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.

Mila [183]

Answer:

6.45 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

He starts 17 and 1/2 feet off the ground

Elevation relative to ground: 17 1/2

Then he increases the height by 4 and 3/4

Expression: 17 1/2 +4 3/4

Elevation relative to ground: 22 1/4

Next he decreases the elevation by 15.8 feet

Expression: 22.25-15.8

Elevation relative to ground: 6.45

The answer 6.45 feet from the ground
