Answer:

FALSE

Step-by-step explanation:

In probability, the frequency of each of the outcomes is used to divide the total number of outcomes as this will be able to calculate the probability of each outcomes, this implies that, it is not a must that each outcomes must be the same or equally likely, hence the statement is FALSE.

As such, Probability = Number of favorable outcomes / total number of equiprobable outcomes

Of 580580 samples of seafood purchased from various kinds of food stores in different regions of a country and genetically compa

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

a) The 99% confidence interval would be given (0.204;0.296).

b) We have 99% of confidence that the true population proportion of all seafood sold in the country that is mislabeled or misidentified is between (0.204;0.296).

c) No that's not true. Because the necessary assumptions and conditions for the confidence interval for the proportion are satisifed, so then we can use inferential statistics to interpret the interval to the population of interest.

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a

Data given and notation

n=580 represent the random sample taken

X represent the seafood sold in the country that is mislabeled or misidentified by the people

$\hat p=0.25$ estimated proportion of seafood sold in the country that is mislabeled or misidentified by the people

$\alpha=0.01$ represent the significance level (no given, but is assumed)

p= population proportion of seafood sold in the country that is mislabeled or misidentified by the people

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

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

The confidence interval would be given by this formula

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

For the 99% confidence interval the value of $\alpha=1-0.99=0.01$ and $\alpha/2=0.005$ , with that value we can find the quantile required for the interval in the normal standard distribution.

$z_{\alpha/2}=2.58$

And replacing into the confidence interval formula we got:

$0.25 - 2.58 \sqrt{\frac{0.25(1-0.25)}{580}}=0.204$

$0.25 + 2.58 \sqrt{\frac{0.25(1-0.25)}{580}}=0.296$

And the 99% confidence interval would be given (0.204;0.296).

Part b

We have 99% of confidence that the true population proportion of all seafood sold in the country that is mislabeled or misidentified is between (0.204;0.296).

Part c

A government spokesperson claimed that the sample size was too small, relative to the billions of pieces of seafood sold each year, to generalize. Is this criticism valid?

No that's not true. Because the necessary assumptions and conditions for the confidence interval for the proportion are satisifed, so then we can use inferential statistics to interpret the interval to the population of interest.

Ok need help this is the question :Use the Pythagorean theorem to write an equation for the distance Jane's trainer bikes.

IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

<em>Jane traveled 8 miles farther then her trainer</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>The Pythagora's Theorem</u>

In any right triangle, the square of the measure of the hypotenuse is the sum of the squares of the legs. This can be expressed with the formula:

$c^2=a^2+b^2$

Where

c = Hypotenuse or largest side

a,b = Legs or shorter sides

Jane's path from the Health Club to the end of her route describes two sides of a right triangle of lengths a=16 miles and b=12 miles.

Her total distance traveled is 16 + 12 = 28 miles

Her trainer goes directly from the Health Club to meet her through the hypotenuse of the triangle formed in the path.

We can calculate the length of his route as:

$c=\sqrt{16^2+12^2}$

$c=\sqrt{256+144}=\sqrt{400}=20$

c = 20 miles

The difference between their traveled lengths is 28 - 20 = 8 miles

Jane traveled 8 miles farther then her trainer

PLEASE ANSWER ASAP

Vlada [557]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

For an inverse function you take f(x) and turn that to y then you switch x and y. So you should start off with y= 5x -8. so then you switch x and y so x= 5y - 8. So then you solve. You subtract 8 from both sides and divide by 5 and you get F(x) inverse = x + 8/5
