Direct mail advertisers send solicitations​ ("junk mail") to thousands of potential customers in the hope that some will buy the

​ company's product. The response rate is usually quite low. Suppose a company wants to test the response to a new flyer and sends it to 1030 people randomly selected from their mailing list of over​ 200,000 people. They get orders from 103 of the recipients.
Required:
Create a 95% confidence interval for the percentage of people the company contacts who may buy something. (Show your work. Step by step)

Answer:

The interval is (.0817, .118).

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's make this interval! The easy way is to go to STAT->TEST->A, 1-prop z-int, but I will show the long way.

<u>1. Conditions</u>

First we must check the conditions.

<em>Randomization condition: </em>The sample is given to be random, so we can assume independence.

<em>Success/failure condition: </em>Both np>10 and nq>10 must be met.

  • np = 1030(103/1030) = 103 ✓
  • nq = 1030(927/1030) = 927 ✓

<em>10% condition: </em>The sample cannot be greater than 10% of the population.

  • 10n < N, 10(1030) < 200000 ✓

All conditions are met, so we can use <u>a 1-proportion z-interval</u> to represent the data.

<u></u>

<u>2. Mechanics</u>

<u>Find </u>\hat{p}<u>, the sample proportion.</u>

103/1030 = .1

\hat{q}, then, the probability of not p, is 1 - .1 = .9

<u>Find z* (z star), the critical z-value.</u>

You can do this on your calculator using 2nd->VARS->3 (or you can memorize it - it's 1.96. Winky face.) This is called the invNorm function, that takes the left side area under the normal curve. But what do we plug in to the invNorm function?

invNorm(.975) = 1.96

<u>Plug values into the equation.</u>

\hat{p} ± z*\sqrt{\frac{\hat{p}\hat{q}}{n} }

.1 ± 1.96\sqrt{\frac{.1*.9}{1030} }

.1 ± 1.96(.00935)

.1 - .0183 = .0817

.1 + .0183 = .118

(.0817, .118)

<u>3. Conclusion</u>

Based on this sample, we are 95% confident that the proportion of people the company contacts who may buy something is between .0817 and .118. That isn't very likely, but maybe they'll make a little profit!

An interger between -5 and -6
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

None!

Step-by-step explanation:

First off, what is an integer? An integer is a number that is not a fraction or a whole number but it can be negative or positive.

-5 and -6 are both integers and they are both consecutive integers meaning that they are following one another. So they is no integer between -5 and -6.

Three fourths a number plus 8 is 20 less than the number
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

Equation:  \frac{3}{4}n+8=n-20

Solve for n:  n = 112

Step-by-step explanation:

To first set up the equation, you need to look at the verbal description and translate into numbers and operations:

'three fourths a number' =  \frac{3}{4} n

'plus 8' = + 8

'is' =

'20 less' = - 20

'the number' = n

Put the expressions together:

'three fourths a number plus 8':  \frac{3}{4}n+8

'20 less than the number': n - 20

Set them equal to each other and solve: \frac{3}{4}n+8=n-20

Add 20 to both sides: \frac{3}{4}n+8+20=n-20+20

Subtract \frac{3}{4}n from both sides: \frac{3}{4}n-\frac{3}{4}n+28=n-\frac{3}{4}n

Multiply both sides by \frac{4}{1}: \frac{4}{1}28=\frac{1}{4}n\frac{4}{1}

Solve for n:  n = 112

densk [106]
<span>The find step is to find C which is the vertical shift. This is the average between the maximum and minimum. So its 30+70=100/2= 50. the amplitude (A) take the average of the difference between max. temp. and min. value So 70-30= 40/2= 20, but it becomes -20 because the graph is shifted up 50 degrees and decreases to 30 at 4a.m. Then the period is 2pi/B which is 2pi/24, which equals pi/12. A=-20 B= pi/12 C=50</span>
