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.

Write down a fraction whose value lies between 3 and 4; whose denominator is a multiple of 5; whose numerator is a multiple of 1
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

  33/10 and 55/15

Step-by-step explanation:

Possible denominators that are multiples of 5 less than 17 are 5, 10, 15.

Corresponding numerator ranges are [15, 20], [30, 40], and [45, 60]. In only two of these ranges are there any multiples of 11.

  33 in [30, 40]

  55 in [45, 60]

So, there are only two possible fractions meeting your requirement:

  33/10 and 55/15

What would the answer be???
Korolek [52]

Answer:

The solution is obtained by adding the two equations.

The solution is: (x, y) = ($ - \frac{2}{3} $, $ - \frac{7}{3} $)

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given two equations with two variables. The strategy is to eliminate one variable and solve for both the variables.

The two equations are:

$ 7x + y = - 7 \hspace{15mm} \hdots (1) $

$ 2x - y = 1 \hspace{15mm} \hdots (2) $

Adding both the equations, we get:

$ 7x + 2x + y - y = - 7 + 1 $

$ \implies 9x = - 6 $

$ \implies x = - \frac{2}{3} $

Substituting the value of 'x', we get the value of y.

We substitute in (2). [Can be substituted in any equation].

We get: y = 2x - 1

$ \imples y = 2\bigg(\frac{-2}{3}\bigg) - 1 $

$ \implies -\frac{4}{3} - 1 $

$ \implies y = -\frac{7}{3} $

So, we get the corresponding values of x and y which is the solution of the two equations.
