Answer:

Frank's confidence interval, (.75, .89) has to be wrong.

The explanation is presented below.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Confidence Interval for the population proportion is basically an interval of range of values where the true population proportion can be found with a certain level of confidence.

Mathematically,

Confidence Interval = (Sample proportion) ± (Margin of error)

Margin of Error is the width of the confidence interval about the mean.

So, a sample proportion of 80% indicates that Beth's interval of (.73, .87) gives a margin of error of 7%.

Making the lower limit of the interval be

(Sample proportion) - (Margin of error) = 80 - 7 = 73%

Upper limit of the interval = (Sample proportion) + (Margin of error) = 80 + 7 = 87%

Hence, this confidence interval is plausible for the survey carried out.

But Frank's interval of (.75, .89) doesn't work with the definition of a confidence interval given above. The range has to be equally spread around the mean with (lower limit, upper limit). The lower limit cannot be 75 and the upper limit 89.

If the lower limit is truly 75, the margin of error has to be (80 - 75), 5%. And the corresponding upper limit should be (80 + 5), 85%.

Frank's interval as (.75, .85) would have been more plausible.

And if the upper limit is truly 89%, the fiitting lower limit, judging by the distance of the upper limit from the sample proportion (89 - 80 = 9%), should be (80 - 9), 71%. Frank's interval as (.71, .89) would also have been more plausible.

Hope this Helps!!!

Ok, make sure you put the powers correctly. I know what you mean but someone else may not. So it's step 2. This is because the 4 doesn't mean add a digit.

Si el lado de un cuadrado mide 10cm cuanto mide él área del círculo que se encuentra adentro de ese cuadrado
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

El área del círculo que se encuentra en el cuadrado es de 78.5cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Para resolver este ejercicio tenemos que pensar que un cuadrado tiene sus 4 lados iguales, por lo que todos sus lados medirán 10cm.

Ahora nos fijamos que necesitamos saber para calcular el área de un circulo

a = área

r = radio

π = 3.14

a = π * r²

como podemos ver no sabemos el valor del radio

como el circulo toca con los 4 lados del cuadrado sabemos que su radio sera la distancia del centro del cuadrado a cualquiera de los lados.

Entonces tenemos que dividir un lado por 2

10cm/2 = 5cm

El radio del circulo sera 5cm

Ahora que tenemos todos los datos podemos calcular el valor del área

a = 3.14 * (5cm)²

a = 3.14 * 25cm²

a = 78.5cm²

El área del círculo que se encuentra en el cuadrado es de 78.5cm²

: Mark wants to fence 4 rectangular gardens, each with a length of feet 9/1/4 and a width of feet 4/1/2 . What is the total leng
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

Mark needs 110 ft. fencing to surround all 4 gardens.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mark wants to fence 4 rectangular gardens. So we calculate the perimeter of the each garden by this formula

P = 2(L) + 2(W)

Total Length of the garden = 9\frac{1}{4} + 9\frac{1}{4}

= \frac{37}{4}+ \frac{37}{4}

Length = 18.5 feet

Total width of the garden = 4\frac{1}{2} + 4\frac{1}{2}

= \frac{9}{2}+ \frac{9}{2}

Width = 9.0 feet

Perimeter of the garden = 18.5 + 9 = 27.5 feet

Mark wants to fence 4 garden

Therefore, 27.5 × 4 = 110 feet.

Mark needs 110 ft. fencing to surround all 4 gardens.
