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)

Can someone help me with this question​
Aliun [14]

Answer:  The guage block height is 4.98 m

The base of the right triangle that is formed is 7.3784 m

The last angle in the triangle is 56 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Redraw the triangle formed in the picture and use H for the hypotenuse, O for the block height, and A for the base.  Now we can use trig (SOHCAHTOA) to find the answaers.

Using sine, we can first find the gauge block height, O (Opposite).  Given the Hypotenuse (H) is 8.9 m, we can use the definition of the sine of an angle to find the height, O.

Sine(34) = Opposite/Hypotenuse (O/H), or O = H*Sine(34)

O = (8.9)*(0.5592)

O = 4.98 m, the height of the gauge block,

The base of the triangle, A, can be determined with cosine.

Cosine(34) = A/O, or A = Cosine(34)*O

A = (0.82904)*(8.9)

A = 7.3784 m

The sum of all angles in a triangle is 180 degrees.  

180 = X + 34 + 90

X = 56 degrees

Find the price of a $75.00 mea with a 18% tip.
Eva8 [605]

Answer:

$88.50

Step-by-step explanation:

you start by turning the decimal to a fraction by moving the decimal dot 2 places to the left so now you have 0.18

then multiply 0.18 * 75 to get 13.5

then add 15.5 + 75 to get the total meal price which is 88.5
