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

A line with a slope of -7 passes through the points (u,0) and (8,-7) what is the value of u?
laila [671]

Answer:

u = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the slope intercept formula:

\frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}  = slope

Substitute our values from the points and the known slope:

\frac{-7 - 0}{8 - u} = -7

Now we multiply both sides by (8 - u) to isolate the x:

(8-u) x \frac{-7}{8 - u} = -7 (8 - u)

Next we add 56 to both sides:

-7 = -56 + 7u

Finish off by dividing both sides by 7:

7u = 49

u = 7

Help Please<br><br><br> thats my image
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

\frac{5}{6}

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of squares is 36, and only 6 of them are shaded therefore, the remaining 30 are not shaded. The probability that a randomly selected square is not shaded would therefore be:

\frac{30}{36}  =  \frac{10}{12}  \\ =   \frac{5}{6}

ULT ma<br> 4. Write an expression, then evaluate.<br> a. 1/4of the sum of 18 and 6
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer: Required expression: \dfrac14\times(18+16)

Result: \dfrac{17}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given phrase:  " \dfrac14\text{ of the sum of } 18\text{ and }6. "

Required expression: \dfrac14\times(18+16)    ['+' used to express sum, 'x' used in place of 'of']

Since 18+16 = 34

Then,

\dfrac14\times(18+16)=\dfrac14\times34  \\\\=\dfrac{1}{2}\times17\ \ \text{[Divide numerator and denominator by 2]}\\\\=\dfrac{17}{2}

Hence,     \dfrac14\times(18+16)=\dfrac{17}{2}.
