The state education commission wants to estimate the fraction of tenth grade students that have reading skills at or below the e

ighth grade level. 1. Suppose a sample of 955 tenth graders is drawn. Of the students sampled, 812 read above the eighth grade level. Using the data, estimate the proportion of tenth graders reading at or below the eighth grade level. 2. Suppose a sample of 955 tenth graders is drawn. Of the students sampled, 812 read above the eighth grade level. Using the data, construct the 90% confidence interval for the population proportion of tenth graders reading at or below the eighth grade level.

Answer:

The estimation for the proportion of tenth graders reading at or below the eighth grade level is given by:

\hat p =\frac{955-812}{955}= 0.150

0.150 - 1.64 \sqrt{\frac{0.150(1-0.150)}{955}}=0.131

0.150 + 1.64 \sqrt{\frac{0.150(1-0.150)}{955}}=0.169

And the 90% confidence interval would be given (0.131;0.169).

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following info given:

n= 955 represent the sampel size slected

x = 812 number of students who read above the eighth grade level

The estimation for the proportion of tenth graders reading at or below the eighth grade level is given by:

\hat p =\frac{955-812}{955}= 0.150

The confidence interval for the proportion  would be given by this formula

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

For the 90% confidence interval the significance is \alpha=1-0.9=0.1 and \alpha/2=0.05, with that value we can find the quantile required for the interval in the normal standard distribution and we got.

z_{\alpha/2}=1.64

And replacing into the confidence interval formula we got:

0.150 - 1.64 \sqrt{\frac{0.150(1-0.150)}{955}}=0.131

0.150 + 1.64 \sqrt{\frac{0.150(1-0.150)}{955}}=0.169

And the 90% confidence interval would be given (0.131;0.169).

What is the axis of symmetry of the function f(x) = –(x + 9)(x – 21)?
ludmilkaskok [199]
First, we have to realize that this is factored form, so we have to put this in standard quadratic form using FOIL, which is a rule mandating how we multiply the numbers here. F stands for First, which means the first number inside the parentheses for both of them, then O means the first number in the first quantity(fancy word for parentheses) multiplied by the last number of the second quantity, and so forth. When you are done, you combine like terms

anyway, you end up with x²-12x-189, but you have to inverse all numbers because of the parentheses in front, so it becomes -x²+12x+189.

Now you can find the axis of symmetry uisng the equation -b=2a (oh yeah, I forgot to mention: the standard quadratic form is a(x)²+b(x)+c already). So you do -12 / -2, which then becomes 6.

The axis of symmetry is 6

Solve for x.<br><br> 3x - 13 = 2<br><br> (SHOW YOUR WORK)
Eddi Din [679]

3x-13=2

move -13 to the other side

sign changes from -13 to +13

3x-13+13=2+13

3x=2+13

3x=15

divide both sides by 3 to get x by itself

3x/3=15/3

cross out 3 and 3, divide by 3 and then becomes 1*1*x=x

x=15/3

x=5

answer:

x=5

(8x-5) (2x) (3x-10). what is the largest angle??
kompoz [17]
8x-5 would be the largest angle because as you approach a larger and larger x value, 8x-5 will skyrocket past the other two. Also when you plug in a low value like 1, 8x-5=3, which is still higher than the other two. The only exception is if you plug in a negative x value which is impossible.
8x-5
