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.

ArbitrLikvidat [17]
First we need to find the radius.  Using Pythagorean theorem we can find the radius which is the distance between the center and any point along the circle:

r=((5-1)^2+(2-2)^2)^(1/2)

r=(4^2-0^2)^(1/2)

r=4 units.

Circumference=2pr so our circumference is 8p units^2

Approximately 25.13 u^2

Answer:

Inequality of W would be w>7

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate the variable by dividing each side by factors that do not contain the variable. <em>Hope this helps.</em>

4w-18>10

4w>28 [Moved +18 over]

Sav [38]

Answer:

The number of tests required is 330.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find the total number of combinations of four wires.

Combinations formula:

C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

In this question:

Four wires from a set of 11.

So

C_{11,4} = \frac{11!}{4!(11-4)!} = 330

The number of tests required is 330.
