Answer:
a) 272 used at least one prescription medication.
b) The 90% confidence interval estimate of the percentage of adults aged 57 through 85 years who use at least one prescription medication is (85.6%, 87.6%).
Step-by-step explanation:
Question a:
86.6% out of 3149, so:
0.866*3149 = 2727.
272 used at least one prescription medication.
Question b:
In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of
, and a confidence level of
, we have the following confidence interval of proportions.
In which
z is the z-score that has a p-value of
.
For this problem, we have that:
90% confidence level
So
, z is the value of Z that has a p-value of
, so
.
The lower limit of this interval is:
The upper limit of this interval is:
For the percentage:
0.856*100% = 85.6%
0.876*100% = 87.6%.
The 90% confidence interval estimate of the percentage of adults aged 57 through 85 years who use at least one prescription medication is (85.6%, 87.6%).
Answer:
DE = 13.4 cm (to 1 decimal place)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: ABCD is a square
BC = AC = 12 cm (opposite sides of a square are congruent)
E is midpoint of BC (given)
BE = EC = 12/2 = 6 cm
CD = AB = 12 cm (opposite sides of a square are congruent)
angle ECD is a right angle (interior angles of a square are 90 deg.)
Consider right triangle ECD
DE = sqrt(EC^2+CD^2) ............. pythagorean theorem
= sqrt(6^2+12^2)
= sqrt ( 36+144 )
= sqrt (180)
= 2 sqrt(45)
= 13.416 (to three dec. places)
parallel = same slope
y=1/5x-4
slope= 1/5x
solve using for b using y=mx+b
-4=(1/5)(5)+b
-4=4+b
(subtract -4 from both sides)
-8=b
put your equation together:
y=1/5x-8
