Soft drink consumption in New Zealand. A survey commissioned by the Southern Cross Healthcare Group reported that 16% of New Zea

landers consume five or more servings of soft drinks per week. The data were obtained by an online survey of 2006 randomly selected New Zealanders over 15 years of age.a) What number of survey respondents reported that they consume five or more servings of soft drinks per week? You will need to round your answer. Why? b) Find a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of New Zealanders who report that they consume five or more servings of soft drinks per week. c) Convert the estimate and your confidence interval to percents. d) Discuss reasons why the estimate might be biased.

<h2>Answer with explanation:</h2>

Given : The proportion of New Zealanders consume five or more servings of soft drinks per week :\hat{p}= 0.16

a) The number of survey respondents reported that they consume five or more servings of soft drinks per week = 2006

b) Confidence interval for population proportion (p) :

\hat{p}\pm z^*\sqrt{\dfrac{\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})}{n}}

, where \hat{p} = Sample proportion.

n= Sample size.

z* = Critical value.

For n= 2006 , \hat{p}= 0.16 and critical value for 95% confidence interval : z* = 1.96

Then , the required confidence interval will be :

0.16\pm (1.96)\sqrt{\dfrac{ 0.16(1- 0.16)}{2006}}

0.16\pm (1.96)\sqrt{ 0.000066999002991}

0.16\pm (1.96)(0.00818529186963)

0.16\pm 0.0160431720645

(0.16-0.0160431720645,\ 0.16+0.0160431720645)

(0.143956827935,\ 0.176043172064)\approx(0.144,\ 0.176)

i.e. A 95% confidence interval for the proportion of New Zealanders who report that they consume five or more servings of soft drinks per week. = (0.144,\ 0.176)

c) (0.144,\ 0.176)=(0.144\times100\%,\ 0.176\times100\%)

=(14.4\%,\ 17.6\%)176\times100\%)[/tex]

d) The estimate might be biased because the survey is taken online that means offline New Zealanders are out of consideration.

gregori [183]

Answer: 7/24

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is the branch of mathematics that is concerned with the numerical descriptions of how likely an event will occur or how likely a proposition is true

The probability that the six-sided die is three or Abdul rolls doubles is 7/24. The calculation is attached.

2470.28277045 To 3 decimal places
jeka57 [31]

To run the these figures to 3 decimal places

you need to count from the digit after the decimal point until you reach the 3rd number which is 2

so now the answer is 2470.283

This is because the decimal point lies between 2 and 7 and since 7 is great than 5 we add 1 to the 2 making it 3

Sir Ving Spoon earned $5,436 on his $7,550 certificate of deposit. If he had the CD for 12 years, what simple interest rate did
Lilit [14]

6% or 0.06 is the simple interest rate the bank pays him.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Sir Ving Spoon earned $5,436 on his $7,550 certificate of deposit.

From this given information,

It can be determined that the Principal amount is $7550 and the interest amount is $5436.

The CD is for 12 years. Therefore, the number of years is 12.

<u>To find the interest rate (r) :</u>

Using the simple interest formula,

Interest = P×r×t

where,

  • P is the principal amount = $7550
  • r is the rate of interest.
  • t is the number of years = 12

⇒ 5436 = 7550 × r × 12

⇒ 5436 = 90600 × r

⇒ r = 5436 / 90600

⇒ r = 0.06

Multiply by 100 to represent in rate %

⇒ r = 0.06 × 100

⇒ r = 6%

∴ 6% or 0.06 is the simple interest rate the bank pays him.

24 inches is 250% of what length
Alinara [238K]
The answer is:  " 9.6 inches " .
________________________________________________________
Explanation:
________________________________________________________

24 = 250/100 * x  ;

24 = 2.5 x ; 

↔  2.5 x = 24 ; 

2.5 x / 2.5 = 24/ 2.5 ; 

x = 9.6 ; 

The answer is:  " 9.6 inches <span>" .

Find a solution x = x(t) of the equation x′ + 2x = t2 + 4t + 7 in the form of a quadratic function of t, that is, of the form x(
Temka [501]
The particular quadratic solution to the ODE is found as follows:

x=at^2+bt+c
x'=2at+b

(2at+b)+2(at^2+bt+c)=t^2+4t+7
2at^2+(2a+2b)t+(b+2c)=t^2+4t+7

\begin{cases}2a=1\\2(a+b)=4\\b+2c=7\end{cases}\implies a=\dfrac12,b=\dfrac32,c=\dfrac{11}4

Note that there's also the fundamental solution to account for, which is obtained from the characteristic equation for the ODE:

x'+2x=0\implies r+2=0\implies r=-2

so that x_c=Ce^{-2t} is a characteristic solution to the ODE, and the general solution would be

x=Ce^{-2t}+\dfrac{t^2}2+\dfrac{3t}2+\dfrac{11}4
