Answer:

y=-0.215x^2+35

Step by Step:

Let, h=0,  k=35, x=8, y=21

We know that, the general equation of the parabola.

   y-k = a(x-h)^2

\Rightarrow y=a(x-h)^2+k  .........(i)

Substitute the  value of h, k, x, y in equation (i) and find the value of a.

  21=a(8-0)^2+35

\Rightarrow 21=a\times 8^2+35

\Rightarrow 21=64a+35

\Rightarrow 64a=21-35

\Rightarrow 64a=-14

\Rightarrow a=\frac{-14}{65}

\Rightarrow a=-0.215

Hence, the equation of the parabola is:

y=-0.215x^2+35

A survey of 200 students is selected randomly on a large university campus. They are asked if they use a laptop in class to take
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval for the true proportion of university students who use laptop in class to take notes is (0.2839, 0.4161).

Step-by-step explanation:

The (1 - <em>α</em>)% confidence interval for population proportion <em>P</em> is:

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

The information provided is:

<em>x</em> = number of students who responded as"yes" = 70

<em>n</em> = sample size = 200

Confidence level = 95%

The formula to compute the sample proportion is:

p=\frac{x}{n}

The R codes for the construction of the 95% confidence interval is:

> x=70

> n=200

> p=x/n

> p

[1] 0.35

> s=sqrt((p*(1-p))/n)

> s

[1] 0.03372684

> E=qnorm(0.975)*s

> lower=p-E

> upper=p+E

> lower

[1] 0.2838966

> upper

[1] 0.4161034

Thus, the 95% confidence interval for the true proportion of university students who use laptop in class to take notes is (0.2839, 0.4161).
