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

Charles offers 7% over dealer cost on a BMW that has a sticker price of $63,000 and a dealer cost of $56,904
Oksanka [162]

Answer:

The right solution is "$ 60,887.28". A further explanation is provided below.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given values are:

Sticker price,

= $63,000

Dealer cost,

= $56,904

Offer,

= 7%

Now,

The 7% dealer cost will be:

= \frac{7}{100}\times  56,904

= 3,983.28 ($)

hence,

Amount offered will be:

= 56,904+3,983.28

= 60,887.28 ($)

How to solve 3x+2y=-1, 6x+4y=0 by elimination
kondaur [170]
(1) 3x+2y=-1
(2) 6x+4y=0

This system of equation has no solution. Proof
multiply all the term of (1) by two ==>6x+4y=-2
Notice that in (2) you have the same thing but equal to zero.
Same quantity can't equal 0 & -2. So no solution
