Answer:

90% confidence interval for the true proportion of air travelers who prefer the window seat is (0.575, 0.625)

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following data:

Sample size = n = 1000

Proportion of travelers who prefer window seat = p = 60%

Standard Error = SE = 0.015

We need to construct a 90% confidence interval for the proportion of travelers who prefer window seat. Therefore, we will use One-sample z test about population proportion for constructing the confidence interval. The formula to calculate the confidence interval is:

(p-z_{\frac{\alpha}{2}}\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}, p+z_{\frac{\alpha}{2}}\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}})

Since, standard error is calculated as:

SE=\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n} }

Re-writing the formula of confidence interval:

(p-z_{\frac{\alpha}{2}} \times SE, p+z_{\frac{\alpha}{2}} \times SE)

Here, z_{\frac{\alpha}{2}} is the critical value for 90% confidence interval. From the z-table this value comes out to be 1.645.

Substituting all the values in the formula gives us:

(0.6 - 1.645 \times 0.015, 0.6 + 1.645 \times 0.015)\\\\ = (0.575, 0.625)

Therefore, the 90% confidence interval for the true proportion of air travelers who prefer the window seat is (0.575, 0.625)

If 4x+5y=10 and x+3y = 8 then (5x+8y)/3=
aev [14]
First set up a system of equations and solve.

4x+y=10
x+3y=8
In order to have one variable cancel out, I will multiply the top by -3.

-12x-3y=-30
x+3y=8
____________
-11x=-22
x=2

Then plug the x value into one of the original equations.

(2)+3y=8
3y=6
y=2

Now plug both into the final equation:
5(2)+8(2)/3
(10+16)/3
26/3
8.667 is the answer or 26/3.
