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.

Hello once again!

When you see a question like this, you need to find the equation of the straight line.

The formular used is y = mx + c
Where
m = slope
c = constant

First find the slope, since it's a straight line, any 2 coordinates can be used.

m = { \frac{y_1 - y_2}{x_1-x_2} } \\ m= { \frac{16 - (- 8)}{-2 - 2} } \\ m= { \frac{24}{-4} } \\ m = -6

Now we need to substitude in the slope, and one of the coordinate you used to find the slope, to the formular to find the constant.

In this case i'm using the coordinate
(-2, 16)

y = mx + c
16 = -6(-2) + c
16 = 12 + c
c = 4

∴ The equation of the line is y = -6x + 4

The next step is to simply substitude in the x = 8 to the equation to find y.

y = -6(8) + 4
y = -48 + 4
y = -44

1. Determine if the set of ordered pairs is a relation or a function.
kykrilka [37]

Answer:

This is just a relation.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is easy to see if a set of ordered pairs is a relation or a relation that is a function.

If all the points are distinct, then you just have to look at the x-coordinates.

If all the x-coordinates are different, then it is a function. Otherwise, it is a just a relation.

So this cannot be a function because there is at least two different points that have x=0.

Help!!!<br> Slove for x.<br> A.11<br> B.9<br> C.13<br> D.14
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The secants form a proportion where the full length of the secant is the denominator of a fraction where the numerator is the external part of the secant.

7/(x + 7) = 6/(15 + 6)         Cross Multiply after combining

7 / (x + 7) = 6/(21)                

6 * (x + 7) = 7 * 21             Remove the brackets

6x + 42 = 147                   Subtract 42

6x = 147 - 42

6x = 105                           Divide by 6

x = 17.5

I think I've done this correctly. If you find an error, please let me know and I'll open it for editing.
