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

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A possible word problem for 3x+10 ≤75 could be

Mat has $75 dollars saved in his wallet and wants to use it for go carts. Knowing that the entrance to the park is $10, and each time around the go cart course is $3 what is the maximum times he can go around?

3x+10 ≤ 75, subtract 10 from both sides

    3x ≤ 75-10, divide both sides by 3

      x ≤ 65/3  

 or  x ≤ 21.(6)

So it can go around 21 times the most.

STatiana [176]

Answer:

The answer is none triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The sum of internal angles of a triangle must be equal to  

In this problem we have three angles, each measuring  

so

The total sum of the three angles is equal to  

therefore

The answer is none triangle

What is the constant of proportionality in the equation?<br>y=5x<br>0<br>1<br>4 or <br>5
Ann [662]

Answer:

hope it helps...

Step-by-step explanation:

The value of the constant of proportionality is k=5k=5

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form y/x=ky/x=k or y=kxy=kx

The value of the constant k is equal to the value of the slope

In this problem we have

y=5xy=5x ------> is a linear direct variation

The slope is m=5m=5

therefore

The value of the constant of proportionality is k=5k=5
