The National Vital Statistics Reports for November 2011 states that U.S. preterm birth rate for 2010 was about 12%. Preterm birt

h means premature birth. Suppose that this year a random sample of 500 births has 52 that are preterm. Prompt Using the estimate from the NVS Report for 2011 and the result from this year’s random sample, estimate the percent of preterm births this year with 95% confidence interval. (Be sure to check that a normal model is appropriate and show your work for calculating the 95% confidence in a fashion similar to the examples.)

Answer:

0.104 - 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.104(1-0.104)}{500}}=0.0772

0.104 + 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.104(1-0.104)}{500}}=0.1308

The 95% confidence interval would be given by (0.0772;0.1308)

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we can calculate the estimated proportion like this:

\hat p =\frac{52}{500}= 0.104

We can assume that the normal model can be used since we satisfy two conditions:

np =500*0.104= 52>10

n(1-p) = 500*(1-0.104) = 448>10

The confidence level for this case is 95% of confidence, and the significance is given by \alpha=1-0.95=0.05 and \alpha/2 =0.025. And the critical value would be given by:

z_{\alpha/2}=-1.96, z_{1-\alpha/2}=1.96

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:  

\hat p \pm z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{n}}

Replacing the values we got:

0.104 - 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.104(1-0.104)}{500}}=0.0772

0.104 + 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.104(1-0.104)}{500}}=0.1308

The 95% confidence interval would be given by (0.0772;0.1308)

Answer:

Therefore, the 95% confidence interval would be given by= (0.0771 , 0.1309)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Sample size=n=500

Let, X be the number of preterm.

Here , X=52

The sample proportion is , p=X/n=52/500=0.1040

q= 1 - p = 0.8960

Therefore , the 95% confidence interval estimate for the percent of preterm of births this year is ,

P\pm Z_{\alpha /2}\sqrt{\frac{pq}{n} }

0.1040 \pm Z_{0.05/2}\sqrt{\frac{0.1040 \times 0.8960}{500} } \\\\0.1040*1.96*0.0137

From normal probability integral table;

Z_{0.05/2} =1.96\\\\0.1040 \pm 0.0269

Therefore, the 95% confidence interval would be given by= (0.0771 , 0.1309)

Multiply the sum of X and Y by 5 and divide the result by the product of two and a​
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

\frac{5(x+y)}{2a} or you could write it as 5(x+Y) ÷ 2a

Step-by-step explanation:

So this is a question that kind of uses spoken words rather than numbers and it involves PEMDAS (if you haven't gotten to PEMDAS yet, don't worry about it, it's ok, it's easy). PEMDAS is simply an acronym for Parenthesis, Exponent, Multiply, Divide, Add, Subtract. Its the order in wwhich you do more complicaterd math problems.

Lets break apart the question:

- We have the sum of x and y, we just write that as x+y

- We have that sum multiplied by 5, we have the sum from the step above, now we'll multiply that by 5. 5(x+y) parenthesis means multiply what is outside with what is inside.

- We have the product (multiply) of 2 and a, 2 times a = 2a.

- We divide the x, y, and 5 term with the 2, a term. Take the first part 5(x+y) and divide it by the second part 2a.
