A random sample of 1003 adult Americans was asked, "Do you pretty much think televisions are a necessity or a luxury you could d

o without?" Of the 1003 adults surveyed, 521 indicated that televisions are a luxury they could do without.
Requried:
a. Obtain a point estimate for the population proportion of adult Americans who believe that televisions are a luxury they could do without.
b. Verify that the requirements for constructing a confidence interval about p are satisfied.
c. Construct and interpret a 95% confidence interval for the population proportion of adult Americans who believe that televisions are a luxury they could do without.
d. Is it possible that a supermajority (more than 60%) of adult Americans believe that television is a luxury they could do without ? Is it likely?
e. Use the results of part (c) to construct a 95% confidence interval for the population proportion of adult Americans who believe that televisions are a necessity.

Answer:

a)0.519

b)requirements for constructing a confidence interval about p are satisfied.

c)0.488, and 0.550

d)yes this is because there is no possibility

that the true proportion is not captured in the confidence interval.

e)

0.450, 0.512

Step-by-step explanation:

a)The point estimate for the population proportion of adult Americans who believe that televisions are a luxury they could do without can be calculated as

521 of that adult that indicated that televisions are a luxury they could do without/1003 adults surveyed,

p = 521/1003

= 0.519.

b)

np(1-p)=1003×(0.519)×(1-0.519)

=250.39≥10 and the sample size is less than 5% of the population

therefore, requirements for constructing a confidence interval about p are satisfied.

c) we were given 95% confidence,

Then α=(1-0.95)

= 0.05

From the Z-tables,we can get the critical value is Z , which is (0.05/2) = Z (0.025) = 1.96

confidence interval can the be calculated using the formula below

- p ± Z*√ p (1 – p)/n

=0.519 ± 1.96√0.519×(1 – 0.519)/(1003)

= 0.519 ± 1.96×0.0158

0.519 ± 0.031

= 0.488, and 0.550

d) yes this is because there is no possibility

that the true proportion is not captured in the confidence interval.

e)the sample size can be calculated as

P=x/n

=(1003-521)/1003

=0.481

But we're given 95% confidence interval

Then

α=(1-0.95)=

0.05

From the Z-tables,we can get the critical value is Z , which is (0.05/2) = Z (0.025) = 1.96

Then convidence interval=

- p ± Z*√ p (1 – p)/n

=0.481 ± 1.96√0.481×(1 – 0.481)/(1003)

0.450, 0.512

100 points t who answers first and if answered right u will get brainiest ok
Grace [21]

Answer:

side c = 150 feet of flowers

Area = 5400 feet squared

concert question:

The converse of the Pythagorean theorem can help you determine whether the roped off area is in the shape of a right triangle because you use the side lengths of each square and enter them into the equation, and if the equation is true, then it is a right triangle

Concession stand question:

The school banner can fit across the length of the concession stand

the following information is missing

The length if the sides: c is 50 feet long, b is 40 foot long, and a is 30-foot long.

The distance between the two red stars of the picture makes the hypotenuse of a right triangle, where two sides of length a (30 ft) are the legs. From Pythagorean theorem, diagonal of square A is:

diagonal² = 30² + 30²

diagonal = √1800  = 42.43 ft

which is longer than the banner.

Blueprint question:

No, diagonal of square C is 70.71ft

2nd blueprint question:

50 square root 2

Gardening group:

50.24 yards

PROBABILITY QUESTION!!! PLEASE HELP
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

The answer is 8/5  or 8 out of 5.

Step-by-step explanation:  

In order to solve this you need to first add the number of envelopes together to get the sum of how many envelopes there are, 1 + 3 + 2 + 2 = 8. Next you add the amount of blue and green envelopes together 3 + 2 = 5. The total number of envelopes is 8, and 5 out of the 8 are green or blue, therefore you will have a 8 out of 5 chance of picking one of those colors.

A circular quilt is made from 113.04 square feet of fabric. How much trim is needed to go around it’s edge?
erik [133]

Hey there!

We are looking for the circumference of the circle, which is the distance around it. We are given the area, which is the radius squared times pi.

First, we need to undo the area to find our radius.

113.04/3.14=36

We square root this to find the radius.

√36=6

Our radius is six. To find the circumference, we need to multiply the diameter by pi. The diameter is twice the radius.

6*2=12

12*3.14=37.68

Therefore, we will need 37.68 feet of trim to around the edge of the quilt.

I hope this helps!
