An automotive manufacturer wants to know the proportion of new car buyers who prefer foreign cars over domestic. Step 2 of 2 : S

uppose a sample of 1496 new car buyers is drawn. Of those sampled, 478 preferred foreign over domestic cars. Using the data, construct the 90% confidence interval for the population proportion of new car buyers who prefer foreign cars over domestic cars. Round your answers to three decimal places.

Step-by-step explanation:

From given data,

n = 1496

x = 478

Proportion estimate ( p ) = \frac{x}{n}

                                        = \frac{478 }{1496} = 0.3195 ≅ 0.31

Proportion estimate ( p ) = 0.31

∴ The proportion of new car buyers who prefer foreign cars -> 0.31

Answer:

The  confidence interval for 90% confidence would be narrower than the 95% confidence

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The  sample size is n = 41

   

For a 95% confidence the level of significance is  \alpha  = [100 - 95]\% =  0.05 and

the critical value  of  \frac{\alpha }{2}  is   Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } =Z_{\frac{0.05 }{2} }=  1.96

For a 90% confidence the level of significance is  \alpha  = [100 - 90]\% =  0.10 and

the critical value  of  \frac{\alpha }{2}  is   Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } =Z_{\frac{0.10 }{2} }=  1.645

So we see with decreasing confidence level the critical value  decrease

Now the margin of error is mathematically represented as

         E =  Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } *  \frac{s}{\sqrt{n} }

given that other values are constant and only Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } is varying we have that

         E\ \  \alpha \ \   Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} }

Hence for  reducing confidence level the margin of error will be reducing

  The  confidence interval is mathematically represented as

        \= x  - E  <  \mu <  \= x  + E

Now looking at the above formula and information that we have deduced so far we can infer that as the confidence level reduces , the critical value  reduces, the margin of error  reduces and the confidence interval becomes narrower

They will rest after they hike `2` miles. Then they will hike the remaining `1.75` miles to the lookout. The trail the hikers wi
Lyrx [107]

Answer:

1.75 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to calculate how far the hike is going up the trail. They first hike 2 miles and then another 1.75 miles after resting so...

2 + 1.75 = 3.75 miles

The trail is 3.75 miles long, the question states that the return path is 0.5 miles shorter, therefore...

3.75 - 0.5 = 3.25 miles

Leaving us with a total hiking distance of

3.75 + 3.25 = 7 miles.

Since each hiker will carry 0.25 gallons for each mile we simply need to multiply this amount by the total number of miles in the hike.

7 * 0.25 = 1.75 gallons

Finally, we can see that each hiker will carry a total of 1.75 gallons of water for the entire hike.

Can someone please explain?

<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is:

The correct option is the first option:  

y=-4x+64

<h2>Why?</h2>

To write the equation of the line in slope-interception  form we need to extract all the information that we need from the graphic.

We must remember that the slope-interception form of the lines is:

y=mx+b

Where,

y, is the function

m, is the slope of the line

x, is the variable

b, is the y-axis intercept

We can find the slope using the following formula:

m=\frac{ChangeInY}{ChangeInX}

Which is for this case:

m=\frac{64}{16}=4

As we can see from the graphic, the line is decresing, so the sign of the slope "m" will be negative, so:

m=-4

We can find the value of "b" seeing where the line intercepts the y-axis.

As we can see it intercept the y-axis at:  y=64

Then, now that we already know the value of "m" and "b", we can write the equation of the line:

y=mx+b=-4x+64\\y=-4x+64

So, the correct option is the first option:

y=-4x+64

Have a nice day!
