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

What is the quotient of 2 1/9÷3 4/5
Karolina [17]

Answer:

\frac{5}{9}

Step-by-step explanation:

2 \frac{1}{9}  \div 3 \frac{4}{5}  \\  \\  =  \frac{2 \times 9 + 1}{9}  \div  \frac{3 \times 5 + 4}{5}  \\  \\  =  \frac{18 + 1}{9}  \div  \frac{15 + 4}{5}\\  \\  =  \frac{19}{9}  \div  \frac{19}{5}\\  \\  =  \frac{19}{9}  \times  \frac{5}{19} \\  \\  =  \frac{5}{9}

Will give brainlist Very unlikely answer choices: A. 1 B. 0.01 C. 0.9 D. 0 E. 0.6 F. 0.5 G. 0.35
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

B) 0.01

Step-by-step explanation:

If they want to know which one is very unlikely, you could turn them into percents.

1=100%

0.01=1%

0.9=90%

0=0%

0.6=60%

0.5=50%

0.35=35%

Since 0% is "impossible", not just "very unlikely", I'd go with 1%, which is B) 0.01

This is assuming I'm understanding your question correctly, since it doesn't actually ask a question.
