If you live in California, the decision to purchase earthquake insurance is a critical one. An article in the Annals of the Asso

ciation of American Geographers investigated many factors that California residents consider when purchasing earthquake insurance. The survey revealed that only 141 of 345 randomly selected residences in Los Angeles County were protected by earthquake insurance. Estimate with 90% confidence the proportion of all L.A. County residences that have earthquake insurance. (Round to 3 decimal places.) Complete the following sentence to provide an interpretation of the confidence interval in the context of the problem_________.

<h2><u>Answer with explanation</u>:</h2>

Let p be the  proportion of all L.A. County residences that have earthquake insurance.

Given : The survey revealed that only 141 of 345 randomly selected residences in Los Angeles County were protected by earthquake insurance.

i.e. n= 345

Sample Proportion : \hat{p}=\dfrac{141}{345}\approx0.409

Critical value for 90% confidence interval : z_c=1.645

Formula to find the confidence interval for population proportion :

\hat{p}\pm z_c\sqrt{\dfrac{\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})}{n}}

0.409\pm (1.645)\sqrt{\dfrac{0.409(1-0.409)}{345}}\\\\\approx0.409\pm 0.044\\\\=(0.409-0.044, \ 0.409+0.044)\\\\=(0.369,\ 0.453)

Hence, the 90% confidence the proportion of all L.A. County residences that have earthquake insurance = (0.369, 0.453)

Interpretation : We are 90% confident that the true proportion of all L.A. County residences that have earthquake insurance lies between 0.369 and 0.453 .

Explain how to perform a​ two-sample z-test for the difference between two population means using independent samples with known
iren2701 [21]

Answer:

The steps 1-7 have been explained

Step-by-step explanation:

The steps are;

1) We will verify that the population standard deviations are known and that the population is normally distributed which means the sample size must be a minimum of 30.

2) We will state the null and alternative hypothesis

3) We will determine the critical values from the relevant tables

4) From the critical values gotten, we will determine it's corresponding region where it can be rejected.

5)We will calculate the value of the test statistic from the formula;

z = [(x1' - x2') - (μ1 - μ2)]/√[((σ1)²/n1) + ((σ2)²/n2)]

6) If the value of the test statistic gotten from step 5 above falls in the region of rejection noted in step 4,then we will reject the null hypothesis

7) After rejection of the null hypothesis, we will now give a decision/conclusion on the claim.

the eagle trucking company must deliver 7/8 ton of cement blocks and 5/8 ton of bricks how much will this load weigh?
Mademuasel [1]
This load will weigh 1.5 TONS ALTOGETHER.

So, the truck is delivering a \frac{7}{8} ton of cement blocks, and a \frac{5}{8} of bricks. To find how much this load weighs, we'd have to add the two fractions together, which proves to be quite easy, because the denominators are already the same, so we wouldn't have to change anything.

\frac{7}{8} + \frac{5}{8} = \frac{12}{8}

And now, we would want to convert that fraction into a whole number, or at least a decimal, to find how many tons the truck is carrying. So we would divide. Once the work is done, here is what would happen:

12 ÷ 8 = 1.5

And there's your answer. The truck is carrying 1.5 TONS.

Which value of x is the solution of the equation 2(x – 4) + 7 = 3? (a) 1 (b) 6 (c) 2 (d) 0
pav-90 [236]

Answer:

(c) 2

Step-by-step explanation:

2(x - 4) + 7 = 3

2x + 2(-4) + 7 = 3

2x - 8 + 7 = 3

2x - 1 = 3

2x - 1 + 1 = 3 + 1

2x = 4

2x/2 = 4/2

x = 2

Hope this helps!!!
