In an article regarding interracial dating and marriage recently appeared in a newspaper. Of 1719 randomly selected adults, 311

identified themselves as Latinos, 322 identified themselves as blacks, 251 identified themselves as Asians, and 775 identified themselves as whites. Among Asians, 79% would welcome a white person into their families, 71% would welcome a Latino, and 66% would welcome a black person.
NOTE: If you are using a Student's t-distribution, you may assume that the underlying population is normally distributed. (In general, you must first prove that assumption, though.)
Construct the 95% confidence intervals for the three Asian responses.
1. Welcome a white person ( , )
2. Welcome a Latino ( , )
3. Welcome a Black person ( , )

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

The parameter of interest in this exercise is the population proportion of Asians that would welcome a person of other races in their family. Using the race of the welcomed one as categorizer we can define 3 variables:

X₁: Number of Asians that would welcome a white person into their families.

X₂: Number of Asians that would welcome a Latino person into their families.

X₃: Number of Asians that would welcome a black person into their families.

Now since we are working with the population that identifies as "Asians" the sample size will be: n= 251

Since the sample size is large enough (n≥30) you can apply the Central Limit Theorem and approximate the variable distribution to normal.

Z_{1-\alpha /2}= Z_{0.975}= 1.965

1. 95% CI for Asians that would welcome a white person.

If 79% would welcome a white person, then the expected value is:

E(X)= n*p= 251*0.79= 198.29

And the Standard deviation is:

V(X)= n*p*(1-p)= 251*0.79*0.21=41.6409

√V(X)= 6.45

You can construct the interval as:

E(X)±Z₁₋α/₂*√V(X)

198.29±1.965*6.45

[185.62;210.96]

With a 95% confidence level, you'd expect that the interval [185.62; 210.96] contains the number of Asian people that would welcome a White person in their family.

2. 95% CI for Asians that would welcome a Latino person.

If 71% would welcome a Latino person, then the expected value is:

E(X)= n*p= 251*0.71= 178.21

And the Standard deviation is:

V(X)= n*p*(1-p)= 251*0.71*0.29= 51.6809

√V(X)= 7.19

You can construct the interval as:

E(X)±Z₁₋α/₂*√V(X)

178.21±1.965*7.19

[164.08; 192.34]

With a 95% confidence level, you'd expect that the interval [164.08; 192.34] contains the number of Asian people that would welcome a Latino person in their family.

3. 95% CI for Asians that would welcome a Black person.

If 66% would welcome a Black person, then the expected value is:

E(X)= n*p= 251*0.66= 165.66

And the Standard deviation is:

V(X)= n*p*(1-p)= 251*0.66*0.34= 56.3244

√V(X)= 7.50

You can construct the interval as:

E(X)±Z₁₋α/₂*√V(X)

165.66±1.965*7.50

[150.92; 180.40]

With a 95% confidence level, you'd expect that the interval [150.92; 180.40] contains the number of Asian people that would welcome a Black person in their family.

I hope it helps!

Given: △ABC, AB=5sqrt2 <br> m∠A=45°, m∠C=30°<br> Find: BC and AC
Marysya12 [62]

BC is 10 units and AC is 5+5\sqrt{3} units

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us revise the sine rule

In ΔABC:

  • \frac{AB}{sin(C)}=\frac{BC}{sin(A)}=\frac{AC}{sin(B)}
  • AB is opposite to ∠C
  • BC is opposite to ∠A
  • AC is opposite to ∠B

Let us use this rule to solve the problem

In ΔABC:

∵ m∠A = 45°

∵ m∠C = 30°

- The sum of measures of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°

∵ m∠A + m∠B + m∠C = 180

∴ 45 + m∠B + 30 = 180

- Add the like terms

∴ m∠B + 75 = 180

- Subtract 75 from both sides

∴ m∠B = 105°

∵ \frac{AB}{sin(C)}=\frac{BC}{sin(A)}

∵ AB = 5\sqrt{2}

- Substitute AB and the 3 angles in the rule above

∴ \frac{5\sqrt{2}}{sin(30)}=\frac{BC}{sin(45)}

- By using cross multiplication

∴ (BC) × sin(30) = 5\sqrt{2} × sin(45)

∵ sin(30) = 0.5 and sin(45) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}

∴ 0.5 (BC) = 5

- Divide both sides by 0.5

∴ BC = 10 units

∵ \frac{AB}{sin(C)}=\frac{AC}{sin(B)}

- Substitute AB and the 3 angles in the rule above

∴ \frac{5\sqrt{2}}{sin(30)}=\frac{AC}{sin(105)}

- By using cross multiplication

∴ (AC) × sin(30) = 5\sqrt{2} × sin(105)

∵ sin(105) = \frac{\sqrt{6}+\sqrt{2}}{4}

∴ 0.5 (AC) = \frac{5+5\sqrt{3}}{2}

- Divide both sides by 0.5

∴ AC = 5+5\sqrt{3} units

BC is 10 units and AC is 5+5\sqrt{3} units
