Suppose that administrators at a large urban high school want to gain a better understanding of the prevalence of bullying withi

n their school. They select a random sample of 200 students who are asked to complete a survey anonymously. Of these students, 63 report that they have experienced bullying. Use this information to find a 90% z-confidence interval for p, the true proportion of students at this school who have experienced bullying. Give the limits (bounds) of the confidence interval as a proportion, precise to three decimal places.
lower limit =______________

upper limit =___________

Answer:

lower limit =0.261

upper limit =0.369

Step-by-step explanation:

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".  

Description in words of the parameter p

p represent the real population proportion of people that have experienced bullying

X= 63 people in the random sample that have experienced bullying

n=200 is the sample size required  

\hat p=\frac{63}{200}=0.315 represent the estimated proportion of people that have experienced bullying

z_{\alpha/2} 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}})

Numerical estimate for p

In order to estimate a proportion we use this formula:

\hat p =\frac{X}{n} where X represent the number of people with a characteristic and n the total sample size selected.

\hat p=\frac{63}{200}=0.315 represent the estimated proportion of people that they were planning to pursue a graduate degree

Confidence interval

The confidence interval for a proportion is given by this formula  

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

For the 90% confidence interval the value of \alpha=1-0.90=0.1 and \alpha/2=0.05, with that value we can find the quantile required for the interval in the normal standard distribution.  

z_{\alpha/2}=1.64  

And replacing into the confidence interval formula we got:  

0.315 - 1.64 \sqrt{\frac{0.315(1-0.315)}{200}}=0.261  

0.315 - 1.64 \sqrt{\frac{0.315(1-0.315)}{200}}=0.369  

And the 90% confidence interval would be given (0.261;0.369).  

We are confident at 90% that the true proportion of people that they were planning to pursue a graduate degree is between (0.261;0.369).  

lower limit =0.261

upper limit =0.369

Hi there!

a. 8x^2 - 1
(x^2 - 4x + 5) + (7x^2 + 4x - 6)
= x^2 + 7x^2 - 4x + 4x - 1
= 8x^2 - 1

b. 5x^2 + 7x - 7
(7x^2 + 4x - 6) - (2x^2 - 3x + 1)
= 7x^2 + 4x - 6 - 2x^2 + 3x - 1
= 7x^2 - 2x^2 + 4x + 3x - 6 - 1
= 5x^2 + 7x -7

Hope this helps!

Last month, he sold 50 chickens and 30 ducks for $550. This month, he sold 44 chickens and 36 ducks for
STALIN [3.7K]
Answer: chicken $8, duck $5

Explanation:

x - the cost of a chicken
y - the cost of a duck

he sold 50 chickens and 30 ducks for $550: 50x + 30y = 550
he sold 44 chickens and 36 ducks for $532: 44x + 36y = 532

50x + 30y = 550                divide by 10
44x + 36y = 550                 divide by 4
______________
50x/10 + 30y/10 = 550/10
44x/4 + 36y/4 = 532/4
______________
5x + 3y = 55                                    
Multiply by (-3)
11x + 9y = 133
______________
5x * (-3) + 3y * (-3) = 55 * (-3)
11x + 9y = 133
______________
-15x - 9y = -165
11x + 9y = 133
______________
Sum up:
-4x + 0y = -32
-4x = -32
x = -32/-4
x = 8

Since 5x + 3y = 55  and x = 8, then:
5 * 8 + 3y = 55
40 + 3y = 55
3y = 55 - 40
3y = 15
y = 15/3
y = 5

A shirt costs $5 less than a sweater. Together they cost<br> $25. How much does the sweater cost?
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

Shirt: $7.5

Sweater: $17.5

Step-by-step explanation:

25/2=12.5

Shirt is 5 less than Sweater

12.5-5=7.5

Add 5 to sweater cost

12.5+5=17.5

Shirt=7.5 Sweater=17.5

17.5+7.5=25

Pete has 3 dollars less than what Linda has. If together has 81 dollars how much does each person have?
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

Pete: 39, Linda: 42

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose Pete has x dollars. If he has 3 dollars less than Linda, then Linda has 3+x dollars. Together, they have 81 dollars:

x+3+x=81

2x+3=81

2x=78

x=39

Since Pete has x dollars, and x=39, he has $39.

Linda has 3+x, which is 39+3 = $42

<em>I hope this helps! :)</em>
