Of 585 samples of seafood purchased from various kinds of food stores in different regions of a country and genetically compared

to standard gene fragments that can identify the​ species, 19​% were mislabeled. ​a) Construct a 99​% confidence interval for the proportion of all seafood sold in the country that is mislabeled or misidentified. ​b) Explain what your confidence interval says about seafood sold in the country. ​c) A government spokesperson claimed that the sample size was too​ small, relative to the billions of pieces of seafood sold each​ year, to generalize. Is this criticism​ valid? ​a) What is the 99​% confidence​ interval? The 99​% confidence interval is from nothing​% to nothing​%. ​(Round to one decimal place as​ needed.)

Answer:

a) The 99% confidence interval is from 14.8% to 23.2%.

b) The confidence interval tells us that the true proportion of mislabeled is within 14.8% and 23.2%, with a 99% confidence. In other words, if we take samples of the same size, 99% of the samples will have a proportion within 0.148 and 0.232.

c) The confidence interval calculation take into account the sample size, so the width (or precision) of the interval depends on the sample size.

The only criticism that could be analyzed is to see if the sample is representative of the population.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) We have to calculate a 99% confidence interval for the proportion.

The sample proportion is p=0.19.

 

The standard error of the proportion is:

\sigma_p=\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{0.19*0.81}{585}}\\\\\\ \sigma_p=\sqrt{0.000263}=0.016

The critical z-value for a 99% confidence interval is z=2.576.

The margin of error (MOE) can be calculated as:

MOE=z\cdot \sigma_p=2.576 \cdot 0.02=0.042

Then, the lower and upper bounds of the confidence interval are:

LL=p-z \cdot \sigma_p = 0.19-0.042=0.148\\\\UL=p+z \cdot \sigma_p = 0.19+0.042=0.232

The 99% confidence interval for the population proportion is (0.148, 0.232).

Find the distance between the points (3, 8) and (0,4).
Bingel [31]

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

(3,8) (0,4)

X1 = 3    X2 = 0

Y1 = 8    Y2 = 4

D=\sqrt{(X1-X2)^{2}+ (Y1-Y2)^{2}  }

D= \sqrt{(3-0)^{2} + (8-4)^{2} }

Do what's in the parentheses so...

  1. 3-0= 3
  2. 8-4= 4

Now plug it in!

D= \sqrt{(3)^{2}+(4)^{2}  }

Now you are going to finish the parentheses so...

  1. (3)^2= 9
  2. (4)^2= 16

Plug that in so that you have this...

\sqrt{9+16}

Add 9+16 to get...

\sqrt{25}

Then you are going to find the number or numbers that make this a perfect square...

\sqrt{25}= 5

So 5 is your answer

D.) A line that has a slope of 3, and goes through the<br> point (2,8); answer in point-slope form.
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

y - 8 = 3(x - 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Start with the basic point-slope form of the equation of a straight line:

y - k = m(x - h).  Here the given point is (2, 8), so assign the value 2 to h and the value 8 to k, also the value 3 to m.  Then:

y - 8 = 3(x - 2)
