In a recent research poll, 83.4% of 500 randomly selected men in the U.S. knew the name of our current vice president. When 500

randomly selected women in the U.S. were asked, 79% knew the vice president’s name.
(a) Construct and interpret a 95% confidence interval for the true difference in the proportion of U.S. men and the proportion of U.S. women who know the name of our current vice president.













(b) Based on this confidence interval, is there convincing evidence that the true proportion of men who know the name of the current vice president is different than the true proportion of women that know the name the current vice president? Explain.

Answer:

a) (0.834-0.79) - 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.834(1-0.834)}{500}+\frac{0.79(1-0.79)}{500}}=-0.00435

(0.834-0.79) - 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.834(1-0.834)}{500}+\frac{0.79(1-0.79)}{500}}=0.0924

The 95% confidence interval for the true difference of proportions is given by (-0.00435;0.0924)

b) For this case since the confidence interval contians the value 0 we can't conclude that the true proportion of men who know the name of the current vice president is different than the true proportion of women that know the name the current vice president at 5% of significance

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a

Since our interval is at 95% of confidence, our significance level would be given by \alpha=1-0.95=0.05 and \alpha/2 =0.025. And the critical value would be given by:

z_{\alpha/2}=-1.96, z_{1-\alpha/2}=1.96

The confidence interval for the difference of proportions is given by the following formula:  

(\hat p_1 -\hat p_2) \pm z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p_1 (1-\hat p_1)}{n_1} +\frac{\hat p_2 (1-\hat p_2)}{n_2}}

Replacing the info given we got:

(0.834-0.79) - 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.834(1-0.834)}{500}+\frac{0.79(1-0.79)}{500}}=-0.00435

(0.834-0.79) - 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.834(1-0.834)}{500}+\frac{0.79(1-0.79)}{500}}=0.0924

The 95% confidence interval for the true difference of proportions is given by (-0.00435;0.0924)

Part b

For this case since the confidence interval contians the value 0 we can't conclude that the true proportion of men who know the name of the current vice president is different than the true proportion of women that know the name the current vice president at 5% of significance

Rob is a high school student taking both algebra and geometry. Last night he had 27 homework problems combined from the two clas
azamat

Answer:

  15

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of algebra problems. Then the number of geometry problems was 27-x and the total working time was ...

  2x +5(27 -x) = 90

  -3x = 90 -135 . . . . subtract 135

  x = -45/-3 = 15 . . . divide by -3

Rob had 15 algebra problems for homework.

Circle O and triangle OQR are shown below. What is the length of OQ?
zysi [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A circle is inscribed in an equilateral triangle PQR with centre O. If angle OQR = 30°, what is the perimeter of the triangle?

This is a circle inscribed in an equilateral triangle with side s.

If you are asking for the perimeter of PQR, it is 3s.

If you are asking for the perimeter of OQR, it is (3+23–√3)s

Since OR and SR are the hypotenuses of right triangles with adjacent side equal to ½ s, their length is ½s / cos 30° = (√3) /3.

(3/3)s + ((√3) /3)s + ((√3) /3)s = ((3 + 2√3)/3)s ≈ 2.1547s

Hope it helps
