A simple random sample of 100 8th graders at a large suburban middle school indicated that 87% of them are involved with some ty

pe of after school activity. Find the margin of error associated with a 95% confidence interval that estimates the proportion of them that are involved in an after school activity.

Answer:

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:  

\hat p \pm z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{n}}

And the margin of error is given by:

ME = 1.96 *\frac{0.87*(1-0.87)}{100} = 0.0659

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".  

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.  

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".  

Solution to the problem

In order to find the critical value we need to take in count that we are finding the interval for a proportion, so on this case we need to use the z distribution. Since our interval is at 95% of confidence, our significance level would be given by \alpha=1-0.95=0.05 and \alpha/2 =0.025. And the critical value would be given by:

z_{\alpha/2}=-1.96, z_{1-\alpha/2}=1.96

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:  

\hat p \pm z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{n}}

And the margin of error is given by:

ME = 1.96 *\frac{0.87*(1-0.87)}{100} = 0.0659

There are an infinite number of vector and parametric equations for a given plane. Why is the scalar equation of a given plane u
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

When you refer to a normal vector you mean the form a*x + b*y + c*z = d, if that's the case then it's not unique in the nose because it gives you its normal vector. Taking into account that uniqueness only supports multiplicative constants, which means that you can multiply the equation with whatever you want, that is, it remains the same

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A ' = (-2, -3)

B ' = (0, -3)

C ' = (-1, 1)

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

Explanation:

To apply an x axis reflection, we simply change the sign of the y coordinate from positive to negative, or vice versa. The x coordinate stays as is.

Algebraically, the reflection rule used can be written as

Applying this rule to the three given points will mean....

Point A = (-2, 3) becomes A ' = (-2, -3)

Point B = (0, 3) becomes B ' = (0, -3)

Point C = (-1, -1) becomes C ' = (-1, 1)

The diagram is provided below.

Side note: Any points on the x axis will stay where they are. That isn't the case here, but its for any future problem where it may come up. This only applies to x axis reflections.
