In a survey of 1118 U.S. adults conducted in 2012 by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, 810 said they always pay their

credit cards in full each month. Construct a 99.8% confidence interval for the proportion of U.S. adults who pay their credit cards in full each month. Round the answers to three decimal places. A 99% confidence ineral for the proportion of U.S. adults who pay their credit cards in full each month is ____________< p < ________________

Answer:

99.8% confidence:

[0.6833, 0.7656]

99% confidence:

0.6902 < p < 0.7588

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets call p the probability that a U.S adult pay its credit catrd in full each month. Lets call Y the random variable that counts the total of persons that paid their credit card in full from a random sample of 1118 adults. Y is a random variable with distribution Y ≈ Bi(1118,p) . The expected value of Y is μ = 1118*p and its variance is σ² = 1118*p(1-p). The proportion of adults that paid their credit card is a random variable, lets call it X, obtained from Y by dividing by 1118. The expected value is p and the variance is p(1-p)/1118. The Central Limit Theorem states that X can be approximated by a random variable with Normal Distribution, with mean μ = p, and standard deviation σ = √(p(1-p)/1118).

The standarization of X, W, is a random variable with distribution (approximately) N(0,1) obtained from X by substracting μ and dividing by σ. Thus

W = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma} = \frac{X - p}{\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{1118}}}

If we want a 99.8% confidence interval, then we can find a value Z such that P(-Z < W < Z) = 0.998. If we do so, then P(W < Z) = 0.999, therefore, Ф(Z) = 0.999, were Ф is the cummuative distribution function of the standard normal distribution. The values of Ф can be found on the attached file. We can find that Ф(3.08) = 0.999, thus, Z = 3.08.

We have that P(-3.08 < W < 3.08) = 0.998, in other words

P(-3.08 < \frac{X-p}{\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{1118}}} < 3.08) = 0.998

P(-3.08 * \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{1118}} < X-p < 3.08 * \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{1118}}) = 0.998

P(-X -3.08 * \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{1118}} < -p < -X + 3.08 * \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{1118}}) = 0.998

Taking out the - sign from the -p and reversing the inequalities, we finally obtain

P(X -3.08 * \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{1118}} < p < X + 3.08 * \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{1118}}) = 0.998

As a conclusion, replacing p by its approximation X, a 99.8% confidence interval for p is

[X -3.08 * \sqrt{\frac{X(1-X)}{1118}}\, ,  \, X + 3.08 * \sqrt{\frac{X(1-X)}{1118}}]

replacing X with the proportion of the sample, 810/1118 = 0.7245, we have that our confidence interval is

[0.7245 -3.08 * \sqrt{\frac{0.7245(1-0.7245)}{1118}}\, ,  \, 0.7245 + 3.08 * \sqrt{\frac{0.7245(1-0.7245)}{1118}}]

By solving the fraction and multypling by 3.08, we have

[0.7245 - 0.0411 < p < 0.7245 + 0.0411]

FInally, the 99.8 % confidence interval for p is

[0.6833, 0.7656]

If p is 0.99 (99% confidence), then we would want Z such that Ф(Z) = 0.995, by looking at the table we have that Z is 2.57, therefore the 99% interval for p is

[X -2.57 * \sqrt{\frac{X(1-X)}{1118}}\, ,  \, X + 2.57 * \sqrt{\frac{X(1-X)}{1118}}]

and, by replacing X by 0.7245 we have that  the 99% confidence interval is

[0.6902, 0.7588]

thus, 0.6902 < p < 0.7588

I hope i could help you!

A necktie costing $30.00 per dozen and selling for $5 each (be careful- find the cost of one tie before you subtract.) 0.25 2.50
Vikki [24]
Here is the answer to the problem above. Given that a necktie is sold per dozen and costs $30.00 and sells it for $5. In order for us to know the price per necktie, we just have to divide 30 by 12 since one dozen is 12. 30 divided by 12, and the answer is 2.5. So the cost of one tie is $2.5. Hope this answers your question.

For the function: y = x² + 4

  • y intercept: (0, 4)
  • x intercept: None
  • vertex: (0, 4)

For the function: x² - 4

  • y intercept: (0, -4)
  • x intercept: (-2, 0) and (2, 0)
  • vertex: (0, -4)

For the function: 1 - x²

  • y intercept: 1
  • x intercept: (1, 0) and (-1, 0)
  • vertex: (0, 1)

Conclusion:

green line = x² + 4;  blue line = x² - 4; black line = 1 -x²
