Answer:

0.1790

0.0738 , 0.5800, 0.7040

354

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Given:  

n = 162

x = 29

c = 95%

The point estimate of the population proportion is the sample proportion. The sample proportion is the number of successes divided by the sample size:  

p =  x/n

  = 29/162

  = 0.1790

b. Given:  

n=162

x = 110

c = 95%

The point estimate of the population proportion is the sample proportion. The sample proportion is the number of successes divided by the sample size:  

p =  x/n

  =110/162

  =0.6790

For confidence level 1 –\alpha = 0.95, determine z_\alpha/2 = z_0.025 using table 1 (look up 0.025 in the table, the z-score is then the found z-score with opposite sign):  

z_\alpha/2 = 1.96  

The margin of error is then:

E =  z_\alpha/2*√p(1-p)/n =1.96* √0.6790(1-0.6790)/162 =0.0738

The boundaries of the confidence interval are then:  

p-z_\alpha/2*√p(1-p)/n = 0.6790-1.645√ 0.6790(1- 0.6790)/162 = 0.5800

p+z_\alpha/2*√p(1-p)/n = 0.6790+1.645√ 0.6790(1- 0.6790)/162 = 0.7040

c. Given:  

n = 162

x = 110

c = 95%

The point estimate of the population proportion is the sample proportion. The sample proportion is the number of successes divided by the sample size:  

p =x/n

  =0.6790

Formula sample size:

p known: n = [z_\alpha/2 ]^2*pq/E^2

                   = [z_\alpha/2 ]^2*p(1-p)/E^2

                n = [z_\alpha/2 ]^2*0.25/E^2

For confidence level 1 –\alpha= 0.95, determine z_\alpha/2 = z_o.025 using table 1 (look up 0.025 in the table, the z-score is then the found z-score with opposite sign):  

z_\alpha/2  = 1.96

p is known, then the sample size is (round up!):

n =[z_\alpha/2 ]^2*p(1-p)/E^2

  = 354

Solve the equation for y.<br> 8x – 9y = 11
pav-90 [236]
8x-9y=11

First you move the 8x because you have to leave the 9y alone

8x-9y=11
-8x        -8x

-9y=11-8x

Now you have to move the -9, so the inverse of multiplying is dividing so you divide -9.

-9y/-9= 11/-9 -8x/-9

since you can't have negative as a denominator it would be:

y= -11/9+8x/9

If m∠ATB = 20°, m∠BTD = 72°, and m∠CTD = 38°, what is m∠ATC?
Ber [7]

Answer: m∠ATC = 54°

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, we know that:

m∠ATB = 20° and  m∠BTD = 72°

then we must have that the angle between A and D, is equal to the sum of the angles between A and B, and B and D, or:

m∠ATD = m∠ATB + m∠BTD = 20° + 72° = 92°

Now, we also know that m∠CTD = 38°

And the angle:

m∠ATC  will be equal to the angle between A and D, minus the angle between C and D, or:

m∠ATC = m∠ATD - m∠CTD = 92° - 38° = 54°
