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

17) please help with this question!!!<br> BraiNLIEST AND 20 POINTS :)
valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

8 gallons of regular gas with 10% and 2 gallons with 85%

8 x 10 =80%

2 x 85 =170%

170+80=250%

10 gallons each with 100%, so 10 x 100 =1000%

250% of 1000% = 1/4 or 25% ethanol

Hope this helps!
