Answer:

0.5 - 1.96 \sqrt{\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{500}}=0.456  

0.5 + 1.96 \sqrt{\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{500}}=0.544  

And the 95% confidence interval would be given (0.456;0.544).  

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts  

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".  

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.  

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".  

Solution to the problem

The confidence interval for a proportion is given by this formula  

\hat p \pm z_{\alpha/2} \sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}  

For the 95% confidence interval the value of \alpha=1-0.95=0.05 and \alpha/2=0.025, with that value we can find the quantile required for the interval in the normal standard distribution.  

z_{\alpha/2}=1.96  

The estimated proportion is :

\hat p =\frac{x}{n}=\frac{250}{500}=0.5

And replacing into the confidence interval formula we got:  

0.5 - 1.96 \sqrt{\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{500}}=0.456  

0.5 + 1.96 \sqrt{\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{500}}=0.544  

And the 95% confidence interval would be given (0.456;0.544).

Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

400 people

Step-by-step explanation:

15 = 12

500 = x

Cross multiply

15x = 12 × 500

Divide both sides by 15

\frac{15x}{15} = \frac{12 * 500}{15}  (* means multiplication if you do not know)

\frac{12 * 500}{15} = 100 × 4= 400 people
