6. During an independent research, 2500 randomly selected people were interviewed whether they visit their dentist for a regular

dental checkup or not. Only 2000 gave a positive answer. Calculate a 95% two-sided confidence interval on the proportion of people who regularly have a dental checkup.

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)

The left and right page numbers of an open book are two consecutive integers whose sum is 385. Find these page numbers.
Alona [7]
Consecutive integers are integers that follow one another. For example, 2,3,4,5,etc.... are consecutive integers

So algebraically, consecutive integers follow the form x, x+1, x+2, etc...

Since the sum of two consecutive integers is 239, this means:

x%2Bx%2B1=239

2x%2B1=239 Combine like terms on the left side

2x=239-1Subtract 1 from both sides

2x=238 Combine like terms on the right side

x=%28238%29%2F%282%29 Divide both sides by 2 to isolate x

x=119 Divide

So our first number is x=119

So to find the next number, simply add 1 to it to get 119%2B1=120

Answer: So our two page numbers are 119 and 120

Solve by completing the square x^2-6x-4=0
Vesna [10]

Answer:

x = 3 ± \sqrt{13}

Step-by-step explanation:

x² - 6x - 4 = 0 ( add 4 to both sides )

x² - 6x = 4

To complete the square

add ( half the coefficient of the x- term)² to both sides

x² + 2(- 3)x + 9 = 4 + 9

(x - 3)² = 13 ( take square root of both sides )

x - 3 = ± \sqrt{13} ( add 3 to both sides )

x = 3 ± \sqrt{13}

What is greater 3 x 1/10 plus 4 x 1/100 plus 8x 1/1000 greater than one and two tenths
Elena L [17]
So, first let's change these numbers into decimal form:
3*0.1 + 4*0.01 + 8*0.001 ? 1.2
Multiply:
0.3 + 0.04 + 0.008 ? 1.2
0.348 < 1.2
One and two tenths is larger.
Hopefully this is what you're asking, as this question is unclear
