In early 2012, the Pew Internet and American Life Project asked a random sample of U.S. adults, "Do you ever ... use Twitter or

another service to share updates about yourself or to see updates about others?" According to Pew, the resulting 95% confidence interval is (0.123, 0.177). Does this interval provide convincing evidence that the actual proportion of U.S. adults who would say they use Twitter differs from 0.16? Justify your answer.

Answer:

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:  

\hat p \pm z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{n}}

And the confidence interval is given by:

(0.123, 0.177)

And for this case the interval contains the value 0.16, so then we can conclude at 5% of significance that the true proportion is not different from 0.16

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".  

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.  

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".  

The population proportion have the following distribution

p \sim N(p,\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}})

Solution to the problem

In order to find the critical value we need to take in count that we are finding the interval for a proportion, so on this case we need to use the z distribution. Since our interval is at 95% of confidence, our significance level would be given by \alpha=1-0.95=0.05 and \alpha/2 =0.025. And the critical value would be given by:

z_{\alpha/2}=-1.96, z_{1-\alpha/2}=1.96

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:  

\hat p \pm z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{n}}

And the confidence interval is given by:

(0.123, 0.177)

And for this case the interval contains the value 0.16, so then we can conclude at 5% of significance that the true proportion is not different from 0.16

What's the difference between adding two rational number and get a negative number
nikklg [1K]

Comparing two rational numbers

Use fraction form:

 

Make the denominators the same and compare the numerators. The number with the smaller numerator is smaller. For example, to compare a/b and c/d, we rewrite

 

a/b=a*d/b*d

  = ad/bd and c/d = c*b/d*b=bc/bd

 

Now just compare the numerators : "ad" and "bc"

 

Multiplying and Dividing Rational Numbers 

 

Multiplying and dividing rational numbers in decimal form is the same as multiplying and dividing integers. The decimal place of the product is the same of all decimals of all multiplied numbers. For example, 3.12*2.4.

 

Solution => 3.12*2.4=7.488

 

When multiplying or dividing rational numbers in fractional form, you multiply the numerators (N*N) and then multiply the denominators (D*D).

 

When dividing rational numbers in fractional form, first take the reciprocal of the divisor, and then multiply the numerators and the denominators.

 

Example => 5/9 divided by 2/7 .

 

Solution => 5/9 * 7/2 =  35/18

 

 

Adding Rational numbers

 

Adding and Subtracting rational numbers in decimal form is the same as adding and subtracting integers.

 

Example => -3.54+2.79=-0.75

 

When adding or subtracting rational numbers in fractional form, first make the denominator equal, and then add or subtract the numerators.

Answer:

<h3>           m∠BAC = 80° </h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

m∠BCD = 145°  ⇒  m∠BCA = 180° - 145° = 35°

From ΔABC:

                    m∠ABC + m∠BCA + m∠BAC = 180°

                         65° +  35° + m∠BAC = 180°

                                  m∠BAC = 180° -  100°

                                   m∠BAC = 80°
