Fewer young people are driving. In year A, 67.9% of people under 20 years old who were eligible had a driver's license. Twenty y

ears later in year B that percentage had dropped to 47.7%. Suppose these results are based on a random sample of 1,800 people under 20 years old who were eligible to have a driver's license in year A and again in year B.a. At 95% confidence, what is the margin of error and the interval estimate of the number of nineteen year old drivers in year A?b. At 95% confidence, what tis the margin of error and the interval estimate of the number of nineteen year old drivers in year B?c. Is the margin of error the same in parts (a) and (b)?

Answer:

                                 Case a                               Case b

margin of error       0.0216                                   0.0231

Interval estimate   (0.7016 , 0.6795)                (0.5031 , 0.4569)

margin of error is not same in both cases.

Step-by-step explanation:

a

At 95% confidence interval the interval estimate of number of 20 year old drivers in year A can be computed as

  p'  ±  z  \sqrt{\frac{p'(1-p')}{n} }

= 0.68 ± 1.96 \sqrt{\frac{0.68(1-0.68)}{1800} }

= 0.7016 , 0.6795

the margin of error can be written as

z  \sqrt{\frac{p'(1-p')}{n} }

= 1.96 \sqrt{\frac{0.68(1-0.68)}{1800} }

= 0.0216

b

At 95% confidence interval the interval estimate of number of 20 year old drivers in year B can be computed as

p'  ±  z  \sqrt{\frac{p'(1-p')}{n} }

= 0.48 ± 1.96 \sqrt{\frac{0.48(1-0.48)}{1800} }

=  0.5031 , 0.4569

the margin of error can be written as

z  \sqrt{\frac{p'(1-p')}{n} }

=  1.96 \sqrt{\frac{0.48(1-0.48)}{1800} }

= 0.0231

c

Sample size is same in case A and B but proportion is different in both cases so margin of error is different in both cases

George is twice as old as Edward, and Edward's age exceeds Robert's age by 4 years. If the sum of the three ages is at least 56
marshall27 [118]

Answer:Robert's minimum age is 11 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent George's age.

Let y represent Edward's age.

Let z represent Robert's age.

George is twice as old as Edward. It means that

x = 2y

Edward's age exceeds Robert's age by 4 years. It means that

z = y - 4

If the sum of the three ages is at least 56 years, it means that

x + y + z ≥ 56 - - - - - - - - - - 1

Substituting x = 2y and z = y - 4 into equation 1, it becomes

2y + y + y - 4 ≥ 56

4y - 4 ≥ 56

4y ≥ 56 + 4

y ≥ 60/4

y ≥ 15

z = y - 4 = 15 - 4

z ≥ 11

What is an example of a rate of change
nekit [7.7K]
When you have lines in graphs for ex

Y=2x+7
2x is the rate of change

7 is the instant amt if the x=0 (or the y-intercept)

Can you have a fraction in this?
nevsk [136]

Yes, there is a fraction because when solving the equation you need to find Q. So to find Q you will need to divide

If 20% of all manually filed returns contain errors, and 0.05% of all electronically filed returns contain errors, how much more
Marizza181 [45]
To get the correct answer to this question, you just need to divide 20% by 0.05% in order to get the answer, how many times a manual filer is more likely to make an error than an electronic file. 
20: 0.05 = 400
The answer is C. 400 times more likely.
