Answer:

1 light-minute ≈ 1.12×10⁷ miles, three significant figures.

Step-by-step explanation:

Light-second is equal to the distance traveled per second by light in space, which is equal to 299,792,458 metres. Other units used are light-day, light-hour and light-minute.

Significant figures are the figures or digits of a number that carry meaning and contribute to the precision of the given number.

1 light-minute = 1.118×10⁷ miles, has four significant figures.

To express this number in three significant figures, the given number is rounded.

1 light-minute = 1.118×10⁷ miles ≈ 1.12×10⁷ miles, has three significant figures, as the non-zero digits are significant.

One True Love? A survey that asked whether people agree or disagree with the statement ‘‘There is only one true love for each pe

sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

99% confidence interval for the proportion of people who disagree with the statement is [0.667 , 0.713].

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a survey that asked whether people agree or disagree with the statement ‘‘There is only one true love for each person." has been conducted. The result is that 735 of the 2625 respondents agreed, 1812 disagreed, and 78 answered ‘‘don’t know."

Firstly, the pivotal quantity for 99% confidence interval for the population proportion is given by;

P.Q. = $\frac{\hat p-p}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ ~ N(0,1)

where, $\hat p$ = sample proportion of people who disagree with the statement = $\frac{1812}{2625}$ = 0.69

n = sample of respondents = 2625

p = population proportion of people who disagree with statement

Here for constructing 99% confidence interval we have used One-sample z proportion statistics.

So, 99% confidence interval for the population proportion, p is ;

P(-2.58 < N(0,1) < 2.58) = 0.99 {As the critical value of z at 0.5% level

of significance are -2.58 & 2.58}

P(-2.58 < $\frac{\hat p-p}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ < 2.58) = 0.99

P( $-2.58 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ < ${\hat p-p}$ < $2.58 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ ) = 0.99

P( $\hat p-2.58 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ < p < $\hat p+2.58 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ ) = 0.99

99% confidence interval for p = [ $\hat p-2.58 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ , $\hat p+2.58 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ ]

= [ $0.69-2.58 \times {\sqrt{\frac{0.69(1-0.69)}{2625} } }$ , $0.69+2.58 \times {\sqrt{\frac{0.69(1-0.69)}{2625} } }$ ]

= [0.667 , 0.713]

Therefore, 99% confidence interval for the proportion of people who disagree with the statement is [0.667 , 0.713].

Answer:

Probability

Step-by-step explanation:

In this game, the players rely entirely on chance to win, rather than skill. Therefore, this game would be particularly useful in helping students' understanding of probability.
