigma^{2} =3^{2})

The z-score probability distribution for the normal distribution is given by;

                              Z  =  \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}  ~ N(0,1)

where, \mu = mean height = 68 inches

           \sigma = standard deviation = 3 inches

Now, the probability that an 18-year-old man selected at random is greater than 65 inches tall is given by = P(X > 65 inches)

       P(X > 65 inches) = P( \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma} > \frac{65-68}{3} ) = P(Z > -1) = P(Z < 1)

                                                                = <u>0.8413</u>

The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 1 in the z table which has an area of 0.8413.

How do you find three consecutive even integers with a sum of -84. Please help!
mote1985 [20]
3 consecutive even integers : x, x + 2, x + 4

x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = -84.....combine like terms
3x + 6 = - 84.......subtract 6 from each side
3x = -84 - 6
3x = - 90...divide both sides by 3
x = -90/3
x = -30

x + 2 = -30 + 2 = -28
x + 4 = -30 + 4 = -26

so ur 3 numbers are : -26, -28, -30

The scatter plot below shows the relationship between the diameter (x), in mm, and mass f(x), in grams, of a berry: ordered pair
ivann1987 [24]
For this case the first thing we must observe is that the mass increases 0.4 grams when the diameter increases 1 millimeter.
 Therefore, the slope of the line is given by:
 m = 0.4
 Thus, the function that best suits the table is given by:
 f (x) = -4 + 0.4x
 For example, for x = 20 we have:
 f (20) = -4 + 0.4 (20)
 f (20) = -4 + 8
 f (20) = 4
 The result, matches the table.
 Answer:
 The function that is best represented by the scatter plot is: 
 f (x) = -4 + 0.4x
