Suppose that a market research firm is hired to estimate the percent of adults living in a large city who have cell phones. 500

randomly selected adult residents in this city are surveyed to determine whether they have cell phones. Of the 500 people surveyed, 421 responded yes – they own cell phones. Using a 95% confidence level, compute a confidence interval estimate for the true proportion of adults residents of this city who have cell phones.

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval estimate for the true proportion of adults residents of this city who have cell phones is (0.81, 0.874).

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of \pi, and a confidence level of 1-\alpha, we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

In which

z is the zscore that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}.

For this problem, we have that:

n = 500, \pi = \frac{421}{500} = 0.842

95% confidence level

So \alpha = 0.05, z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{0.05}{2} = 0.975, so Z = 1.96.

The lower limit of this interval is:

\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.842 - 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.842*0.158}{500}} = 0.81

The upper limit of this interval is:

\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.842 + 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.842*0.158}{500}} = 0.874

The 95% confidence interval estimate for the true proportion of adults residents of this city who have cell phones is (0.81, 0.874).

Ty has 230 pages of text to
Alona [7]
The first thing I would do is divide the rate by 1 1/4, to get the amount per hour which gives us this:
                      20 pages per 1 hour
Now, that we know he reads 20 pages per hour, we just divide 230 by 20 to find the amount of hours. Our answer comes out to 11.5 hours.

For (x - 1)(x - 7) to equal 0, either (x - 1) or (x - 7) must equal what?
Kisachek [45]
(x - 1)(x - 7) = 0

{x}^{2} - 8x + 7 = 0

{x}^{2} - 8x = - 7

- 7x = \frac{ - 7}{x}

x = \frac{ - 7}{ \frac{x}{ - 7} } \implies x = x \implies x \in \mathbb{R}

x is true for any number in real domain.

Which are correct representations of the inequality 6x2 3 + 4(2x - 1)? Select three options.
olga2289 [7]

Answer:

Option A, B, and C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given, 6x ≥ 3 + 4(2x - 1),

Solve to find the correct representations given in the options.

6x ≥ 3 + 4(2x - 1)

Apply distributive property

6x ≥ 3 + 8x - 4 (option B is correct) ✅

Add like terms

6x ≥ -1 + 8x

Add 1 to both sides

6x + 1 ≥ 8x

Subtract 6x from each side

1 ≥ 8x - 6x

1 ≥ 2x (option A is correct) ✅

Divide both sides by 2

1/2 ≥ 2x/2

½ ≥ x

½ ≥ x means all possible values of x are less than 0.5. representing this inequality on a graph, we would have the directed line starting at 0.5 moving towards our left.

This make option C correct.✅
