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

Find possible zeroes<br> f(x)=3x^6+4x^3-2x^2+4
larisa [96]

The possible zeros of f(x) = 3x^6 + 4x^3 -2x^2 + 4 are \mathbf{\pm\{1,2,4,\frac 13, \frac 23,\frac{4}{3}}\}

<h3>How to determine the possible zeros?</h3>

The function is given as:

f(x) = 3x^6 + 4x^3 -2x^2 + 4

The leading coefficient of the function is:

p = 3

The constant term is

q = 4

Take the factors of the above terms

p = 1 and 3

q = 1, 2 and 4

The possible zeros are then calculated as:

\mathbf{Zeros = \pm\frac{Factors\ of\ q}{Factors\ of\ p}}

So, we have:

\mathbf{Zeros = \pm\frac{1,2,4}{1,3}}

Expand

\mathbf{Zeros = \pm\frac{1,2,4}{1},\pm\frac{1,2,4}{3}}

Solve

\mathbf{Zeros = \pm\{1,2,4,\frac 13, \frac 23,\frac{4}{3}}\}

Hence, the possible zeros of f(x) = 3x^6 + 4x^3 -2x^2 + 4 are \mathbf{\pm\{1,2,4,\frac 13, \frac 23,\frac{4}{3}}\}

Given: BC bisects DBE. Prove: ABD is congruent to ABE
Arada [10]

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

BC bisects <DBE and if AC is a straight line then you have that:

<ABD + <DBC = 180 (straight angle because of line AC)

<ABE + <CBE = 180 ( straight angle because of line AC)

Because BC bisects <DBE =>   < DBC = <CBE

So <ABD and <ABE must be the same to both sum 180 when added < DBC
