1. A researcher would like to learn about the difference in proportions of students and faculty who support textbook price caps.

The researcher gathers a random sample of 500 students and 500 faculty members and asks whether or not they support textbook price caps. 378 students and 256 faculty members say they support capping prices. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the difference of the population proportions. Round the confidence interval limits to three decimal places.

Answer: (0.186, 0.298)

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to find the confidence interval for the difference of the population proportion is given by :-

\hat{p}_1-\hat{p}_2\pm z^*\sqrt{\dfrac{\hat{p}_1(1-\hat{p}_1)}{n_1}+\dfrac{\hat{p}_2(1-\hat{p}_2)}{n_2}}   ... (i)

, where n_1= Sample size of population 1.

n_2=  Sample size of population 2.

\hat{p_1}= Sample proportion of population 1.

\hat{p}_2 = Sample proportion of population 2.

z* = Critical z-value corresponding to confidence interval

As per given , we have

n_1=n_2=500

\hat{p}_1=\dfrac{378}{500}=0.756\\\hat{p}_2=\dfrac{256}{500}=0.512

Critical value corresponds to 95% confidence interval = 1.96

Put all these values , in (i) , we get

0.756-0.512\pm 1.96\sqrt{\dfrac{0.756(1-0.756)}{500}+\dfrac{0.512(1-0.512)}{500}}\\\\=0.244\pm1.96(\sqrt{0.00086864})\\\\=0.244\pm1.96(0.0294727)\\\\=0.244\pm0.0577665\\\\=(0.244-0.0577664,\ 0.24+0.0577664)\\\\=(0.1862336,\ 0.2977664)\approx(0.186,\ 0.298)

Hence, the 95% confidence interval for the difference of the population proportions= (0.186, 0.298)

A spinner has 4 equally sized sectors that are numbered 1, 2, 2 and 6. The spinner is spun twice and the product of the outcomes
Elena-2011 [213]
First thing, there is a typo in all your answers: there is no way you can get 14 as a product of the numbers of the spinner's sectors, but rather 36.

After this premise, the correct answer is A) If the product of the spins is 2, pale lilac will be used. If the product is 4, mellow sage will be used. If the product is 12, seafoam blue will be used. If the product is 1, 6 or 36, totally taupe will be used.

Explanation:

You have a spinner with 4 sectors that is spinned twice. Therefore, the possible outcomes are 4 × 4 = 16 pairs of numbers:
(1, 1) (1, 2) (1, 2) (1, 6)
(2, 1) (2, 2) (2, 2) (2, 6)
(2, 1) (2, 2) (2, 2) (2, <span>6)
</span>(6, 1) (6, 2) (6, 2) (6, <span>6)

The possible products are then,
1    2    2    6
2    4    4  12
2    4    4  12
6  12  12  36

Hence, we have:
1 possible product of 1;
4 </span><span>possible products of 2;
4</span><span> possible products of 4;
</span><span>2 possible product of 6;
</span><span>4 possible products of 12;
</span><span>1 possible product of 36.

Since the paint colors are 4, to make a fair decision, each color should be matched with 16 </span>÷ 4 = 4 total possible outcomes: the products 2, 4 and 12 each have 4 possible outcomes, the products 1, 6 and 36 together have 4 possible outcomes.

Therefore, a fair decision is taken if we match:
product 2 - color 1
product 4 - color 2
product 12 - color 3
products 1, 6 and 36 - color 4.

Hence, the only correct option is A)

Using the digits 0 through 9, find out how many 4-digit numbers can be configured based on the stated conditions: a. [1 pt] The
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

a. 4536, b. 2500, c. 500, d. 1080

Step-by-step explanation:

for every question we can use the numbers 0 - 9, this is 10 numbers in total (0, 1, 2, ,3 , 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9).

Fore every case we have to check how many numbers we are allow to use in each digit.

  • a.

"The number cannot start with zero" this left us with 9 options of numers for the first digit.

"no digits can be repeated." So if we already use one numer for the first, we can't repeat this in the second, and so on. So for the second numer we have 9 numbers as option (now we can use 0), for the third, since we already use 2 digits, we have 8 options, and for the last, we have 7

that results in: 9*9*8*7 = 4536

  • b

"The number must begin and end with an odd digit. " for odd digits we have 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 --> 5 options for the fist and last digit, and for the two middle digits, we have 10 options for each since it is allowed to repeat numbers

that results in: 5*10*10*5=2500

  • c

"The number must be at least 5000" So the first digit can use 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9 -->5 options for the fist digit

"and be divisible by 10." so it has to end in a 0, --> 1 option fot the last numer

and for the middle digits there are no restrictions, so we use the 10 options for each.

that results in: 5*10*10*1=500

  • d

"The number must be less than 3000 and must be even" for it to be less than 3000 it has to start with 0, 1 or 2 -> 3 options for the first digit

"and must be even" so the number has to end in 0, 2, 4, 6 or 8 --> 5 options for the last number

"No digits may be repeated in the last 3 digits." So we can't repeat in the middle number the one we put in the last digit, this gives us 9 options for the fist middle number and 8 for the second middle number

that results in: 3*8*9*5 = 1080

Find the solution to each problem. Show all of your work.
Katen [24]

1. 1 hour = 60 minutes

We convert 3 hours and 25 minutes to minute : 3 x 60 + 25 = 205 (minutes). Since 205 < 230, it took longer to get home than getting to the beach.

2. (Same convertion)

5 hours and 10 minutes = 5 x 60 + 10 = 310 (minutes)

So, the last day rained longer than the day before it.

3. 1 day = 24 hours.

We convert 3 days to hours : 3 x 24 = 72 (hours)

Since 72 > 68, Wendy's family lost their power longer than their neighbors.

4. 1 minute = 60 seconds

Convert 2 minutes and 2 seconds to seconds : 2 x 60 + 2 = 122 (seconds)

Since 122 > 121, it means Paul took longer to finish his race, which mean Jeff finished first (Rip Paul)

5.

Question : Bob bought 2 pizzas for him and his friend, Kevin. They both ate 1 pizza. Bob finished his pizza in 6 minutes and 45 seconds. Kevin finished his pizza in 400 seconds. Who finished first?

Solution : Convert 6 minutes and 45 seconds to seconds : 6 x 60 + 45 = 405 (seconds)

Since 405 > 400, Bob took longer to finish his pizza -> Kevin finished first.

select the correct answer from each drop-down menu. How are confidence intervals affected by interval size? When creating a conf
11111nata11111 [884]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

When creating a confidence interval, higher confidence corresponds to a <u>   larger   </u> interval, and lower confidence corresponds to a <u>   smaller   </u> interval.

==============================================

Explanation:

Imagine you are going fishing for an elusive sea creature of some kind. Casting a very wide net means we are more confident in catching the creature, in comparison to using a smaller net.

The fishing net is analogous to the width of the confidence interval. The wider the confidence interval, the more confident that we're capturing the parameter we're trying to measure.
