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).

if U={natural number less than 10}, M={multiples of 2}, N={factors of 8} and O={even number} then can we write M intersection (N
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

yes

Step-by-step explanation:

u={1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9}

m={2,4,6,8}

N={1,2,4,8}

O={2,4,6,8}

Now

M intersection (N intersection O) = (M intersection N) intersection O

or , {2,4,6,8} intersection {2,4,8} ={2,4,8}

intersection {2,4,6,8 }

:. {2,4,8} ={2,4,8}

GrogVix [38]

Answer:

<em>Ct = 4075 + 368d</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Function Models</u>

A company rents out food booths and game booths at the county fair.

For a food booth, the company charges a fixed fee of $175 and a variable fee of $10 per day. If d is the number of days, then the charges for a food booth are:

Cf = 175 + 10d

Similarly, the company charges $50 plus $9 per day for a game booth, thus the total charges are:

Cg = 50 + 9d

If all the booths are rented for the entire time, the total amount the company is paid for 17 food booths and 22 game booths is:

Ct = 17Cf + 22Cg

Substituting:

Ct = 17(175 + 10d) + 22(50 + 9d)

Operating:

Ct = 2975 + 170d + 1100 + 198d

Simplifying:

Ct = 4075 + 368d
