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

Melissa earns a 2% commission on the first $750 of sales she makes each week. She earns a 3% commission on the amount of her sal
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

0.02(750)+0.03(x−750)=37.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Melissa earns a 2% commission on the first $750 of sales

= 0.02(750)

She earns a 3% commission on the amount of her sales that are greater than $750 each week

let the amount of her sales be x

= 0.03(750-x)

Melissa earned $37.50 in commissions last week.

= $37.5

Her total earnings is $37.5

37.5= 0.02(750)+ 0.03(x-750)

37.5= 15+0.03x- 22.5

37.5-15+22.5= 0.03x

45= 0.03x

x= 45/0.03

x= 1500

The water works commission needs to know the mean household usage of water by the residents of a small town in gallons per day.
valina [46]

Answer:

A sample of 179 is needed.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our \alpha level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

\alpha = \frac{1 - 0.85}{2} = 0.075

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of 1 - \alpha.

That is z with a pvalue of 1 - 0.075 = 0.925, so Z = 1.44.

Now, find the margin of error M as such

M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

In which \sigma is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

A previous study found that for an average family the variance is 1.69 gallon?

This means that \sigma = \sqrt{1.69} = 1.3

If they are using a 85% level of confidence, how large of a sample is required to estimate the mean usage of water?

A sample of n is needed, and n is found for M = 0.14. So

M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

0.14 = 1.44\frac{1.3}{\sqrt{n}}

0.14\sqrt{n} = 1.44*1.3

\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.44*1.3}{0.14}

(\sqrt{n})^2 = (\frac{1.44*1.3}{0.14})^2

n = 178.8

Rounding up

A sample of 179 is needed.

Adriana is planning to ride the public bus to and from school this year. She wants to figure out how much it will cost her. The
lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

C is the dependent variable and r is independent

Step-by-step explanation:

Adriana can ride the bus any number of times she wants. No one is stopping her from doing that so 'r' becomes an independent quantity.

Whereas, the total cost for the bus rides depends on the number of times Adriana rides the bus and the relation is given as, C=1.25r

This is because it costs $1.25 each time she rides the bus in one direction
