The state education commission wants to estimate the fraction of tenth grade students that have reading skills at or below the e

ighth grade level. Suppose a sample of 1537 tenth graders is drawn. Of the students sampled, 1184 read above the eighth grade level. Using the data, construct the 95% confidence interval for the population proportion of tenth graders reading at or below the eighth grade level.

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval for the population proportion of tenth graders reading at or below the eighth grade level is (0.2087, 0.2507).

Step-by-step explanation:

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}.

For this problem, we have that:

Suppose a sample of 1537 tenth graders is drawn. Of the students sampled, 1184 read above the eighth grade level. So 1537 - 1184 = 353 read at or below this level. Then

n = 1537, \pi = \frac{353}{1537} = 0.2297

95% confidence level

So \alpha = 0.05, z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{0.05}{2} = 0.975, so Z = 1.96.

The lower limit of this interval is:

\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.2297 - 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.2297*0.7703}{1537}} = 0.2087

The upper limit of this interval is:

\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.2297 + 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.2297*0.7703}{1537}} = 0.2507

The 95% confidence interval for the population proportion of tenth graders reading at or below the eighth grade level is (0.2087, 0.2507).

Simplify this expression 7p+6q-2p+q
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

a) 8x+6a

b)5q+7q

Step-by-step explanation:

a) we need to combine the like(same) terms(with same variable) together

same terms: 3x and 5x

                      2a and 4a

so

3x+5x=8x

2a+4a=6a

8x+6a

b)a) we need to combine the like(same) terms together

same terms: 7p-2p=5q

                     6q+q=7q
