Answer:

95% confidence interval for the proportion of adults in the United States whose favorite sport to watch is football is [0.265 , 0.316].

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that in a simple random sample of 1219 US adults, 354 said that their favorite sport to watch is football.

Firstly, the pivotal quantity for 95% confidence interval for the proportion of adults in the United States whose favorite sport to watch is football is given by;

P.Q. = $\frac{\hat p-p}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ ~ N(0,1)

where, $\hat p$ = proportion of adults in the United States whose favorite sport to watch is football in a sample of 1219 adults = $\frac{354}{1219}$

n = sample of US adults = 1291

p = population proportion of adults

<em>Here for constructing 95% confidence interval we have used One-sample z proportion statistics.</em>

So, 95% confidence interval for the population proportion, p is ;

P(-1.96 < N(0,1) < 1.96) = 0.95 {As the critical value of z at 2.5%

significance level are -1.96 & 1.96}

P(-1.96 < $\frac{\hat p-p}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ < 1.96) = 0.95

P( $-1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} }$ < ${\hat p-p}$ < $1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} }$ ) = 0.95

P( $\hat p-1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} }$ < p < $\hat p+1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} }$ ) = 0.95

<u>95% confidence interval for p</u> = [ $\hat p-1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} }$ , $\hat p+1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} }$ ]

= [ $\frac{354}{1219}-1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\frac{354}{1219}(1-\frac{354}{1219})}{1219} }$ , $\frac{354}{1219}+1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\frac{354}{1219}(1-\frac{354}{1219})}{1219} }$ ]

= [0.265 , 0.316]

Therefore, 95% confidence interval for the proportion of adults in the United States whose favorite sport to watch is football is [0.265 , 0.316].

rewona [7]

Answer:

The mean of the sampling distribution of x is 0.5 and the standard deviation is 0.083.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

For the population, we have that:

Mean = 0.5

Standard deviaiton = 0.289

Sample of 12

By the Central Limit Theorem

Mean = 0.5

Standard deviation $s = \frac{0.289}{\sqrt{12}} = 0.083$

The mean of the sampling distribution of x is 0.5 and the standard deviation is 0.083.

In the following exercises, solve

yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

When the volume of a gas in a container varies inversely with the pressure on the gas and a container of nitrogen has a volume of 29.5 litres with 2000 psi. So, if the tank has a 14.7 psi pressure, then the volume of the tank would be 4013.6 litres.

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a gas in a container varies inversely with the pressure on the gas. If a container of nitrogen has a volume of litres with psi, what is the volume if the tank has a psi pressure.

Calculate the volume to the nearest whole number.

Use the given values and calculate the proportionality constant as well as required solution.

Step 1 of 2

Write the inversely proportionality relation between the volume and pressure of a gas in container.

$v \propto \frac{1}{p}$

Where volume is represented by v and pressure is represented by p.

Remove the proportionality and place a constant say k.

$v=\frac{k}{p}$

Substitute the given values of nitrogen that v=29.5 and

p=2000 and calculate the value of k from above equation.

$\begin{aligned}&29.5=\frac{k}{2000} \\&\Rightarrow k=29.5 \times 2000 \\&\Rightarrow k=59000\end{aligned}$

Step 2 of 2

Substitute the value p=14.7 and above calculated k value in the equation

$\begin{aligned}&v=\frac{k}{p} . \\&v=\frac{59000}{14.7} \\&\Rightarrow v=4013.6\end{aligned}$
