Sleep apnea: Sleep apnea is a disorder in which there are pauses in breathing during sleep. People with this condition must w up

frequently to breathe. In a sample of 432 people aged 65 and over, 108 of them had sleep apnea.
Construct a 99.5% confidence interval for the proportion of those aged 65 and over who have sleep apnea. Round the answer to three decimal places.

Answer:The required interval is (0.196, 0.030).

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

n = 432

x = 108

So, \hat{p}=\dfrac{x}{n}=\dfrac{108}{432}=0.25

at 99% level of confidence, z = 2.576

So, Margin of error would be

z\times \sqrt{\dfrac{pq}{n}}\\\\=2.576\times \sqrt{\dfrac{0.25\times 0.75}{432}}\\\\=2.576\times 0.021\\\\=0.0536

So, margin of error = 0.0536

Now, confidence interval would be

\hat{p}\pm 0.0536\\\\=(0.25-0.0536,0.25+0.0536)\\\\=(0.1964,0.3036)\\\\\approx (0.196,0.030)

Hence, the required interval is (0.196, 0.030).

Answer:

99.5% confidence interval = [0.191 , 0.309]

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that in a sample of 432 people aged 65 and over, 108 of them had sleep apnea.

The pivotal quantity for 99.5% confidence interval for the proportion of those aged 65 and over who have sleep apnea 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 = 108/432 = 0.25

            p = population proportion

            n = sample size = 432

So, 99.5% confidence interval for the population proportion, p is given by;

P(-2.813 < N(0,1) < 2.813) = 0.995 {At 0.5% level of significance z table gives

                                                          critical value of 2.813}

P(-2.813 < \frac{\hat p - p}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } } < 2.813) = 0.995

P(-2.813 * {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } < {\hat p - p} < 2.813 * {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } ) = 0.995

P(\hat p - 2.813 * {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } < p < \hat p + 2.813 * {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } ) = 0.995

99.5% confidence interval for p = [\hat p - 2.813 * {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } , \hat p + 2.813 * {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } ]

                               = [0.25 - 2.813 * {\sqrt{\frac{0.25(1-0.25)}{432} } , 0.25 + 2.813 * {\sqrt{\frac{0.25(1-0.25)}{432} } ]

                               = [0.191 , 0.309]

Therefore, 99.5% confidence interval for the proportion of those aged 65 and over who have sleep apnea is [0.191 , 0.309] .

Find the domain of the function y = 3 tan(2/3x)
Damm [24]

Answer:

{x∈R | \frac{2x}{3\pi } +\frac{1}{2}, x∉Z}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function y=3tan(2/3x)

We know that tangent is a function that's continuous within it's domain but not continuous on all real numbers

Also, the roots of y=3tan(2/3x) is 3\pi n/2 where n is an integer

Note that the domain of the function cannot be within 3\pi n/2

Therefore, {x∈R | \frac{2x}{3\pi } +\frac{1}{2}, x∉Z}

Write the slope- intercept form of the equation of the line passing through the point (3,5) and parallel to the line y=3x+6.
seropon [69]

Answer: The gradient of the line passing through is 3, thus the equation of the line becomes y=3x-4.

Step-by-step explanation: The parallel lines gradients that have similar gradients, so now we have the gradient of 3 because its similar to the other gradient. To get the equation of the line we use this equation: y=mx+c, we have to substitute the x and y to get the constant c.

5=3(3)+c

c= -4

y=3x+c

Can someone please help quick !
Oxana [17]

Answer:

Area of a triangle is base times height divided by 2. The formula for finding the area of a parallelogram is easiest to just break it down into two triangles and 1 square/rectangle. Then just find the area of all then add them together to get the final area.
