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)

katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

Larger sample size gives less std error and hence test statistic is larger.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a newspaper  is conducting a statewide survey concerning the race for governor. The newspaper will take a simple random sample of n registered voters and determine X = the number of voters that will vote for the Democratic candidate. Is there evidence that a clear majority of the population will vote for the Democratic candidate

Group        I   II

Success    640 64

Total   1200 120

p 0.533333333 0.533333333

q 0.466666667 0.466666667

se 0.014401646 0.045542003

p diff 0.033333333 0.033333333

Z 2.314550249 0.731925055

p      0.01           0.233

we find that though p is the same, std error is very small for larger sample size thus making z statistic much bigger.  So we get p value less than 0.05 whereas for 120 sample size, std error is large so Z statistic is small thus making p value to accept null hypothesis

Find the volume of this sphere.<br> Use 3 for TT.<br> V [?]in3<br> V = Tr3<br> 8 in
frutty [35]

Answer:

The volume of the sphere is 2048 in³.

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a sphere is given by:

V = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^{3}

Where:

r: is the radius = 8 in

Having the radius and by using 3 for π, the volume is:

V = \frac{4}{3}*3 (8 in)^{3} = 2048 in^{3}

Therefore, the volume of the sphere is 2048 in³.

I hope it helps you!

What are possible coordinates of point F if triangle DEF is<br> congruent to triangle ABC?
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

(-1, 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Point B is 5 units below point A, and point E is 5 units above point D: AB = ED. This means that BC will be equal to EF. B and C are 7 units apart, so 7 units left from E is (-1, 4).

Hope this helps!
