Answer:

(0.411-0.7) - 1.96 \sqrt{\frac{0.411(1-0.411)}{73} +\frac{0.7(1-0.7)}{80}}=-0.4401  

(0.411-0.7) + 1.96 \sqrt{\frac{0.411(1-0.411)}{73} +\frac{0.7(1-0.7)}{80}}=-0.1380  

We are confident at 95% that the difference between the two proportions is between -0.4401 \leq p_B -p_A \leq -0.1380

1.  -.4401 ≤ p1 - p2 ≤ -.1380

4.  The rate of mail carriers being bitten in San Jose is statistically less than the rate San Francisco at α = 5%

Step-by-step explanation:

In San Jose a sample of 73 mail carriers showed that 30 had been bitten by an animal during one week. In San Francisco in a sample of 80 mail carriers, 56 had received animal bites. Is there a significant difference in the proportions? Use a 0.05. Find the 95% confidence interval for the difference of the two proportions. Sellect all correct statements below based on the data given in this problem.

1.  -.4401 ≤ p1 - p2 ≤ -.1380

2.  -.4401 ≤ p1 - p2 ≤ .1380

3.  The rate of mail carriers being bitten in San Jose is statistically greater than the rate San Francisco at α = 5%

4.  The rate of mail carriers being bitten in San Jose is statistically less than the rate San Francisco at α = 5%

5.  The rate of mail carriers being bitten in San Jose and San Francisco are statistically equal at α = 5%

Solution to the problem

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".  

p_1 represent the real population proportion for San Jose

\hat p_1 =\frac{30}{73}=0.411 represent the estimated proportion for San Jos

n_1=73 is the sample size required for San Jose

p_2 represent the real population proportion for San Francisco

\hat p_2 =\frac{56}{80}=0.7 represent the estimated proportion for San Francisco

n_2=80 is the sample size required for San Francisco

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_1 -\hat p_1) \pm z_{\alpha/2} \sqrt{\frac{\hat p_1(1-\hat p_1)}{n_1} +\frac{\hat p_2 (1-\hat p_2)}{n_2}}  

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:  

(0.411-0.7) - 1.96 \sqrt{\frac{0.411(1-0.411)}{73} +\frac{0.7(1-0.7)}{80}}=-0.4401  

(0.411-0.7) + 1.96 \sqrt{\frac{0.411(1-0.411)}{73} +\frac{0.7(1-0.7)}{80}}=-0.1380  

We are confident at 95% that the difference between the two proportions is between -0.4401 \leq p_B -p_A \leq -0.1380

Since the confidence interval contains all negative values we can conclude that the proportion for San Jose is significantly lower than the proportion for San Francisco at 5% level.

Based on this the correct options are:

1.  -.4401 ≤ p1 - p2 ≤ -.1380

4.  The rate of mail carriers being bitten in San Jose is statistically less than the rate San Francisco at α = 5%

An observer (O) spots a plane (P) taking off from a local airport and flying at a 33° angle horizontal to her line of sight and
docker41 [41]

Answer:

the distance of the Bird (B) from the plane (P)  is = 10779  ft

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information:

a diagrammatic representation is attached below for better understanding and solution to the question.

From the diagram;

Let the Bird (B) be represent as A

The plane (P) be represented by B

The observer be represented by O

and the tower T be represented by C

we will see that:

\overline {AB}  \ \| \ \overline {OC}

Also;

\angle ABO = \angle BOC = 33^0

AO = BC = 7000

Let consider the trigonometry of  triangle BAO

tan θ = opposite/adjacent

tan 33° = 7000/x

0.6494 = 7000/x

x = 7000/0.6494

x = 10779.18

x = 10779  ft    ( to the nearest whole number)

Thus; the distance of the Bird (B) from the plane (P)  is = 10779  ft
