A computer manufacturing company has sent a mail survey to 2,800 of its randomly selected customers that have purchased a new la

ptop. The survey asked the customers whether or not they were satisfied with the computer. 800 customers responded to the survey. 640 customers indicated that they were satisfied, while 160 customers indicated they were not satisfied with their new computer. Construct a 96 percent confidence interval estimate of the true proportion of customers satisfied with their new computer.

Answer:

The 96% confidence interval for the population proportion of customers satisfied with their new computer is (0.77, 0.83).

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to calculate a 96% confidence interval for the proportion.

We consider the sample size to be the customers that responded the survey (n=800), as we can not assume the answer for the ones that did not answer.

The sample proportion is p=0.8.

p=X/n=640/800=0.8

The standard error of the proportion is:

\sigma_p=\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{0.8*0.2}{800}}\\\\\\ \sigma_p=\sqrt{0.0002}=0.014

The critical z-value for a 96% confidence interval is z=2.054.

The margin of error (MOE) can be calculated as:

MOE=z\cdot \sigma_p=2.054 \cdot 0.014=0.03

Then, the lower and upper bounds of the confidence interval are:

LL=p-z \cdot \sigma_p = 0.8-0.03=0.77\\\\UL=p+z \cdot \sigma_p = 0.8+0.03=0.83

The 96% confidence interval for the population proportion is (0.77, 0.83).

dusya [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I will illustrate this solution with a unique birthday party situation between Jane (the celebrant) and her 10 friends.

In the said party , we will assume that Jane only has 5 chocolates to share among her friends

i. Assuming that the 5 chocolates are of the same type, if she doesn't want to give any friend more than one piece of chocolate, the situation here is said to be WITHOUT REPLACEMENT & UN-ORDERED

n = 10 and k = 5

Total number of possible combinations becomes,

(\left {n} \atop {k}} \right. )=(\left {10} \atop {5}} \right. )=252

ii. Assuming that the 5 pieces of chocolate are of the same type and she is willing to give a friend more than one piece of chocolate, the situation is said to be WITH REPLACEMENT & UN-ORDERED

n = 10 and k = 5

Total number of possible combinations becomes,

(\left {n+k-1} \atop {k}} \right. )=(\left {14} \atop {5}} \right. )=2002

iii. Assuming that the 5 pieces of chocolate are of different types and she isn't willing to give any friend more than one piece of chocolate, the situation is said to be WITHOUT REPLACEMENT & ORDERED

n = 10 & k = 5

Total number of possible combinations becomes,

P\left {n} \atop {k}} \right=P\left {10} \atop {5}} \right. =30240

iv. Assuming the the 5 pieces of chocolate are of different types, if she is willing to give a friend more than one piece of chocolate, the situation is said to be WITH REPLACEMENT & ORDERED

n = 10 AND k = 5

Total number of combinations becomes

n^k=10^5=100,000

Sampling with replacement means that one friend can be sampled more than once i.e: A friend receives a piece of chocolate more than once

The order dictates how the sampling is applied.

​Quadrilateral ABCD​ is inscribed in this circle.
murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

C = 80

Step-by-step explanation:

A cyclic quadrilateral is one where all 4 vertices touch the circumference of a circle.

It has 1 interesting property that should concern you: <B + <D = 180 degrees.

3x - 59 + 2x - 1 = 180          Combine like terms

5x - 60  = 180                     Add 60 to both sides.

5x = 180 + 60

5x = 240

x = 240/5

x = 48

Now go to 2x + 4.

x = 48

A = 2*48 + 4

A = 96 + 4

A = 100

So C = 180 - 100

C = 80

Strands Copper wire from a manufacturer are analyzed forstrenghth and conductivity. The Results from 100 strands are asfollows:S
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer and explanation:

Given : Strands Copper wire from a manufacturer are analyzed forstrenghth and conductivity. The Results from 100 strands are as follows :

                                                 Strength Strength

                                                    High             Low

High conductivity                         74                8

Low conductivity                         15                3

To find :

a) If a stand is randomly selected, the probability that is conductivity is high and its strength is high

The favorable outcome is 74

The probability is given by,

P=\frac{74}{100}=0.74

b) If a stand is randomly selected, the probability that its conductivity is low or  strength is low

Conductivity is low A= 15+3=18

Strength is low B= 8+3=11

Conductivity is low and  strength is low A\cap B=3

Probability is given by,

P(A\cup B)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A\cap B)

P(A\cup B)=\frac{18}{100}+\frac{11}{100}-\frac{3}{100}

P(A\cup B)=0.18+0.11-0.03

P(A\cup B)=0.26

c) Consider the event that a strand low conductivity and the event that the strand has a low strength. Are these tow events mutually exclusive?

Since the events the stand has low conductivity and the stand has low strength  are not mutually exclusive, since there exists some cases in which both the  events coincide. i.e. Intersection of both the events exists with probability 0.03.

5) Derek was surfing through the internet for a good deal on t-shirts. Help Derek find the
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

The first one

Step-by-step explanation:

To figure out which one is the best deal, for each one how much <em>one</em> t-shirt costs.

<u>First deal:</u>

3 t-shirts for $28.95

To figure out how much money one t-shirt would cost, you divide $28.95 by 3.

1 t-shirt = 28.95/3 = $9.65.

<u>Second deal:</u>

4 t-shirts for $39

Same thing as the last one, except since there are 4 t-shirts you divide $39 by 4.

1 t-shirt = 39/4 = $9.75

<u>Third deal:</u>

5 t-shirts for $49.95

This time you will divide 49.95 by 5.

1 t-shirt = 49.95/5 = $9.99

The last step is to compare the three deals, and since you are trying to find the one that costs the <em>least</em> you can see that the first deal is the best one, because $9.65 per shirt is cheaper than $9.75 and $9.99

let's firstly, convert the mixed fraction to improper fraction, and then subtract.


\bf \stackrel{mixed}{2\frac{3}{4}}\implies \cfrac{2\cdot 4+3}{4}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{11}{4}}&#10;\\\\[-0.35em]&#10;\rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\&#10;\cfrac{11}{4}-\cfrac{2}{3}\implies \stackrel{\textit{our LCD will be 12}}{\cfrac{(3)11-(4)2}{12}}\implies \cfrac{33-8}{12}\implies \cfrac{25}{12}\implies 2\frac{1}{12}
