Suppose that 20% of the residents in a certain state support an increase in the property tax. An opinion poll will randomly samp

le 400 state residents and will then compute the proportion in the sample that support a property tax increase. How likely is the resulting sample proportion to be within 0.04 of the true proportion (i.e., between 0.16 and 0.24)? (Hint: Use the sampling distribution of the sample proportion in this case.)
A) It is certain that the resulting sample proportion will be within 0.04 of the true proportion.
B) There is roughly a 99.7% chance that the resulting sample proportion will be within 0.04 of the true proportion.
C) There is roughly a 95% chance that the resulting sample proportion will be within 0.04 of the true proportion.
D) There is roughly a 68% chance that the resulting sample proportion will be within 0.04 of the true proportion.

Answer:

C) There is roughly a 95% chance that the resulting sample proportion will be within 0.04 of the true proportion.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that 20% of the residents in a certain state support an increase in the property tax.

Sample size = 400

We want the sample proportion to be within 0.04 of the true proportion (i.e., between 0.16 and 0.24)

i.e. margin of error <0.04

Std error of sample = \sqrt{\frac{pq}{n} } =\sqrt{\frac{0.2(0.8)}{400} } \\=0.02

Critical value = margin of error/ std error = \frac{0.04}{0.02} \\=2

We know z value for 95% two tailed roughly equals 2.

Hence 95% confidence is right.

C) There is roughly a 95% chance that the resulting sample proportion will be within 0.04 of the true proportion.

Find the 100th term for the sequence. -9,-4, 1, 6, 11, .......
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

486

Step-by-step explanation:

for the 2nd term, add 5 to -9

for the 3rd, add 5 × 2 to -9

for the 4th, add 5 × 3 to -9

:

for the 100th, add 5 × (100 - 1) to -9

=> 5 × 99 + (-9)

=> 486

Write each equation in slope-intercept form<br> 2x-2y-12=0
Gnom [1K]

Answer: y=x-6

Step-by-step explanation:

2x-2y-12=0

1. Add 2y to both sides:

2x-12=2y

2. Divide both sides by 2

x-6=y

If y varies directly with x, and y = 10 when x = 4, write the direct linear variation equation
torisob [31]
The answer is c. I chose the answer c because y=5/2x(I think you forgot to put the x in the question) filled in with the numbers are true while a, b, and d aren't true if filled with 10 and 4.
