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

Would I distribute or foil first -2(b-2)(b-2)
7nadin3 [17]
You would distribute the -2 and the first b-2
-2xb= -2b
-2x-2= 2
So it would now be -2b - 2 (b-2)

Answer:

D. 17/7

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's make 2 3/7 into an improper fraction. We first multiply the 2 to 7 and then add the 3. So 2 x 7 = 14, 14 + 3 = 17. The denominator always stays the same. Therefore our answer is 17/7

Answer:

The answer to your question is: second option

Step-by-step explanation:

g(x) = x + 4

- This function is linear because the power of x is 1, if the power were a different number it would not be linear.

- As the sign of 4 is positive, it means that the function is translated 4 units up.

- A constant is when there is a number, for example +4 or -4, in this example the function also has a letter "X" so it is not a constant.
