A high school principal wishes to estimate how well his students are doing in math. Using 40 randomly chosen tests, he finds tha

ollegr [7]

Answer:

99% confidence interval for the population proportion of passing test scores is [0.5986 , 0.9414].

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a high school principal wishes to estimate how well his students are doing in math.

Using 40 randomly chosen tests, he finds that 77% of them received a passing grade.

Firstly, the pivotal quantity for 99% confidence interval for the population proportion is given by;

P.Q. = $\frac{\hat p-p}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ ~ N(0,1)

where, $\hat p$ = sample proportion of students received a passing grade = 77%

n = sample of tests = 40

p = population proportion

<em>Here for constructing 99% confidence interval we have used One-sample z proportion test statistics.</em>

So, 99% confidence interval for the population proportion, p is ;

P(-2.5758 < N(0,1) < 2.5758) = 0.99 {As the critical value of z at 0.5%

level of significance are -2.5758 & 2.5758}

P(-2.5758 < $\frac{\hat p-p}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ < 2.5758) = 0.99

P( $-2.5758 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ < ${\hat p-p}$ < $2.5758 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ ) = 0.99

P( $\hat p-2.5758 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ < p < $\hat p+2.5758 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ ) = 0.99

<u>99% confidence interval for p</u> = [ $\hat p-2.5758 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ , $\hat p+2.5758 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ ]

= [ $0.77-2.5758 \times {\sqrt{\frac{0.77(1-0.77)}{40} } }$ , $0.77+2.5758 \times {\sqrt{\frac{0.77(1-0.77)}{40} } }$ ]

= [0.5986 , 0.9414]

Therefore, 99% confidence interval for the population proportion of passing test scores is [0.5986 , 0.9414].

Lower bound of interval = 0.5986

Upper bound of interval = 0.9414

A man sells a type of nut for $7 per pound and a different one for $4.20 per pound, how much of each type should be used to make

qwelly [4]

Answer:

a type nut is 10 pounds

a different one is 14 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

let a type of the nut be represented by t

Let a different one be represented by d

a type of nut cost $7 per pound

a different one cost $4.20 per pound

The cost of the mixture for 24 pounds = 5.37 * 24

= $128.88

t + d = 24 ........(1)

7t + 4.2d = 128.88 ..........(2)

From equation (1), t = 24 - d

Put t = 24 - d in equation 2

7(24 - d) + 4.2d = 128.88

168 - 7d + 4.2d = 128.88

168 - 2.8d = 128.88

-2.8d = 128.88 - 168

-2.8d = -39.12

d = -39.12 / -2.8

d= 13.97

d = 14 pounds

t = 24 - d

t = 24 - 14

t = 10 pounds

A type nut is 10 pounds. A different one is 14 pounds

Which is the most accurate way to estimate 25% of 53?

Alex Ar [27]

You can calculate them out and check which one is the most accurate

so if one of the choices was 1/3 of 50, then you would do:
1/3 in the calculator (should be 0.333...) times 50

And you can compare it with the EXACT number, which is:
0.25*53=13.25

This way you can test all the options
