Of a group of randomly selected adults, 360 identified themselves as manual laborers, 280 identified themselves as non-manual wa

ge earners, 250 identified themselves as mid-level managers, and 160 identified themselves as executives. In the survey, 295 of manual laborers preferred trucks, 174 of non-manual wage earners preferred trucks, 135 of mid-level managers preferred trucks, and 42 of executives preferred trucks. We are interested in finding the 95% confidence interval for the percent of executives who prefer trucks.
Which distribution should you use for this problem?

Answer:

We are 95% confident that the percent of executives who prefer trucks is between 19.43% and 33.06%

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that in a group of randomly selected adults, 160 identified themselves as executives.

n = 160

Also we are given that 42 of executives preferred trucks.

So the proportion of executives who prefer trucks is given by

p = 42/160

p = 0.2625

We are asked to find the 95% confidence interval for the percent of executives who prefer trucks.

We can use normal distribution for this problem if the following conditions are satisfied.

n×p ≥ 10

160×0.2625 ≥ 10

42 ≥ 10 (satisfied)

n×(1 - p) ≥ 10

160×(1 - 0.2625) ≥ 10

118 ≥ 10 (satisfied)

The required confidence interval is given by

$ p \pm z\times \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n} } $

Where p is the proportion of executives who prefer trucks, n is the number of executives and z is the z-score corresponding to the confidence level of 95%.

Form the z-table, the z-score corresponding to the confidence level of 95% is 1.96

$ p \pm z\times \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n} } $

$ 0.2625 \pm 1.96\times \sqrt{\frac{0.2625(1-0.2625)}{160} } $

$ 0.2625 \pm 1.96\times 0.03478 $

$ 0.2625 \pm 0.06816 $

0.2625 - 0.06816, \: 0.2625 + 0.06816

(0.1943, \: 0.3306)

(19.43\%, \: 33.06\%)

Therefore, we are 95% confident that the percent of executives who prefer trucks is between 19.43% and 33.06%

The two lines are parallel, therefor 90-28=internal angle=62. Using trigonometry, Cosine=a/h. Cos(62)=350/x. Rearrange to get 350/Cos(62) = 519.7(1dp)

What is the measurement of each side of the perimeter is 94?
sveticcg [70]
2a+1 + 3a+2 +5a-9 you would start by combining like terms
2a+3a+5a= 10a
1+2-9= -6
10a-6=94
then subtract 94-6=88
then divide 88 by 10= 8.8
a=8.8
