Answer:

99% confidence level for the true population proportion of premium grade fuel-quality failures is between a lower limit of 0.048 and an upper limit of 0.218.

Step-by-step explanation:

confidence interval for a proportion is given as p +/- margin of error (E)

p is sample proportion = 14/105 = 0.133

n is number of samples = 105

confidence level (C) = 99% = 0.99

significance level = 1 - C = 1 - 0.99 = 0.01 = 1%

At 1% significance level, critical value (z) is 2.576

Margin of error (E) = zsqrt [p(1-p) ÷ n] = 2.576sqrt[0.133(1-0.133) ÷ 105] = 2.576 × 0.0331391 = 0.085

Lower limit of proportion = p - E = 0.133 - 0.085 = 0.048

Upper limit of proportion = p + E = 0.133 + 0.085 = 0.218

99% confidence level is (0.048, 0.218)

Answer:

\hat p = \frac{14}{105}= 0.133

And that represent the proportion of failures.

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:  

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

If we replace the values obtained we got:

0.133 - 2.58\sqrt{\frac{0.133(1-0.133)}{105}}=0.0475

0.133 + 2.58\sqrt{\frac{0.133(1-0.133)}{105}}=0.2185

The 99% confidence interval would be given by (0.0475;0.2185)

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concept

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

In order to find the critical value we need to take in count that we are finding the interval for a proportion, so on this case we need to use the z distribution. Since our interval is at 99% of confidence, our significance level would be given by \alpha=1-0.99=0.01 and \alpha/2 =0.005. And the critical value would be given by:

z_{\alpha/2}=-2.58, z_{1-\alpha/2}=2.58

The proportion estimated would be:

\hat p = \frac{14}{105}= 0.133

And that represent the proportion of failures.

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:  

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

If we replace the values obtained we got:

0.133 - 2.58\sqrt{\frac{0.133(1-0.133)}{105}}=0.0475

0.133 + 2.58\sqrt{\frac{0.133(1-0.133)}{105}}=0.2185

The 99% confidence interval would be given by (0.0475;0.2185)

OMG PLEASE HELP ME ASAP!!!!!!! A local charity sponsors a 5K race to raise money. It receives $55 per race entry and $10,000 in
Dominik [7]
Start with how much profit they are making off each race entry. People pay $55 to race, but $15 of that is expenses so they are only profiting $40 for each entry. Now write one side of the equality. They start with $10,000 in donations, and then have a $40 profit for each race entry. So 10,000+40x. X will represent the unknown number of race entries. What do we want that expression to be equal to? We want 10000+40x>55000. It can also be greater than or equal to, not just greater than. Solve for x. Subtract 10000 from each side resulting in 40x>45000. Divide each side by 40 to solve for x. X>1125. X needs to bbe greater than or equal to 1125. If there are 1125 race entries, the charity will profit exactly $55000, so the lowest number of race entries is 1125

y=-x

slope for perp line = 1

2y=-x+6

y=-1/2x +3

slope for perp line = 2

15.

i don’t wanna do all sorry it’s a lot of work so i’ll tell u how to do it instead. first write it in slope intercept form which is

y-y1=m(x-x1)

it’s parallel which means it shares the same slope. if it’s perpendicular it would be opposite reciprocals so for -3/2 the perp slope would be 2/3.

the line is

y+1=3/4(x-4)

we distribute the 3/4 so it’s now

y+1=3/4x-3

then we subtract the 1

y=3/4x-4 is the equation boom done

1. Find the value of x.<br><br> A. 90<br> B. 80<br> C. 60<br> D. 45
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

A 90

Step-by-step explanation:

multiple ways to prove this.

e.g. since the angle between the two lines from the center of the circle to the 2 tangent touching points is 90 degrees (that is the meaning of these 90 degrees here as the angle of the circle segment defined by the 2 tangent touching points and the circle center), the tangents have the same "behavior" as tan and cot = the tangents at the norm circle at 0 and 90 degrees. they hit each other outside of the circle again at 90 degrees.

another way

imagine the two right triangles of the tangents crossing point to the circle center and the tangent/circle touching points.

the Hypotenuse of each triangle is cutting the 90 degree angle of the circle segment exactly in half (due to the symmetry principle). so the angle between radius side and Hypotenuse is 90/2 = 45 degrees.

that means also the angle of such a right triangle at the tangent crossing point is 45 degrees (as the sum of all angles in a triangle must be 180, we have the remainder of 180 - 90 - 45 = 45 degrees).

the angles of both right triangles at that point are the same, and so we can add 45+45 = 90 degrees for the total angle at the tangent crossing point.
