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.

Can someone help me?

Answer:

I'm not sure from my answer but I'm going to try

A =  { a^2  -  4  = 0 }

A = { a^2  = 0+ 4 }

A = { a^2  = 4}

Take root of both sides

A = {a = 2}

A = {2}

B = { -2, -1, 0, 1, 2}

C = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,7}

i) A\B

= {2} \ {-2,-1,0,1,2}

= ⌀ ( "null set" )

ii) (A\B) \C

= ( {2} \ {-2,-1,0,1,2} ) \ C

= ⌀ \ C

= ⌀ \ { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,7}

= ⌀ ( "null set" )

iii) (A ∪ B) \ C

= ( { 2 } ∪ { -2, -1, 0, 1, 2} ) \ C

= { -2, -1, 0, 1, 2} \C

= { -2, -1, 0, 1, 2} \ { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,7}

= { -2, -1, 0 }

iv) ( A\B) ∩ ( A\C)

= (  { 2 } \ {-2,-1,0,1,2} ) ∩ ( { 2 } \ { { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,7} )

= ⌀ ∩ ⌀

= ⌀

v) ( A ∩ B ) \ C

= ( { 2 }  ∩  { -2, -1, 0, 1, 2 } ) \ C

= { 2 } \ { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 }

= ⌀ "null set"
