Answer:

The 95​% confidence interval for the true proportion of bottlenose dolphin signature whistles that are type a whistles is (0.4687, 0.6123).

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 level of 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:

n = 185, \pi = \frac{100}{185} = 0.5405

95% confidence level

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}} = 0.5405 - 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.5405*0.4595}{185}} = 0.4687

The upper limit of this interval is:

\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.5405 + 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.5405*0.4595}{185}} = 0.6123

The 95​% confidence interval for the true proportion of bottlenose dolphin signature whistles that are type a whistles is (0.4687, 0.6123).

How do u find the area?

Act like it's a rectangle. The height is 10 because 7+3=10 and the length it 27. Multiply them for the are and you get 270 in. Then multiply 6x7=42 because that's the are of the space that is missing from the imaginary rectangle. Multiply by 2 (84 in.) because there are 2 missing spaces and subtract from 270= 186 inches is your answer.

Conner and Jana are multiplying (3⁵6⁸)(3⁹6¹⁰).
ad-work [718]
<h3>Conner work is correct. Jana work is wrong</h3>

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

<em><u>Given that,</u></em>

<em><u>Conner and Jana are multiplying:</u></em>

(3^56^8)(3^96^{10})

Given Conner's work is:

(3^56^8)(3^96^{10}) = 3^{5+9}6^{8+10} = 3^{14}6^{18}

We have to check if this work is correct

Yes, Conner work is correct

From given,

(3^56^8)(3^96^{10})\\\\3^5 \times 6^8 \times 3^9 \times 6^{10}

Use the following law of exponent

a^m \times a^n = a^{m+n}

Therefore,

3^5 \times 6^8 \times 3^9 \times 6^{10} = 3^5 \times 3^9 \times 6^8 \times 6^{10} = 3^{5+9} \times 6^{8+10} = 3^{14} \times 6^{18}

<em><u>Given Jana's work is:</u></em>

(3^56^8)(3^96^{10}) = 3^{5.9}6^{8.10} = 3^{45}6^{80}

This is incorrect

The powers of same base has to be added. But here, powers are multiplied which is wrong

Given the following data set, what is the value of the median?
Gelneren [198K]
The answer is 4.5, since 1 & 8 are in the middle you add those two numbers and divide by two so 1+8=9 and 9/2=4.5
