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).

Answer:

1/80

Step-by-step explanation:

-8*5*xy= -1

Sub 2 for x

-8*5*2*y= -1

-80y=-1

y=1/80

(i was kinda confused because i wasn't sure if the x was a variable or a multiplication symbol but i made it a variable) yea

Why is it helpful to represent fractions and division with models? (pls make answer pretty long, thanks :)
eimsori [14]

Answer:

Whether you're teaching the meaning of fractions or fraction operations, visual models can help students connect fractions to what they already know. Division is an essential foundation for fractions. Once students can divide objects into equal groups, they can begin to grasp dividing a whole into equal parts.

Select all that apply. Which of the following are proportions? 25/10=5/2,3/4=8/10,2/8=3/12,3/4=15/20
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

\frac{25}{10} = \frac{5}{2} is in proportion.

\frac{3}{4} = \frac{8}{10} is not in proportion.

\frac{2}{8} = \frac{3}{12} is in proportion.

\frac{3}{4} = \frac{15}{20} is in proportion.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first example is \frac{25}{10} = \frac{5}{2} and it is in proportion.

This is because, you will get the same simplest fraction (\frac{5}{2}) from the fraction \frac{25}{10} by dividing its numerator and denominator by 5.

The second example is \frac{3}{4} = \frac{8}{10} and it is not in proportion.

This is because, you can not  get the simplest fraction (\frac{3}{4}) from the fraction \frac{8}{10} after simplification.

The third example is \frac{2}{8} = \frac{3}{12} and it is in proportion.

This is because, you will get the same simplest fraction (\frac{1}{4}) from the fraction \frac{2}{8} by dividing its numerator and denominator by 2 and from the fraction \frac{3}{12} by dividing its numerator and denominator by 3.

The fourth example is \frac{3}{4} = \frac{15}{20} and it is in proportion.

This is because, you will get the same simplest fraction (\frac{3}{4}) from the fraction \frac{15}{20} by dividing its numerator and denominator by 5. (Answer)

I need help with an Algebra question. The question is in the picture. Thank you <3

The domain is the set of allowed inputs, in this case t values. The smallest t value allowed is t = 0. The largest is t = 165. So that's why the domain is 0 \le t \le 165

-------------------------------

The range is 0 \le H \le 40000 since H = 0 is the smallest output of the function and H = 40,000 is the largest output. Like the domain, the range is the set of possible outputs of a function.
