Answer:

$P(A or B)= P(A \cup B) = 0.9$

Step-by-step explanation:

given , $P(A)=0.7$ $P(B)=0.2$

$P(A or B) = P(A \cup B) =0$

since it is mutually exclusive event , $P(A and B)= P(A \cap B) =P(A?B) = 0$

$P(A \cup B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A\cap B)$

$P(A \cup B) = 0.7 + 0.2 - 0$

$P(A \cup B) = 0.9$

Answer:

a) Statistic.

b) The population proportion is expected to be between 0.29 and 0.31 with a 94% degree of confidence.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The proportion of 30% is a statistic, as it is a value that summarizes data only from the sample taken in the study from USA Today. Other samples may yield different proportions.

b) We can use the statistic to estimate a confidence interval for the parameter of the population.

The standard error for the proportion is calculated as:

$\sigma_p=\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{N}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{0.3\cdot 0.7}{7335}}=\sqrt{2.83\cdot10^5}= 0.00535$

The margin of error is 0.01. We can use this value to determine the level of confidence that represents.

The formula for the margin of error is:

$E=z\cdot \sigma_p=0.01\\\\z\cdot 0.0535=0.01\\\\z=1.87$

This z-value, according to the the standard normal distribution, corresponds to a confidence interval of 94%.

The interval for this margin of error is:

$p-E\leq \pi \leq p+E\\\\0.30-0.01\leq \pi \leq 0.30+0.01\\\\0.29\leq \pi \leq 0.31$

Then, we can conclude that the population proportion is expected to be between 0.29 and 0.31 with a 94% degree of confidence.

Zolol [24]

Answer:

The perimeter of the object is $23.\overline3$ feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of an object is solved with the formula:

$\bullet \ \ \ 2l + 2w = p$ ,

where p is the perimeter of the object, l is the length of the object, and w is the width of the object.

Therefore, we want to define the values we have been given:

7 feet - length (l )
4 2/3 feet - width (w )

We can use these and supply them into the equation to solve for p.

$\displaystyle 2(7) + 2(4\frac{2}{3})=p\\\\14 + \frac{20}{3} = p\\\\p = \frac{70}{3}$

Therefore, the perimeter of the object is $\displaystyle \frac{70}{3}$ or $23.\overline{3}$ feet.
