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).

A vacuum had been marked down by 20% and solf for $250. What was the original price of the vacuum?
igomit [66]

Answer:

The original price was $312.50

Step-by-step explanation:

If the vacuum was marked down by 20%, that means it was sold for 80% of the full price. It was sold for $250, so 80% of the original price is $250.

Let's set up an equation.

80/100 of x = 250

0.8 • x = 250

Divide both sides by 0.8.

x = 312.50

The original price was $312.50

Hope this helps!
