A trucking firm has a large inventory of spare parts that have been in storage for a long time. It knowsthat some proportion of

these spare parts will have deteriorated to the point where they are no longerusable. In order to estimate this proportion, the firm tests 75 parts, and finds that 0.25 of them are notusable. Find the 95% confidence interval for the population proportion of parts that are not usable.
a. 0.25(1 0.25) 0.25(1 0.25) C 0.25 1.96 p 0.25 1.96 0.95 75 75
b. 0.25(1 0.25) 0.25(1 0.25) C 0.25 1.96 p 0.25 1.96 0.95 75 75
c. 0.25(1 0.25) 0.25(1 0.25) C 0.25 1.645 p 0.25 1.645 0.95 75 75
d. 0.25(1 0.25) 0.25(1 0.25) C 0.25 1.645 p 0.25 1.645 0.95 75 75

Answer:

0.1546\leq \widehat{p}\leq 0.3513

Step-by-step explanation:

The firm tests 75 parts, and finds that 0.25 of them are notusable

n = 75

x = 0.25 \times 75 = 18.75≈19

\widehat{p}=\frac{x}{n}

\widehat{p}=\frac{19}{75}

\widehat{p}=0.253

Confidence level = 95%

So, Z_\alpha at 95% = 1.96

Formula of confidence interval of one sample proportion:

=\widehat{p}-Z_\alpha \sqrt{\frac{\widehat{p}(1-\widehat{p}}{n}}\leq \widehat{p}\leq \widehat{p}+Z_\alpha \sqrt{\frac{\widehat{p}(1-\widehat{p}}{n}}

=0.253-(1.96)\sqrt{\frac{0.253(1-0.253)}{75}}\leq \widehat{p}\leq0.253+(1.96)\sqrt{\frac{0.253(1-0.253}{75}}

Confidence interval =0.1546\leq \widehat{p}\leq 0.3513

I’m pretty sure it’s talking about the amount of water regulated to food for example how much water does gelatin have 90% why? How? Because the food produces its self with water making it absorbed and the best way the question is asking is how many __in units.

I don’t know how to take a picture on this and send it out for a question
Amanda [17]

Answer:

Where it says "add attachment" with the paper clip, select your picture from there. If you don't know how to do that, take a picture of it with your phone, email it to yourself, and download it on your computer. It should then be in a folder called "downloads" or something similar. Feel free to ask further questions if you're still stuck!
