Answer:

The 95% confidence interval for the percentage of all boards in this shipment that fall outside the specification is (1.8%, 6.2%).

Step-by-step explanation:

In a random sample of 300 boards the number of boards that fall outside the specification is 12.

Compute the sample proportion of boards that fall outside the specification in this sample as follows:

\hat p =\frac{12}{300}=0.04

The (1 - <em>α</em>)% confidence interval for population proportion <em>p</em> is:

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

The critical value of <em>z</em> for 95% confidence level is,

z_{\alpha/2}=z_{0.05/2}=z_{0.025}=1.96

*Use a <em>z</em>-table.

Compute the 95% confidence interval for the proportion of all boards in this shipment that fall outside the specification as follows:

CI=\hat p\pm z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}\\=0.04\pm1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.04(1-0.04)}{300}}\\=0.04\pm0.022\\=(0.018, 0.062)\\\approx(1.8\%, 6.2\%)

Thus, the 95% confidence interval for the proportion of all boards in this shipment that fall outside the specification is (1.8%, 6.2%).

R + 11 + 8r= 29<br> Show answer
____ [38]

Answer:

r=2

Step-by-step explanation:

r + 8 r + 11 = 29

( 1 + 8 ) r + 11 = 29 9 r + 11 = 29

Now we can isolate and solve for r while always keeping the equation balanced: First, subtract 11 from each side of the equation:

9 r + 11 − 11 = 29 − 11

9 r + 0 = 18

9 r = 18

Now we can divide each side of the equation by 9 to get

r : 9 over 9 = 18 under 9

1 r = 2

r = 2
