The article "Students Increasingly Turn to Credit Cards" (San Luis Obispo Tribune, July 21, 2006) reported that 37% of college f

reshmen and 48% of college seniors carry a credit card balance from month to month. Suppose that the reported percentages were based on random samples of 1000 college freshmen and 1000 college seniors. a. Construct a 90% confidence interval for the proportion of college freshmen who carry a credit card balance from month to month. b. Construct a 90% confidence interval for the proportion of college seniors who carry a credit card balance from month to month.c. Explain why the two 90% confidence intervals from Parts (a) and (b) are not the same width.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

There are two variables of interest:

X₁: number of college freshmen that carry a credit card balance.

n₁= 1000

p'₁= 0.37

X₂: number of college seniors that carry a credit card balance.

n₂= 1000

p'₂= 0.48

a. You need to construct a 90% CI for the proportion of freshmen  who carry a credit card balance.

The formula for the interval is:

p'₁±Z_{1-\alpha /2}*\sqrt{\frac{p'_1(1-p'_1)}{n_1} }

Z_{1-\alpha /2}= Z_{0.95}= 1.648

0.37±1.648*\sqrt{\frac{0.37*0.63}{1000} }

0.37±1.648*0.015

[0.35;0.39]

With a confidence level of 90%, you'd expect that the interval [0.35;0.39] contains the proportion of college freshmen students that carry a credit card balance.

b. In this item, you have to estimate the proportion of senior students that carry a credit card balance. Since we work with the standard normal approximation and the same confidence level, the Z value is the same: 1.648

The formula for this interval is

p'₂±Z_{1-\alpha /2}*\sqrt{\frac{p'_2(1-p'_2)}{n_2} }

0.48±1.648* \sqrt{\frac{0.48*0.52}{1000} }

0.48±1.648*0.016

[0.45;0.51]

With a confidence level of 90%, you'd expect that the interval [0.45;0.51] contains the proportion of college seniors that carry a credit card balance.

c. The difference between the width two 90% confidence intervals is given by the standard deviation of each sample.

Freshmen: \sqrt{\frac{p'_1(1-p'_1)}{n_1} } = \sqrt{\frac{0.37*0.63}{1000} } = 0.01527 = 0.015

Seniors: \sqrt{\frac{p'_2(1-p'_2)}{n_2} } = \sqrt{\frac{0.48*0.52}{1000} }= 0.01579 = 0.016

The interval corresponding to the senior students has a greater standard deviation than the interval corresponding to the freshmen students, that is why the amplitude of its interval is greater.

“on the following checking account record, enter the figures and add or subtract them to keep the running total correct”
oksano4ka [1.4K]

The running total is  $95.27.

There are two types of records, Active and Inactive. There are also two major classifications, Vital and Important.

<h3>Why is record keeping important?</h3>
  • In order to create reliable financial statements, you need good records. These consist of balance sheets and income (profit and loss) statements. These statements might assist you in managing your business and dealing with your bank or creditors.

He opened the account with $299.88. He subsequently wrote many cheques, from which you deduct the sum of 299,88.

He deposited a check, thus 299.88-90.48= 209.40, 209.40 - 65.00= 144.40, and then he added $381.33 to 144.40 to get 525.73.

then you need to deduct more since he wrote more checks.

Consequently, 525.73-54.47=471.26, and 471.26-375.99=95.27, giving him a balance of $95.27.

  • Good Records entail documents comprising recorded data that show the efficacy of the quality management system, independent of the format or feature.

Consider the following sets:
bagirrra123 [75]
U = {points on the coordinate plane}
A = {solutions to the equation y = 2x + 5}
B = {points on the line y = mx}

Value of the slope m so that  {2x + 5} ∩ {mx} =Ф
This means that {2x + 5} never intersects with {mx}
To that end m=2 (same slope), if so the 2 linear functions:

y = 2x+5 and y = 2x are PARALLEL

TWVU is a trapezoid with midsgment FG find the value of x please help
photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

Find each measure.

1. 

SOLUTION:  

The trapezoid ABCD is an isosceles trapezoid. So,

each pair of base angles is congruent. Therefore,

ANSWER:  

101

2. WT, if ZX = 20 and TY = 15

SOLUTION:  

The trapezoid WXYZ is an isosceles trapezoid. So, the

diagonals are congruent. Therefore, WY = ZX.

WT + TY = ZX

WT + 15 = 20

WT = 5

ANSWER:  

5

COORDINATE GEOMETRY Quadrilateral

ABCD has vertices A(–4, –1), B(–2, 3), C(3, 3),

and D(5, –1).

3. Verify that ABCD is a trapezoid.

SOLUTION:  

First graph the points on a coordinate grid and draw

the trapezoid.

Use the slope formula to find the slope of the sides of

the trapezoid.

The slopes of exactly one pair of opposite sides are

equal. So, they are parallel. Therefore, the

quadrilateral ABCD is a trapezoid.

ANSWER:  

ABCD is a trapezoid.

4. Determine whether ABCD is an isosceles trapezoid.

Explain.

SOLUTION:  

Refer to the graph of the trapezoid.

Use the slope formula to find the slope of the sides of

the quadrilateral.

The slopes of exactly one pair of opposite sides are

equal. So, they are parallel. Therefore, the

quadrilateral ABCD is a trapezoid.

Use the Distance Formula to find the lengths of the

legs of the trapezoid.

The lengths of the legs are equal. Therefore, ABCD

is an isosceles trapezoid.

ANSWER:  

isosceles;

5. GRIDDED REPSONSE In the figure, is the

midsegment of trapezoid TWRV. Determine the value

of x.

SOLUTION:  

By the Trapezoid Midsegment Theorem, the

midsegment of a trapezoid is parallel to each base

and its measure is one half the sum of the lengths of

the bases.

 are the bases and   is the 

midsegment. So,

Solve for x.

16 = 14.8 + x

1.2 = x
