Answer:

The 95% confidence interval for the true proportion of all teams that had a season winning percentage better than 0.500 is (0.1853, 0.6147).

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of \pi, and a confidence interval 1-\alpha, we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

In which

Z is the zscore that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}.

For this problem, we have that:

8 out of the 20 teams in the sample had a season winning percentage better than 0.500. This means that n = 20, \pi = \frac{8}{20} = 0.4.

95% confidence interval

So \alpha = 0.05, z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{0.05}{2} = 0.975, so Z = 1.96.

The lower limit of this interval is:

\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.4 - 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.6*0.4}{20}} = 0.1853

The upper limit of this interval is:

\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.4 + 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.6*0.4}{20}} = 0.6147

The 95% confidence interval for the true proportion of all teams that had a season winning percentage better than 0.500 is (0.1853, 0.6147).

Hello There!

The correct answer would be "B" this is because we are taking 6 and multiply it by our x column which is the "in" column and adding 1 to what we get.

Sam traveled 3/4 of a journey by bus. He jogged 1/2 of the remaining distance and walked the rest of the way. If he walked 800 f
Troyanec [42]
Let x = total distance he covered
3x/4         by bus
1/2 . x/4  =  x/8  by jogging
the remaining distance  =  x/8               by walking
thus      x/8 = 800ft
           x =    8 . 800 = 6400ft

Find the gradient and the intercept shown by the straight line 2x + 3y = 6 ​
sveta [45]

Answer:

\sf gradient =\dfrac{-2}{3}\\\\ y -intercept = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

<h2>Equation of the line in slope intercept form:</h2>

      \sf \boxed{\bf y = mx +b}

Here m is the slope or gradient and b is the y-intercept.

Write the given equation in slope-intercept form.

  2x + 3y = 6

          3y = -2x + 6

            \sf y =\dfrac{-2}{3}x +\dfrac{6}{3}\\\\     y = \dfrac{-2}{3}x + 2

\sf gradient =\dfrac{-2}{3}\\\\ y -intercept = 2

28/32 that equals 7/8
OLEGan [10]

Divide it by 4/4. You should get 7/8. 7/8 is the same as 28/32. 28/4=7, 32/4=8. Therefore, you can divide it by 4/4.
