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

Answer:

LAMBORGHINI

Step-by-step explanation:

The fact that Ferruccio Lamborghini first owned a Ferrari during his younger stage and it wasn't up to par for him still amazes me. He also had the guts to "repair" what was wrong with the Ferrari he had in his opinion and so Ferrari did not like that someone who at the time had a work related in the farms was telling him the imperfections that there was with a Ferrari since they were top tier luxury cars.

This is where the whole legacy that Ferruccio Lamborghini would leave behind started. He decided to switch fixing Ferraris as a hobby to making it a passion. Ever since Ferruccio's goal was to build a car that was equal or better than any Ferrari model at that time. People believed this was impossible!

In modern day standards both brands have continued to grow each making unique cars for different styles of people but If I had to chose one, It would be Lamborghini (Gallardo Super Trofeo) :)

Solve for x in the triangle. Round your answer to the nearest tenth.
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

x ≈ 11.7

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the cosine ratio in the right triangle

cos26° = \frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse} = \frac{x}{13} ( multiply both sides by 13 )

13 × cos26° = x , then

x ≈ 11.7 ( to the nearest tenth )

Please help i've been stuck on these for a bit now!
lisov135 [29]

Answer:

Q6. D

Q8. A

Step-by-step explanation:

Q6. In 40 trials, he flipped '2 heads and 1 tail' 16 times.

For 2 heads, probability= 16/40= 4/10

For 120 trials, number of times= 4/10 × 120= 48

Q8.

125x + 200 \geqslant 1200 \\ 125x \geqslant 1200 - 200 \\ 125x \geqslant 1000 \\ x \geqslant 1000 \div 125 \\ x \geqslant 8

Answer is A because the inequality shows that x is equal or greater than 8 so the dot at 8 has to be coloured.

Note that we do not change the inequality sign unless we are dividing the whole thing by -1.
