Answer:

0.333 - 2.58 \sqrt{\frac{0.333(1-0.333)}{219}}=0.251

0.333 + 2.58 \sqrt{\frac{0.333(1-0.333)}{219}}=0.416

The 99% confidence interval would be given (0.251;0.416).

(25.0 ,41.6)

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Data given and notation  

n=219 represent the random sample taken    

X=73 represent the students that reported that they have at least $1000 of credit card debt.

\hat p=\frac{73}{219}=0.333 estimated proportion of students that reported that they have at least $1000 of credit card debt.

\alpha=0.01 represent the significance level

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)    

p= population proportion of students that reported that they have at least $1000 of credit card debt.

2) Confidence interval

The confidence interval would be given by this formula

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

For the 99% confidence interval the value of \alpha=1-0.99=0.01 and \alpha/2=0.005, with that value we can find the quantile required for the interval in the normal standard distribution.

z_{\alpha/2}=2.58

And replacing into the confidence interval formula we got:

0.333 - 2.58 \sqrt{\frac{0.333(1-0.333)}{219}}=0.251

0.333 + 2.58 \sqrt{\frac{0.333(1-0.333)}{219}}=0.416

And the 99% confidence interval would be given (0.251;0.416).

We are confident that about 25.1% to 41.6% of students have at least $1000 of credit card debt.

And for this case the most accurate option is:

(25.0 ,41.6)

Question 6(Multiple Choice Worth 1 points) (02.05 MC) Choose the table that represents g(x) = 4⋅f(x) when f(x) = x − 5. x g(x) 1
RSB [31]

Answer: (b)

x g(x)

1 -16

2 -12

3 -8

If g(x) is 4*f(x), then we can find g(x) by multiplying 4 by x-5

g(x) = 4(x-5)

= 4x-20

Now we can plug in 1,2, and 3 for x to see which table makes sense.

g(1) = 4(1) - 20

= -16

g(2) = 4(2) - 20

= -12

g(3) = 4(3) - 20

= -8

hope this helps

The diameter of a circle is 6 m. Find its area in terms of π π.
Xelga [282]

Step-by-step explanation:

this is totally simple.

the formula for the area of a circle (as you can find with any search on the internet in seconds) :

A = pi×r²

r is the radius.

and once you understand even the most basics of a circle, you know that the radius is half of the diameter.

so, in our case, r = 6/2 = 3 m

the area of the circle is therefore

pi×r² = pi×3² = pi×9 m²

Given the function {f(x)=32-x}^{2}f(x)=32−x 2 , what is f(-5)f(−5)?
erastova [34]

Step-by-step explanation:

the description is very difficult to understand with special characters and potential typing errors.

I suspect the definition is

function(x) = 32 - x²

function(-5)function(-5) is then very easily calculated.

we need to calculate function(-5) and then square the result, as function(-5)function(-5) is just a simple multiplication of the function results.

function(-5) = 32 - (-5)² = 32 - 25 = 7

so,

function(-5)function(-5) = 7 × 7 = 49
