Many people think that a national lobby's successful fight against gun control legislation is reflecting the will of a minority

of Americans. A random sample of 4000 citizens yielded 2250 who are in favor of gun control legislation. Estimate the true proportion of all Americans who are in favor of gun control legislation using a 95% confidence interval

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval of  the true proportion of all Americans who are in favor of gun control legislation is (0.5471, 0.5779).

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of \pi, and a confidence interval 1-\alpha, we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

In which

z is the zscore that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}.

For this problem, we have that:

A random sample of 4000 citizens yielded 2250 who are in favor of gun control legislation. This means that n = 4000 and \pi = \frac{2250}{4000} = 0.5625

Estimate the true proportion of all Americans who are in favor of gun control legislation using a 95% confidence interval

So \alpha = 0.05, z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{0.05}{2} = 0.975, so z = 1.96.

The lower limit of this interval is:

\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.5625 - 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.5625*0.4375}{4000}} = 0.5471

The upper limit of this interval is:

\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.5625 + 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.5625*0.4375}{4000}} = 0.5779

The 95% confidence interval of  the true proportion of all Americans who are in favor of gun control legislation is (0.5471, 0.5779).

Mila [183]

Answer:

1. D  2. C  3. C  4. N 5. C  6. N

Step-by-step explanation:

The Alternating Series Test

∑(-1)nBn converges when the following two conditions are met:

(i) lim Bn = 0 and (ii) {Bn} is (eventually) decreasing.

Note: The Alternating Series Test doesn't apply when either of the conditions is not met, and so never is a test for divergence.  If the first condition isn't met, then the "n-th term test" will show divergence.

1. Bn = (n^4+2^n))/(n^3−1)

lim (n^4+2^n))/(n^3−1) = 0 but (ii) the function is increasing as n increases, Hence diverges

2. Bn = 1/n^5 lim Bn = 0. this is a converging p series as P>5 satisfies the condition for P series convergence P > 1 converges, 0<P<=1 diverges and (ii) is satisfied. Hence Converges

3. Bn = cos(n))/(n^2) ; cos(n) has no limit since it dangles between 0 and 1 and limit is unique. leaving 1/n^2 to converge according to the condition for P series convergence P > 1 converges, 0<P<=1 diverges and (ii) is satisfied. Hence Converges.

4. Bn = (n^3+1))/(n^3+7) ; lim Bn as n tends to infinity = 0. (ii) can be confirmed by limit compression test

5. Bn = (n^10+1))/e^n; lim Bn = 0 also Bn is a decreasing function since the denominator is an increasing function and (ii) is satisfied. Hence Converges.

6. Bn =(n^3+1))/(n^4+1) ; lim Bn as n tends to infinity = 0. (ii) can be confirmed by limit compression test

The base of a ladder is placed 5 feet away from a 13 foot tall wall. What is the minimum length ladder needed to reach the top o
zimovet [89]
Apply the Pythagorean theorem

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

a = 5, b = 13.

5^2 = 25, 13^2 = 169

25 + 169 = 194

square root 194 = 13.928, rounded to nearest foot = 14 ft. 

The minimum ladder length required to reach the top of the wall = 14 ft.

Help?<br> Would the answer for this be (-9,3) or (3,9) or (9,-3) or (-9,-3)???
Levart [38]

Answer:

(-9, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

To rotate a point 270°:

R₂₇₀ (x, y) = (y, -x)

So the answer would be (-9, 3).
