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 .

Which of the following shows of the slope of the line and one point on the line?
uysha [10]
Answer is choice D

This is the only answer choice with a negative slope, so we don't even need to look at the point really. Though if you wanted, you can confirm that the point (1,-3) is on the diagonal line. This point is shown in red in the attached image.

To find that the slope is -6/5, you pick two points on the diagonal line and use the slope formula. Two points you can use are (1,-3) and (-4,3).
The slope formula is m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

Note: The negative slope is because we move downhill as we move from left to right along the diagonal line.
