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] .

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

a = the other leg:

a^{2} =(2\sqrt{3} )^{2} -(\sqrt{3}) ^{2} =(4)(3)-3=12-3

a^{2} =9

a=\sqrt{9}

a=3

A garrison of 120 people had provisions for 30 days. If 20 people leave the garrison after 10 days, how long does the remaining
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

24 days

total units = 120* 30 = 3600

used after 10 days =  120*10 = 1200

remaining units after 10 days = 3600-1200 = 2400

2400/100 people = 24 days that the provisions will last
