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.

The measure of ∠AKG is 133°. What is m∠AKD?
elena55 [62]
The answer would be 47 because we know a right angle is 90 degrees but <AKG is 133 degrees so you subtract 180-133 which =47

Kate, Alexia, and Trina just completed the 400-meter dash at the track meet. Kate finished the race 6 seconds faster than Alexia
Digiron [165]

Answer:

Kate = 52 seconds, Alexia = 58 seconds, Trina = 49 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

A = K + 6

T = K - 3

K + A + T = 2 min 39 sec or 159 sec

K + (K + 6) + (K - 3) = 159sec

3K + 3 = 159sec

3K = 156sec

K = 52 sec

A = 52 + 6 = 58 sec

T = 52 - 3 = 49 sec
