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

Answer:

  6/5 units³

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of the prism is given by the formula

  V = Bh

where B is the area of the "base" and h is the height perpendicular to that base. Filling in the given numbers, you have ...

  V = (9/5)·(2/3) = 18/15 = 6/5 . . . . units³

Does (-24,-12) and (-15,-9) line pass through point (18,2)?
Dmitrij [34]

Find the slope using the formula [ y2-y1/x2-x1 ].

-9-(-12)/-15-(-24)

3/9

1/3

Find the y-intercept using the formula [ y = mx + b ].

y = 1/3x + b

-12 = 1/3(-24) + b

-12 = -8 + b

-4 = b

Use (18, 2) to see if the line passes through it

y = 1/3x - 4

2 = 1/3(18) - 4

2 = 6 - 4

2 = 2 TRUE

Thus, the line does pass through (18, 2).

Best of Luck!
