n Twitter (Pew, 2013). The standard error for this estimate was 2.6%, and a normal distribution may be used to model the sample proportion. Construct a 99% confidence interval for the fraction of U.S. adult Twitter users who get some news on Twitter, and interpret the confidence interval in context. (please round all percentages to 2 decimal places)

Answer: Required 99% confidence interval  : (48.30%, 61.7%)

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence interval for PROPORTION:  p\pm z^* \times S.E., where p = sample proportion , z* = two-tailed critical z-value  and S.E. = standard error.

As per given: p=55%

Critical z-value for 99% confidence = 2.576

S.E. = 2.6%

Then, required confidence interval :

55\% \pm (2.576)\times 2.6\%\\\\\approx55\% \pm6.70\%\\\\=(55\%-6.70\%,\ 55\%+6.70\%)\\\\=(48.30\%,\ 61.7\%)

Required 99% confidence interval  : (48.30%, 61.7%)

On an exam, Mafuyu scored in the 20th percentile. If there were 50 students in the class, how many students scored lower than he
Reptile [31]

Using the percentile concept, it is found that 10 students scored lower than he did.

<h3>What is the meaning of the percentile of a measure?</h3>

When a measure is in the xth percentile of a data-set, it is greater than x% of the measures and lesser than (100 - x)%.

In this problem, he scored on the 20th percentile, that is, higher than 20% of the 50 students. Then:

0.2 x 50 = 10.

10 students scored lower than he did.

Please help me with this problem​
eimsori [14]

Find the equation of the first line using the two given points: (1,-1) (-1,-5)

Slope = change in Y over change in x:

Slope = (-5-(-1)) / (-1-(1) = -4/-2 = 2

Now find y intercept: y - y1 = m(x-x1) = y -(-1) = 2(x-1)

Simplify to get y = 2x-3

Now a perpendicular line has a opposite reciprocal slope.

The perpendicular line would be y = -1/2x - 3

You are told the y intercept is -4 units greater, so add -4 to -3 to get -7

The answer would be A. y = -1/2x-7
