A sample of 900 college freshmen were randomly selected for a national survey. Among the survey participants, 372 students were

pursuing liberal arts degrees. The sample proportion is 0.413.What is the margin of error for a 99% confidence interval for this sample? What is the lower endpoint for the 99% confidence interval?

Answer:

a) ME=2.58 \sqrt{\frac{0.413(1-0.413)}{900}}=0.0423

b) 0.413 - 2.58 \sqrt{\frac{0.413(1-0.413)}{900}}=0.371

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Data given and notation  

n=900 represent the random sample taken    

X=372 represent the students were pursuing liberal arts degrees

\hat p=\frac{372}{900}=0.413 estimated proportion of students were pursuing liberal arts degrees

\alpha=0.01 represent the significance level

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)    

p_v represent the p value (variable of interest)    

p= population proportion of students were pursuing liberal arts degrees

2) Solution to the problem

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

The margin of error is given by:

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

If we replace we have:

ME=2.58 \sqrt{\frac{0.413(1-0.413)}{900}}=0.0423

And replacing into the confidence interval formula we got:

0.413 - 2.58 \sqrt{\frac{0.413(1-0.413)}{900}}=0.371

0.413 + 2.58 \sqrt{\frac{0.413(1-0.413)}{900}}=0.455

And the 99% confidence interval would be given (0.371;0.455).

We are confident (99%) that about 37.1% to 45.5% of students were pursuing liberal arts degrees.

A parabola is given by the equation y = x2 + 4x + 4.
notsponge [240]

Answer:

the vertex of the parabola is:(-2,0)

the focus of the parabola is:(-2,\frac{1}{4})

the directrix of the parabola is:y=\frac{-1}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that for any general equation of the parabola of the type y=ax^{2} +b x+c the vertex of the parabola is given by (h,k)

where h=\frac{-b}{2 a} and k=\frac{4 a c-b^{2} }{4a}

therefore by the given data we have h=-2 and k=0

hence vertex=(-2,0)

the general equation of the parabola of the type 4 a (y-h)=(x-k)^2 ; the parabola symmetric around the y-axis has the focus from the centre i.e. the vertex (h,k) at a distance a as (h,k+a) and the directrix is given by y=k-a

so focus is (-2,\frac{1}{4} )

now the directrix of the parabola is y=\frac{-1}{4}.

Positive angles located in the fourth quadrant may be described as___.
gladu [14]

Answer:

Positive angles located in the fourth quadrant may be described as<u> 270≤Ф≤360 .</u>

The option is

4. 270≤Ф≤360

Step-by-step explanation:

When the terminal arm of an angle starts from the x-axis in the anticlockwise direction then the angles are always positive angles.

For Example.

Quadrant I    - 0 to 90°

Quadrant II   - 90° to 180°

Quadrant III  - 180° to 270°

Quadrant IV - 270° to 360° ( 4. 270≤Ф≤360  )

Hence,Positive angles located in the fourth quadrant may be described as<u> 270≤Ф≤360 .</u>

When the terminal arm of an angle starts from the x-axis in the clockwise direction than the angles are negative angles.

Quadrant IV  -          0° to -90°

Quadrant III   -      - 90° to -180°

Quadrant II    -      -180° to -270°

Quadrant I     -      -270° to -360°
