A survey of 132 students is selected randomly on a large university campus. They are asked if they use a laptop in class to take

notes. The result of the survey is that 66 of the 132 students responded "yes.". An approximate 98% confidence interval is (0.399, 0.601). How would the confidence interval change if the confidence level had been 90% instead of 98%

Answer:

For 90% CI = (0.428, 0.572)

For 98% CI = (0.399, 0.601)

The confidence interval (and Margin of error) reduces when 90% confidence level is used compared to when 98% confidence level is used.

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence interval can be defined as a range of values so defined that there is a specified probability that the value of a parameter lies within it.

The confidence interval of a statistical data can be written as.

p+/-z√(p(1-p)/n)

Given that;

Proportion p = 66/132 = 0.50

Number of samples n = 132

Confidence level = 90%

z(at 90% confidence) = 1.645

Substituting the values we have;

0.50 +/- 1.645√(0.50(1-0.50)/132)

0.50 +/- 1.645√(0.001893939393)

0.50 +/- 0.071589436011

0.50 +/- 0.072

(0.428, 0.572)

The 90% confidence level estimate of the true population proportion of students who responded "yes" is (0.428, 0.572)

For 90% CI = (0.428, 0.572)

For 98% CI = (0.399, 0.601)

The confidence interval (and Margin of error) reduces when 90% confidence level is used compared to when 98% confidence level is used.

Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

m = -2 and b = -1/3

m = -2 and b = -2/3.

Step-by-step explanation:

y = -2x - 1/3

y = -2x - 2/3

This system has no solutions because y cannot be 2 different values at once.
