The Pew Research Center Internet Project, conducted on the 25th anniversary of the Internet, involved a survey of 857 Internet u

sers (Pew Research Center website, April 1, 2014). It provided a variety of statistics on Internet users. For instance, in 2014, 87% of American adults were Internet users. In 1995 only 14% of American adults used the Internet.
a. The sample survey showed that 90% of respondents said the Internet has been a good thing for them personally. Develop a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of respondents who say the Internet has been a good thing for them personally (to 4 decimals).

b. The sample survey showed that 67% of Internet users said the Internet has generally strengthened their relationship with family and friends. Develop a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of respondents who say the Internet has strengthened their relationship with family and friends (to 4 decimals)

c. Fifty-six percent of Internet users have seen an online group come together to help a person or community solve a problem whereas only 25% have left an online group because of unpleasant interaction. Develop a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of Internet users who say online groups have helped solve a problem (to 4 decimals).

d. Compare the margin of error for the interval estimates in parts (a), (b), and (c). How is the margin of error related to sample proportion (to 2 decimals)?

Answer:

a) 95% confidence interval for the proportion of respondents who say the Internet has been a good thing for them personally:

0.8801\leq \pi \leq 0.9199

b) 95% confidence interval for the proportion of respondents who say the Internet has strengthened their relationship with family and friends:

0.6386\leq \pi \leq 0.7014

c) 95% confidence interval for the proportion of Internet users who say online groups have helped solve a problem:

0.5267\leq \pi \leq 0.5933

d) margin of error for the interval estimates in parts (a) e=0.02, (b) e=0.05, and (c) e=0.06.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) We have a sample proportion of 90% (p=0.90).

The sample size is n=857.

For a 95% CI, the z-value is z=1.96.

The standard deviation for the proportion is:

\sigma_p=\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}=\sqrt{\frac{0.9*0.1}{857}}=0.0102

Then the upper and lower limit of the 95% CI is:

UL=p+z\cdot \sigma_p=0.9+1.96*0.0102=0.9+0.0199=0.9199\\\\\\LL=p-z\cdot \sigma_p=0.9-1.96*0.0102=0.9-0.0199=0.8801

b) We have a sample proportion of 67% (p=0.67).

The sample size is n=857.

For a 95% CI, the z-value is z=1.96.

The standard deviation for the proportion is:

\sigma_p=\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}=\sqrt{\frac{0.67*0.33}{857}}=0.0160

Then the upper and lower limit of the 95% CI is:

UL=p+z\cdot \sigma_p=0.67+1.96*0.0160=0.67+0.0314=0.7014\\\\\\LL=p-z\cdot \sigma_p=0.67-1.96*0.0160=0.67-0.0314=0.6386

c) We have a sample proportion of 56% (p=0.56).

The sample size is n=857.

For a 95% CI, the z-value is z=1.96.

The standard deviation for the proportion is:

\sigma_p=\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}=\sqrt{\frac{0.56*0.44}{857}}=0.0170

Then the upper and lower limit of the 95% CI is:

UL=p+z\cdot \sigma_p=0.56+1.96*0.0170=0.56+0.0333=0.5933\\\\\\LL=p-z\cdot \sigma_p=0.56-1.96*0.0170=0.56-0.0333=0.5267

d)

For a), the relative margin of error is:

e=\frac{z\sigma_p}{p} =\frac{0.0199}{0.9}= 0.02

For b), the relative margin of error is:

e=\frac{z\sigma_p}{p} =\frac{0.0314}{0.67}= 0.05

For c), the relative margin of error is:

e=\frac{z\sigma_p}{p} =\frac{0.0333}{0.56}= 0.06

Help asap!!! <br><br> exponential function matching table..?
masha68 [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential equations have the form of a geometric sequence

y=ar^x\text{ y=final value, a=initial value, r=common ratio, x=term number}\\ \\ \text{The common ratio is found by dividing any term by the previous term, in this case}\\ \\ r=\frac{1}{3},\ a=27\\ \\ f(x)=27\left(\frac{1}{3}\right)^x

The areas of two similar triangles are 72dm2 and 50dm2. The sum of their perimeters is 226dm. What is the perimeter of each of t
astraxan [27]

Answer:

Hence, the perimeter of the triangles are:

P=123.2727 dm

P'=102.7272 dm

Step-by-step explanation:

In two similar triangles:

The ratio of the areas of two triangle is equal to the square of their perimeters.

Let A and A' represents the area of two triangles and P and P' represents their perimeter.

Then they are related as:

\dfrac{A}{A'}=\dfrac{P^2}{P'^2}

We are given:

A=72 dm^2  , A'=50 dm^2

and P+P'=226 dm.-----------(1)

i.e. \dfrac{72}{50}=\dfrac{P^2}{P'^2}\\\\\dfrac{36}{25}=\dfrac{P^2}{P'^2}

on taking square root on both the side we get:

\dfrac{P}{P'}=\dfrac{6}{5}\\\\P=\dfrac{6}{5}P'

Now putting the value of P in equation (1) we obtain:

\dfrac{6}{5}P'+P'=226\\\\\dfrac{6P'+5\times P'}{5}=226\\\\\dfrac{6P'+5P'}{5}=226\\\\11P'=226\times 5\\\\11P'=1130\\\\P'=\dfrac{1130}{11}=102.7272

Hence,

P=226-102.7272=123.2727

Hence, the perimeter of the triangles are:

P=123.2727 dm

P'=102.7272 dm

The jars of paint in the art room have different amounts of paint. The green paint jar is 4/8 full. The purple paint jar is 4/6f
natulia [17]
4/8 is less full because it's only half compared to 4/6 which is 1.5
