4.8 Twitter users and news, Part I: A poll conducted in 2013 found that 55% of U.S. adult Twitter users get at least some news o

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%)

Which equation does not represent a direct variation?
tatuchka [14]
Okay I think there has been a transcription issue here because it appears to me there are two answers. However I can spot where some brackets might be missing, bear with me on that.

A direct variation, a phrase I haven't heard before, sounds a lot like a direct proportion, something I am familiar with. A direct proportion satisfies two criteria:

The gradient of the function is constant s the independent variable (x) varies

The graph passes through the origin. That is to say when x = 0, y = 0.

Looking at these graphs, two can immediately be ruled out. Clearly A and D pass through the origin, and the gradient is constant because they are linear functions, so they are direct variations.

This leaves B and C. The graph of 1/x does not have a constant gradient, so any stretch of this graph (to y = k/x for some constant k) will similarly not be direct variation. Indeed there is a special name for this function, inverse proportion/variation. It appears both B and C are inverse proportion, however if I interpret B as y = (2/5)x instead, it is actually linear.

This leaves C as the odd one out.

I hope this helps you :)
