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.

Endpoint: (1,7), midpoint: (-10,10)
algol [13]

The answer is (-21, 13) for The second endpoint.  

Let's start by calling the known endpoint L and the unknown K. We'll call the midpoint M. In order to find this, we must first note that to find a midpoint we need to take the average of the endpoints. To do this we add them together and then divide by 2. So, using that, we can write a formula and solve for each part of the k coordinates. We'll start with just x values.

(Kx + Lx)/2 = Mx

(Kx + 1)/2 = -10

Kx + 1 = -20

Kx = -21

And now we do the same thing for y values

(Ky + Ly)/2 = My

(Ky + 7)/2 = 10

Ky + 7 = 20

Ky = 13

This gives us the final point of (-21, 13)
