Simplify the expression. - | -13 | =

1 answer:

5 0

Since the -13 has the absolute value signs next to it, the 13 becomes a positive, but there is a negative outside the absolute value, and the negative sign and the absolute value sign cancelled previously, so the expressions is now
-13
The absolute value signs cancel out a negative only inside the signs, not outside, so the negative sign in the outside keeps.

Of 575 broiler chickens purchased from various kinds of food stores in different regions of a country and tested for types of ba

chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

a) $0.68 - 2.58 \sqrt{\frac{0.68(1-0.68)}{575}}=0.630$

$0.68 + 2.58 \sqrt{\frac{0.68(1-0.68)}{575}}=0.730$

And the 99% confidence interval would be given (0.630;0.730).

b) We are 99% confident that the true proportion of infected chickens are between 0.63 (63%) and 0.73 (73%)

c) For this case the answer would be No. Since all the required assumptions in order to construct the confidence interval are satisfied, so then the results can be assumed for all the population

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

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".

$p$ represent the real population proportion of interest

$\hat p =0.68$ represent the estimated proportion

n=575 is the sample size required (variable of interest)

$z$ represent the critical value for the margin of error

The population proportion have the following distribution

$p \sim N(p,\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}})$

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 99% confidence interval the value of $\alpha=1-0.99=0.01$ and $\alpha/2=0.005$ , with that value we can find the quantile required for the interval in the normal standard distribution.

$z_{\alpha/2}=2.58$

And replacing into the confidence interval formula we got:

$0.68 - 2.58 \sqrt{\frac{0.68(1-0.68)}{575}}=0.630$

$0.68 + 2.58 \sqrt{\frac{0.68(1-0.68)}{575}}=0.730$

And the 99% confidence interval would be given (0.630;0.730).

Part b

We are 99% confident that the true proportion of infected chickens are between 0.63 (63%) and 0.73 (73%)

Part c

For this case the answer would be No. Since all the required assumptions in order to construct the confidence interval are satisfied, so then the results can be assumed for all the population

Suppose one bag contains 500 cubic inches of confetti. How many bags will Student Government need to fill 100 containers? If the

Vanyuwa [196]

The number of bags that they will need if each bag contains 500 cubic inches of confetti is 20,000

<h3>How to find the total volume ?</h3>

One bag contains 500 cubic inches of confetti.

Therefore,

1 bag = 500 inches³

The student need to fill 100 containers with the bag.

Each container can accomodates 100,000 cubic inches.

Therefore,

1 bag = 500 inches³

100,000inches³ = 1 container = 200 bags

Therefore,

100 containers will contain 20, 000 bags of confetti.
