Answer:

[0.7210,0.8189] = [72.10%, 81.89%]

Step-by-step explanation:

The sample size is  

n = 200

the proportion is

p = 154/200 = 0.77

<em>Since both np ≥ 10 and n(1-p) ≥ 10 </em>

<em>We can approximate this discrete binomial distribution with the continuous Normal distribution. As the sample size is large enough, not applying the continuity correction factor makes no significant  difference. </em>

The approximation would be to a Normal curve with this parameters:

<em>Mean </em>

p = 0.77

<em>Standard deviation </em>

\bf s=\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}=\sqrt{\frac{0.77*0.23}{200}}=0.0298

The 90% confidence interval for the proportion would be then  

\bf  [0.77-z^*0.0298, 0.77+z^*0.0298]

where \bf z^* is the 10% critical value for the Normal N(0,1) distribution , this is a value such that the area under the N(0,1) curve outside the interval \bf [-z^*,z^*] is 10%=0.1

We can either use a table, a calculator or a spreadsheet to get this value.

In Excel or OpenOffice Calc we use the function

<em>NORMSINV(0.95) and we get a value of 1.645 </em>

The 90% confidence interval for the proportion is then

\bf  [0.77-1.645^*0.0298, 0.77+1.645^*0.0298]=[0.7210,0.8189]

This means there is a 90% probability that the proportion of people who watch educational television is between 72.10% and 81.89%

If the television company wanted to publicize the proportion of viewers, do you think it should use the 90% confidence interval?

Yes, I do.

Answer:

An ANOVA test

Step-by-step explanation:

You will use the ANOVA test, which is a test that compares the means of more than 2 samples.  Since the teacher used 3 test groups, she would have to use this test if she wanted to do a hypothesis test to determine if the means are equal.  

*This test only tells us if the means are equal, it won't say which is greater than the other.  You would have to do 3 individual hypothesis tests comparing 2 means at a time in order to determine that.

Triss [41]

Answer:

D is the answer

Step-by-step explanation:

0,0 is the only one that both start at 0, which is crucial for the origin (or really just to make sure they have the exact same number :) )
