N a poll to estimate presidential popularity, each person in a random sample of 1,000 voters was asked to agree with one of the

following statements: The president is doing a good job.The president is doing a poor job.I have no opinion.A total of 560 respondents selected the first statement, indicating they thought the president was doing a good job. (a) Construct a 95 percent confidence interval for the portion of respondents who feel the president is doing a good job.
(b) Based on your interval in part, is it reasonable to conclude that a majority (half) of the population believes the president is doing a good job?

Answer:

a) The 95 percent confidence interval for the portion of respondents who feel the president is doing a good job is (0.5292, 0.5908).

b) The lower end of the confidence interval is above 0.5, so yes, it is reasonable to conclude that a majority (half) of the population believes the president is doing a good job.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step to solve this problem is building the confidence interval. If the lower end of the interval is above 0.5, it is reasonable to conclude that a majority of the population believes that the president is doing a good job.

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of \pi, and a confidence interval 1-\alpha, we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

In which

Z is the zscore that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}.

For this problem, we have that:

a)

A sample of 1000 voters was surveyed, and 560 feel that the president is doing a good job. This means that n = 1000 and \pi = \frac{560}{1000} = 0.56.

We have \alpha = 0.05, z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{0.05}{2} = 0.975, so Z = 1.96.

The lower limit of this interval is:

\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.56 - 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.56*0.44}{1000}} = 0.5292

The upper limit of this interval is:

\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.56 + 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.56*0.44}{1000}} = 0.5908

The 95 percent confidence interval for the portion of respondents who feel the president is doing a good job is (0.5292, 0.5908).

b) The lower end of the confidence interval is above 0.5, so yes, it is reasonable to conclude that a majority (half) of the population believes the president is doing a good job.

I need help! Will this would be very appreciated!pls
elena-s [515]

Answer:

No real

solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, let us check if we would be having a real solution

We start by rewriting the equation

We have this as;

8x^2 -25x + 24 = 0

We proceed to get the discriminant

Mathematically, we have this as;

D = b^2 - 4ac

b is the coefficient of x which is -25

a is the coefficient of x^2 which is 8

c is the last number which is 24

So we have;

D = (-25)^2 - 4(8)(24)

D = 625 - 768 = -143

Since the value of the discriminant is negative, there cannot be real roots

What we have as solution are complex roots
