She will have 6 and 1/4 inches of wood left. 23 3/4 - 30 is 6 1/4.

Answer:

$0.7 - 2.58 \sqrt{\frac{0.7(1-0.7)}{500}}=0.647$

$0.7 + 2.58 \sqrt{\frac{0.7(1-0.7)}{500}}=0.753$

And the 99% confidence interval would be given (0.647;0.753).

So the correct answer would be:

a. 0.647 and 0.753

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

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

The estimated population proportion for this case is:

$\hat p = \frac{350}{500}=0.7$

The confidence interval would be given by this formula

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

For the 99% confidence interval the value of $\alpha=1-0.99=0.01$ and $\alpha/2=0.005$ , with that value we can find the quantile required for the interval in the normal standard distribution.

$z_{\alpha/2}=2.58$

And replacing into the confidence interval formula we got:

$0.7 - 2.58 \sqrt{\frac{0.7(1-0.7)}{500}}=0.647$

$0.7 + 2.58 \sqrt{\frac{0.7(1-0.7)}{500}}=0.753$

And the 99% confidence interval would be given (0.647;0.753).

So the correct answer would be:

a. 0.647 and 0.753

sp2606 [1]

Answer:

slope: -3

equation: y = -3x

Step-by-step explanation:

the slope is "the amount of change in the y direction when you take one step to the right".

In the first graph you can see that (0,0) and (1,-3) are on the graph. So when you step from x=0 to x=1, the graph moves 3 units down. Hence the slope is -3. The minus sign means down.

Sometimes it is difficult to see the change in the y direction when only taking 1 step to the right. That's no problem, if you take e.g., 4 steps to the right, you have to divide the y change that you found by 4.

Written in a formula it is dy/dx, a.k.a: the y change divided by the x change.

So that takes care of the slope.

In a general formula for a line y = ax + b, the slope is the letter a.

b is used to move the graph up and down. The first graph moves through (0,0) so no b needed, hence the equation y = -3x.

If b would be, say, 5, the graph would be lifted up by 5. In fact, the point (0,b) will be the point where the graph crosses the y-axis. So you find b by finding the intersection with the y axis. x must be 0 at this point.

With this approach you can solve all assignments easily.
