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).

PLEASE HELP!! NEED ASAP 100 POINTS!!
Leto [7]

Answer:

See Below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that the maximum account balance Ebony had was $400.

We can see that her bank balance first reached $400 on Day 4 and continued until Day 8.

Part A)

Since the maximum amount is $400, it is whenever the graph reaches (and stays) at its maximum, or the highest points on the graph.

We can see that at around Day 4, she first reached her maximum of $400 since that is the highest point of the graph.

And this continues until approximately Day 8.

Therefore, Ebony first reached $400 on Day 4 and stayed at $400 until Day 8.

Part B)

Refer above. The explanation is the same.

Part C)

Jade is says that the amount Ebony is depositing per day from Days 0 to 4 is the same as the amount Ebony is withdrawing per day from Days 8 to 12.

We also know that Day 12 is when Ebony’s account first reached 0.

Essentially, Jade is saying that the <em>slope</em> of the line from Days 0 to 4 is <em>the same</em> as the <em>slope</em> of the line from Days 8 to 12.

Ignoring the negative, we can immediately see that this is not true without calculating.

This is because the slope of the line from Days 8 to 12 is much steeper than than slope of the line from Days 0 to 4.

So, the two slopes are not equal since they are not the same steepness.

Therefore, this means that from Days 8 to 12, Ebony withdrew money at a <em>faster rate per day</em> than she had been depositing from Days 0 to 4.

Hence, Jade’s statement cannot be true.

Find the sum. 2x^2 +26x+ 156=0
Mila [183]

Answer:

-13

Step-by-step explanation:

2x²+26x+156=0

x²+13x+78=0

x²+13x=-78

x²+13x+169/4=-143/4

(x+13/2)²=-143/4

x+13/2=(i√143)/2 or x+13/2=-(i√143)/2

x=(i√143)/2-13/2 or x=-(i√143)/2-13/2

(i√143)/2-13/2+(-(i√143)/2)-13/2=(i√143-13-i√143-13)/2=-26/2=-13

Which equation is shown in the graph?<br><br> Best answer gets brainliest!
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

C) y=x^2+x-6

Step-by-step explanation:

Looking at the first picture, the equation is way too high, thus A is incorrect

Looking at the second picture, the equation is also too high, thus B is incorrect

Looking at the third picture, the equation is at the graph, thus C is correct

Looking at the fourth picture, the equation is more at the right than at the left thus the equation is incorrect

Hope this helps!
