Answer:

ME=1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.47 (1-0.47)}{800}}=0.0346  

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".  

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.  

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".  

The population proportion have the following distribution

p \sim N(p,\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}})

Solution to the problem

We assume for this case a confidence level of 95%. In order to find the critical value we need to take in count that we are finding the interval for a proportion, so on this case we need to use the z distribution. Since our interval is at 95% of confidence, our significance level would be given by \alpha=1-0.95=0.05 and \alpha/2 =0.025. And the critical value would be given by:

z_{\alpha/2}=-1.96, z_{1-\alpha/2}=1.96

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:  

\hat p \pm z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{n}}

The margin of error for the proportion interval is given by this formula:  

ME=z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{n}}    (a)  

And if we replace the values obtained we got this:

ME=1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.47 (1-0.47)}{800}}=0.0346

Is 11,13,17 a right triangle
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

no

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the Pythagorean theorem to check

a^2 +b^2 = c^2

11^2+13^2 = 17^2

121+169 =289

410 does not equal 289

This is not a right triangle

Jamison needs a total of $395 to buy a new bike. He has $35 saved. He earns $15 each week delivering newspapers . How many more
dmitriy555 [2]

An equation is formed of two equal expressions. The number of weeks for which Jamison needs to deliver papers to earn enough money for a bike is 24.

<h3>What is an equation?</h3>

An equation is formed when two equal expressions are equated together with the help of an equal sign '='.

Given that Jamison needs a total of $395 to buy a new bike but he has only $35 saved. Also, He earns $15 each week delivering newspapers.

Now, the equation that can represent the situation can be written as,

Cost of the bike = Amount Saved + Earning by delivering newspapers

Substituting the values,

$395 = $35 + $15x

where x is the number of weeks for Which Jamison needs to work in order to purchase the new bike. Therefore, solving the equation for x,

395 = 35 + 15x

395 - 35 = 15x

360 = 15x

x = 360 / 15

x = 24

Hence, the number of weeks for which Jamison needs to deliver papers to earn enough money for a bike is 24.

So, r' (the new r) becomes kr, and h'=h*k,

so V' = pi * (r')^2*h' = pi * (r*k)^2*(h*k) = pi*r^2*h*k^3 = V * k^3

The measures of 5 of the Interior angles of a hexagon are: 115.125", 85", 150", and 170". What is the measure of the
levacccp [35]

The measure of the  largest exterior angle of hexagon is 105

<u>Solution:</u>

Given, The measures of 5 of the Interior angles of a hexagon are: 115.125", 85", 150", and 170".  

We have to find what is the measure of the largest exterior angle?  

Now let us find the 6th interior angle,  

We know that, sum of interior angles of hexagon = 720 degrees

115 + 125 + 85 + 150 + 170 + 6th angle = 720

645 + 6th angle = 720  

6th angle = 720 – 645  

6th angle = 75 degrees

Now we have to find the largest exterior angle, we know that, the complement of largest exterior angle will be smallest interior angle.

So, here smallest interior angle is 75  

sum of interior and exterior angle equals to 180

Hence interior angle + exterior angle =180

Then, 75 + exterior angle = 180  

Exterior angle = 180 – 75 = 105.  

Hence, exterior angle is 105 and 1st option is correct.
