Answer:

95% confidence interval estimate for the proportion of engineers remaining in the profession is [0.486 , 0.624].

(a) Lower Limit = 0.486

(b) Upper Limit = 0.624

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a statistician is testing the null hypothesis that exactly half of all engineers will still be in the profession 10 years after receiving their bachelor's.

She took a random sample of 200 graduates from the class of 1979 and determined their occupations in 1989. She found that 111 persons were still employed primarily as engineers.

Firstly, the pivotal quantity for 95% confidence interval for the population proportion is given by;

                         P.Q. = \frac{\hat p-p}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }  ~ N(0,1)

where, \hat p = sample proportion of persons who were still employed primarily as engineers  = \frac{111}{200} = 0.555

           n = sample of graduates = 200

           p = population proportion of engineers

<em>Here for constructing 95% confidence interval we have used One-sample z proportion test statistics.</em>

So, 95% confidence interval for the population proportion, p is ;

P(-1.96 < N(0,1) < 1.96) = 0.95  {As the critical value of z at 2.5% level of

                                                 significance are -1.96 & 1.96}  

P(-1.96 < \frac{\hat p-p}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } } < 1.96) = 0.95

P( -1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } } < {\hat p-p} < 1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } } ) = 0.95

P( \hat p-1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } } < p < \hat p+1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } } ) = 0.95

<u>95% confidence interval for p</u> = [ \hat p-1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } } , \hat p+1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } } ]

 = [ 0.555-1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{0.555(1-0.555)}{200} } } , 0.555+1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{0.555(1-0.555)}{200} } } ]

 = [0.486 , 0.624]

Therefore, 95% confidence interval for the estimate for the proportion of engineers remaining in the profession is [0.486 , 0.624].

PLZ HELP STUCK ON THIS QUESTION 4a + 6b = 24 6a - 12b = -6 Given the equations what is the value of a+b? PLZ HELP WILL MARK BRAI
Paul [167]

Answer:

a + b = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this system of equations, we can use a strategy called elimination, which is when we get rid of a variable by adding/subtracting two equations.

Firstly, we want to make sure the absolute value of the coefficients that equal.

Lets eliminate b:

4a + 6b = 24

Multiply both sides by 2:

8a + 12b = 48

We also have:

6a - 12b = -6.

Now lets add that with

8a + 12b = 48

-> 6a + 8a + 12b - 12b = 48 -6

-> 14a = 42

-> a = 3

Now that we know a, lets plug it into one of our original equations:

4(3) + 6b = 24

12 + 6b = 24

6b = 12

b = 2

Finally, add the two values we found:

a+b = 2+3= 5

Answers:

  • A) Ray QS or Ray QR
  • B)  Line segment QS or SQ
  • C)  Plane QSR
  • D)  Line QS or RQ

=======================================================

Explanation:

Part A)

When naming a ray, always start at the endpoint. This is the first letter and we'll start with point Q.

The second letter is the point that is on the ray where the ray aims at. We have two choices S and R as they are both on the same ray. That's why we can name this Ray QS and Ray QR.

--------------------

Part B)

A segment is named by its endpoints. The order of the endpoints doesn't matter so that's why segment QS is the same as segment SQ. To me, it seems more natural to read from left to right, so QS seems better fitting (again the order doesn't matter).

--------------------

Part C)

When forming a plane, you need 3 noncollinear points. The term "collinear" means the points all fall on the same line. So these three points cannot all fall on the same straight line. In other words, we must be able to form a triangle of some sort.

So that's how we get the name "Plane QSR". The order of the letters doesn't matter.

--------------------

Part D)

To name a line, we just need to pick two points from it. Any two will do. The order doesn't matter. So that's how we get Line QS and Line RQ as two aliases for this same line. It turns out that there are 6 different ways to name this line.

  1. Line QR
  2. Line QS
  3. Line RQ
  4. Line RS
  5. Line SQ
  6. Line SR
