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).

<h3>Volume:</h3>

With this prism, first separate it into a rectangular prism and a right triangle prism.

First, with the rectangular prism, it would have the units 5 * 5 * 6.3. Then with the right triangle prism, it would take the rest of the remaining space of it, being 3 * 5 * 6.3

The equation for the volume of a rectangular prism is L*W*H and the equation for the volume of a right triangle prism is (L*W*H) / 2.

With this, plug the numbers in for both prisms to get the volume of each of them:

<u>Rectangular prism Volume</u>

5*5*6.3

<em>157.5</em>

<u>Right triangle prism Volume</u>

(3*5*6.3) / 2

94.5 / 2

<em>47.25</em>

Lastly, combine these two values to get the total volume:

157.5 + 47.25 = 204.75 (Round Up) -->

<em><u>204.8 cm^3 = Total Volume </u></em>

<h3>Surface Area:</h3>

Next, with the surface area of the prism. For this, lets combine all of the faces of the prism then add them all up.

First, lets do the bottom of the prism, or the base. It uses the lengths 8 cm and 6.3 cm. Lets do L * W to get the area of this face:

8 * 6.3 = 50.4

Next, lets do the slant side of it, which has the lengths 5.8 and 6.3.

5.8 * 6.3 = 36.54

Then, the top side with the lengths 5cm and 6.3 cm.

5.3 * 6.3 = 33.39

After that, the left side face that opposite to the slantly one:

5 * 6.3 = 31.5

Saving the most tedious part of it for last, the right trapezoids. Luckily, there is an equation for this:

<em>1/2 x (Sum of parallel sides) x (perpendicular distance between the parallel sides).</em>

<em>So, within each of these right </em>trapezoids, there's the parallel sides of 5 and 8. There's also a perpendicular side of 5cm. With this, we can plug this into the equation to solve for this part:

1/2 x (5+8) * (5)

1/2 x (13) * (5)

1/2 x (65)

32.5

Since there's two of them, times this by 2:

32.5 * 2 ---> 65.

Now, with the area of all of the faces, these can be added up for the total surface area:

50.4 + 36.54 + 33.39 + 31.5 + 65 ---> 216.83 (Round Down)-->

<u><em>216.8 cm^2 = Total Surface Area</em></u>

How does the graph of y = sec(x + 3) – 7 compare with the graph of y = sec(x)?
Alla [95]

Answer:

The function y = sec(x) shifted 3 units left and 7 units down .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function: y = sec(x)

  • If k is any positive real number, then the graph of f(x) - k is  the graph of y = f(x) shifted downward k units.
  • If p is a positive real  number, then the  graph of f(x+p) is  the graph of y=f(x)  shifted to the left  p units.

The function y = \sec(x+3)-7 comes from the base function y= sec(x).  

Since 3 is added added on the inside, this  is a horizontal shift Left 3 unit, and since 7 is subtracted on the outside, this is a vertical shift  down 7 units.

Therefore, the transformation on the given function is shifted  3 units left and 7 units down

Find Mean, Median, mode and range. Round to the nearest tenth.
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

  • Mean = 26.24
  • Median = 27
  • Mode = 32
  • Range = 38

Step-by-step explanation:

Plotting the original data from leaf plot

9,11,12,12,14,17,25,25,27,32,32,32,33,35,41,42,47

<em><u>Finding Mean:</u></em>

The mean of a data set is the sum of the terms divided by the total number of terms. Using math notation we have:

                                                            \mu=\frac{446}{17}

                                                                = 26.24

Therefore, the range = 26.24.

<u>Finding Median:</u>

The median is the middle number in a sorted list of numbers. So, to find the median, we need to place the numbers in value order and find the middle number.

Ordering the data from least to greatest, we get:

9   11   12   12   14   17   25   25   27   32   32   32   33   35   41   42   47  

So, the median is 27 .

<em><u>Finding Mode: </u></em>

The mode of a set of data is the value in the set that occurs most often.

Ordering the data from least to greatest, we get:

9   11   12   12   14   17   25   25   27   32   32   32   33   35   41   42   47

We see that the mode is 32.

<em><u>Finding Range:</u></em>

The range is the difference between the highest and lowest values in the data set.

Ordering the data from least to greatest, we get:

9   11   12   12   14   17   25   25   27   32   32   32   33   35   41   42   47

The lowest value is 9.

The highest value is 47.

The range = 47 - 9 = 38
