Answer:

A 95​% confidence interval for the proportion of students who eat cauliflower on​ Jane's campus is [0.012, 0.270].

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Jane wants to estimate the proportion of students on her campus who eat cauliflower. After surveying 24 ​students, she finds 2 who eat cauliflower.

Firstly, the pivotal quantity for finding the confidence interval for the population proportion 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 of students who eat cauliflower

           n = sample of students

           p = population proportion of students who eat cauliflower

<em>Here for constructing a 95% confidence interval we have used a One-sample z-test for proportions.</em>

<u>So, 95% confidence interval for the population proportion, p is ;</u>

P(-1.96 < N(0,1) < 1.96) = 0.95  {As the critical value of z at 2.5% level

                                                   of significance are -1.96 & 1.96}  

P(-1.96 < \frac{\hat p-p}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } } < 1.96) = 0.95

P( -1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } } < {\hat p-p} < 1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } } ) = 0.95

P( \hat p-1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } } < p < \hat p+1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } } ) = 0.95

Now, in Agresti and​ Coull's method; the sample size and the sample proportion is calculated as;

n = n + Z^{2}__(\frac{_\alpha}{2})

n = 24 + 1.96^{2} = 27.842

\hat p = \frac{x+\frac{Z^{2}__(\frac{\alpha}{2}_)  }{2} }{n} = \hat p = \frac{2+\frac{1.96^{2}   }{2} }{27.842} = 0.141

<u>95% confidence interval for p</u> = [ \hat p-1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } } , \hat p+1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } } ]

 = [ 0.141 -1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{0.141(1-0.141)}{27.842} } } , 0.141 +1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{0.141(1-0.141)}{27.842} } } ]

 = [0.012, 0.270]

Therefore, a 95​% confidence interval for the proportion of students who eat cauliflower on​ Jane's campus [0.012, 0.270].

The interpretation of the above confidence interval is that we are 95​% confident that the proportion of students who eat cauliflower on​ Jane's campus is between 0.012 and 0.270.

Cameron buys 2.45 pounds of apples and 1.65 pounds of pears. Apples and pears each cost c dollars per pound. If the total cost a
Leto [7]

Answer:

2.45c + 1.65c = 4.12 + 0.75

Step-by-step explanation:

To write an equation to find the value for c, we need to declare what c is first.

c = price of fruit

2.45c + 1.65c = 4.12 + 0.75

Now we multiplied c to 2.45 and 1.65 and added them together, because whatever the value of c is will give us the equivalence of the sum of 4.12 + 0.75.

Now to check if the equation is right, let's solve for c.

2.45c + 1.65c = 4.12 + 0.75

4.1c = 4.87

Now to get the value of c, we divide both sides of the equation by 4.1.

\dfrac{4.1c}{4.1}=\dfrac{4.87}{4.1}

c = 1.19

Now let's substitute the value of c in the equation to see if we got it right.

2.45(1.19) + 1.65(1.19) = 4.12 + 0.75

2.92 + 1.96 = 4.87

4.87 = 4.87

Therefore concluding that the value of c is 1.19.

The Graph of a function g is shown below. Find the following: g(10)
Yanka [14]

Answer: the graph is not shown, but I'll try to explain how hypothetically, you would be able to graph g(10). If you are given something like an image of the graph, find slope and y-intercept first. The y-intercept is the point (0, #), and is on the y-axis. After finding what g(x) = mx + b <- slope intercept form is, substitute 10 for x, then solve.
