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

A recent poll of 120 randomly selected adults who frequent the local​ farmer's market found that 54 have purchased reusable clot
Olenka [21]

Answer:

95% Confidence interval:  (0.361,0.539)    

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Sample size, n = 120

Number of farmers who reusable cloth bags, x = 54

\hat{p} = \dfrac{x}{n} = \dfrac{54}{120} = 0.45

95% Confidence interval:

\hat{p}\pm z_{stat}\sqrt{\dfrac{\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})}{n}}

z_{critical}\text{ at}~\alpha_{0.05} = \pm 1.96

Putting the values, we get:

0.45\pm 1.96(\sqrt{\dfrac{0.45(1-0.45)}{120}}) = 0.45\pm 0.089\\\\=(0.361,0.539)

is the required 95% confidence interval for the proportion of adults who have purchased reusable cloth​ bags.

HURRY UP PLEASE !!
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

<h2>The x-interecepts are 5.6 and -1.4, approximately.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is

5x^{2} -21x=39

Where a=5, b=-21 and c=39, let's use the quadratic formula

x_{1,2}=\frac{-b(+-)\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac } }{2a} =\frac{-(-21) (+-)\sqrt{(-21)^{2} -4(5)(-39)} }{2(5)}\\ x_{1,2}=\frac{21(+-)\sqrt{441+780} }{10}=\frac{21(+-35)}{10}\\x_{1}=\frac{21+35}{10}=\frac{56}{10} \approx 5.6\\  x_{2}=\frac{21-35}{10}=\frac{-14}{10} \approx -1.4

Therefore, the x-interecepts are 5.6 and -1.4, approximately.
