Answer:

0.424 - 2.58\sqrt{\frac{0.424(1-0.424)}{85}}=0.286

0.424 + 2.58\sqrt{\frac{0.424(1-0.424)}{85}}=0.562

The 99% confidence interval would be given by (0.286;0.562)

Step-by-step explanation:

Information given:

X= 36 represent the families owned at least one DVD player

n= 85 represent the total number of families

\hat p=\frac{36}{85}= 0.424 represent the estimated proportion of families owned at least one DVD player

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 99% of confidence, our significance level would be given by \alpha=1-0.99=0.01 and \alpha/2 =0.05. And the critical value would be given by:

z_{\alpha/2}=-2.58, z_{1-\alpha/2}=2.58

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}}

If we replace the values obtained we got:

0.424 - 2.58\sqrt{\frac{0.424(1-0.424)}{85}}=0.286

0.424 + 2.58\sqrt{\frac{0.424(1-0.424)}{85}}=0.562

The 99% confidence interval would be given by (0.286;0.562)

Ten times the difference of a number x and 8
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

Expression will be 10(x - 6).

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the given number is x.

Difference of this number and 6 will be represented by

(x - 6)

Then ten times the difference of this number and 6 will be represented by

10(x - 6)

Therefore, the statement " ten times the difference of a number and six " will be represented  by the expression 10(x - 6)

Gina is a certain age (g). Gina's older sister is twice Gina's age. Gina's brother is half Gina's age. The sum of their ages is
aliina [53]

Answer:

Gina is 12 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

First,  we will have to write these statements mathematically and then solve.

Let Gina's age be x, let Gina's brother's age be y and let Gina's sister's age be z.

The second statement"Gina's older sister is twice Gina's age" can be mathematically written as: z =2 x ---------------------------(1)

The next statement "Gina's brother is half Gina's age" can be mathematically written as y = \frac{x}{2} ---------------------------------------(2)

Then the next statement "the sum of their ages is 42" can be mathematically written as: x + y + z = 42 ----------------------------(3)

We can now proceed to solve;

Substitute equation (1) and equation(2) into equation (3)

x + y + z = 42

x +  \frac{x}{2} + 2x = 42

Multiply through by 2

2x + x + 4x = 84

7x = 84

Divide both-side of the equation by 7

\frac{7x}{7} = \frac{84}{7}

x = 12

Therefore, Gina is 12 years old
