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

I hope you see the pattern here . When multiplying the exponent (the small number near the 10) determines the number of zeros to the RIGHT . When dividing the number determines how many zeros to the LEFT usually resulting in a decimal. This is called scientific notation.

Hope this helps!:)

ASAP please help please!!!

Here, ∠1 and ∠2 are complementary angles which means they together are forming a right angle or we can also say that their sum is 90°.So, According to this:

$\sf∠1 + ∠2 = 90$

∠1 = x-8
∠2 = 6x

$\sf \: x - 8 + 6x = 90$

$\sf \: 7x - 8 = 90$

$\sf \: 7x = 90 + 8$

$\sf \: 7x = 98$

$\sf \: x = 14$

<h3>Now, </h3>

$\tt∠1 = x - 8 \\ \tt = 14 - 8 \\ \tt = 6$
$\tt \: ∠2 = 6x \\ \tt = 6 \times 14 \\ \tt = 84$

<em>Thus, The measure of m∠1 is 6° and measure of m∠2 is 84°...~</em>

Find the range of possible values for y.

nikdorinn [45]

I hope your not that lost now.

Finding the range of a function y=f(x) is the same as finding all values that y could be. To do this, we can think of it this way: The range of f(x) is all the y-values where there is a number x with y=f(x).

Prove: If a chord of a circle makes an angle of 30° with a diameter, prove that the distance from the center to the chord is one

Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

See explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let BC be the diameter of the circle with center at point O, AB be the chord and ∠ABC=30°. OD is the distance from the center to the chord.

Consider triangle BDO. This triangle is special 30°-60°-90° right triangle. The leg OD is opposite to the angle of 30° and is half of the hypotenuse. The hypotenuse of the triangle BDO is BO. BO is the radius of the circle and is equal to half of the diameter AB. Thus,

$OD=\dfrac{1}{2}BO=\dfrac{1}{2}\cdot \dfrac{1}{2}AB=\dfrac{1}{4}AB.$
