Answer:

The interval is constructed at 93% confidence.

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence interval concepts:

A confidence interval has two bounds, a lower bound and an upper bound.

A confidence interval is symmetric, which means that the point estimate used is the mid point between these two bounds, that is, the mean of the two bounds.

The margin of error is the difference between these two bounds, divided by 2.

Confidence interval of proportions concepts:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of \pi, and a confidence level of 1-\alpha, we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

In which

z is the zscore that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}.

The margin of error is:

M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

In this problem, we have that:

2050 people, so n = 2050.

Lower bound: 0.878

Upper bound: 0.903

\pi = \frac{0.878 + 0.903}{2} = 0.8905

M = \frac{0.903 - 0.878}{2} = 0.0125

Confidence level:

We have to find z.

M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

0.0125 = z\sqrt{\frac{0.8905*0.1095}{2050}}

0.0069z = 0.0125

z = \frac{0.0125}{0.0069}

z = 1.81

z = 1.81 has a pvalue of 0.965.

That is:

]1 - \frac{\alpha}{2} = 0.965

\frac{\alpha}{2} = 0.035

\alpha = 2*0.035

\alpha = 0.07

Finally

1 - \alpha = 1 - 0.07 = 0.93

The interval is constructed at 93% confidence.

The sum of two polynomials is â€"yz2 â€" 3z2 â€" 4y 4. If one of the polynomials is y â€" 4yz2 â€" 3, what is the other polynomi
gtnhenbr [62]

The sum of polynomials involves adding the polynomials

The other polynomial is y^3 -y^2+ 4y - 1

The sum of the polynomials is given as:

Sum = y^3 + 3y^2 + 4y - 4

One of the polynomials is given as:

P = 4y^2 - 3

Represent the other polynomial with Q.

So, we have:

P +Q =Sum

Substitute the expressions for P and Sum

4y^2 - 3 +Q =y^3 + 3y^2 + 4y - 4

Make Q the subject

Q =y^3 + 3y^2 -4y^2+ 4y - 4 +3

Evaluate like terms

Q =y^3 -y^2+ 4y - 1

Hence, the other polynomial is y^3 -y^2+ 4y - 1

Two of the exterior angles of a triangle are $158^\circ$ and $99^\circ.$ Find the third exterior angle, in degrees.
Lisa [10]

Answer:

The third exterior angle is 103^o

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\theta = 158^o

\alpha = 99^o

Required

The third exterior angle (\beta)

The exterior angles of a triangle add up to 360 degrees.

So:

\theta + \alpha + \beta = 360^o

Make \beta the subject

\beta = 360^o - (\theta + \alpha)

Substitute known values

\beta = 360^o - (158^o + 99^o)

\beta = 103^o
