Answer:

a) \hat p=\frac{1627}{5120}=0.3178

b)The 99% confidence interval would be given by (0.301;0.355)

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Notation and definitions

X=1627 number of permanent dwellings on the entire reservation that are traditional hogans.

n=5120 random sample taken

\hat p=\frac{1627}{5120}=0.318 estimated proportion of permanent dwellings on the entire reservation that are traditional hogans.

p true population proportion of permanent dwellings on the entire reservation that are traditional hogans.

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".  

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.  

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".  

The population proportion have the following distribution

p \sim N(p,\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}})

Part a

The point of estimate for p=the proportion of all permanent dwellings on the entire reservation that are traditional hogans is given by:

\hat p=\frac{1627}{5120}=0.3178

Part b

In order to find the critical value we need to take in count that we are finding the interval for a proportion, so on this case we need to use the z distribution. Since our interval is at 99% of confidence, our significance level would be given by \alpha=1-0.99=0.01 and \alpha/2 =0.005. And the critical value would be given by:

z_{\alpha/2}=-2.58, z_{1-\alpha/2}=2.58

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:  

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

If we replace the values obtained we got:

0.318 - 2.58\sqrt{\frac{0.318(1-0.318)}{5120}}=0.301

0.318 + 2.58\sqrt{\frac{0.318(1-0.318)}{5120}}=0.335

The 99% confidence interval would be given by (0.301;0.355)

Can i have some help
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

b. m = 2, b = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx + b

m = slope and b = y-intercept

The slope is 2 cause it's going up 2 squares while only going to the right one square each time, so u could right 2/1 but it's not necessary so just 2. And the intercept is 4 because that's where the line intercepts the y-axis.

luna ray has 1 orange pick for every 2 green picks.How manu green picks does luna have if she has 12 total picks
Bess [88]
This is how you do it!

So, There is a ratio of 1:2 for the orange to green.
This means that e can write an equation like this:

Let x be the orange picks

x + 2x = 12
3x = 12
x = 4

This means that there are 4 orange picks, and also 8 green picks

Now we can check that by simplifying the ratio --> 4:8 = 1:2

Therefore, your answer would be 8 green picks

Hope this helped!

With similar triangles, the ratios of all three pairs of corresponding sides are equal
Elza [17]
<h3>Yes, this is true.</h3>

To be considered similar triangles, the angles must be the exact same, and the sides must be proportional. The side lengths do not have to be exactly the same, but they must be proportional (like a ratio, suppose one triangle has a side length of 1, and the similar triangle has a side length of 3. The ratio is 1:3, and all sides will follow this ratio.)

Write the following equation in general form Ax+By+C=0. 1/2y-1/3x-1=0
Oksanka [162]

Answer:

1/2 y - 1/3 x -1 = 0

Multiply through by the LCD -6 to clear the fractions and the negative coefficient with the 'x'.

-3y + 2x + 6 = 0

Then reorder

2x - 3y + 6 = 0
