Which equation has an � −intercept of (5,0) and a � −intercept of (0, −2.5)?

1 answer:

7 0

So much clearer! Thank you (seriously).

Use the point-slope form of the eq'n of a str. line. Find the slope first:
0-(-2.5) 2.5
m = ------------- = -------- = 1/2
5 - 0 5

Then, y-0 = (1/2)(x-5)

Which answer choice do you believe matches this?

In a simple random sample of 300 boards from this shipment, 12 fall outside these specifications. Calculate the lower confidence

Lyrx [107]

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval for the percentage of all boards in this shipment that fall outside the specification is (1.8%, 6.2%).

Step-by-step explanation:

In a random sample of 300 boards the number of boards that fall outside the specification is 12.

Compute the sample proportion of boards that fall outside the specification in this sample as follows:

$\hat p =\frac{12}{300}=0.04$

The (1 - α)% confidence interval for population proportion p is:

$CI=\hat p\pm z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}$

The critical value of z for 95% confidence level is,

$z_{\alpha/2}=z_{0.05/2}=z_{0.025}=1.96$

*Use a z-table.

Compute the 95% confidence interval for the proportion of all boards in this shipment that fall outside the specification as follows:

$CI=\hat p\pm z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}\\=0.04\pm1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.04(1-0.04)}{300}}\\=0.04\pm0.022\\=(0.018, 0.062)\\\approx(1.8\%, 6.2\%)$
