Answer:

The dotted line is 4.9

Step-by-step explanation:

The lower triangle is a right triangle so we can use the Pythagorean theorem

a^2+b^2 = c^2

where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse

2^2 + 4^2 = c^2

4+16 = c^2

20 =c^2

Taking the square root of each side

sqrt(20) = c

The upper rectangle has a length of sqrt(20) and a height of 2

We can use the Pythagorean theorem

a^2+b^2 = c^2

where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse to find the diagonal

2^2 + (sqrt(20))^2 = c^2

4+20 = c^2

24 = c^2

Taking the square root of each side

sqrt(24) = c

4.898979486=c

Rounding to the nearest tenth

4.9 =c

Jane wants to estimate the proportion of students on her campus who eat cauliflower. After surveying 24 students, she finds 2 w

irina1246 [14]

Answer:

A 95% confidence interval for the proportion of students who eat cauliflower on Jane's campus is [0.012, 0.270].

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Jane wants to estimate the proportion of students on her campus who eat cauliflower. After surveying 24 students, she finds 2 who eat cauliflower.

Firstly, the pivotal quantity for finding the confidence interval for the population proportion is given by;

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

where, $\hat p$ = sample proportion of students who eat cauliflower

n = sample of students

p = population proportion of students who eat cauliflower

Here for constructing a 95% confidence interval we have used a One-sample z-test for proportions.

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% level

of significance 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

Now, in Agresti and Coull's method; the sample size and the sample proportion is calculated as;

$n = n + Z^{2}__(\frac{_\alpha}{2})$

n = $24 + 1.96^{2}$ = 27.842

$\hat p = \frac{x+\frac{Z^{2}__(\frac{\alpha}{2}_) }{2} }{n}$ = $\hat p = \frac{2+\frac{1.96^{2} }{2} }{27.842}$ = 0.141

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

= [ $0.141 -1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{0.141(1-0.141)}{27.842} } }$ , $0.141 +1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{0.141(1-0.141)}{27.842} } }$ ]

= [0.012, 0.270]

Therefore, a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of students who eat cauliflower on Jane's campus [0.012, 0.270].

The interpretation of the above confidence interval is that we are 95% confident that the proportion of students who eat cauliflower on Jane's campus is between 0.012 and 0.270.

What is the Density

DENIUS [597]

Answer:

for question 4 the asnwer is 1.7

for question 6 the answer is 2

Explanation:

The volume of 4 is 18 length × width × height so 3 × 3 × 2 = 18

The mass 32kg divided by the volume 18 = 1.777777778

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The volume of 6 is 90 length × width × height so 10 × 3 × 3 = 90

The mass 180kg divided by the volume 90 = 2
