A Pew Internet poll asked cell phone owners about how they used their cell phones. One question asked whether or not during the

past 30 days they had used their phone while in a store to call a friend or family member for advice about a purchase they were considering. The poll surveyed 1024 adults living in the United States by telephone. Of these, 471 responded that they had used their cell phone while in a store within the last 30 days to call a friend or family member for advice about a purchase they were considering. (a) Find (plusminus 0.0001) SE_p the sample proportion, the standard error of the sample proportion, and the margin of error for 95% confidence. p = SE_p = m = (b) Find the 95% large-sample confidence interval (plusminus 0.001) for the population proportion, the 95% large-sample confidence interval is from ____ to _____.

Answer:

a) \hat p=\frac{471}{1024}=0.460

The standard error is given by:

SE= \sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}=\sqrt{\frac{0.460(1-0.460)}{1024}}=0.0156

And the margin of error is given by:

ME=z_{\alpha/2} \sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}=1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.460(1-0.460)}{1024}}=0.0305

b) The 99% confidence interval would be given by (0.429;0.491)

Step-by-step explanation:

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".  

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.  

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".  

The population proportion have the following distribution

p \sim N(p,\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}})

Data given and notation  

n=1024 represent the random sample taken    

X=471 represent the people responded that they had used their cell phone while in a store within the last 30 days to call a friend or family member for advice about a purchase they were considering

\hat p=\frac{471}{1024}=0.460 estimated proportion of people responded that they had used their cell phone while in a store within the last 30 days to call a friend or family member for advice about a purchase they were considering    

p= population proportion of people responded that they had used their cell phone while in a store within the last 30 days to call a friend or family member for advice about a purchase they were considering

Part a

The confidence interval would be given by this formula

\hat p \pm z_{\alpha/2} \sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}

For the 95% confidence interval the value of \alpha=1-0.95=0.05 and \alpha/2=0.025, with that value we can find the quantile required for the interval in the normal standard distribution.

z_{\alpha/2}=1.96

The standard error is given by:

SE= \sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}=\sqrt{\frac{0.460(1-0.460)}{1024}}=0.0156

And the margin of error is given by:

ME=z_{\alpha/2} \sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}=1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.460(1-0.460)}{1024}}=0.0305

Part b

If we replace the values obtained we got:

0.460-1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.460(1-0.460)}{1024}}=0.429

0.460+1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.460(1-0.460)}{1024}}=0.491

The 99% confidence interval would be given by (0.429;0.491)

r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer: \dfrac{1}{5}\text{ of an ounce.}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A biologist studied how cells grow by adding liquid protein to cell samples.

She divided \dfrac{3}{5} of an ounce of liquid protein evenly among 3 cell samples.

Here , total quantity of liquid protein = \dfrac{3}{5} of an ounce

Total cell samples = 3

Now , Quantity of liquid protein given by her to each cell = (total quantity of liquid protein ) ÷ (3)

= \dfrac{3}{5}\times\dfrac{1}{3}=\dfrac{1}{5}\text{ of an ounce} .

Hence, Quantity of liquid protein given by her to each cell =  \dfrac{1}{5}\text{ of an ounce.}

The equation of the line WX is 2X plus Y equals -5 what is the equation of a line perpendicular to line WX in slope intercept fo
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

y = \frac{1}{2}x - \frac{3}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the line WX is, 2x + y = - 5

⇒ y = - 2x - 5 .......... (1)

This equation is in slope-intercept form and the slope is - 2 and the y-intercept is - 5.

Now, if a line perpendicular to equation (1) having slope m then, m × (- 2) = - 1

⇒ m =  \frac{1}{2}

{Since the product of slopes of two mutually perpendicular straight line is - 1}

Therefore, the equation of the perpendicular line is

y = \frac{1}{2}x + c, where c is a constant and we have to find it.

This above line passes through the point (-1,-2) and hence

- 2 = \frac{1}{2}(- 1) + c

⇒ c = - \frac{3}{2}

Therefore, the equation of the line will be y = \frac{1}{2}x - \frac{3}{2} (Answer)

What is the value of y?
Verizon [17]

Answer:

The answer is C (46)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the measurement of the triangle is 180 then you must subtract 180 by 88 to create 92 and divided that 92 by 2 to get 46.
