A public health department wants to determine the rate that parents of teen boys are choosing to vaccinate their sons for HPV wi

viktelen [127]

Answer:

The correct option is B

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The sample size is $n = 64$

The proportion that choose to vaccinate the teen boys is $\r p = 0.12$

considering the first statement

The 95% confidence interval is 12% ± the margin of error*standard deviation is false because

The 95% confidence interval is is %12 ± the margin of error

considering the second statement

The confidence interval should not be calculated due to the small sample size is true because from the central limit theorem

np = 64 * 0.12 = 7.68

and this value is less than 10 hence the confidence interval should not be calculated

considering the third statement

A 99% confidence interval will be smaller than the 90% confidence interval is false

This is because as the confidence level increase (for example from 90% to 99%) the margin of error increase which increases the confidence interval

It is known that 40% of adult workers have a high school diploma. If a random sample of 10 adult workers is selected, what is th

Maurinko [17]

Answer:

The expected number of adult workers with a high school diploma is 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

This random variable X can be modeled with the binomial distribution, with parameters n=10 (the sample size) and p=0.4 (the probability that a adult worker have a high school diploma).

The expected value of X is then the mean of the binomial distribution with the parameters already mentioned.

This is calculated as:

$E(X)=\mu_b=n\cdot p=10\cdot0.4=4$

A population of beetles are growing according to a linear growth model. The initial population (week 0) is P0=9, and the populat

Marat540 [252]

Answer:

y = 4x + 9

week 21

Step-by-step explanation:

first I did 37-9 and got 28 I divide that by 7 ( seven weeks) and got 4 so I know the slope is 4.

so to find how many weeks till 93 I did; 93 = 4x + 9. We have to get x by its self so I minus 9 by both sides and got 84 = 4x. So now we divid both sides by 4 to get x by its self and we end up with 21 = x
