The town of Hayward (CA) has about 50,000 registered voters. A political research firm takes a simple random sample of 500 of th

timama [110]

Answer: (0.076, 0.140)

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence interval for population proportion (p) is given by :-

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

, where $\hat{p}$ = sample proportion.

n= sample size.

$\alpha$ = significance level .

$z_{\alpha/2}$ = critical z-value (Two tailed)

As per given , we have

sample size : n= 500

The number of Independents.: x= 54

Sample proportion of Independents $\hat{p}=\dfrac{x}{n}=\dfrac{54}{500}=0.108$

Significance level 98% confidence level : $\alpha=1-0.98=0.02$

By using z-table , Critical value : $z_{\alpha/2}=z_{0.01}=2.33$

The 98% confidence interval for the true percentage of Independents among Haywards 50,000 registered voters will be :-

$0.108\pm (2.33)\sqrt{\dfrac{0.108(1-0.108)}{500}}\\\\=0.108\pm2.33\times0.013880634\\\\=0.108\pm0.03234187722\\\\\approx0.108\pm0.032=(0.108-0.032,\ 0.108+0.032)=(0.076,\ 0.140)$

Hence, the 98% confidence interval for the true percentage of Independents among Haywards 50,000 registered voters.= (0.076, 0.140)

An account earns simple interest $600 at 5% for 2 years find the interest earned

iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

so your answer would be 60$

Step-by-step explanation:

I = P * r * t

Here, P = $600

r = 0.05 (decimal value for 5%)

t = 2 years

Part a)

The interest earned will be:

I = P * r * t

I = 600 * 0.05 * 2

I = $60

Part b)

The balance in the account will be $600 plus the interest earned or:

$600 + 60 = $660

Newton's law of cooling is:

Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

$t = \frac{ln(\frac{21}{59})}{-0.15}=6.887 hr$

So it would takes approximately 6.9 hours to reach 32 F.

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the following differential equationÑ

$\frac{du}{dt}= -k (u-T)$

We can reorder the expression like this:

$\frac{du}{u-T} = -k dt$

We can use the substitution $w = u-T$ and $dw =du$ so then we have:

$\frac{dw}{w} =-k dt$

IF we integrate both sides we got:

$ln |w| = -kt +C$

If we apply exponential in both sides we got:

$w = e^{-kt} *e^c$

And if we replace w = u-T we got:

$u(t)= T + C_1 e^{-kt}$

We can also express the solution in the following terms:

$u(t) = (T_i -T_{amb}) e^{kt} +T_{amb}$

For this case we know that $k =-0.15 hr$ since w ehave a cooloing, $T_{i}= 70 F, T_{amb}=11F$ , we have this model:

$u(t) = (70-11) e^{-0.15t} +11$

And if we want that the temperature would be 32F we can solve for t like this:

$32 = 59 e^{-0.15 t} +11$

$21=59 e^{-0.15 t}$

$\frac{21}{59} = e^{-0.15 t}$

If we apply natural logs on both sides we got:

$ln (\frac{21}{59}) =-0.15 t$

$t = \frac{ln(\frac{21}{59})}{-0.15}=6.887 hr$

So it would takes approximately 6.9 hours to reach 32 F.
