Answer:

95% confidence interval for the proportion of the adults who were opposed to the death penalty is (0.668, 0.704).

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a survey asked whether respondents favored or opposed the death penalty for people convicted of murder. Software shows the results below, where X refers to the number of the respondents who were in favor.

X = 1,790

N = 2,610

$\hat p$ = Sample proportion = X/N = 0.6858

Firstly, the pivotal quantity for 95% confidence interval for the population proportion is given by;

P.Q. = $\frac{\hat p-p}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ ~ N(0,1)

where, $\hat p$ = sample proportion = 0.6858

n = sample of respondents = 2,610

p = population proportion

Here for constructing 95% confidence interval we have used One-sample z proportion statistics.

So, 95% confidence interval for the population proportion, p is ;

P(-1.96 < N(0,1) < 1.96) = 0.95 {As the critical value of z at

2.5% level of significance are -1.96 & 1.96}

P(-1.96 < $\frac{\hat p-p}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ < 1.96) = 0.95

P( $-1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ < ${\hat p-p}$ < $1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ ) = 0.95

P( $\hat p-1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} }$ < p < $\hat p+1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ ) = 0.95

95% confidence interval for p = [ $\hat p-1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} }$ , $\hat p+1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} }$ ]

= [ $0.6858-1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{0.6858(1-0.6858)}{2610} }$ , $0.6858+1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{0.6858(1-0.6858)}{2610} }$ ]

= [0.668 , 0.704]

Therefore, 95% confidence interval for the population proportion of the adults is (0.668, 0.704).

ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

1) 188.4 in³

2)306 in³

3)210in³

Step-by-step explanation:

1) r = 5in h = 12in

5 * 12 * 3.14

2) L = 3 W = 8.5 H = 12

3 * 8.5 * 12

3) $\frac{1}{2}$ ( B = 5 W = 7 H = 12)

Greeley [361]

Answer:

C. 11 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

3 + 3 + 2 + 2 = 10

1/4 + 3/4 + 1/4 = 1 1/4

1/2 -> 2/4

2/4 + 1 1/4 = 1 3/4

10 + 1 3/4 = 11 3/4

Jayden has been reading a 275275275-page book for english class. on average, he has read about 101010 pages in 151515 minutes (\

Vitek1552 [10]

75 pages.
OK. Lots of copying errors here. I'll be using 275 page book, reading 10 pages per 15 minutes, skimming 15 pages per 10 minutes, 5 hours and 50 minutes to complete the book.
To make things easier, first convert the time to just minutes. So 5 * 60 + 50 = 300 + 50 = 350 minutes.

Now let's use the variable X for the number of minutes spent skimming and (350-X) for the number of minutes spent reading.
X * 15/10 + (350 - X)*10/15 = 275

Solve for X.
X * 15/10 + (350 - X)*10/15 = 275
X * 15/10 + 350*10/15 - X*10/15 = 275
X * 15/10 - X*10/15 = 275 - 350*10/15
X(15/10 - 10/15) = 275 - 3500/15
X(45/30 - 20/30) = 825/3 - 700/3
X(25/30) = 125/3
X = 125/3 * 30/25 = 125/1 * 10/25 = 5/1 * 10/1 = 50/1 = 50
So Jayden spent 50 minutes skimming. And at the rate of 15 pages every 10 minutes, he skimmed 50*15/10 = 750/10 = 75 pages.
