A radio talk show host with a large audience is interested in the proportion p of adults in his listening area who think the dri

nking age should be lowered to eighteen. To find this out, he poses the following question to his listeners: "Do you think that the drinking age should be reduced to eighteen in light of the fact that eighteen-year-olds are eligible for military service?" He asks listeners to phone in and vote "yes" if they agree the drinking age should be lowered and "no" if not. Of the 100 people who phoned in, 70 answered "yes." The margin of error for a 90% confidence interval is:a) 0.045. b) 0.074. c) 0.089. d) 0.690.

Answer:

The margin of error for a 90% confidence interval is 0.075.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that he asks listeners to phone in and vote "yes" if they agree the drinking age should be lowered and "no" if not.

Of the 100 people who phoned in, 70 answered "yes."

Let \hat p = sample proportion of people who say yes

So,  \hat p=\frac{X}{n}  =  \frac{70}{100} = 0.70

where, X = Number of people who say yes = 70

            n = Number of people phoned in = 100

<u>Now, Margin of error formula for any confidence interval is given by;</u>

         Margin of error =  Z_(_\frac{\alpha}{2}_ ) \times \text{Standard of Error}

where, \alpha = level of significance = 10%

Standard of error =  \sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} }

Also, the critical value of x at 5% (\frac{\alpha}{2} =\frac{0.10}{2}) level of significance is 1.645.

SO,<em><u> Margin of Error</u></em> =  1.645 \times \sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} }

                                =  1.645 \times \sqrt{\frac{0.70(1-0.70)}{100} }

                                =  0.075

Hence, the margin of error for a 90% confidence interval is 0.075.

Prior Knowledge Questions (Do these BEFORE using the Gizmo.) Imagine you and your friends are making hot dogs. A complete hot do
slega [8]

Answer:

A. 8 complete hotdogs were made.

B. The wiener.

C. The bun.

Step-by-step explanation:

1 complete hotdog = 1 wiener + 1 bun

You have, 3*10 bun and 8 wiener

= 30 bun and 8 wiener

A. Since, we have 30 bun and 8 wiener and for 1 complete hotdog = 1 wiener + 1 bun

Therefore, 8 hotdogs = 8 wiener + 8 buns

= 8 complete hotdogs are made

B.

Since 8 complete hotdogs are made, 8 wiener and 8 buns are used.

Therefore, the limiting ingredient is the wiener because it is the smallest number of ingredient and none of it was left after making the 8 hotdogs.

C. Since 8 complete hotdogs are made, 8 buns were used

So, the leftover buns = (30 - 8) buns

= 22 buns

The buns is the leftover ingredient
