You have been given the task of finding out what proportion of students that enroll in a local university actually complete thei

r degree. You have access to first year enrolment records and you decide to randomly sample 115 of those records. You find that 85 of those sampled went on to complete their degree.
a)Calculate the proportion of sampled students that complete their degree. Give your answer as a decimal to 2 decimal places

Calculate lower bound and upper bound at 95% confidence interval. Give answer decimal to 3 places.

Answer:

The proportion of sampled students that complete their degree is 0.74.

The lower bound for the 95% confidence interval is 0.659 and the upper bound is 0.819.

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}.

For this problem, we have that:

n = 115, \pi = \frac{85}{115} = 0.739

Rounded to two decimal places, the proportion of sampled students that complete their degree is 0.74.

95% confidence level

So \alpha = 0.05, z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{0.05}{2} = 0.975, so Z = 1.96.

The lower limit of this interval is:

\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.739 - 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.739*0.261}{115}} = 0.659

The upper limit of this interval is:

\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.739 + 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.739*0.261}{115}} = 0.819

The lower bound for the 95% confidence interval is 0.659 and the upper bound is 0.819.

What is the linear function equation represented by the graph?
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

y=\frac{1}{3}x -4

Step-by-step explanation:

To write a linear function, use y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. The y-intercept is where the line on the graph crosses the y-axis. On the graph is crosses at (0,-4). So b=-4. To find the slope, subtract the difference between two points on the line which cross through a grid line intersection. (0,-4) is one point. (3,-3) is another.

\frac{-3--4}{3-0}=\frac{-3+4}{3} =\frac{1}{3}

Input 1/3 and b=-4 into y=mx+b.

y=\frac{1}{3}x -4

The model suggests the equation 3x-4 = 6-2x and the solution is x = 2.

What is equation?

In arithmetic, associate equation could be a formula that expresses the equality of 2 expressions, by connecting them with the sign =

Main body:

According to question,

there are 3 bars for x and 2 bars for -x  so it shows

The equation becomes :

3x - 4 = 6-2x

5x = 10

x =2

Hence the solution to this equation is 2.
