A random sample of 400 Michigan State University (MSU) students were surveyed recently to determine an estimate for the proporti

on of all MSU students who had attended at least three football games. The estimate revealed that between .372 and .458 of all MSU students attended. Given this information, we can determine that the confidence coefficient was approximately: a. .92 b. .95 c. .88 d. .90 e. .99

Answer:

a. .92

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of \pi, and a confidence level of 1-\alpha, we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

In which

z is the zscore that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}.

The margin of error of the interval is:

M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

The lower bound is the point estimate \pi subtracted by the margin of error.

The upper bound is the point estimate \pi added to the margin of error.

Point estimate:

The confidence interval is symmetric, so it is the mean between the two bounds.

In this problem:

\pi = \frac{0.372 + 0.458}{2} = 0.415

Sample of 400, which means that n = 400

Margin of error is the estimate subtracted by the lower bound. So M = 0.415 - 0.372 = 0.043

We have to find z.

M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

0.043 = z\sqrt{\frac{0.415*0.585}{400}}

z = \frac{0.043\sqrt{400}}{\sqrt{0.415*0.585}}

z = 1.745

z = 1.745 has a pvalue of 0.96.

This means that:

1 - \frac{\alpha}{2} = 0.96

\frac{\alpha}{2} = 1 - 0.96

\frac{\alpha}{2} = 0.04

\alpha = 0.08

Confidence level:

1 - \alpha = 1 - 0.08 = 0.92

So the correct answer is:

a. .92

Solving inequalities, what is x/18>27
Lunna [17]

Answer:   x > 486

Explanation:

We have some number x and we divide that by 18. The result is larger than 27. To find possible values for x, we need to undo what is happening to x. The opposite of division is multiplication. We multiply both sides by 18 to cancel out the "18" on the left side, which will isolate x to get it to its own side.

This is what the steps look like

x/18 > 27

18*( x/18 ) > 18*27 .... multiplying both sides by 18

x > 486 ... note the 18's cancel on the left side

So this means x is some number greater than 486.

What is 1/2 to 1/4 equals
sergey [27]

Do you mean 1/2 of 1/4 if so it’s just timsing the numerator by the numerator and the denominator by the denominator. So, 1 x 1 = 1 and 2 x 4 = 8

Therefore it’s 1/8!

If you didn’t understand I’ll gladly elaborate!

A room has a rectangular floor that is 15 feet by 21 feet. What is the area of the floor in square yards ? ​
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

Hey There!

Let's solve...

Here it is a rectangular floor with length =21 cm and width =15cm

So

area = l \times w \\  = 21 \times 15 \\  = 315 {ft}^{2} \\  \\

So now We need to convert it to yards square

315ft^{2} \times  \frac{ {1yd}^{2} }{ {9ft}^{2} } \\  \\  =  \cancel{315ft^{2}}  \: ^{35}  \times  \frac{ {1yd}^{2} }{ \cancel{9 {ft}^{2} }}  \\  \\  = 35 {yd}^{2}

So how this 9 ft^2 came??

Let's know

ft \to \: yards \\  \\ 3ft = 1yd \\  \\  {3ft}^{2} =  {1yd}^{2}  \\  \\  \boxed{ {9ft}^{2} =  {1yd}^{2}}
