The administration at Pierce College conducted a survey to determine the proportion of students who ride a bike to campus. Of th

e 125 students surveyed 6 ride a bike to campus. Which of the following is a reason the administration should not calculate a confidence interval to estimate the proportion of all students who ride a bike to campus? Check all that apply.
A. The sample needs to be random but we don’t know if it is.

B. The actual count of bike riders is too small.

C. The actual count of those who do not ride a bike to campus is too small.

D. n(p-hat) is not greater than 10.

E. n(1 minus p-hat) is not greater than 10.

Answer:

The correct option is (D).

Step-by-step explanation:

To construct the (1 - <em>α</em>)% confidence interval for population proportion the distribution of proportions must be approximated by the normal distribution.

A Normal approximation to binomial can be applied to approximate the distribution of proportion <em>p</em>, if the following conditions are satisfied:

  • n\hat p \geq 10
  • n ( 1 - \hat p) \geq 10

In this case <em>p</em> is defined as the proportions of students who ride a bike to campus.

A sample of <em>n</em> = 125 students are selected. Of these 125 students <em>X</em> = 6 ride a bike to campus.

Compute the sample proportion as follows:

\hat p=\frac{X}{n}=\frac{6}{125}=0.048

Check whether the conditions of Normal approximation are satisfied:

n\hat p =125\times 0.048=610

Since n\hat p, the Normal approximation to Binomial cannot be applied.

Thus, the confidence interval cannot be used to estimate the proportion of all students who ride a bike to campus.

Thus, the correct option is (D).

The equation of a line is -6x-2y=-18<br> What is the x-intercept of the line?
Fed [463]

 -6x - 2y = -18

-6x - 2(0) = -18

   -6x - 0 = -18

        -6x = -18

         -6      -6

           x = 3

hope this helps :)

Four times the largest of three consecutive odd integers is 36 more than the sum of the other
erica [24]

If you know how to solve word problems involving the sum of consecutive even integers, you should be able to easily solve word problems that involve the sum of consecutive odd integers. The key is to have a good grasp of what odd integers are and how consecutive odd integers can be represented.

Odd Integers

If you recall, an even integer is always 22 times a number. Thus, the general form of an even number is n=2kn=2k, where kk is an integer.

So what does it mean when we say that an integer is odd? Well, it means that it’s one less or one more than an even number. In other words, odd integers are one unit less or one unit more of an even number.

Therefore, the general form of an odd integer can be expressed as nn is n=2k-1n=2k−1 or n=2k+1n=2k+1, where kk is an integer.

Observe that if you’re given an even integer, that even integer is always in between two odd integers. For instance, the even integer 44 is between 33 and 55.

Answer: x = 12 and y = -8

Explanation:
x + y = 4
4x + 3y = 24
———————
-3(x + y = 4)
4x + 3y = 24
———————-
-3x - 3y = -12
4x + 3y = 24
———————
x = 12

If x = 12
x + y = 4
12 + y = 4
y = -8
