When 258 college students are randomly selected and surveyed, it is found that 106 own a car. Find a 99% confidence interval for

the true proportion of all college students who own a car. 0.351 < p < 0.471 0.332 < p < 0.490 0.339 < p < 0.482 0.360 < p < 0.461

Answer: 0.332 < p < 0.490

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the confidence interval for population proportion is given by :-

\hat{p}\pm z^*\sqrt{\dfrac{\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})}{n}}

, where n= sample size

\hat{p} = sample proportion

z* = critical z-value.

As per given , we have

n= 258

Sample proportion of college students who own a car = \hat{p}=\dfrac{106}{258}\approx0.411

Critical z-value for 99% confidence interval is 2.576. (By z-table)

Therefore , the  99% confidence interval for the true proportion(p) of all college students who own a car will be :0.411\pm (2.576)\sqrt{\dfrac{0.411(1-0.411)}{258}}\\\\=0.411\pm (2.576)\sqrt{0.00093829}\\\\= 0.411\pm (2.576)(0.0306315197142)\\\\=0.411\pm 0.0789=(0.411-0.0789,\ 0.411+0.0789)\\\\=(0.3321,\ 0.4899)\approx(0.332,\ 0.490)

Hence, a 99% confidence interval for the true proportion of all college students who own a car : 0.332 < p < 0.490

What are the areas of each smaller rectangle and the large rectangle?
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

Area of part 1: 3 * 5\sqrt{2} = 15\sqrt{2}

Area of part 2: 3\sqrt{2} * 5\sqrt{2}=30

Area of entire rectangle: 30 + 15\sqrt{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a rectangle can be found by using formula : length * width.

The area of part 1 can be simplified to this:

3 * 5\sqrt{2} = 15\sqrt{2}

Area of part 2:

3\sqrt{2} * 5\sqrt{2}=30

The area of the entire rectangle can simply be added from part 1 and part 2.

For area 2, remember multiplying the square root of 2 twice nullifies the square root. So it becomes 15 * 2, which is equal to 30.

12=5x-13x-44. answer it in multi-step equations
fomenos

12=5x-13x-44

combine like terms

12 = -8x -44

add 44 to each side

12+44 = -8x

56= -8x

divide by -8 on each side

56/-8 = x

-7 =x
