Answer:

99% confidence interval for the population proportion of passing test scores is [0.5986 , 0.9414].

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a high school principal wishes to estimate how well his students are doing in math.

Using 40 randomly chosen tests, he finds that 77% of them received a passing grade.

Firstly, the pivotal quantity for 99% confidence interval for the population proportion is given by;

                          P.Q. = \frac{\hat p-p}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }  ~ N(0,1)

where, \hat p = sample proportion of students received a passing grade = 77%

           n = sample of tests = 40

           p = population proportion

<em>Here for constructing 99% confidence interval we have used One-sample z proportion test statistics.</em>

So, 99% confidence interval for the population proportion, p is ;

P(-2.5758 < N(0,1) < 2.5758) = 0.99  {As the critical value of z at 0.5%

                                           level of significance are -2.5758 & 2.5758}  

P(-2.5758 < \frac{\hat p-p}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } } < 2.5758) = 0.99

P( -2.5758 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } } < {\hat p-p} < 2.5758 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } } ) = 0.99

P( \hat p-2.5758 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } } < p < \hat p+2.5758 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } } ) = 0.99

<u>99% confidence interval for p</u> = [\hat p-2.5758 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } } , \hat p+2.5758 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }]

 = [ 0.77-2.5758 \times {\sqrt{\frac{0.77(1-0.77)}{40} } } , 0.77+2.5758 \times {\sqrt{\frac{0.77(1-0.77)}{40} } } ]

 = [0.5986 , 0.9414]

Therefore, 99% confidence interval for the population proportion of passing test scores is [0.5986 , 0.9414].

Lower bound of interval = 0.5986

Upper bound of interval = 0.9414

Let M be the set of all nxn matrices. Define a relation on won M by A B there exists an invertible matrix P such that A = P BP S
Sophie [7]

Answer:

Recall that a relation is an <em>equivalence relation</em> if and only if is symmetric, reflexive and transitive. In order to simplify the notation we will use A↔B when A is in relation with B.

<em>Reflexive: </em>We need to prove that A↔A. Let us write J for the identity matrix and recall that J is invertible. Notice that A=J^{-1}AJ. Thus, A↔A.

<em>Symmetric</em>: We need to prove that A↔B implies B↔A. As A↔B there exists an invertible matrix P such that A=P^{-1}BP. In this equality we can perform a right multiplication by P^{-1} and obtain AP^{-1} =P^{-1}B. Then, in the obtained equality we perform a left multiplication by P and get PAP^{-1} =B. If we write Q=P^{-1} and Q^{-1} = P we have B = Q^{-1}AQ. Thus, B↔A.

<em>Transitive</em>: We need to prove that A↔B and B↔C implies A↔C. From the fact A↔B we have A=P^{-1}BP and from B↔C we have B=Q^{-1}CQ. Now, if we substitute the last equality into the first one we get

A=P^{-1}Q^{-1}CQP = (P^{-1}Q^{-1})C(QP).

Recall that if P and Q are invertible, then QP is invertible and (QP)^{-1}=P^{-1}Q^{-1}. So, if we denote R=QP we obtained that

A=R^{-1}CR. Hence, A↔C.

Therefore, the relation is an <em>equivalence relation</em>.
