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)

Write an equation that has of constant of proportionality of 15.
vivado [14]

The equation with 15 will be y = 15x.

<h3>What is an equation?</h3>

The equation is defined as the relation between two variables, if we plot the graph of the linear equation we will get a straight line. The equation of a line in a general form can be written as below:-

y = mx + c

Where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept. The equation for the constant of proportionality 15 can be written as below:-

y = 15x

Here, y and x are variables and 15 is the constant value and is defined as the slope of the line.

Therefore, the equation with 15 will be y = 15x.

12 gallons of gas to travel 144 miles. Six gallons in the tank how much more will she need to travel 240
Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

14 gallons of a gas more will she need to travel 240 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Proportion states that the two fractions or ratios are equal.

Let x represents the more gallons will she need to travel 240 miles.

As per the statement:

12 gallons of gas to travel 144 miles. Six gallons in the tank.

Then;

By definition of proportion:

\frac{12}{144} = \frac{x+6}{240}

Multiply 240 to both sides of an equation we have;

\frac{12}{144} \times 240 = x+6

Simplify:

20 = x+6

Subtract 6 from both sides we get;

14 = x

Therefore, 14 gallons of a gas more will she need to travel 240 miles.
