Answer:

The correct option is (A).

Step-by-step explanation:

The (1 - <em>α</em>)% confidence interval for the population proportion is:

CI=\hat p \pm MOE

The information provided is:

\hat p = 0.24

MOE = 0.089

The 85% confidence interval for the population proportion of adults who dreaded​ Valentine's Day is:

CI=\hat p \pm MOE

     =0.24\pm 0.089\\=(0.151, 0.329)

So, the 85% confidence interval for the population proportion of adults who dreaded​ Valentine's Day is (0.151, 0.329).

The (1 - <em>α</em>)% confidence interval for population parameter implies that there is a (1 - <em>α</em>) probability that the true value of the parameter is included in the interval.

Or, the (1 - <em>α</em>)% confidence interval for the parameter implies that there is (1 - <em>α</em>)% confidence or certainty that the true parameter value is contained in the interval.

So, the 85%  confidence interval for the population proportion, (0.151, 0.329), implies that there is 85% confidence that the proportion of the adult citizens of the nation that dreaded​ Valentine's Day is between 0.151 and 0.329.

Or there is 0.85 probability that the true proportion of the adult citizens of the nation that dreaded​ Valentine's Day is between 0.151 and 0.329.

Thus, the correct option is (A).

What is the sum of StartRoot negative 2 EndRoot and StartRoot negative 18 EndRoot?
Darya [45]

Answer:

4 \sqrt{2} i

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find the sum of

\sqrt{ - 2}  +  \sqrt{ - 18}

We can rewrite this as

\sqrt{ 2 \times  - 1}  +  \sqrt{ 18 \times  - 1}

This becomes;

\sqrt{2}  \times  \sqrt{ - 1}  +  \sqrt{18}  \times  \sqrt{ - 1}

Recall that;

i =  \sqrt{ - 1}

This implies that;

\sqrt{2} i + 3 \sqrt{2} i

Combine like terms:

4 \sqrt{2} i
