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

A storekeeper increased the price of hats by 8% A hat was originally priced at $12.00. What is the new cost of the hat?
german

Answer:

$12.96

Step-by-step explanation:

determine what the decimal form of 8% is

⇒ 8% = 0.08

multiply $12 by 0.08

⇒ $12 x 0.08

⇒ $0.96

add $0.96 to $12

⇒ $12 + $0.96

⇒ $12.96

new price

⇒ $12.96

NISA [10]

Answer:

{ \tt{average =  \frac{f(1) + f(5)}{2} }} \\  \\  = { \tt{ \frac{( {1}^{2}  - 1 - 6) + ( {5}^{2} - 5 - 6) }{2} }} \\  =  \frac{ - 6 + 14}{2}  \\  \\  = { \tt{4}}
