A planning board in Elm County is interested in estimating the proportion of its residents that are in favor of offering incenti

ves to high-tech industries to build plants in that county. A random sample of Elm County residents was selected. All of the selected residents were asked, "Are you in favor of offering incentives to high-tech industries to build plants in your county?" A 95 percent confidence interval for the proportion of residents in favor of offering incentives was calculated to be 0.54 ± 0.05. Which of the following statements is correct? (As an added challenge: Can you find the mistakes in the incorrect statements?)
a) At the 95% confidence level, the estimate of 0.54 is within 0.05 of the true proportion of county residents in favor of offering incentives to high-tech industries to build plants in the county.
b) At the 95% confidence level, the majority of area residents are in favor of offering incentives to high-tech industries to build plants in the county.
c) In repeated sampling, 95% of the sample proportions will fall in the interval (0.49, 0.59).
d) In repeated sampling, the true proportion of county residents in favor of offering incentives to high-tech industries to build plants in the county will fall in the interval (0.49, 0.59).
e) In repeated sampling, 95% of the time the true proportion of county residents in favor of offering incentives to high-tech industries to build plants in the county will be equal to 0.54.

By what percent will a fraction change if its numerator is decreased by 20% and its denominator is decreased by 60%?
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

The fraction will increase by 100%

Step-by-step explanation:

Say the fraction is x/y. The question is telling us to decrease x by 20% (i.e. 0.8x) and to decrease y by 60% (i.e. 0.4y):

= \frac{0.8x}{0.4y}\\= 2 (\frac {x}{y})

You can see that by applying these changes, the new fraction is actually double the old fraction (i.e. will increase by 100%).
