Five hundred eleven (511) homes in a certain southern California community are randomly surveyed to determine if they meet minim

al earthquake preparedness recommendations. One hundred seventy-eight (178) of the homes surveyed met the minimum recommendations for earthquake preparedness and 333 did not. Find the confidence interval at the 90% confidence level for the true population proportion of southern California community homes meeting at least the minimum recommendations for earthquake preparedness. (Round your answers to three decimal places.)

Answer:

The confidence interval at the 90% confidence level for the true population proportion of southern California community homes meeting at least the minimum recommendations for earthquake preparedness is (0.3136, 0.3830).

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of \pi, and a confidence interval 1-\alpha, we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

In which

Z is the zscore that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}.

For this problem, we have that:

511 homes were surveyed, of which 178 met the minimum recommendations for earthquake preparedness. This means that n = 511 and p = \frac{178}{511} = 0.3483.

Find the confidence interval at the 90% confidence level for the true population proportion of southern California community homes meeting at least the minimum recommendations for earthquake preparedness.

So \alpha = 0.10, z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{0.10}{2} = 0.95, so z = 1.645.

The lower limit of this interval is:

\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.3483 - 1.645\sqrt{\frac{0.3483*0.6517}{511}} = 0.3136

The upper limit of this interval is:

\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.3483 + 1.645\sqrt{\frac{0.3483*0.6517}{511}} = 0.3830

The confidence interval at the 90% confidence level for the true population proportion of southern California community homes meeting at least the minimum recommendations for earthquake preparedness is (0.3136, 0.3830).

Answer:

y=x-3

Step-by-step explanation:

Everytime the x value increases the y value increases by 1

therefore the slope is 1

to solve for the y intercept, or b, plug in a point

(1,-2) for example,

-2= 1*1+b

-2= 1+b

b= -3

therefore y=x-3
