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)

Where would (0.5,2) be potted ? Please answer this !!
NISA [10]

 (0.5,2)

0.5 is x value

2 is y value

         l

         l

---------------

        l

        l

x value is on dashed line (0.5)

y value is on more separated line going up and down. (2)

To plot 0.5, you can put it as an equation. 0.5= 1/2. So to plot it, 0.5 is half of 1. So plot it as in between the 1 and 0.

To plot 2 go up to the two on the y axis and then go over 0.5 and plot a point.

That is you're plotted point for (0.5,2)


Hope it helps!

Which expression shows how 6 • 45 can be rewritten using the distributive property?
tatuchka [14]
6*45=270 is the first step you should do to get the answer you are looking for. The next thing I would do is go to all the answers to see which one comes out the same way. The first one comes to be 246, the next one is 54, the next is 270 and the last one is 220. 6*40+6*5 is the correct answer.

What is the answer to x in this equation K(x)=3/2x-1;k(x)=-4
I am Lyosha [343]

Answer :

-1/3

Explaination :

K(x) = 3/2x - 1

K(x) = -4

K(-4) = 3 / 2(-4) - 1

K = 3 / -8 - 1

K = 3 / -9

K =

-  \frac {1}{3}

Hal has a steel barrel with a diameter of 6 feet that can be filled to a depth of 4.6 feet with oil. What is the volume of the b
scoray [572]

Answer:

129.996 cubic feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that the barrel is a perfect cylinder, we can use the formula to find the volume:

\pi(r)^2(h)

First, we have to find the radius, which is:

D = 2r

So the radius is 3 feet, since it is half of the diameter. Then, we plug in the values.

3.14(3)^2(4.6)

Now, we solve. Exponents are first...

3.14(9)(4.6)

Now multiply left to right.

28.26(4.6)

129.996 cubic feet

Therefore, the barrel can hold 129.996 cubic feet of oil. Hope this helps you!
