A random sample of 100 people from Country S had 15 people with blue eyes. A separate random sample of 100 people from Country B

had 25 people with blue eyes.
Assuming all conditions are met, which of the following is a 95 percent confidence interval to estimate the difference in population proportions of people with blue eyes (Country S - Country B)?

A) (-0.01, 0.21)
B) (-0.15, -0.05)
C) (-0.19, -0.01)
D (-0.21, 0.01)
E) (-0.24, 0.01)

Given Information:

Sample size of country S = ns = 100

Sample size of country B = nb = 100

Number of people with blue eyes in country S = 15

Number of people with blue eyes in country B = 25

Confidence level = 95%

Required Information:

Difference in population proportion = ?

Answer:

A (-0.01, 0.21)

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference in mean is

μ = ps - pb

μ = 15/100 - 25/100

μ = 0.15 - 0.25

μ = 0.10

The difference in standard error is

ο = z*√(ps(1 - ps)/ns + pb(1 - pb)/nb)

The z-score corresponding to 95% confidence interval is 1.96

ο = 1.96*√(0.15(1 - 0.15)/100 + 0.25(1 - 0.25)/100)

ο = 1.96*√(0.15(0.85)/100 + 0.25(0.75)/100)

ο = 0.11

Therefore, the difference in population proportion with blue eyes is

μ ± ο

μ + ο, μ - ο

0.10 + 0.11, 0.10 - 0.11

0.21, -0.01

(-0.01, 0.21)

Therefore, the correct option is A.

Answer:

<h2>The correct answer is option (D)  (-0.21, 0.01)</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution:

Data Given;

Total number of people in country S = 100

people with blue eyes in country  S = 15

Total number of people in country B = 100

People with blue eyes in country  B = 25

Let the Y represent number of people with blue eyes in both countries and let Z represent total number of people in both country.

Therefore,

Y₁= 15

Y₂= 25

Z₁ = 100

Z₂ = 100

Sample proportion of country (S₁)  = Y1/Z1 = 15/100 = 0.15

Sample proportion of B country  (S₂) =  Y2/Z2 = 25/100 = 0.25

To calculate the 95% confidence interval, we use the formula;

<h2>Confidence interval (CI) =</h2><h2> (S₁ -S₂)  ± Zₐ₋₂ * √[S₁( 1-S₁)/z₁ + S₂(1-S₂)/z₂]</h2><h2>                                                                                                      </h2>

At 95% confidence interval, the z-score from standard normal table is  1.96.

Substituting into the formula, we have;

CI = (0.15-0.25) ± 1.96*√[0.15( 1-0.15/100) + 0.25(1-0.25)/100]

   =  -0.1 ± 1.96*√[(0.15*0.85)/100 + (0.25*0.75)/100]

   = -0.1 ± 1.96*√[0.1275/100+ 0.1875/100]

   = -0.1 ± 1.96*√[0.001275 + 0.001875]

   = -0.1 ± 1.96* √0.00315

  = -0.1 ± 1.96*0.0561

  = -0.1 +0.11

  = -0.1 -0.11 , -0.1 + 0.11

<h2>  CI  = (-0.21, 0.01)</h2>

astra-53 [7]

Answer:

The balance of account at the end of 36 years is $31,849.29

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

P = $3,300

r = 6.5% = 0.065

t = 36 years

The compound interest is given by:

A = p\bigg(1+\dfrac{r}{n}\bigg)^{nt}

where A is the amount, p is the principal, r is the interest rate, t is the time in years and n is the nature of compound interest.

Since interest is compounded annualy we use n = 1

A = 3300\bigg(1+\dfrac{0.065}{1}\bigg)^{36}\\\\A = \$31,849.29

Thus, balance of account at the end of 36 years is $31,849.29

Carlos has received a 9% salary increase. If he now earns $654 per week, what was his salary before the increase.?
babunello [35]
So let's say he was earring x before his raise. That means that:
x times 1.09 = 654 (1.09 represents 100% (this is the 1.0) of his original salary plus 9% (this is the .09) his raise.
So,
1.09x = 654; now divide both sides by 1.09 to isolate and solve for x, and you get x = $600.

Mnenie [13.5K]

The correct option that shows the population of the research carried out by Matthew is;

<u><em>Option D; all the students attending the college</em></u>

<u><em></em></u>

  • We are told that Matthew wants to estimate the mean height of students attending his college.

  • Now, let us say the total number of students in his college is x. If he decides to select 100 students randomly to record their height, it means this 100 students is a sample out of the total number of students which is x that is the population.

        In conclusion, we can say that the population of this research by Matthew is the total number of students that attend the college.
