A survey asks, "If the husband in a family wants children, but the wife decides that she does not want any children, is it all r

ight for the wife to refuse to have children?" Of 705 subjects, 581 said yes. a. Find a 99% confidence interval for the population proportion who would say yes. (Use ascending order. Round to four decimal places as needed.) Can you conclude that the population proportion exceeds 75%? Why? in 2 A. No, we cannot conclude that the population proportion exceeds 75%, because 75% is below the lowest believable value of the confidence interval B. Yes, we can conclude that the population proportion exceeds 75% because 75% is above the lowest believable value of the confidence interval C. No, we cannot conclude that the population proportion exceeds 75% because 75% is above the lowest believable value of the confidence interval D. Yes, we can conclude that the population proportion exceeds 75% because 75% is below the lowest believable value of the confidence interval. b. Without doing any calculations, explain whether the interval in (a) would be wider or narrower than a 95% confidence interval for the population proportion who would say yes. The 99% confidence interval would be wider than a 95% confidence interval. The 99% confidence interval would be narrower than a 95% confidence interval.

Answer:

a. The 99% confidence interval for the population proportion is (0.7872, 0.8610).

D. Yes, we can conclude that the population proportion exceeds 75% because 75% is below the lowest believable value of the confidence interval.

b. The 99% confidence interval would be wider than a 95% confidence interval.

As the confidence level increases, the width interval increases, as we are requiring more confidence with the same information (there is no new sample). This means that, to be more confident, the only way is to include more values in the interval.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to calculate a 99% confidence interval for the proportion.

The sample proportion is p=0.8241.

p=X/n=581/705=0.8241

The standard error of the proportion is:

\sigma_p=\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{0.8241*0.1759}{705}}\\\\\\ \sigma_p=\sqrt{0.000206}=0.0143

The critical z-value for a 99% confidence interval is z=2.5758.

The margin of error (MOE) can be calculated as:

MOE=z\cdot \sigma_p=2.5758 \cdot 0.0143=0.0369

Then, the lower and upper bounds of the confidence interval are:

LL=p-z \cdot \sigma_p = 0.8241-0.0369=0.7872\\\\UL=p+z \cdot \sigma_p = 0.8241+0.0369=0.8610

The 99% confidence interval for the population proportion is (0.7872, 0.8610).

We can conclude that there is, at least, 99% chances that the true proportion is higher than 0.7872. So there is at least 99% chances that the population proportion is higher than 0.75.

If one foot is the same length as 12 inches, how many inches equal 3.5 feet? (Only input whole numbers.)
lesantik [10]
1ft=12in
1ft/12in=1

3.5ft=?in
1ft:12in=3.5ft:?in
1ft/12in=3.5ft/?in
times both sides by 12?in
1?=42in

answer is 42 in

or you could just do
3.5 times 12=42 inches

The number of zeroes at the end of the cube root of the number1000
ivolga24 [154]

Hey there!

The answer to your question is one zero.

To solve this, we can first start by finding the cube root.

\sqrt[3]{1000}

The answer to this is 10, because 10 * 10 * 10 = 1000

Now, we can see that there is one zero at the end of 10.

Hope it helps and have a great day/night! Stay safe!
