A magazine reports that women trust recommendations from a particular social networking site more than recommendations from any

other social network platform. But does trust in this social networking site differ by gender? The following sample data show the number of women and men who stated in a recent sample that they trust recommendations made on this particular social networking site.
Women Men
Sample 150 170
Trust Recommendations Made-
on the social networking site 123 102

(a) What is the point estimate of the proportion of women who trust recommendations made on this particular social networking site?
(b) What is the point estimate of the proportion of men who trust recommendations made on this particular social networking site?
(c) Provide a 95% confidence interval estimate of the difference between the proportion of women and men who trust recommendations made on this particular social networking site. (Round your answers to four decimal places.)

Answer:

(0.82-0.6) - 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.82(1-0.82)}{150} +\frac{0.6(1-0.6)}{170}}=0.1241  

(0.82-0.6) + 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.82(1-0.82)}{150} +\frac{0.6(1-0.6)}{170}}=0.3159  

And the 95% confidence interval would be given (0.1241;0.3159).  

We are confident at 95% that the difference between the two proportions is between 0.1241 \leq p_A -p_B \leq 0.3159

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".  

Part b

p_A represent the real population proportion for male

\hat p_A =\frac{123}{150}=0.82 represent the estimated proportion for male

n_A=150 is the sample size required for male

Part a

p_B represent the real population proportion for female

\hat p_B =\frac{102}{170}=0.6 represent the estimated proportion for male

n_B=170 is the sample size required for female

z represent the critical value for the margin of error  

The population proportion have the following distribution  

p \sim N(p,\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}})  

The confidence interval for the difference of two proportions would be given by this formula  

(\hat p_A -\hat p_B) \pm z_{\alpha/2} \sqrt{\frac{\hat p_A(1-\hat p_A)}{n_A} +\frac{\hat p_B (1-\hat p_B)}{n_B}}  

For the 95% confidence interval the value of \alpha=1-0.95=0.05 and \alpha/2=0.025, with that value we can find the quantile required for the interval in the normal standard distribution.  

z_{\alpha/2}=1.96  

And replacing into the confidence interval formula we got:  

(0.82-0.6) - 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.82(1-0.82)}{150} +\frac{0.6(1-0.6)}{170}}=0.1241  

(0.82-0.6) + 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.82(1-0.82)}{150} +\frac{0.6(1-0.6)}{170}}=0.3159  

And the 95% confidence interval would be given (0.1241;0.3159).  

We are confident at 95% that the difference between the two proportions is between 0.1241 \leq p_A -p_B \leq 0.3159

3x+30+x=10+2x+5x+2 <br> i need help fast
kupik [55]

Answer:

x=6

Step-by-step explanation:

Group Like Terms:

3x+x+30=10+2x+5x+2

Add similar elements 3x+x=4x:

4x+30=10+2x+5x+2

Add similar elements 2x+5x=7x:

4x+30=10+7x+2

Group like terms:

4x+30=7x+10+2

Add the numbers 10+2=12:

4x+30=7x+12

Subtract 30 from both sides:

4x+30-30=7x+12-30

Simplify:

4x=7x-18

Subtract 7x from both sides:

4x-7x=7x-18-7x

Simplify:

-3x=-18

Divide both sides by -3:

\frac{-3x}{-3} =\frac{-18}{-3}

Simplify:

x=6

Hence, the correct answer is 6

Write the equation of a quadratic function who has the vertex of (4,-7)
timama [110]

Given:

The vertex of a quadratic function is (4,-7).

To find:

The equation of the quadratic function.

Solution:

The vertex form of a quadratic function is:

y=a(x-h)^2+k          ...(i)

Where a is a constant and (h,k) is vertex.

The vertex is at point (4,-7).

Putting h=4 and k=-7 in (i), we get

y=a(x-4)^2+(-7)

y=a(x-4)^2-7

The required equation of the quadratic function is y=a(x-4)^2-7 where, a is a constant.

Putting a=1, we get

y=(1)(x-4)^2-7

y=(x^2-8x+16)-7             [\because (a-b)^2=a^2-2ab+b^2]

y=x^2-8x+9

Therefore, the required quadratic function is y=x^2-8x+9.
