According to data released by FiveThirty Eight (data drawn on Monday, August 17th, 2020), Donald Trump wins an Electoral College

sineoko [7]

Answer:

a) P = 0.274925

b) required confidence interval = (0.2705589, 0.2793344)

c) FALSE

d) FALSE

e) TRUE

f) There is still probability that he would win. And it would be highly unusual if he wins assuming that the true population proportion is 0.274925.

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

PROBABILITY

since total number of simulations is 40,000 and and number of times Donald Trump wins an Electoral College majority in the 2020 US Presidential Election is 10,997

so the required Probability will be 10,997 divided by 40,000

P = 10997 / 40000 = 0.274925

b)

To get 95% confidence interval for the parameter in question a

(using R)

>prop.test(10997,40000)

OUTPUT

1 - Sample proportion test with continuity correction

data: 10997 out of 40000, null probability 0.5

x-squared = 8104.5, df = 1, p-value < 2.23-16

alternative hypothesis : true p ≠ 0.5

0.2705589 0.2793344

sample estimate

p

0.274925

∴ required confidence interval = (0.2705589, 0.2793344)

c)

FALSE

This is a wrong interpretation of a confidence interval. It indicates that there is 95% chance that the confidence interval you calculated contains the true proportion. This is because when you perform several times, 95% of those intervals would contain the true proportion but as the confidence intervals will vary so you can't say that the true proportion is in any interval with 95% probability.

d)

FALSE

Once again, this is a wrong interpretation of a confidence interval. The confidence interval tells us about the population parameter and not the sample statistic.

e)

TRUE

This is a correct interpretation of a confidence interval. It indicates that if we perform sampling with same sample size (40000) several times and calculate the 95% confidence interval of population proportion for each of them, then 95% of these confidence interval should contain the population parameter.

f)

The simulation results obtained doesn't always comply with the true population. Also, result of one simulation can't be taken for granted. We need several simulations to come to a conclusion. So, we can never ever guarantee based on a simulation result to say that Donald Trump 'Won't' or 'Shouldn't' win.

There is still probability that he would win. And it would be highly unusual if he wins assuming that the true population proportion is 0.274925.

The following chart represents the record high temperatures recorded in Phoenix for April - November. Select the answer below th

svetlana [45]

Answer:

C. The mean is 111.9F and the median is 114.5F.

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean is 111.9 given that (105 + 113 + 122 + 121 + 116 + 118 + 107 + 93)/8 = 111.875 which can be rounded to 111.9 F.

Organizing the values we have:

[93, 105, 107, 113, 116, 118, 121, 122]

We find that the median is going to be between 113 and 116. Therefore:

(113 + 116) / 2 = 114,5

Therefore, the correct answer is option C.

What is your sister’s total cost under each of the two plans?2. Suppose your sister doubles her monthly usage to 3,500 minutes a

chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

(1) The total cost under Plan A is $92 and the total cost under Plan B is $515.

(2) The total cost under Plan A is $92 and the total cost under Plan B is $1,030.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete, so the complete question is below:

$A\ cell \ phone \ company\ offers\ two \ different \ plans.$

$Plan\ A\ costs\ \$92\ per\ month\ for\ unlimited\ talk\ and\ text.\ Plan\ B\ costs \ $0.20\ per\ minute\ plus\ \$0.10\ per\ text\ message\ sent.$ $You\ need \ to\ purchase \ a \ plan \ for\ your \ 14-year-old \ sister$ $.Your\ sister\ currently \ uses\ 1,750 \ minutes\ and \ sends\ 1,650 \ texts\ each \ month.$ $(1) What\ is\ your \ sister's\ total\ cost\ under \ each\ of\ the\ two\ plans?$

$(2) Suppose\ your\ sister\ doubles\ her\ monthly\ usage \ to\ 3,500\ minutes \ and\ sends\ 3,300 \ texts.$ $What \ is \ your \ sister's \ total \ cost \ under \ each \ of \ the \ two \ plans?$

Now, to find (1) total cost for each of the two plans. (2) Total cost under each of the two plans, if sister doubles her monthly usage to 3,500 minutes and sends 3,300 texts.

As, the Plan A is for unlimited talk and text

Cost of the Plan A = $92.

Now, to find the cost under Plan B:

According to question:

Rate of call per minute is $0.20 and per text is $0.10.

Calls she uses currently is 1,750 minutes and text 1,650.

So, to get the cost of Plan B:

$0.20\times 1750+0.10\times 1650$
