Answer:

The 95% confidence interval  for the true proportion of mice that will test positive under similar conditions is (0.5291, 0.6429).

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of \pi, and a confidence interval 1-\alpha, we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

In which

Z is the zscore that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}.

For this problem, we have that:

In a collection of experiments under the same conditions, 44 of 75 mice test positive for lymphadenopathy. This means that n = 75 and \pi = \frac{44}{75} = 0.586.

Compute a 95% confidence interval for the true proportion of mice that will test positive under similar conditions.

So \alpha = 0.05, z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{0.05}{2} = 0.975, so Z = 1.96.

The lower limit of this interval is:

\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.586 - 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.586*0.414}{75}} = 0.5291

The upper limit of this interval is:

\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.586 + 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.586*0.414}{75}} = 0.6429

The 95% confidence interval  for the true proportion of mice that will test positive under similar conditions is (0.5291, 0.6429).

The equation X squared plus Y squared minus 2X plus 7Y +1 equals zero can be written as which of the following equations
ad-work [718]

For this case we must write in algebraic symbology the expression described above:

We have an equation, then:

  • x squared plus y squared: x ^ 2 + y ^ 2
  • minus 2x plus 7y plus 1: -2x + 7y + 1
  • equals zero: = 0

We construct the equation:

x ^ 2 + y ^ 2-2x + 7y + 1 = 0

Answer:

x ^ 2 + y ^ 2-2x + 7y + 1 = 0
