Answer: a) (0.755, 0.925)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p be the population proportion of 8th graders are involved with some type of after school activity.

As per given , we have

n= 100

sample proportion: \hat{p}=0.84

Significance level : \alpha= 1-0.98=0.02

Critical z-value : z_{\alpha/2}=2.33  (using z-value table)

Then, the 98% confidence interval that estimates the proportion of them that are involved in an after school activity will be :-

\hat{p}\pm z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\dfrac{\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})}{n}}

i.e. 0.84\pm (2.33)\sqrt{\dfrac{0.84(1-0.84)}{100}}

i.e. \approx0.84\pm 0.085

i.e. (0.84- 0.085,\ 0.84+ 0.085)=(0.755,\ 0.925)

Hence, the 98% confidence interval that estimates the proportion of them that are involved in an after school activity : a) (0.755, 0.925)

Marcela estimates the distance between the library and town hall is 735 ft. The actual distance is 612 ft
miv72 [106K]
The answer is 20%.

Step 1: Subtract the measured distance and the actual distance to calculate the error.
Step 2: Divide the given value by the actual distance and convert it into the percentage.

the actual distance is 612 ft
the measured distance is 735 ft

Step 1: 735 ft - 612 ft = 123 ft
Step 2: 123 ft / 612 ft = 0.20 = 20/100 = 20%
