Determine the sample size needed to construct a 90% confidence interval to estimate the population proportion when p = 0.65 and

WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

n=170

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Notation and definitions

$n$ random sample taken (variable of interest)

$\hat p=0.65$ estimated proportion.

$p$ true population

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

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

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 90% of confidence, our significance level would be given by $\alpha=1-0.90=0.1$ and $\alpha/2 =0.05$ . And the critical value would be given by:

$z_{\alpha/2}=\pm 1.64$

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 on this case we have that $ME =\pm 0.06$ and we are interested in order to find the value of n, if we solve n from equation (a) we got:

$n=\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{(\frac{ME}{z})^2}$ (b)

And replacing into equation (b) the values from part a we got:

$n=\frac{0.65(1-0.65)}{(\frac{0.06}{1.64})^2}=169.968$

And rounded up we have that n=170

Plss answer my question now i need it this friday

Hello! i can do the first word problem

first we need to divide 600/3 which is 200.
therefore we can infer that he does 200 letters an hour and we can solve the problem with this

200 x 7 = 1400 letters an hour

You are designing a container in the shape of a cylinder. The radius is 6 inches. You want the container to hold at least 324π c

goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer: 9 inches

Explaination: The volume of a cylinder, V = (πr^2)H, so H = V/(πr^2).

Using the parameters you specified, H = 324π/[(π)(6^2)] = 324π/36π = 324/36 = 9 inches

Answer: 5.196152423

Step-by-step explanation: Logically considering it's a Rhombus all the sides are equal to each other. So you just need to find the area. In this case you find the area by multiplying the sin of the given angle by the square root of the given side. So, 6²×sin (60)=6²×√3/2=31.17691454. After finding the area you then have to divide the area by it's base to find the height. So, 31.17691454 ÷ 6 = 5.196152423.

I didn't round any of the numbers. Hopefully this is correct.

Sorry about the messy diagrams (never been good at creating them) and how long it took.
