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%].

You measure the width of a doorway and find that it is 1.20 m wide. Find the greatest possible error of your measurement
elena-s [515]
Given that the distance between two lines in the measurement instrument is 0.01m, the maximum error should be 0.01m/2 = 0.005 m.

If you do a good work, the real measure is 1.20m +/- 0.005m, this is between 1.195 and 1.205.
