2857*.24%=685.68

685.68*3=2057.04

2857-2057.04=799.96

Ann [662]

Answer:

$0.7 - 2.58 \sqrt{\frac{0.7(1-0.7)}{500}}=0.647$

$0.7 + 2.58 \sqrt{\frac{0.7(1-0.7)}{500}}=0.753$

And the 99% confidence interval would be given (0.647;0.753).

So the correct answer would be:

a. 0.647 and 0.753

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The population proportion have the following distribution

$p \sim N(p,\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}})$

Solution to the problem

The estimated population proportion for this case is:

$\hat p = \frac{350}{500}=0.7$

The confidence interval would be given by this formula

$\hat p \pm z_{\alpha/2} \sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}$

For the 99% confidence interval the value of $\alpha=1-0.99=0.01$ and $\alpha/2=0.005$ , with that value we can find the quantile required for the interval in the normal standard distribution.

$z_{\alpha/2}=2.58$

And replacing into the confidence interval formula we got:

$0.7 - 2.58 \sqrt{\frac{0.7(1-0.7)}{500}}=0.647$

$0.7 + 2.58 \sqrt{\frac{0.7(1-0.7)}{500}}=0.753$

And the 99% confidence interval would be given (0.647;0.753).

So the correct answer would be:

a. 0.647 and 0.753

Keenan currently does a total of 8 pushups each day. He plans to increase the number of pushups he does each day by 2 pushups un

Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

Current count of pushups = 8

Number of increase in pushups each day = 2

The desired pushup goal on daily basis = 30

Days require = x= ?

as we can conclude the number of pushups would increase by following sequence

8, 10, 12, 14, 16, ......30

Now as we can be the number of pushups by a constant number each day it means this sequence is arithmetic.

First term of our sequence is X1 and the final term is Xn, and the difference between two consecutive terms (Common Difference) is 2.

So

X1 = 8

Xn = 30

d = 2

Using the formula of nth term for arithmetic sequence

Xn = X1 + (n-1)d

Substituting the values

30 = 8 + (n-1)2

30-8 = (n-1)2

22 = 2n -2

22+2 = 2n

2n = 24

n = 24/2

n = 12

So, it means on the 12th day he will have to do 30 pushups if he starts from 8 and increase 2 pushups each day.
