It is believed that 11% of all Americans are left-handed. In a random sample of 100 students from a particular college with 1012

3 students, 14 were left-handed. Find a 98% confidence interval for the percentage of all students at this particular college who are left-handed.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We can calculate this confidence interval using the population proportion calculation. To do this we must find p' and q'

Where p' = 14/100= 0.14 (no of left handed sample promotion)

q' = 1-p' = 1-0.14= 0.86

Since the requested confidence level is CL = 0.98, then α = 1 – CL = 1 – 0.98 = 0.02/2= 0.01, z (0.01) = 2.326

Using p' - z alpha √(p'q'/n) for the lower interval - 0.14-2.326√(0.14*0.86/100)

= -2.186√0.00325

= -2.186*0.057

= 12.46%

Using p' + z alpha √(p'q'/n)

0.14+2.326√(0.14*0.86/100)

= 0.466*0.057

= 26.5%

Thus we estimate with 98% confidence that between 12% and 27% of all Americans are left handed.

A triangle has one side that lies along the line y=1/4x and another that lies along the line y=-1/4x. Which of the following poi
mestny [16]

Answer:

We know that our triangle has one side along the line:

y = (1/4)*x

And other side along the line:

y = -(1/4)*x.

Now, we want to find the vertex.

And we know that the vertex is the point where the two sides conect, so the vertex must be a common point of both lines.

Then we have:

y = (1/4)*x = -(1/4)*x

x = -x

The only solution to that equation is x = 0.

now we evaluate our lines in x = 0 and get:

y = (1/4)*0 = 0

y = -(1/4)*0 = 0

Then the lines intersect in the point (0, 0)

Then the vertex must be in the point (0, 0)

Between what two integers is the square root of 147
Sergio039 [100]
One of the more familiar squares is 144; the sqrt of 144 is 12.  The next higher perfect square is 169, whose square root is 13.    Thus, the sqrt of 147 lies between 144 and 169.
