Two​ researchers, Jaime and​ Mariya, are each constructing confidence intervals for the proportion of a population who is​ left-

handed. They find the point estimate is 0.12. Each independently constructed a confidence interval based on the point​ estimate, but​ Jaime's interval has a lower bound of 0.078 and an upper bound of 0.193​, while​ Mariya's interval has a lower bound of 0.051 and an upper bound of 0.189. Which interval is​ wrong? Why?

Answer:

Jaime's. Interval not centered around the point estimate.

Step-by-step explanation:

When constructing a confidence interval based on a point estimate, the obtained point estimate must be the central value of the interval.

For Jaime's interval

Lower bound = 0.078

Upper Bound = 0.193

Central = \frac{0.078+0.193}{2} =0.1355

For Mariya's interval

Lower bound = 0.051

Upper Bound = 0.189

Central = \frac{0.051+0.189}{2} =0.12

For a point estimate of 0.12, only Mariya's interval is adequate since Jaime's is not centered around the point estimate.

Find domain and range -√x-5+10
inysia [295]
When finding the domain of a square root, you have to know that it is impossible to get the square root of 0 or any negative number. since domain is possible x values this means that x cannot be 0 or any number less than 0. However, you can find the square root of the smallest most infinitely small number greater than 0. since an infinitely small number close to zero can not be written out, we must must say that the domain starts at 0 exclusive. exclusive is represented by an open or close parenthesis so in this case the domain starts with:
(0,
we can get the square root of any number larger than 0 up to infinity but infinity can never be reached so it is also exclusive. So so the ending of our domain would be:
,infinity)
So the answer if the square root is only over the x the answer is
(0, infinity)

But if the square root is over the x- 5 then this would brIng a smaller amount of possible x values. since anything under the square root sign has to be greater than 0, you can say that:
(x - 5) > 0
x > 5
Therefore the domain would start at 5 and the answer would be:
(5, infinity)
