Edwin conducted a survey to find the percentage of people in an area who smoked regularly. He defined the label "smoking regular

ly" for males smoking 30 or more cigarettes in a day and for females smoking 20 or more. Out of 635 persons who took part in the survey, 71 are labeled as people who smoke regularly. What is the 90% confidence interval for this population proportion? Answer choices are rounded to the hundredths place.

Answer:

The confidence interval for this proportion = (0.09, 0.13)

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence Interval for Proportion =

p ± z ×√p(1 - p/n)

p = proportion = x /n

x = 71

n = 635

p = 71/635

p = 0.1118110236

p ≈ 0.1118

z score for 90% confidence interval = 1.645

Confidence Interval =

0.1118 ± 1.645 × √0.1118 (1 - 0.1118)/635

0.1118 ± 1.645 × √0.09930076/635

0.1118 ± 1.645 × √0.0001563791

0.1118 ± 1.645 × 0.0125051629

0.1118 ± 0.020570993

Confidence Interval =

0.1118 - 0.020570993

= 0.091229007

Approximately to the nearest hundredth ≈ 0.09

0.1118 + 0.020570993

= 0.132370993

Approximately to the nearest hundredth = 0.13

Therefore, the confidence interval for this proportion = (0.09, 0.13)

Answer to problem 1 is (-4, 4)

Answer to problem 3 is (2, 2)

=====================================

Explanation:

When the center of a dilation is the origin (0,0), we simply multiply the scale factor by each coordinate.

For problem 1, point U is located at (-2,2). Multiply each coordinate by the scale factor 2 (since it says "dilation of 2") to get (-4,4)

For problem 3, we multiply 0.5 by each coordinate of the point U(4, 4) getting to U ' (2,2)

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

The dilation rule used here is $(x,y) \to (kx, ky)$ where k is the scale factor or dilation factor. This rule only applies if the center of dilation is (0,0). For other centers, you'll need to apply a translation first, dilate, then translate back again.

If k > 1, then the point moves further away from the origin.

If 0 < k < 1, then the point moves closer to the origin.

How do find the domain and range of <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B%5Csqrt%7Bx-8%7D%7D" id="TexFormula1" tit

Kisachek [45]

$\sqrt{x-8}$ is undefined if the argument $x-8$ is negative, so you first need to require that

$x-8\ge0\implies x\ge8$

We're not done yet, though, because $\dfrac1{\sqrt{x-8}}$ still doesn't exist when $x=8$ , so we remove this from the domain and we're left with $x>8$ , or in interval notation, $(8,\infty)$

To find the range, consider the limits of the function as you approach either endpoint of the domain.

$\displaystyle\lim_{x\to8^+}\frac1{\sqrt{x-8}}=+\infty$
$\displaystyle\lim_{x\to\infty}\frac1{\sqrt{x-8}}=0$

Since $\dfrac1{\sqrt{x-8}}$ is positive everywhere, the range is $(0,\infty)$
