Answer: 0.015625
Step-by-step explanation:
i noticed the pattern. it is getting divided by 2 each time. so, i just divided each new number by 2 and got 0.015625.
To solve this equation, start by noticing that you want to find t when P is 75%, or 0.75. Plug in 0.75 for P. Please see the attached screenshot for a step-by-step. The correct answer is 29.496 days.
EDIT 2: I actually was correct! You check the answer by substituting 29.496 for t in the original equation set equal to 0.75. It is 0.75. I had forgotten the negative sign when I checked.
Answer:
no Luke is not correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
31/40
replace 77.5 with 775/10
simplify to get 155/2
divide by 100 to get 31/40
Complete question :
Two researchers, Jaime and Mariya, are each constructing confidence intervals for the proportion of a population who is left-handed. They find the point estimate is 0.13. Each independently constructed a confidence interval based on the point estimate, but Jaime’s interval has a lower bound of 0.097 and an upper bound of 0.163, while Mariya’s interval has a lower bound of 0.117 and an upper bound of 0.173. Which interval is wrong? Why?
Answer:
Mariya's interval
Step-by-step explanation:
Point estimate = 0.13
Mariya's confidence interval :
Lower boundary = 0.117
Upper boundary = 0.173
Jamie's confidence interval :
Lower boundary = 0.097
Upper boundary = 0.163
The correct confidence interval should have an average value equal to the value of the point estimate ;
Jamie's confidence interval average :
(0.097 + 0.163) / 2 = 0.26 / 2 = 0.13
Mariya's confidence interval average :
(0.117 + 0.173) / 2 = 0.29 / 2 = 0.145
Based on the confidence interval average obtained we can conclude that Mariya's interval is wrong as it the average obtained is greater than the point estimate.
0.145 > 0.13
