A randomized telephone survey of adults in the United States determines that a certain number out of 504 respondents have one or

more pets. They use p^ to construct a 95% confidence interval to estimate the proportion p of American adults who have pets to be (0.56137,0.60529).

Answer:

\hat p=\frac{0.56137+0.60529}{2}= 0.58333

The critical value for 95% of confidence is z_{\alpha/2}=1.96

And since we know the total and the proportion is defined as:

\hat p=\frac{X}{n}

If we solve for X (number of people who say yes) we got:

X= 0.58333* 504= 293.998 \approx 294

And the best answer would be:

294

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the confidence interval for the proportion is given by:

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

The margin of error for the proportion interval is given by this formula:  

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

The margin of error can be calculated with this formula:

ME=\frac{0.60529- 0.56137}{2}= 0.02196

And the estimation for the true proportion is:

\hat p=\frac{0.56137+0.60529}{2}= 0.58333

The critical value for 95% of confidence is z_{\alpha/2}=1.96

And since we know the total and the proportion is defined as:

\hat p=\frac{X}{n}

If we solve for X (number of people who say yes) we got:

X= 0.58333* 504= 293.998 \approx 294

And the best answer would be:

294

Explain why all squares must be rectangles but not all rectangles are squares
Neko [114]
A square is a quadrilateral with all four angles right angles and all four sides of the same length. ... Thus every square is a rectangle because it is a quadrilateral with all four angles right angles. However not every rectangle is a square, to be a square its sides must have the same length.

Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

x=-0.688

Step-by-step explanation:

-2496-3744x+36 = -759x-414-10x

-2460-3744x = -769x-414

-2975x = 2046
