3 (a) A random sample of 200 voters in a town is selected, and 114 are found to support an annexation suit. Find the 96% confide

nce interval for the fraction of the voting population favoring the suit. (b) What can we assert with 96% confidence about the possible size of our error if we estimate the fraction of voters favoring the annexation suit to be 0.57

Answer:

a. 0.498 < p < 0.642

b. We are 96% sure that the error of estimator ^p = 0.57 will not exceed 0.07001

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

Sample, n = 200 voters

Let x represent those that support annexation suit.

x = 114

First, we'll calculate the probability of supporting annexation suit.

Let p represent the probability of supporting annexation suit.

p = x/n

p = 114/200

p = 0.57

From elementary probability;

p + q = 1 where q represent probability of failure.

In this case, q represent probability of not supporting annexation suit

Substitute 0.57 for p

0.57 + q = 1

q = 1 - 0.57

q = 0.43

To find the 96% confidence interval for the fraction of the voting population favoring the suit;

The confidence interval is bounded by the following;

^p - z(α/2) √(pq/n) < p < ^p + z(α/2) √(pq/n)

At this point, we have values for p,q and n.

Next is to solve z(α/2)

First, we'll find the value of α/2 using

C.I = 100%(1 - α) where C.I = 96%

96% = 100%(1 - α)

1 - α = 96%

1 - α = 0.96

α = 1 - 0.96

α = 0.04

So,

α/2 = 0.04/2

α/2 = 0.02

So, z(α/2) = z(0.02)

Using normal probability table

z0.02 = 2.055 --- This is the closest value which leaves an area of 0.02 to the right and 0.98 to the left

Recalling our formula to solve 96% interval;

^p - z(α/2) √(pq/n) < p < ^p + z(α/2) √(pq/n)

By substituton, we have

0.57 - 2.055 * √(0.57*0.43/200) < p < 0.57 + 2.055 * √(0.57*0.43/200)

0.57 - 0.071939677073920 < p < 0.57 + 0.071939677073920

0.498060322926079 < p < 0.641939677073920 ---- Approximate

0.498 < p < 0.642

b. Here, we'll make use of the following theorem;

Using ^p as an estimate

We are 100%(1 - α) confident that the error will not exceed z(α/2) √(pq/n)

From (a), we have.

z(α/2) = 2.055, p = 0.57, q = 0.43, n = 200

By substituton, z(α/2) √(pq/n) becomes

2.055 * √(0.57 * 0.43/200)

= 2.055 * 0.071939677073920

= 0.070014284256857 ---- Approximate

= 0.07001

We are 96% sure that the error of estimator ^p = 0.57 will not exceed 0.07001

seraphim [82]

Answer:

Option A.) is correct  \triangle XYZ \sim \triangle WVZ  by AA similarity. There are two angles that are congruent given by \angle ZXY = \angle ZWV \hspace{0.2cm}  and\hspace{0.2cm}   \angle ZYX = \angle ZVW.

This is because both pairs represent alternate interior angles formed by lines intersecting two parallel lines.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given figure we can say that

Which graph shows the solution to the system of linear inequalities?
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

this is answer

Step-by-step explanation:

To graph a linear inequality in two variables (say, x and y ), first get y alone on one side. Then consider the related equation obtained by changing the inequality sign to an equality sign. The graph of this equation is a line. If the inequality is strict ( < or > ), graph a dashed line.
