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

amine the records for all students, the dean randomly selects 200 students and finds that 118 of them are receiving financial aid. Use a 99% confidence interval to estimate the true proportion of students on financial aid, with limits rounded to four decimal places.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean = np

Where

n = number of students

p = probability of success

n = 200

p = 118/200 = 0.59

mean = 200 × 0.59 = 118

Standard deviation, s = √npq

q = 1 - p = 1 - 0.59

q = 0.41

s = √(200 × 0.59 × 0.41)

s = √48.38 = 6.956

For a confidence level of 99%, the corresponding z value is 2.58. This is determined from the normal distribution table.

We will apply the formula

Confidence interval

= mean ± z ×standard deviation/√n

It becomes

118 ± 2.58 × 6.956/√200

= 118 ± 2.58 × 0.492

= 118 ± 1.2694

The lower end of the confidence interval is 118 - 1.2694 = 116.7306

The upper end of the confidence interval is 118 + 1.2694 = 119.2694

So I don’t really understand this so yeh pls help *pic included* by the way this is volume of cubes and cuboids and the question

faust18 [17]

Answer:

A2: 4*4*4 = 64 cm³; 6*6*6 = 216 cm³; etc...

B2: 7*4.5*4 = 126 cm³; 10.5*6*2 = 126 cm³; etc...

Step-by-step explanation:

So in A2 you have cubes, so l=b=h, and only one has to be given, called the "length of side".

In B2 they are different, hence there are 3 rows with l, b and h. But still you multiply them l x b x h

the ratio of boys to girls at the beach cleanup was 7:8. If there were 43 boys, how many girls were there?

faltersainse [42]

I'm pretty sure there were 48 girls at the beach clean up. 43 ÷ 7 = 6.14 (6 cause there's not gonna be floating males with missing body parts). So we multiply 6 x 8 and we get 48.

What number could replace kkk below? \dfrac{k}{100} = \dfrac{1}{10} 100 k = 10 1 start fraction, k, divided by, 100, end fra

Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

<h3>k = 10</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation;

$\dfrac{k}{100} = \dfrac{1}{10}$

We are to find the value of k.

Cross multiply;

$\dfrac{k}{100} = \dfrac{1}{10} \\10 \times k = 100 \times 1\\10k = 100\\$

Divide both sides by 10

$10k/10 = 100/10\\k = 10$

Hence the value of k is 10

$3)- \frac{6}{7} +\frac {10}{11}
\\\\LCD:77
\\\\\frac{6}{7}* \frac{11}{11} + \frac{10}{11}*\frac{7}{7}= \frac{66}{77} + \frac{70}{77} = \frac{136}{77} = 1\frac{59}{77} 
 \\ \\ 4) 3\frac{6}{7}* 2 \frac{1}{10}= \frac{27}{7} * \frac{21}{10} = \frac{567}{70} =\frac{81}{10} = 8\frac{1}{10}
