What is 2/4 I need help with this question pls

Given: The snow started melting at a rate of 0.75 inches per hour and it is known that 4 hours after the storm ended, after the storm ended, the depth of snow was down to 9 inches.

Snow melted in 4 hours = $0.75\times4 =3\text{ inches}$

Initial depth of snow = 9 + 3 inches = 12 inches.

Now, depth of snow on Tristan's lawn = Initial depth -0.75(Number of hours)

Let S(t) be the depth of snow on Tristan's lawn, in inches, t hours after the snow stopped falling.

Then, $S(t)=12-0.75t$

1. A poll conducted in 2018 found that 54% of US adult Twitter users get at least some news on Twitter. The standard error for t

Harrizon [31]

Answer:

The 99% confidence interval for the fraction of US adult Twitter users who get some news on Twitter is (0.4872, 0.6018). It means that we are 99% sure that the true proportion of US adult Twitter users who get some news on Twitter is between 0.4872 and 0.6018.

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.

$\pi \pm zs$

In which

z is the zscore that has a pvalue of $1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}$ , and s is the standard error.

54% of US adult Twitter users get at least some news on Twitter.

This means that $\pi = 0.54$

The standard error for this estimate was 2.4%

This means that $s = 0.024$

99% confidence level

So $\alpha = 0.01$ , z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of $1 - \frac{0.01}{2} = 0.995$ , so $Z = 2.575$

The lower bound is:

$\pi - zs = 0.54 - 2.575*0.024 = 0.4782$

The upper bound is:

$\pi + zs = 0.54 + 2.575*0.024 = 0.6018$

The 99% confidence interval for the fraction of US adult Twitter users who get some news on Twitter is (0.4872, 0.6018). It means that we are 99% sure that the true proportion of US adult Twitter users who get some news on Twitter is between 0.4872 and 0.6018.
