Suppose that n units are randomly sampled and x number of the sampled units are found to have the characteristic of interest. A

survey of n = 540 pet owners revealed that x = 243 buy their pets holiday presents. For p = proportion of pet owners who revealed that they buy their pets holiday presents, provide a point estimate of p and determine its 95% error margin. Carry out all calculations exactly, round the final answers only. Point estimate =

Answer:

The point estimate is 0.45.

The 95% error margin is 0.042 = 4.2 percentage points.

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

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

The margin of error is given by:

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

Point estimate

We have that n = 540, x = 243

So the point estimate is:

\pi = \frac{243}{540} = 0.45

95% confidence level

So \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.

Error margin:

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

M = 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.45*0.55}{540}}

M = 0.0420

The 95% error margin is 0.042 = 4.2 percentage points.

Thepotemich [5.8K]
16:24 students made at least 80% on the test. The question is what is the ratio of students who scored below an 80% to the total number of students. 8:24 would be the right answer, but since it is asking for the answer in the simplest form, it would be 1:3.

Please answer, thank you

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since y = -3 we can plug straight into the other equation

--> -x + 2y = -6

-x + 2(-3) = -6

-x - 6 = -6

-x = 0

x = 0

To graph this draw a horizontal like across the page at y = -3 and a vertical line down the page to represent x = 0

The point where these lines intersect is (0,-3)

So that would be the ordered pair solution.

Find the value of x.
GaryK [48]

Answer:

x = 25

Step-by-step explanation:

it's an isosceles triangle so base angles are the same

3x - 30 = 45

Add 30 on both sides

3x = 75

divide both sides by 3

x = 25
