Suppose a researcher is estimating the proportion of trees showing signs of disease in a local forest. They randomly sample 150

trees and find that 25 of them show signs of disease. Calculate the 95% confidence interval for p, the proportion of all trees in the forest showing signs of disease.

Answer:

0.167 - 1.96 \sqrt{\frac{0.167(1-0.167)}{150}}=0.107

0.167 + 1.96 \sqrt{\frac{0.167(1-0.167)}{150}}=0.227

And the 95% confidence interval would be given (0.107;0.227).

Step-by-step explanation:

Information given

X= 25 number of trees with signs of disease

n= 150 the sample selected

\hat p=\frac{25}{150}= 0.167 the proportion of trees with signs of disease

The confidence interval for the true proportion would be given by this formula

\hat p \pm z_{\alpha/2} \sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}

For the 95% confidence interval the significance is \alpha=1-0.95=0.05 and \alpha/2=0.025, and the critical value would be

z_{\alpha/2}=1.96

And replacing we got:

0.167 - 1.96 \sqrt{\frac{0.167(1-0.167)}{150}}=0.107

0.167 + 1.96 \sqrt{\frac{0.167(1-0.167)}{150}}=0.227

And the 95% confidence interval would be given (0.107;0.227).

First do -x then -x to 4x so you have 3x-6=9.
Add 6 to -6 to cancel it out, then add 6 to 9.
3x-6. Divide 3from x, divide 3from 6. X=2. Plz answer my question too plz
