Suppose a sample of 972972 tenth graders is drawn. Of the students sampled, 700700 read above the eighth grade level. Using the

data, construct the 85%85% confidence interval for the population proportion of tenth graders reading at or below the eighth grade level. Round your answers to three decimal places.

Answer:

The 85% confidence interval for the population proportion of tenth graders reading at or below the eighth grade level is (0.259, 0.301).

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of \pi, and a confidence level of 1-\alpha, we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

In which

z is the zscore that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}.

For this problem, we have that:

972 students, 700 read above the eight grade level. We want the confidence interver for the proportion of those who read at or below the 8th grade level. 972 - 700 = 272, so n = 972, \pi = \frac{272}{972} = 0.28

85% confidence level

So \alpha = 0.15, z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{0.15}{2} = 0.925, so Z = 1.44.

The lower limit of this interval is:

\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.28 - 1.44\sqrt{\frac{0.28*0.72}{972}} = 0.259

The upper limit of this interval is:

\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.28 + 1.44\sqrt{\frac{0.28*0.72}{972}} = 0.301

The 85% confidence interval for the population proportion of tenth graders reading at or below the eighth grade level is (0.259, 0.301).

Which shows the expression below simplified? 0.00048 - (3.4 × 10-5) A. 4.46 × 10-4 B. 3.39952 × 10-5 C. 4.46 × 10-5 D. 1.4 × 10-
MakcuM [25]

Option C

The simplified form of given expression is 4.46 \times 10^{-4}

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that we have to simplify the expression shown below

0.00048 - (3.4 \times 10^{-5})

Let us first convert 0.00048 to scientific notation

<em><u>Steps to follow:</u></em>

Move the decimal point in your number until there is only one non-zero digit to the left of the decimal point. The resulting decimal number is a.

Count how many places you moved the decimal point. This number is b.

If you moved the decimal to the left b is positive.

If you moved the decimal to the right b is negative.

If you did not need to move the decimal b = 0.

Write your scientific notation number as a x 10^b and read it as "a times 10 to the power of b."

Remove trailing 0's only if they were originally to the left of the decimal point.

0.00048 = 4.8 \times 10^{-4}

So the given expression becomes,

\rightarrow 4.8 \times 10^{-4} - 3.4 \times 10^{-5}

Let us make the exponent of second term as -4

\rightarrow 4.8 \times 10^{-4} - 0.34 \times 10^{-4}

Take 10^{-4} as common term,

\rightarrow 10^{-4} (4.8 - 0.34)

\rightarrow 4.46 \times 10^{-4}

Thus option C is correct
