Answer:

350 feet per minute

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of time it took the plane to descend is 3 hours 14 minutes minus 1 hour 30 minutes.

This means it took 104 minutes for the plane to descend 36,400 feet.

Dividing 36400 by 104, you get 350 which is the average rate of descent in feet per minute.

A police officer would like to estimate the proportion of petty theft cases that have gone unsolved in a large city. He takes a
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

0.625 \pm 1.645*0.0571

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

\pi is the estimate

z is the zscore that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}, also called the critical value.

The standard error is:

s = \sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

90% confidence level critical value

So \alpha = 0.1, z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{0.1}{2} = 0.955, so z = 1.645.

Estimate:

72 petty theft cases and finds 45 of these have gone unsolved.

So \pi = \frac{45}{72} = 0.625

Standard error:

s = \sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = \sqrt{\frac{0.625*0.375}{72}} = 0.0571

Answer:

0.625 \pm 1.645*0.0571
