In a survey of 2065 adults in a certain country conducted during a period of economic uncertainty, 63 % thought that wages paid

to workers in industry were too low. The margin of error was 4 percentage points with 95 % confidence.

Answer:

a) D.The interpretation is flawed. No interval has been provided about the population proportion.

b) D.The interpretation is flawed. The interpretation indicates that the level of confidence is varying.

c) A.The interpretation is reasonable.

d) C.The interpretation is flawed. The interpretation suggests that this interval sets the standard for all the other intervals, which is not true.

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) We are 95 % confident 63 % of adults in the country during the period of economic uncertainty felt wages paid to workers in industry were too low. Is the interpretation reasonable?

D.The interpretation is flawed. No interval has been provided about the population proportion.

The sample proportion alone will not give us any confidence in estimating the true proportion of adults in the country during the period of economic uncertainty felt wages paid to workers in industry were too low.

We need a 95% confidence interval to claim that the true proportion is within this interval. In this case, as the margin of error is 4%, the 95% CI is 59% and 67%.

(b) We are 91 % to 99 % confident 63 % of adults in the country during the period of economic uncertainty felt wages paid to workers in industry were too low. Is the interpretation reasonable?

D.The interpretation is flawed. The interpretation indicates that the level of confidence is varying.

The confidence is set at a fixed value and from that value the confidence interval is estimated. It still uses the sample proportion instead of the confidence interval to estimate the true proportion.

(c) We are 95 % confident the proportion of adults in the country during the period of economic uncertainty who believed wages paid to workers in industry were too low was between 0.59 and 0.67. Is the interpretation reasonable?

A.The interpretation is reasonable.

It uses the right sample data and interpret correctly the meaning of the confidence interval.

(d) In 95 % of samples of adults in the country during the period of economic uncertainty, the proportion who believed wages paid to workers in industry were too low is between 0.59 and 0.67. Is the interpretation reasonable?

C.The interpretation is flawed. The interpretation suggests that this interval sets the standard for all the other intervals, which is not true.

This confidence interval is an estimation about the parameter of the population. It doesn't give information to estimate the sampling distribution, as it only has information of one specific sample.

(25 points) Ricardo wants to mix 1 part yellow paint to 3 parts blue paint to make a certain shade
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

6 pints of blue

Step-by-step explanation:

note- 8 pints = 1 gallon

Original ratio- 3 parts blue to 1 part yellow ( 3b:1y)

This will make 4 pints if we say that 1 part can be one pint
Ricardo needs 8 pints

Divide the amount needed by how much one portion will make

8/4= 2

Multiply original ratio by 2 to see how many pints of each he’ll need for his new amounts

1y*2= 2 pints yellow paint

3b*2=6 pints of blue paint

So to make 8 pints of green with 3 parts blue to 1 part yellow Ricardo will need 6 pints of blue paint


Let me know if you have any questions and I hope this helps! :)

Find the volume of a cylinder with radius 4 m. And height 3 m.
katovenus [111]
V =  \pi r^25

Plug in the values

r = 4 ; h = 3

V= \pi *4^2*3

V = 3.14 * 16 * 3

V = 150.72

So approximately 150.7
