Answer:

c.A 90% confidence level and a sample size of 300 subjects.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of \pi, and a confidence level 1-\alpha, we have the confidence interval with a margin of error of:

M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

In which

z is the zscore that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}.

In this problem

The proportions are the same for all the options, so we are going to write our margins of error as functions of \sqrt{\pi(1-\pi)}

So

a.A 99% confidence level and a sample size of 50 subjects.

n = 50

99% confidence interval

So \alpha = 0.01, z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{0.01}{2} = 0.995, so Z = 2.575.

The margin of error is

M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = \frac{2.575}{\sqrt{50}}\sqrt{\pi(1-\pi)} = 0.3642\sqrt{\pi(1-\pi)}

b.A 90% confidence level and a sample size of 50 subjects.

n = 50

90% confidence interval

So \alpha = 0.1, z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{0.1}{2} = 0.95, so Z = 1.645.

The margin of error is

M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = \frac{1.645}{\sqrt{50}}\sqrt{\pi(1-\pi)} = 0.2623\sqrt{\pi(1-\pi)}

c.A 90% confidence level and a sample size of 300 subjects.

n = 300

90% confidence interval

So \alpha = 0.1, z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{0.1}{2} = 0.95, so Z = 1.645.

The margin of error is

M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = \frac{1.645}{\sqrt{300}}\sqrt{\pi(1-\pi)} = 0.0950\sqrt{\pi(1-\pi)}

This produces smallest margin of error.

d.A 99% confidence level and a sample size of 300 subjects.

n = 300

99% confidence interval

So \alpha = 0.01, z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{0.01}{2} = 0.995, so Z = 2.575.

The margin of error is

M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = \frac{2.575}{\sqrt{300}}\sqrt{\pi(1-\pi)} = 0.1487\sqrt{\pi(1-\pi)}

Write in point-slope form, slope-intercept form, and standard form an equation that passes through (-1,2) with slope 4.
N76 [4]

point slope form:y-2=4(x+1)

then distribute 4 and simplify y-2=4x+4 , y=4x+6 is the slope -y intercept form

then, move 4x on the left side, you get -4x+y=6 , multiply every term by -1, you get 4x-y=-6 which is standard form.

For a binomial process, the probability of success is 40 percent and the number of trials is 5. Find the standard deviation.
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

Sd(X) =\sqrt{1.2}=1.095

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

The binomial distribution is a "DISCRETE probability distribution that summarizes the probability that a value will take one of two independent values under a given set of parameters. The assumptions for the binomial distribution are that there is only one outcome for each trial, each trial has the same probability of success, and each trial is mutually exclusive, or independent of each other".

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable of interest, on this case we now that:

X \sim Binom(n=5, p=0.4)

The probability mass function for the Binomial distribution is given as:

P(X)=(nCx)(p)^x (1-p)^{n-x}

Where (nCx) means combinatory and it's given by this formula:

nCx=\frac{n!}{(n-x)! x!}

The mean for the binomial distribution is given by:

E(X) =np=5*0.4=2

And the variance is given by:

Var(X) = np(1-p) =5*0.4*(1-0.4)=1.2

And the deviation is just the square root of the variance so we got:

Sd(X) =\sqrt{1.2}=1.095
