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).

In the right triangle shown,<br> m<br> V<br> = 60° and UV = 18.<br> 60°<br> How long is UW?
frutty [35]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two case I used, since we are not give diagram, so I assumed that U can be the right angle and also assume that W can be the right angle so, I used both assumption to solve, check attachment

1. Using Trigonometry

Assuming that U is the right angle

Tan  θ = opp / adj

Tan 60 = UW / UV

Tan 60 = UW / 18

UW = 18 × Tan60

UW = 18 × √3

UW = 18√3

UW = 31.18 unit

Also, assume that W is right angle

Using trigonometry

Sinθ = opp / hyp

Sin60 = UW / UV

Sin60 = UW / 18

UW = 18 × sin60

UW = 18 × √3/2

UW = 9√3

UW = 15.59 unit

Which graph represents y= square root x?​
Arada [10]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

y=\sqrt{x} is the square root function. The graph of this function has been attached below. As you can see, this is in fact a function it passes the Vertical Line Test for Functions that establishes that if a vertical line intersects a graph at most one point, then this is a function. From the square root function we know:

  • The domain of the function is the set of all nonnegative real numbers.
  • The range of the function is the set of all nonnegative real numbers.
  • The origin (0,0) is an intercept of the graph.  
  • The graph increases on the interval (0, \infty).
