In a science fair​ project, Emily conducted an experiment in which she tested professional touch therapists to see if they could

sense her energy field. She flipped a coin to select either her right hand or her left​ hand, and then she asked the therapists to identify the selected hand by placing their hand just under​ Emily's hand without seeing it and without touching it. Among 329 ​trials, the touch therapists were correct 154 times.
a. Given that Emily used a coin toss to select either her right hand or her left hand, what proportion of correct responses would be expected if the touch therapists made random guesses?
b. Using Emily's sample results, what is the best point estimate of the therapists' success rate?
c. Using Emilys sample results, construct a 90% confidence interval estimate of the proportion of correct responses made by touch therapists.

Answer:

a) p = 0.5

b) \hat p= \frac{X}{n}= \frac{154}{329}= 0.468

c) 0.468 - 1.64 \sqrt{\frac{0.468(1-0.468)}{329}}=0.423

0.468 + 1.64 \sqrt{\frac{0.468(1-0.468)}{329}}=0.513

And the 90% confidence interval for the true proportion is given by (0.527;0.593).

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a

For this case we don't have any prior info given so then the probability assumed for this case is:

p = 0.5

Part b

For this case the proportion of success is given by:

\hat p= \frac{X}{n}= \frac{154}{329}= 0.468

Part c

The confidence interval for the true 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 value of and , and the critical value would be given by:

z_{\alpha/2}=1.64

The confidence interval is given by:

0.468 - 1.64 \sqrt{\frac{0.468(1-0.468)}{329}}=0.423

0.468 + 1.64 \sqrt{\frac{0.468(1-0.468)}{329}}=0.513

And the 90% confidence interval for the true proportion is given by (0.527;0.593).

Find the area of a parallelogram if a base and corresponding altitude have the indicated lengths.
Vitek1552 [10]
The answer is 3/4 ft² = 0.75 ft²

The area (A) of the parallelogram with altitude a and base b is:
A = a * b

We have:
A = ?
a = 6 in
Since 1 inch is 0.083 feett, then 6 inches is
a = 6 * 0.083 ft = 0.498 ft ≈ 0.5 ft = 1/2 ft
b = 1 1/2 ft = 1 + 1/2 ft = 2/2 + 1/2 ft = 3/2 ft
_______
A = a * b
a = 1/2 ft
b = 3/2 ft
A = 1/2 * 3/2 = 3/4 ft² = 0.75 ft²

What is the slope of the line on the graph below? On a coordinate plane, a line goes through points (negative 2, negative 3), (n
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use 2 points to find the slope

m = (y2 -y1)/(x2-x1)

Using ( 0,1) and (1,3)

    = (3-1)/(1-0)

   = 2/1

  = 2

Two customers went to a post office to buy postcards and large envelopes. Each postcard
astraxan [27]

The right answer is Option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

x be the postcards

y be the large envelops

According to given statement;

14x+5y=12   Eqn 1

10x+15y=24.80   Eqn 2

Multiplying Eqn 1 by 3;

3(14x+5y=12)\\42x+15y=36\ \ \ Eqn \ 3

Subtracting Eqn 2 from Eqn 3;

(42x+15y)-(10x+15y)=36-24.80\\42x+15y-10x-15y=11.20\\32x=11.20\\

Dividing both sides by 32

\frac{32x}{32}=\frac{11.20}{32}\\x=0.35

Putting x=0.35 in Eqn 1;

14(0.35)+5y=12\\4.90+5y=12\\5y=12-4.90\\5y=7.10

Dividing both sides by 5

\frac{5y}{5}=\frac{7.10}{5}\\y=1.42

Therefore, one large envelope costs $1.42

The right answer is Option A.

Shanley would like to give $5 gift cards
Serjik [45]

Answer:

$5x + $4y ≤ $120

let x = 10

y = 5

$70  ≤ 120

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that

> means greater than

< means less than

≥  means greater or equal to

≤ means less than or equal to

the total amount Shanley has is $120. She can spend less than this amount or the amount exactly. So, the inequality sign to be used is ≤

$5x + $4y ≤ $120

let x = 10

y = 5

(50) + 20  ≤ 120

$70 ≤  120
