To solve this answer, you are trying to find 55% of 600, because that is the number of people who chose plastic bag.

55% can be re-written as 55/100 OR 0.55 since percentages are always out of 100.

So, we do 0.55*600, which gives us 330. 330 people carry plastic bags.

Answer:a

a

$336.04 < \mu < 443.96$

b

The margin of error will increase

c

The margin of error will decreases

d

The 99% confidence interval is $0.4107 < p < 0.4293$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The sample size $n = 19$

The sample mean is $\= x = \$\ 390$

The standard deviation is $\sigma = \$ \ 120$

Given that the confidence level is 95% then the level of significance is mathematically represented as

$\alpha = 100 - 95$

$\alpha = 5 \%$

$\alpha = 0.05$

Next we obtain the critical value of $\frac{\alpha }{2}$ from the normal distribution table

So

$Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } = 1.96$

The margin of error is mathematically represented as

$E = Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } * \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} }$

=> $E = 1.96 * \frac{120}{\sqrt{19} }$

=> $E = 53.96$

The 95% confidence interval is

$\= x - E < \mu < \= x + E$

=> $390 - 53.96 < \mu < 390 - 53.96$

=> $336.04 < \mu < 443.96$

When the confidence level increases the $Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} }$ also increases which increases the margin of error hence the confidence level becomes wider

Generally the sample size mathematically varies with margin of error as follows

$n \ \ \alpha \ \ \frac{1}{E^2 }$

So if the sample size increases the margin of error decrease

The sample proportion is mathematically represented as

$\r p = \frac{210}{500}$

$\r p = 0.42$

Given that the confidence level is 0.99 the level of significance is $\alpha = 0.01$

The critical value of $\frac{\alpha }{2}$ from the normal distribution table is

$Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } = 2.58$

Generally the margin of error is mathematically represented as

$E = Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} }* \sqrt{ \frac{\r p (1- \r p )}{n} }$

=> $E = 0.42 * \sqrt{ \frac{0.42 (1- 0.42 )}{ 500} }$

=> $E = 0.0093$

The 99% confidence interval is

$\r p - E < p < \r p + E$

$0.42 - 0.0093 < p < 0.42 + 0.0093$

$0.4107 < p < 0.4293$

Find the unit price

Mrac [35]

Answer:

Price per ounce is $0.062

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to find the unit price in which this vase is price per ounce

Firstly, we need the total ounce value

1 pound = 16 ounce

so two pounds will be 2 * 16 = 32 ounces

So the total ounce value is 32 ounces + 8 ounce = 40 ounces

So 40 ounces = $2.48

price per ounce will be $2.48/40 = $0.062 per ounce

What's happening to this graph when the X values are between 4 and 8?

Korolek [52]

Hello!

On the graph, when the X values are between 4 and 8, they are being constant. The X values between 4 and 8 are constant because the line shown between 4 and 8 on the graph show the line as a straight line. It is not going up nor is it going down, so you can conclude that the X values are not increasing or decreasing.

I hope this helps!
