A sample of 300 FM residents was taken and 135 said their favorite season was summer. Calculate a 99% confidence interval for th

e proportion of FM residents whose favorite season is summer. What is the lower bound of this interval? (Round your answer to 3 decimal places and enter it with a leading 0. ex: 0.XXX).

Answer:

0.45 - 2.58\sqrt{\frac{0.45(1-0.45)}{300}}=0.376

0.45 + 2.58\sqrt{\frac{0.45(1-0.45)}{300}}=0.524

The 99% confidence interval would be given by (0.376;0.524)

So then the lower bound would be 0.376

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

For this case the estimated proportion of interest would be \hat p = \frac{135}{300}= 0.45

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 99% of confidence, our significance level would be given by \alpha=1-0.99=0.01 and \alpha/2 =0.005. And the critical value would be given by:

z_{\alpha/2}=-2.58, z_{1-\alpha/2}=2.58

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}}

If we replace the values obtained we got:

0.45 - 2.58\sqrt{\frac{0.45(1-0.45)}{300}}=0.376

0.45 + 2.58\sqrt{\frac{0.45(1-0.45)}{300}}=0.524

The 99% confidence interval would be given by (0.376;0.524)

So then the lower bound would be 0.376

Answer:

The 99% confidence interval for the proportion of FM residents whose favorite season is summer is between (0.376, 0.524).

The lower bound of this interval is 0.376.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of \pi, and a confidence level of 1-\alpha, we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

In which

z is the zscore that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}.

For this problem, we have that:

n = 300, \pi = \frac{135}{300} = 0.45

99% confidence level

So \alpha = 0.01, z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{0.01}{2} = 0.995, so Z = 2.575.

The lower limit of this interval is:

\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.45 - 2.575\sqrt{\frac{0.45*0.55}{300}} = 0.376

The upper limit of this interval is:

\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.45 + 2.575\sqrt{\frac{0.45*0.55}{300}} = 0.524

The 99% confidence interval for the proportion of FM residents whose favorite season is summer is between (0.376, 0.524).

The lower bound of this interval is 0.376.

Problem number eight
wariber [46]

Hello there! The answer is C. 7/9.

The question is asking you how to find the absolute value of -7/9. Absolute value is the value of the number, regardless if it is negative or positive. So, that makes C your answer.

I hope this was helpful in finding an answer to your question, have a great day! :)

In a geometric sequence, a4 = 54 and a7 = 1,458. what is the 12th term? <br><br> answer: B) 354,294
slamgirl [31]

Option B:

The 12th term is 354294.

Solution:

Given data:

a_4=54 and a_7=1458

To find a_{12}:

The given sequence is a geometric sequence.

The general term of the geometric sequence is a_n=a_1\ r^{n-1}.

If we have 2 terms of a geometric sequence a_n and a_k (n > K),

then we can write the general term as a_n=a_k\ r^{n-k}.

Here we have a_4=54 and a_7=1458.

So, n = 7 and k = 4 ( 7 > 4)

a_7=a_4\ .\ r^{7-4}

1458=54\ . \  r^3

This can be written as

$r^3=\frac{1458}{54}

$r^3=27

$r^3=3^3

Taking cube root on both sides of the equation, we get

r = 3

a_{12}=a_7\ .\ r^{12-7}

     =1458\ .\ r^5

     =1458\ .\ 3^5

a_{12}=354294

Hence the 12th term of the geometric sequence is 354294.
