A study is conducted to determine how long a person will wait on hold on a telephone call before hanging up. A sample of 1000 pe

ople found that 580 hung up the phone in the first minute of waiting. It is of interest to estimate a range of plausible values for the true proportion of people that will not wait more than one minute on hold. Round all answers to three decimal places.

Answer:

The estimate of a range of plausible values for the true proportion of people that will not wait more than one minute on hold at a 95% confidence level is

Confidence interval = (549.404, 610.596)

Step-by-step explanation:

We will be finding the confidence interval at 95% confidence level.

The proportion of people that hang up the phone in the first minute of waiting

= P = (580/1000) = 0.58

We can then calculate the standard deviation of the distribution of sample means = σₓ = √[np(1-p)]

where n = sample size = 1000

σₓ = √[np(1-p)] = √[1000×0.58×0.42] = 15.61

Confidence interval = (Sample mean) ± (Margin of error)

Sample mean = 580

Margin of Error = (critical value) × (standard deviation of the distribution of sample means)

Critical value = 1.960

Even though we do not have information on the population mean and standard deviation, we can use the z-distribution's z-score for 95% confidence interval instead of the t-distribution's t-score since the sample size is 1000.

Margin of error = 1.960 × 15.61 = 30.596

Confidence interval = (Sample mean) ± (Margin of error)

Confidence interval = 580 ± 30.596

Confidence interval = (549.404, 610.596)

Hope this Helps!!!

The measure of two angles are (3x+20) and (5x - 2). What is the value of x if the
adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

angle 1 plus angle 2 equals 90 because they are complementary. combining like terms gives you 8x + 18 = 90. then you get 8x = 72, which means that x equals 9

Dennis uses a soft-sided foot locker to store his sports equipment in his bedroom. The foot locker is 38 inches long and 12 inch
horsena [70]

Answer:

So.. I believe the answer is 17

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to get your answer, you would first multiply 38*12 which is 456

Then you would get that number (456) and divide it by 7,752

So 7,752/456 is 17

The labeled angle is what's called an inscribed angle. There's a theorem (fittingly called the inscribed angle theorem) that says the measure of this angle is half the measure of the circular arc that it subtends.

In this case, the angle is subtended by an arc measuring 180°. So

(4x + 6)° = 1/2 • 180°

4x + 6 = 90

4x = 84

x = 21

Chen buys 4 tickets to a soccer game. The total cost before taxes is $80. Which equation would you use to determine the price, p
Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

A. 4p=80

Step-by-step explanation:

Total Cost of 4 tickets=$80

Price=p

Quantity=4

Total cost=price×quantity

80=p×4

80=4p

80=4p is the equation that can be used to determine price

From the equation

80=4p

Divide both sides by 4

80/4=4p/4

20=p

Price is $20 per ticket
