Answer:

0.7 - 2.58 \sqrt{\frac{0.7(1-0.7)}{500}}=0.647

0.7 + 2.58 \sqrt{\frac{0.7(1-0.7)}{500}}=0.753

And the 99% confidence interval would be given (0.647;0.753).

So the correct answer would be:

a. 0.647 and 0.753

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The population proportion have the following distribution

p \sim N(p,\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}})

Solution to the problem

The estimated population proportion for this case is:

\hat p = \frac{350}{500}=0.7

The confidence interval would be given by this formula

\hat p \pm z_{\alpha/2} \sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}

For the 99% confidence interval the value of \alpha=1-0.99=0.01 and \alpha/2=0.005, with that value we can find the quantile required for the interval in the normal standard distribution.

z_{\alpha/2}=2.58

And replacing into the confidence interval formula we got:

0.7 - 2.58 \sqrt{\frac{0.7(1-0.7)}{500}}=0.647

0.7 + 2.58 \sqrt{\frac{0.7(1-0.7)}{500}}=0.753

And the 99% confidence interval would be given (0.647;0.753).

So the correct answer would be:

a. 0.647 and 0.753

Simplify the expression: 5(–4 + 3g)
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

-20 + 15g

Step-by-step explanation:

5 multiplied by -4 is -20

5 multiplied by 3g is 15 g.

because these two variables do not both have a g with them, this is the most they can be simplified. hope this helps!

In the diagram below,AB is the diameter of the circle with centre P.Point C lies on the y-axis.Given the coordinates of A and B
Step2247 [10]

Answer:

<em>The coordinates of P are (-2,0)</em>

<em>The radius of the circle is 5.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Analytic geometry</u>

The diagram shows a circle with center P, and two points A(-6,3) and B(2,-3) that form the diameter of the circle.

a)

The center of the circle lies at the midpoint of A and B. The midpoint (xm,ym) can be calculated by:

\displaystyle x_m=\frac{x_1+x_2}{2}

\displaystyle y_m=\frac{y_1+y_2}{2}

Substituting x1=-6, x2=2, y1=3, y2=-3:

\displaystyle x_m=\frac{-6+2}{2}=\frac{-4}{2}=-2

\displaystyle y_m=\frac{3-3}{2}=0

Thus, the coordinates of P are (-2,0)

b) The radius of the circle is the distance from the center to any point in its circumference. We can use the distance from P to A or B indistinctly.

Given two points A(x1,y1) and P(x2,y2), the distance between them is:

d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}

Substituting x1=-6, x2=-2, y1=3, y2=0:

r=\sqrt{(-2+6)^2+(0-3)^2}

r=\sqrt{4^2+(-3)^2}

r=\sqrt{16+9}=\sqrt{25}=5

The radius of the circle is 5.

Linda had been collecting stamps for 5 weeks and had 25 stamps in her stamp book. Her book holds 64 stamps. She then began purch
coldgirl [10]
25 divided by 5 is 5 so she gave 5 stamps each week
64 divide by 3 would roughly be 12 weeks because otherwise it would be a renainder
12 add 5 equals 17 weeks
So it should take 17 weeks
hope this is right Please ask me if any doubts
Thank you Good Luck

Find the perimeter of the rectangle? Needs to be in standard form
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

<u>6b - 4a + 22 units</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter = 2(length + width)

= 2(3b - 4a + 5 + 6 + 2a)

= 2(3b - 2a + 11)

= <u>6b - 4a + 22 units</u>
