According to a recent study of 7335 young people in the US, 30% had been arrested for a crime other than a traffic violation by

the age of 23. crimes included such things as vandalism, underage drinking, drunken driving, shoplifting, and drug possession.From a study in USA Today, quoted in The Week, 2012; 11: 547-548.(a) Is the 30% a parameter or a statistic?(A) Parameter.(B) Statistic.(b) The margin of error for the population proportion estimate, P, is 0.01. use this information to give a range of plausible values for the parameter

Answer:

a) Statistic.

b) The population proportion is expected to be between 0.29 and 0.31 with a 94% degree of confidence.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The proportion of 30% is a statistic, as it is a value that summarizes data only from the sample taken in the study from USA Today. Other samples may yield different proportions.

b) We can use the statistic to estimate a confidence interval for the parameter of the population.

The standard error for the proportion is calculated as:

\sigma_p=\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{N}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{0.3\cdot 0.7}{7335}}=\sqrt{2.83\cdot10^5}= 0.00535

The margin of error is 0.01. We can use this value to determine the level of confidence that represents.

The formula for the margin of error is:

E=z\cdot \sigma_p=0.01\\\\z\cdot 0.0535=0.01\\\\z=1.87

This z-value, according to the the standard normal distribution, corresponds to a confidence interval of 94%.

The interval for this margin of error is:

p-E\leq \pi \leq p+E\\\\0.30-0.01\leq \pi \leq 0.30+0.01\\\\0.29\leq \pi \leq 0.31

Then, we can conclude that the population proportion is expected to be between 0.29 and 0.31 with a 94% degree of confidence.

You decided to throw a fair die four times.
Finger [1]

Answer:

If all you care about is whether you roll 2 or not, you get a Binomial distribution with an individual success probability 1/6. The probability of rolling 2 at least two times, is the same as the probability of not rolling 2 at zero or one time.

the answer is, 1 - bin(k=0, n=4, r=1/6) - bin(k=1, n=4, r=1/6). This evaluates to about 13%, just like your result (you just computed all three outcomes satisfying the proposition rather than the two that didn’t).

A rectangle park measures 300 ft by 400 ft. A sidewalk runs diagonally from one comer to the opposite corner. Find the length o
DochEvi [55]

The length of side walk is 500 feet

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that, A rectangle park measures 300 ft by 400 ft

Length = 300 feet

Width = 400 feet

A sidewalk runs diagonally from one comer to the opposite corner

We have to find the length of side walk

Which means, we have to find the length of diagonal of rectangle

<em><u>The diagonal of rectangle is given by formula:</u></em>

d = \sqrt{w^2+l^2}

Where,

d is the length of diagonal

w is the width and l is the length of rectangle

<em><u>Substituting the values in formula, we get</u></em>

d = \sqrt{400^2+300^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{160000+90000}\\\\d = \sqrt{250000}\\\\d = 500

Thus length of side walk is 500 feet
