In 1995, 13,000 Internet users were surveyed and asked about their willingness to pay fees for access to websites. Of these, 2,9

38 were definitely not willing to pay such fees. Construct a 95 percent confidence interval for the proportion definitely unwilling to pay fees.

Answer:

0.226 - 1.96 \sqrt{\frac{0.226(1-0.226)}{13000}}=0.219

0.226 + 1.96 \sqrt{\frac{0.226(1-0.226)}{13000}}=0.233

And the 95% confidence interval would be given (0.219;0.233).

So then we can conclude a 99% of confidence that the true proportion of people were definitely not willing to pay is between 0.219 and 0.233

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

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{p(1-p)}{n}})

Solution to the problem

The estimated proportion for this case is :

\hat p = \frac{2938}{13000} = 0.226

The confidence interval would be given by this formula

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

For the 95% confidence interval the value of \alpha=1-0.95=0.05 and \alpha/2=0.025, with that value we can find the quantile required for the interval in the normal standard distribution.

z_{\alpha/2}=1.96

And replacing into the confidence interval formula we got:

0.226 - 1.96 \sqrt{\frac{0.226(1-0.226)}{13000}}=0.219

0.226 + 1.96 \sqrt{\frac{0.226(1-0.226)}{13000}}=0.233

And the 95% confidence interval would be given (0.219;0.233).

So then we can conclude a 99% of confidence that the true proportion of people were definitely not willing to pay is between 0.219 and 0.233

A school bus has 25 seats, with 5 rows of 5 seats. 15 students from the first grade and 5 students from the second grade travel
kow [346]

Answer:

5P5×20P15

Step-by-step explanation:

A school bus has 25 seats, with 5 rows of 5 seats.

15 students from the first grade and 5 students from the second grade travel in the bus.

second-grade students occupy the first row.

The 5 students of second grade are to be seated in 5 seats,this can be done in:

5P5 ways where P is the permutation

Now 15 students from first grade are to be arranged in remaining 20 seats

This can be done in:

20P15 ways

Hence, total ways student can be seated is:

5P5×20P15

60 points !! i'll mark brainliest as well . don't scam or i'll report thanksss :)
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

2, 6, 28, 358.01

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find the fractions of whole numbers.

Number 1:

\frac{1}{5} of 10 = \frac{1}{5} \times (2 \times 5) = 2 (Answer)

Number 2:

\frac{2}{3} of 9 = \frac{2}{3} \times (3 \times 3) = 2 \times 3 = 6 (Answer)

Number 3:

\frac{7}{8} of 32 = \frac{7}{8} \times (4 \times 8) = 7 \times 4 = 28 (Answer)

Number 4:

3 \times 10^{2} + 5 \times 10^{1} + 8 \times 10^{0} + 1 \times \frac{1}{10^{2} }

= 3 \times 100 + 5 \times 10 + 8 \times 1 + \frac{1}{100} {Since a^{0} = 1}

= 300 + 50 + 8 + 0.01

= 358.01 (Answer)

Tax rates are 10% on the first 10,000 you earn and 20% on amounts over that. You earn 15,000. What is your tax?
OleMash [197]
This problem can be divided into two parts Part 1 - income up to $10,000 times 10% = $1,000 Part 2 - income over $10,000 = $15,000 - 10,000 = $5,000then, $5,000 times 20% = $1,000 Finally, $1,000 + 1,000 = $2,000

Examine the pattern of numbers in the table , and find a formala for y in terms of x.
lana66690 [7]

Plotting the points could help you notice that they lie along a parabola. In particular, you can see that y is always 4 more than x^2.

So, the relation is

y=x^2+4
