A recent Gallup poll found that 36% of U.S. teens aged from 13 to 17 years old have a computer with [(6)] Internet access in the

ir rooms. The poll was based on a random sample of 1028 teens. (a) In words, determine the population parameter, p, that this sample is estimating. [1] (b) Produce a 99% confidence interval for the population proportion, p, and interpret what it means in [3] this context. Round your answers to three decimals. (c) How big of a sample must we take in order to ensure that we are within 1% of the true proportion [2] with 99% confidence

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The population parameter is the population proportion.

b) Confidence interval is written as

Sample proportion ± margin of error

Margin of error = z × √pq/n

Where

z represents the z score corresponding to the confidence level

p = sample proportion. It also means probability of success

q = probability of failure

q = 1 - p

p = x/n

Where

n represents the number of samples

x represents the number of success

From the information given,

n = 1028

p = 36/100 = 0.36

q = 1 - 0.36 = 0.64

To determine the z score, we subtract the confidence level from 100% to get α

α = 1 - 0.99 = 0.1

α/2 = 0.01/2 = 0.005

This is the area in each tail. Since we want the area in the middle, it becomes

1 - 0.05 = 0.995

The z score corresponding to the area on the z table is 2.58. Thus, confidence level of 99% is 2.58

Therefore, the 99% confidence interval is

0.36 ± 2.58 × √(0.36)(0.64)/1028

The lower limit of the confidence interval is

0.36 - 0.039 = 0.321

The upper limit of the confidence interval is

0.36 + 0.039 = 0.399

Therefore, with 99% confidence interval, the proportion of U.S. teens aged from 13 to 17 years old that have a computer with Internet access in their rooms is between 0.321 and 0.399

c) for a margin of error of 1%, that is 1/100 = 0.01, then

0.01 = 2.58 × √(0.36)(0.64)/n

0.01/2.58 = √0.2304/n

0.00387596899 = √0.2304/n

Square both sides

0.00001502314 = 0.2304/n

n = 0.2304/0.00001502314

n = 15336

Choose the Algebraic equation that matches the table
juin [17]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to write the equation, you need to identify the slope and y-intercept.

1) the y intercept is what y is when x=0. According to the table, it is -2.

2) the slope is the change in the y values over the change in the x values.  Notice that the y values are increasing by one for every increase in 1 in the x values, so the slope is 1/1 or 1.

3) we can then put those values into slope-intercept form which is y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the intercept.

4) so the equation is y=(1)x-2 or y=x-2  (they are the same)

GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

\mu_p -\sigma_p = 0.74-0.0219=0.718

\mu_p +\sigma_p = 0.74+0.0219=0.762

68% of the rates are expected to be betwen 0.718 and 0.762

\mu_p -2*\sigma_p = 0.74-2*0.0219=0.696

\mu_p +2*\sigma_p = 0.74+2*0.0219=0.784

95% of the rates are expected to be betwen 0.696 and 0.784

\mu_p -3*\sigma_p = 0.74-3*0.0219=0.674

\mu_p +3*\sigma_p = 0.74+3*0.0219=0.806

99.7% of the rates are expected to be betwen 0.674 and 0.806

Step-by-step explanation:

Check for conditions

For this case in order to use the normal distribution for this case or the 68-95-99.7% rule we need to satisfy 3 conditions:

a) Independence : we assume that the random sample of 400 students each student is independent from the other.

b) 10% condition: We assume that the sample size on this case 400 is less than 10% of the real population size.

c) np= 400*0.74= 296>10

n(1-p) = 400*(1-0.74)=104>10

So then we have all the conditions satisfied.

Solution to the problem

For this case we know that the distribution for the population proportion is given by:

p \sim N(p, \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}})

So then:

\mu_p = 0.74

\sigma_p =\sqrt{\frac{0.74(1-0.74)}{400}}=0.0219

The empirical rule, also referred to as the three-sigma rule or 68-95-99.7 rule, is a statistical rule which states that for a normal distribution, almost all data falls within three standard deviations (denoted by σ) of the mean (denoted by µ). Broken down, the empirical rule shows that 68% falls within the first standard deviation (µ ± σ), 95% within the first two standard deviations (µ ± 2σ), and 99.7% within the first three standard deviations (µ ± 3σ).

\mu_p -\sigma_p = 0.74-0.0219=0.718

\mu_p +\sigma_p = 0.74+0.0219=0.762

68% of the rates are expected to be betwen 0.718 and 0.762

\mu_p -2*\sigma_p = 0.74-2*0.0219=0.696

\mu_p +2*\sigma_p = 0.74+2*0.0219=0.784

95% of the rates are expected to be betwen 0.696 and 0.784

\mu_p -3*\sigma_p = 0.74-3*0.0219=0.674

\mu_p +3*\sigma_p = 0.74+3*0.0219=0.806

99.7% of the rates are expected to be betwen 0.674 and 0.806

If the congruent angles of an isosceles triangle each measure 41 degrees, What is the measure of the third angle?
geniusboy [140]

Answer:

98 degrees

angles of a triangle always add up to 180 degrees. 41+41= 82. 180-82= 98
