Find the midpoint of the line segment defined by the points: (5, 4) and (−2, 1)

Answer: The mid point of the line segment is (1.5,2.5).

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

A (5,4) and B(-2,1) are the end points of the line segment.

We need to find the mid point say 'C':

As we know the formula for "Mid point ":

$C=(\dfrac{x_1+x_2}{2},\dfrac{y_1+y_2}{2})\\\\C=\dfrac{5-2}{2},\dfrac{4+1}{2})\\\\C=(\dfrac{3}{2},\dfrac{5}{2})\\\\C=(1.5,2.5)$

Hence, the mid point of the line segment is (1.5,2.5).

A university dean is interested in determining the proportion of students who receive some sort of financial aid. Rather than ex

Olenka [21]

Answer:

a

The 90% confidence interval that estimate the true proportion of students who receive financial aid is

$0.533 < p < 0.64$

b

$n = 1789$

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering question a

From the question we are told that

The sample size is n = 200

The number of student that receives financial aid is $k = 118$

Generally the sample proportion is

$\^ p = \frac{k}{n}$

=> $\^ p = \frac{118}{200}$

=> $\^ p = 0.59$

From the question we are told the confidence level is 90% , hence the level of significance is

$\alpha = (100 - 90 ) \%$

=> $\alpha = 0.10$

Generally from the normal distribution table the critical value of $\frac{\alpha }{2}$ is

$Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } = 1.645$

Generally the margin of error is mathematically represented as

$E = Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } * \sqrt{\frac{\^ p (1- \^ p)}{n} }$

=> $E = 1.645 * \sqrt{\frac{0.59 (1- 0.59)}{200} }$

=> $E = 0.057$

Generally 90% confidence interval is mathematically represented as

$\^ p -E < p < \^ p +E$

=> $0.533 < p < 0.64$

Considering question b

From the question we are told that

The margin of error is E = 0.03

From the question we are told the confidence level is 99% , hence the level of significance is

$\alpha = (100 - 99 ) \%$

=> $\alpha = 0.01$

Generally from the normal distribution table the critical value of is

$Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } = 2.58$

Generally the sample size is mathematically represented as

$[\frac{Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} }}{E} ]^2 * \^ p (1 - \^ p )$

=> $n = [\frac{2.58}{0.03} ]^2 * 0.59 (1 - 0.59 )$

=> $n = 1789$
