Answer:

0.80+/- 0.016

(0.784, 0.816)

The 95% confidence interval on the proportion of people who regularly have a dental checkup is = (0.784, 0.816)

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence interval can be defined as a range of values so defined that there is a specified probability that the value of a parameter lies within it.

The confidence interval of a statistical data can be written as.

p+/-z√(p(1-p)/n)

Given that;

Proportion p = 2000/2500 = 0.80

Number of samples n = 2500

Confidence interval = 95%

z-value(at 95% confidence) = 1.96

Substituting the values we have;

0.80+/- 1.96√(0.80(1-0.80)/2500)

0.80+/- 1.96√(0.000064)

0.80+/- 0.01568

0.80+/- 0.016

(0.784, 0.816)

The 95% confidence interval on the proportion of people who regularly have a dental checkup is = (0.784, 0.816)

A 34-foot pole casts a 30-foot shadow. At the same time, a nearby tree casts a 24-foot shadow. How tall is the tree?
artcher [175]

Answer:

27.2 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's set up a ratio that represents the problem:

Object's Height (ft) : Shadow (ft)

Substitute with the dimensions of the 34 foot pole and its 30 foot shadow.

34 : 30

Find the unit rate:

The unit rate is when one number in a ratio is 1.

Let's make the Shadow equal to one by dividing by 30 on both sides.

Object's Height (ft) : Shadow (ft)

34 : 30

/30  /30

1.13 : 1

Now, let's multiply by 24 on both sides to find the height of the tree.

Multiply:

Object's Height (ft) : Shadow (ft)

1.13 : 1

x24  x24

27.2 : 24

Therefore, the tree is 27.2 feet tall.

the area of a gymnasium floor is 264 square yard. the floor is 11 yards wide . how long is the floor?
Alekssandra [29.7K]
Area = Length x Width (A = L x W)

A = 264, W = 11, L = ?

Rewrite the equation to find L. In order to reverse multiplication, you must divide.

L = A / W

L = 264 / 11 = 24 yards

9+(6w+3w) how do I do this it is to hardThe expression (9+6w)+3w
Mama L [17]

Answer: 9w+9

Step-by-step explanation:

First combine like terms: 6w+3w

You can't combine 9 and 9w so that would be your answer.

Then if it calls for it, use the commutitive property to move 9w before 9.

Hope this helps!

A cleaner recommends mixing 1½ cup of cleaner for every 12 cups of water. What is the ratio of cleaner to water in simplest form
Pavlova-9 [17]
1.5 cleaner / 12 cups of water
or
1.5 cleaner : 12 cups of water
to reduce this ratio of 1.5:12, we need to divide both by the same number

1.5 divided by 1.5 is 1
12 divided by 1.5 is 8

So the ratio of cleaner to water is 1:8 in its simplest form or 1 part cleaner to 8 parts water.

Hope this helps!!  :)
