A newsgroup is interested in constructing a 90% confidence interval for the proportion of all Americans who are in favor of a ne

w Green initiative. Of the 559 randomly selected Americans surveyed, 370 were in favor of the initiative. Round answers to 4 decimal places where possible.
a. With 90% confidence the proportion of all Americans who favor the new Green initiative is between and .b. If many groups of 506 randomly selected Americans were surveyed, then a different confidence interval would be produced from each group. About percent of these confidence intervals will contain the true population proportion of Americans who favor the Green initiative and about percent will not contain the true population proportion.

Answer:

a. With 90% confidence the proportion of all Americans who favor the new Green initiative is between 0.6290 and 0.6948.

b. If the sample size is changed, the confidence interval changes as the standard error depends on sample size.

About 90% percent of these confidence intervals will contain the true population proportion of Americans who favor the Green initiative and about 10% percent will not contain the true population proportion.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to calculate a 90% confidence interval for the proportion.

The sample proportion is p=0.6619.

p=X/n=370/559=0.6619

The standard error of the proportion is:

\sigma_p=\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{0.6619*0.3381}{559}}\\\\\\ \sigma_p=\sqrt{0.0004}=0.02

The critical z-value for a 90% confidence interval is z=1.6449.

The margin of error (MOE) can be calculated as:

MOE=z\cdot \sigma_p=1.6449 \cdot 0.02=0.0329

Then, the lower and upper bounds of the confidence interval are:

LL=p-z \cdot \sigma_p = 0.6619-0.0329=0.6290\\\\UL=p+z \cdot \sigma_p = 0.6619+0.0329=0.6948

The 90% confidence interval for the population proportion is (0.6290, 0.6948).

find the area of the shape below
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

235 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Find area of the large rectangle on the bottom. To do that, find its length and width, then multiply them together.

Length of big rectangle=20 cm

Width of big rectangle=9 cm

20x9=180 cm²

Next, find the area of the small rectangle on the top. To do that, find its length and width, then multiply them together.

Length of small rectangle=11 cm

Width of small rectangle=5 cm

I found the width by subtracting 9 from 14, since the 9 cm is part of the large rectangle.

11x5=55 cm²

Add the areas of the two rectangles.

55+180=235 cm²
