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

Yuliya22 [10]

Your answer is the last option, 6.


We can work this out by looking for the total of people that like tennis in the table, and subtracting it from the total amount of people that like baseball.


This gives us a total of 46 people that like baseball, subtract 40 people that like tennis, and 46 - 40 = 6.


I hope this helps!

A parallel system functions whenever at least one of its components works. Consider a parallel system of 5 components, and suppo
Aneli [31]

Answer:

Probability that component 4 works given that the system is functioning = 0.434 .

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a parallel system functions whenever at least one of its components works.

There are parallel system of 5 components and each component works independently with probability 0.4 .

Let <em>A = Probability of component 4 working properly, P(A) = 0.4 .</em>

<em>Also let S = Probability that system is functioning for whole 5 components, P(S)</em>

Now, the conditional probability that component 4 works given that the system is functioning is given by P(A/S) ;

P(A/S) =  {Means P(component 4 working and system also working)

divided by P(system is functioning)}

  P(A/S) =  {In numerator it is P(component 4 working) and in

                denominator it is P(system working) = 1 - P(system is not working)}

Since we know that P(system not working) means that none of the components is working in system and it is given with the probability of 0.6 and since there are total of 5 components so P(system working) = 1 - 0.6^{5} .

 Hence, P(A/S) = \frac{0.4}{1 - 0.6^{5} } = 0.434.
