Answer:

95% confidence interval for the percent of all the hospital's admitted patients that year who had an error on their medical bill is [84% , 87%].

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a simple random sample of 2200 hospital patients admitted in a given year shows that 85.5% had an error on their medical bill.

Firstly, the pivotal quantity for 95% confidence interval for the population proportion is given by;

                    P.Q. =  \frac{\hat p-p}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }  ~ N(0,1)

where, \hat p = sample % of patients who  had an error on their medical bill = 85.5%

n = sample of hospital patients = 2200

p = population percentage of all the hospital's admitted patients that year who had an error on their medical bill

<em>Here for constructing 95% confidence interval we have used One-sample z proportion statistics.</em>

<u>So, 95% confidence interval for the population proportion, p is ;</u>

P(-1.96 < N(0,1) < 1.96) = 0.95  {As the critical value of z at 2.5% level

                                                    of significance are -1.96 & 1.96}  

P(-1.96 < \frac{\hat p-p}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } } < 1.96) = 0.95

P( -1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } } < {\hat p-p} < 1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } } ) = 0.95

P( \hat p-1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } } < p < \hat p+1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } } ) = 0.95

<u>95% confidence interval for p</u> = [\hat p-1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } } , \hat p+1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }]

= [ 0.855-1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{0.855(1-0.855)}{2200} } } , 0.855+1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{0.855(1-0.855)}{2200} } } ]

 = [0.84 , 0.87]

= [84% , 87%]

Therefore, 95% confidence interval for the percent of all the hospital's admitted patients that year who had an error on their medical bill is [84% , 87%].

A small explanation would be really appreciated​
shutvik [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

the 2 angles marked with orange and green are equal becos the question said that the indicated angles are congruent meaning same deg. so 180 - that given angle = the 2 marked angles (based on the rule known as angles on a str line are supplementary)

since the 2 marked angles are same, you can say that d and k are parallel due to the rule of alternate angles

A spinner has 6 equally divided sections labeled A, B, C, D, E and F. After spinning the spinner, a number cube is rolled. What
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer: \dfrac{2}{9}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The spinner has 6 equal sections A, B, C, D, E, and F

The two events occurred one after the other. So, the probability is the product of the probabilities of each event.

There are two consonants in the given 6 letter

The probability of landing over a consonant  is

P_1=\dfrac{2}{6}

The number greater than 2 in a cube are 3,4,5,6

So, probability corresponding to it

P_2=\dfrac{4}{6}

So, the required probability is

\Rightarrow P=P_1\times P_2\\\Rightarrow P=\dfrac{2}{6}\times \dfrac{4}{6}\\\\\Rightarrow P=\dfrac{8}{36}\\\\\Rightarrow P=\dfrac{2}{9}

Lilit [14]

Answer:

y-2=\displaystyle -\frac{3}{4}(x-1)

OR

y=\displaystyle -\frac{3}{4}x+\frac{11}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

Point-slope form: y-y_1=m(x-x_1) where <em>m</em> is the slope of the line and (x_1,y_1) is a given point

Given that the slope is -3/4, we can plug it into y-y_1=m(x-x_1) as <em>m</em>:

y-y_1=\displaystyle -\frac{3}{4}(x-x_1)

We can also plug in the given point (1,2):

y-2=\displaystyle -\frac{3}{4}(x-1)

Slope-intercept form: y=mx+b where <em>m</em> is the slope and <em>b</em> is the y-intercept (the value of y when the line crosses the y-axis)

To write the equation in slope-intercept form, isolate <em>y</em>:

y-2=\displaystyle -\frac{3}{4}(x-1)\\\\y=\displaystyle -\frac{3}{4}(x-1)+2\\\\y=\displaystyle -\frac{3}{4}x+\frac{3}{4}+2\\\\y=\displaystyle -\frac{3}{4}x+\frac{11}{4}

I hope this helps!
