Sleep deprivation, CA vs. OR, Part I. According to a report on sleep deprivation by the Centers for Disease Control and Preventi

on, the proportion of California residents who reported insufficient rest or sleep during each of the preceding 30 days is 8.0%, while this proportion is 8.8% for Oregon residents. These data are based on simple random samples of 11,545 California and 4,691 Oregon residents. Calculate a 95% confidence interval for the difference between the proportions of Californians and Oregonians who are sleep deprived and interpret it in context of the data.

Answer:

0.008±0.0095=(-0.0015,0.0175)

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case we must use the formula to calculate the confidence interval for the difference between two proportions given by inferential statistics. The formula to calculate both limits of the interval is as it follows:

(p_{1}-p_{2} )+\sqrt[]{\frac{p_{1}(1-p_{1})}{n_{1} }+\frac{p_{2}(1-p_{2})}{n_{2}}  } \\(p_{1}-p_{2} )-\sqrt[]{\frac{p_{1}(1-p_{1})}{n_{1} }+\frac{p_{2}(1-p_{2})}{n_{2}}  }

Where:

p_{1}: proportion of population one (in our case: Oregon residents who reported insufficient rest or sleep)

p_{2}: proportion of population two (in our case: California residents who reported insufficient rest or sleep)

z_{(∝/2)}: quantile of the normal distribution with α/2 probability (in our case, from the standard normal table we have 1.96 for a confidence level of 95%)

n_{1}: sample size for population one (in our case, sample of Oregon residents)

n_{2}: sample size for population two (in our case, sample of California residents)

Now, with our data we have:

p_{1}=0.088  

p_{2}=0.08  

z_{(∝/2)}=1.96  

n_{1}=4,691  

n_{2}=11,545  

Therefore, we obtain:

(0.088-0.08)+1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.088(1-0.088)}{4,691}+\frac{0.08(1-0.08)}{11,545} } \\(0.088-0.08)-1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.088(1-0.088)}{4,691}+\frac{0.08(1-0.08)}{11,545} }

Finally, the result for our interval:

0.008+0.0095=(-0.0015,0.0175)

According to the result we can say with a 95% confidence, that the proportion of Oregon residents with sleep deprivation issues is the same as the proportion of California residents. The reason for this is that 0 (zero) is contained within the interval.

Apply the laws of exponents, calculate the result and express the result in scientific notation, and as a decimal: (8.1*10^-4)^2
AfilCa [17]
<h3>Answer:</h3>
  • the result in scientific notation is 6.561×10⁻⁷
  • the result as a decimal is 0.000 000 656 1
<h3>Explanation:</h3>

The rules of exponents say the exponent outside parentheses applies to each factor inside parentheses.

... (8.1*10^-4)^2 = 8.1^2 × (10^-4)^2

... = 65.61 × 10^-8

... = 6.561 × 10^-7 . . . . adjust to scientific notation with one digit left of the decimal point

The exponent of -7 means the decimal point in the decimal number is 7 places to the left of where it is in scientific notation. That is ...

... 6.561 × 10^-7 = 0.0000006561

Goryan [66]
<span>A) How many cups of flour are there per serving? 

</span>1 ½ cups of flour --------<span>6 servings
?     cups of flour ------- 1 serving

      </span>1 ½ 
------------ 
        6 

= 3/2 x 1/6
= 1/4

answer: 1/4 cups of flour per serving

<span>B) how many total cups of sugar(white and brown) are there per serving?
</span>total white and brown: <span>2/3 + 1/3 = 3/3 = 1 cups (combine)

1 cup of sugar (white and brown) </span>--------6 servings
? cups of sugar (white and brown) ------ 1 serving

-----  = 1/6
  6
answer: 1/6 cups of sugar (white and brown) per serving

<span> (c) Suppose you modify the recipe so that it makes 9 servings. How much more flour do you need for the modified recipe than you need for the original recipe?
</span>
3/2  cups of flour --------6 servings
? cups of flour -----------9 servings


  9 * 3/2             
-----------  
      6

= (13 1/2) / 6
= 2 1/4

2 1/4 ( 9 servings) - 1 1/2(6 servings) = 3/4 cups

answer: you need 3/4 more cups of flour

Jackie has cheering practice on Thursday and Friday if it doesn't rain. Thursday there is a 20% chance of rain and Friday there
Mice21 [21]
<span>There is a 20% (or 20/100chance) it will rain on Thursday and there is a 40% (or 40/100) chance it will rain on Friday. In order to find out the probability of it raining both days, we need to multiply these two values. (40/100)(20/100)= 800/10,000= 0.08. We move the decimal over two places to get a percent, so we get an 8% chance it will rain on both Thursday and Friday.</span>
