A student is considering publishing a new magazine aimed directly at owners of Japanese automobiles. He wanted to estimate the f

raction of cars in the United States that are made in Japan. The computer output below summarizes the results of a random sample of 50 autos. z-interval for proportion With 90.00% confidence 0.29938661 < p(japan) < 0.46984416 a. Interpret the computer output. b. Explain what "90% confidence" means. c. A politician urging consumers to purchase products manufactured in the United States says, "Half of all cars in the United States are made in Japan." Does your confidence interval support or contradict this statement? Explain.

Answer:

Check Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Confidence Interval for the population mean is basically an interval of range of values where the true population mean can be found with a certain level of confidence.

Mathematically,

Confidence Interval = (Sample mean) ± (Margin of error)

With p(japan) representing the true population proportion of US automobile that are made in Japan, the computer output 90% confidence

0.29938661 < p(japan) < 0.46984416

mean that p(japan); the true population proportion of US automobile that are made in Japan lies within the range of proportions (0.29938661, 0.46984416) with an assurance level of 90%.

b) 90% confidence mean that the true proportion may or may not be in the given range, but we are 90% certain that it does.

c) The confidence interval contradicts the politician's claim that "Half of all cars in the United States are made in Japan" because the proportion in the politician's claim, (0.50), does not lie within the range of values that our confidence interval says the true population proportion can take on; (0.29938661, 0.46984416).

0.50 lies outside of the confidence interval obtained for the true population proportion of US automobiles that are made in Japan, hence, the confidence interval contradicts the politician's claim.

Question Help Of 515515 samples of seafood purchased from various kinds of food stores in different regions of a country and gen
Setler79 [48]

Answer:

(0.5848 ; 0.6552)

We are confident that about 58% to 66% of sea foods in the country are Mislabelled.

No, criticism isnt valid and generalization can be made once the assumptions for constructing a confidence interval is met.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sample size, n = 51

p = 0.62

1 - p = 1 - 0.62 = 0.38

n = 515

Confidence level = 90% = Zcritical at 90% = 1.645

Confidence interval = (p ± margin of error)

Margin of Error = Zcritical * sqrt[(p(1-p))/n]

Margin of Error = 1.645 * sqrt[(0.62(0.38))/515]

Margin of Error = 1.645 * 0.0214

Margin of Error = 0.035203

Lower boundary = (0.62 - 0.035203) = 0.584797

Upper boundary = (0.62 + 0.035203) = 0.655203

(0.5848 ; 0.6552)

We are confident that about 58% to 66% of sea foods in the country are Mislabelled.

No, criticism isnt valid and generalization can be made once the assumptions for constructing a confidence interval is met.

Can you solve this plz <br> 8x9x3x5-4+7x4-2=?
amm1812
Answer: 1102
Explain: 8 x 9 = 72
72 x 3 = 216
216 x 5 = 1080
1080 - 4 = 1076
1076 + 28 = 1104
1104 - 2 = 1102

What is the answer Factorise: 2x² +7x+6.<br><br>​
Mila [183]

Answer:

2x  + 3 )(x   + 2 )

Step-by-step explanation:

2x² + 7x + 6          

Find two numbers multiplied together to get 6

and if you multiply one by 2, the answer is 7:

Tested:                                  

6 & 1  but 6 · 2 + 1 = 13 or 6 + 2 · 1  = 8 No

2 & 3  and 2 · 2 + 3 = 7    Yes

2x² = 2x  & x

 all signs are positive

   trinomial  factoring  (            )(            )

                                     (     +     )(      +    )

    2 and 3 are the numbers to use    (2x  + 3 )(x   + 2 )   or     (2x + 2) (x + 3)

The largest number goes with the 2x.

Therefore (2x  + 3 )(x   + 2 )

Check 2x(x + 2) + 3(x + 2)

              2x² + 4x + 3x + 6

              2x² + 7x + 6         checked
