A survey of 2306 adult Americans aged 18 and older conducted by Harris Interactive found that 417 have donated blood in the past

two years.
(a) Obtain a point estimate for the population proportion of adult Americans aged 18 and older who have donated blood in the past two years.
(b) Verify that the requirements for constructing a confidence interval about p are satisfied.
(c) Construct a 90% confidence interval for the population proportion of adult Americans who have donated blood in the past two years.
(d) Interpret the interval.

Answer:

a) p = 0.1808

b) Since 341.54 ≥ 10. Therefore the requirements for constructing a confidence interval  for p is satisfied.

c) The interval is (0.1676, 0.194)

d) We are 90% confident that the population proportion of adult Americans who have donated blood in the past two years is between 0.1676 and 0.194

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

n = 2306 and x =417

a)  Obtain a point estimate for the population proportion (p) is the ratio of sample successes to sample size.

Therefore: p = x / n = 417 / 2306 = 0.1808

p = 0.1808

b) requirements for constructing a confidence interval  for p is given by:

np(1-p) ≥ 10

Therefore: np(1-p) = 2306(0.1808)(1 - 0.1808) = 341.54 ≥ 10

Since 341.54 ≥ 10. Therefore the requirements for constructing a confidence interval  for p is satisfied.

c) c = 90% = 0.9

α = 1 - 0.9 = 0.1

α / 2 = 0.1 /2 = 0.05

From the probability table, z_{\frac{\alpha}{2} } = 1.645

Margin of error (e) = z_{\frac{\alpha}{2} } \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n} } =1.645* \sqrt{\frac{0.1808(1-0.1808)}{2306} }=0.0132

The boundaries are (p - e, p + e) = (0.1808 - 0.0132, 0.1808 + 0.0132) = (0.1676, 0.194)

The interval is (0.1676, 0.194)

d) We are 90% confident that the population proportion of adult Americans who have donated blood in the past two years is between 0.1676 and 0.194

Which equation represents the line that passes through (5,8) and (9,2)
Dahasolnce [82]
ASSUMING This is a straight line so we gotta the formula for a straight line which is y=mx+b, where m represents the slope and b represents the y intercept.

First, we know this line passes through (5,8) and (9,2) we can use these for finding the equations. When we know two points, we use this formula:

y-y=m(x-x)

The first y is 8 and the second one is 2
The first x is 5 and the second one is 9

Plug it in:

8-2=m(5-9)
6=m(-4)
6/-4=m <— simplify this
m= -3/2

*NOTE: another way to find m is by calculating it (y-y)/(x-x)

Now we know m, we have to find b.
All you gotta do is plug everything you know back into the equation y=mx+b

y=mx+b
y=-3/2x+b <— now plug in a point we know(x,y)

8=-3/2(5)+b
8=-15/2+b
8-(-15/2)=b
b=8+15/2
b=16/2+15/2
b=31/2 (now you can write be as a fraction or a decimal in your equation, depending on what your teacher told you to use)
*NOTE: it is best to use fractions instead of decimals as it is more accurate sometimes.

Now we know all the variables that need to be known, we just need to rewrite the formula of the equation so the teacher can see.

m=-3/2
b=31/2

We don’t need to plug in x or y since it could have different values (since a straight line has MANY co-ordinates)

SO OUR EQUATION IS=
y=(-3/2)x+31/2

Hope you understand this, feel free to ask me anything!

How many square feet of outdoor carpet will we need for this hole?
QveST [7]
The whole ends up being 42 ft².

Area of a triangle = 1/2 * base * height. 
So that lil triangle piece is 1/2 * 2 * 3 = 1/2 * 6 = 3

Now we do the rectangle piece. Area of a rectangle = length * width
So that rectangle is 3 * 7 = 21

If you take away those two, you are left with a trapezoid. 
Area of a trapezoid is 1/2 * (base 1 + base 2) * height
Base 1 is the width of the rectangle which is 3. Base 2 is the 6. The height is the given 11 feet minus the 7 feet from the length of the rectangle which is 4. 

Plug all this in to the formula you get 1/2 * (6 + 3) * 4 = 1/2 * 9 * 4 = 1/2 * 36 = 18.

Now add all of your areas together;

21 + 3 + 18 = 24 + 18 = 42

If two cylinders are similar and the ratio between the altitude lengths is 2:3, what is the ratio of their volumes
hram777 [196]
Given:

ratio of altitude height = 2/3

Required:

ratio of volume

Solution:

Assuming that the only difference that the cylinders has is the height, we can solve for the ratio of the volume.

The volume of a cylinder is equal to πr²×height.

ratio of volume = πr²×2/πr²×3

We cancel the pi and the r² since we assume that the cylinders have the same radius.By cancelling, we are left with:

ratio of volume = 2/3
