The state education commission wants to estimate the fraction of tenth grade students that have reading skills at or below the e

ighth grade level.
a. Suppose a sample of 269 tenth graders is drawn. Of the students sampled, 224 read above the eighth grade level. Using the data, estimate the proportion of tenth graders reading at or below the eighth grade level. Enter your answer as a fraction or a decimal number rounded to three decimal places.
b. Suppose a sample of 709 tenth graders is drawn. Of the students sampled, 546 read above the eighth grade level. Using the data, construct the 95% confidence interval for the population proportion of tenth graders reading at or below the eighth grade level. Round your answers to three decimal places.

Answer:

(a) The proportion of tenth graders reading at or below the eighth grade level is 0.1673.

(b) The 95% confidence interval for the population proportion of tenth graders reading at or below the eighth grade level is (0.198, 0.260).

Step-by-step explanation:

Let <em>X</em> = number of students who read above the eighth grade level.

(a)

A sample of <em>n</em> = 269 students are selected. Of these 269 students, <em>X</em> = 224 students who can read above the eighth grade level.

Compute the proportion of students who can read above the eighth grade level as follows:

\hat p=\frac{X}{n}=\frac{224}{269}=0.8327

The proportion of students who can read above the eighth grade level is 0.8327.

Compute the proportion of tenth graders reading at or below the eighth grade level as follows:

1-\hat p=1-0.8327

        =0.1673

Thus, the proportion of tenth graders reading at or below the eighth grade level is 0.1673.

(b)

the information provided is:

<em>n</em> = 709

<em>X</em> = 546

Compute the sample proportion of tenth graders reading at or below the eighth grade level as follows:

\hat q=1-\hat p

  =1-\frac{X}{n}

  =1-\frac{546}{709}

  =0.2299\\\approx 0.229

The critical value of <em>z</em> for 95% confidence interval is:

z_{\alpha/2}=z_{0.05/2}=z_{0.025}=1.96

Compute the 95% confidence interval for the population proportion as follows:

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

     =0.229\pm 1.96\times \sqrt{\frac{0.229(1-0.229)}{709}}\\=0.229\pm 0.03136\\=(0.19764, 0.26036)\\\approx (0.198, 0.260)

Thus, the 95% confidence interval for the population proportion of tenth graders reading at or below the eighth grade level is (0.198, 0.260).

Reflect the triangle across the y-axis, and then translate the image 5 units down.
Ksju [112]

Step-by-step answer:

It is a glide reflection.

The order of sliding and reflection is not important if the gliding is parallel to the line of reflection, which is the case here.

So the equivalent is translate five units down, and then reflect over the y-axis.

Note in general that rotations will not be equivalent to an odd number of reflections.  So looking for an equivalent, look for reflection.

The sum of three and seven times a number is -74. What is the number?
Dima020 [189]
<h3>♫ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ~Hello There!~ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ♫</h3>

➷ Form an equation with 'x' as the unknown number

7x + 3 = -74

Subtract 3 from both sides:

7x = -77

Divide both sides by 7:

x = -11

The number is -11

HELP PLEASE I WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

The slope intercept form is y = mx + b, where b is the y-intercept. In the equation y = 2x - 1, the y-intercept is -1. So, if you have an equation like y = 4x, there is no "b" term. Therefore, the y-intercept is zero, and the line passes through
