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).

If a rectangle has a length of 5in, a width of 4in, and a height of 8in.Evaluate the volume using the formula: V=LWH 20 inches c
ozzi

Substitute the numbers in the equation:

V=LWH

Since L=5in, W=4in and H=8in:

\begin{gathered} V=(5in)(4in)(8in) \\ =160in^3 \end{gathered}

Therefore, the volume is equal to 160 inches cubed.

Answer:

\boxed{0.2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert \dfrac{12}{60} to a decimal

Step 1. Reduce the fraction to its lowest terms.

Divide both numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor (12)

\dfrac{12}{60} =\dfrac{1}{5}

Step 2. Convert the denominator to a power of 10

Multiply both numerator and denominator by 2.

\dfrac{1}{5} \times \dfrac{2}{2} = \dfrac{2}{10}

Step 3. Divide the numerator by the denominator

Dividing by 10 moves the decimal point one place to the left.

\dfrac{2}{10} = \boxed{0.2}
