A poll asked the question, "What do you think is the most important problem facing this country today?" Twenty percent of the re

spondents answered "crime and violence." The margin of sampling error was plus or minus 4 percentage points. Following the convention that the margin of error is based on a 95% confidence interval, find a 95% confidence interval for the percentage of the population that would respond "crime and violence" to the question asked by the pollsters.

Answer:  (16%, 24%)

Step-by-step explanation:

The confidence interval for proportion is given by :-

p\pm E

Given : Significance level : \alpha=1-0.95=0.05

The proportion of the respondents answered "crime and violence." : p=0.20

Margin of sampling error : E=\pm0.04

Now, the 95% confidence interval for the proportion of the population that would respond "crime and violence" to the question asked by the pollsters is given by :-

0.20\pm 0.04\\\\=0.20-0.04,\ 0.20+0.04\approx(0.16,0.24)

In percentage, (16\%,24\%)

Hence, the 95% confidence interval for the percentage of the population that would respond "crime and violence" to the question asked by the pollsters =(16%, 24%)

A total of $12,000 is invested at an annual interest rate of 9%. Find the balance
sineoko [7]

Answer:

$18,726.11

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets use the compound interest formula provided to solve this:

A=P(1+\frac{r}{n} )^{nt}

<em>P = initial balance</em>

<em>r = interest rate (decimal)</em>

<em>n = number of times compounded annually</em>

<em>t = time</em>

<em />

First lets change 9% into a decimal:

9% -> \frac{9}{100} -> 0.09

Since the interest is compounded quarterly, we will use 4 for n. Lets plug in the values now:

A=12,000(1+\frac{0.09}{4})^{4(5)}

A=18,726.11

<u>The balance after 5 years is $18,726.11</u>

The volume of a cylinder is

V=hpr^2 in this case h=40, r=20/2=10, and we will approximate pi as 3.14 so:

V=40(3.14)(10^2)

V=12560 ft^3
