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

Let's first take a look at function G. From the first to second row, the x-value increases by 2, and the y-value increases by 8.

Thus, function G has a rate of change of 8/2, or 4.

In function H, there is a "2" before the "x", which means function H has a rate of change of 2.

Thus, the statement that is true is:

  • Function G has a rate of change of 4, and function H has a rate of change of 2

Let me know if you need any clarifications, thanks!

Reduce a 24 cm by 36 cm photo to 3/4 original size.

The most logical way to do this is to keep the width-to-height ratio the same:  It is 24/36, or 2/3.  The original photo has an area of (24 cm)(36 cm) = 864 cm^2.

Let's reduce that to 3/4 size:  Mult. 864 cm^2 by (3/4).  Result:  648 cm^2.

We need to find new L and new W such that W/L = 2/3 and WL = 648 cm^2.

From the first equation we get W = 2L/3.  Thus, WL = 648 cm^2 = (2L/3)(L).

Solve this last equation for L^2, and then for L:

2L^2/3 = 648, or (2/3)L^2 = 648.  Thus, L^2 = (3/2)(648 cm^2) = 972 cm^2.

Taking the sqrt of both sides, L = + 31.18 cm.  Then W must be 2/3 of that, or W = 20.78 cm.

Check:  is LW = (3/4) of the original 864 cm^2?  YES.
