Several years​ ago, 38​% of parents who had children in grades​ K-12 were satisfied with the quality of education the students r

eceive. A recent poll asked 1 comma 165 parents who have children in grades​ K-12 if they were satisfied with the quality of education the students receive. Of the 1 comma 165 ​surveyed, 499 indicated that they were satisfied. Construct a 95​% confidence interval to assess whether this represents evidence that​ parents' attitudes toward the quality of education have changed.

Answer:

0.428 - 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.428(1-0.428)}{1165}}=0.3995

0.428 + 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.428(1-0.428)}{1165}}=0.4564

We are confident that the true proportion of people satisfied with the quality of education the students receive is between (0.3995, 0.4564), since the lower value for this confidence level is higher than 0.38 we have enough evidence to conclude that the parents' attitudes toward the quality of education have changed.

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we are interesting in the parameter of the true proportion of people satisfied with the quality of education the students receive

The confidence level is given 95%, the significance level would be given by \alpha=1-0.95=0.05 and \alpha/2 =0.025. And the critical values are:

z_{\alpha/2}=-1.96, z_{1-\alpha/2}=1.96

The estimated proportion of people satisfied with the quality of education the students receive is given by:

\hat p =\frac{499}{1165}= 0.428

The confidence interval for the proportion if interest is given by the following formula:  

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

And replacing the info given we got:

0.428 - 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.428(1-0.428)}{1165}}=0.3995

0.428 + 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.428(1-0.428)}{1165}}=0.4564

We are confident that the true proportion of people satisfied with the quality of education the students receive is between (0.3995, 0.4564), since the lower value for this confidence level is higher than 0.38 we have enough evidence to conclude that the parents' attitudes toward the quality of education have changed.

Linda and Imani are each traveling in a car to the beach. Linda’s travel is modeled by a table. Imanis travel it modeled by grap
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

Imani traveled faster because her distance surpassed Linda's distance after the fourth hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Understand the slope:

      Ok, so the slope basically tells us how fast Imani and Linda traveled, so if we solve for the slope we know how fast Imani and Linda traveled.

2. Find Linda's slope:

      - Take any two points: (0,10) and (1, 65).

      Slope = (<u>y1 - y2)/(x1 - x2)</u>

<u> </u>                 = (65-10)/(1-0)

                   = 55

    Since the slope is 55, we know her speed is 55 miles per hour.

2. Find Imani's slope:

      - Take any two points: (0,0) and (1, 60).

      Slope = (<u>y1 - y2)/(x1 - x2)</u>

<u> </u>                 = (60-0)/(1-0)

                   = 60

    Since the slope is 60, we know her speed is 60 miles per hour.  

3. Compare: Since 60>55, we know Imani traveled faster. If we look at options, we can see there's only one answer which shows that Imani traveled faster, so that must be the answer.

If the scientist is accurate, what is the probability that the proportion of airborne viruses in a sample of 477 viruses would d
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

0.01596

Step-by-step explanation:

A scientist claims that 8% of the viruses are airborne

Given that:

The population proportion p = 8%

The sample size = 477

We can calculate the standard deviation of the population proportion by using the formula:

\sigma_p = \sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}

\sigma_p = \sqrt{\dfrac{0.8(1-0.8)}{477}}

\sigma_p = \sqrt{\dfrac{0.0736}{477}}

\sigma_p = 0.02098

The required probability can be calculated as:

P(| \hat p - p| >  0.03) = P(\hat p - p< -0.03 \ or \  \hat p - p > 0.03)

= P \bigg ( \dfrac{\hat p -p }{\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}} < -\dfrac{0.03}{0.0124}  \bigg ) +  P \bigg ( \dfrac{\hat p -p }{\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}} >\dfrac{0.03}{0.0124} \bigg )

= P(Z < -2.41) + P(Z > 2.41)

= P(Z < -2.41) + P(Z < -2.41)

= 2P( Z< - 2.41)

From the  Z-tables;

P(| \hat p - p| >  0.03) = 2 ( 0.00798

P(| \hat p - p| >  0.03) = 0.01596

Thus, the required probability = 0.01596

a pizza was cut into fifths. each of these fifths is cut into thirds. what fraction of the pizza is each of the final pieces
AnnZ [28]

Answer: 1/15


Pizza cut into fifth, therefore 1 piece = 1/5

1 piece cut into thirds = 1/3 x 1/5 = 1/15

The variables y and x have a proportional relationship, and y = 5 when x = 4.
Tema [17]

Given is -

The variables y and x have a proportional relationship, and y = 5 when x = 4.

\frac{y}{x}=\frac{5}{4}

As we have to find the value of x when y= 8 so putting y = 8 in the above relationship, we get :

\frac{8}{x}=\frac{5}{4}

5x=32

x=6.4

Hence, the answer is 6.4
