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.

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 of the following statements must be true based on the diagram below? Select
pentagon [3]

The question is an illustration of equivalent ratios and similar triangles.

<em>The true option is: </em>\frac{WU}{WV} = \frac{UR}{VS}<em />

From the diagram, we have:

WU =  UR ---- This is so because both lines are marked once

Also, we have:

WV = VS ---- This is so because both lines are marked twice

Divide both equations

\frac{WU}{WV} = \frac{UR}{VS}

Hence, the true option is: \frac{WU}{WV} = \frac{UR}{VS}

Quick sell outlet sold a total of 40 televisions, each of which was either a model p television or a model q television. each mo
saw5 [17]

Answer:

The number of the television sets that is model p is 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have total number of television sold = 40

The model p televisions sold for $30 less than the model q televisions

That is $P = $q - $30

Therefore

Let the quantity of the model p sold be X

Let the quantity of the model q sold be X

Therefore

x + y = 40

Total cost of the television = 40 * 141 = $5640

Therefore, 120*x + 90*y = 5640

Plugging in x = 40 - y in the above equation we get

4800 - 30y = 5640 or

y   = -28 and

x = 68

If we put y = 40 - x we get

30x + 3600 = 5640  

If we put

120*x + 150*y = 5640.........(3)

we get

x = 12 and y = 28

Therefore, since the model p sold for $30 less than the model q, from the solution of equation (3) the number of the television sets that is model p = 12
