A survey was given to a random sample of 1450 residents of a town to determine whether they support a new plan to raise taxes in

order to increase education spending. Of those surveyed, 48% of the people said they were in favor of the plan. Determine a 95% confidence interval for the percentage of people who favor the tax plan, rounding values to the nearest tenth.

Answer:

(0.4543 ; 0.5057)

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a confidence interval for one sample proportion :

Phat , = 0.48

Sample size = 1450

1 - phat = 1 - 0.48 = 0.52

Zcritical = 95% ; Zcritical at 95% = 1.96

Using the relation :

Phat ± Zcritical *√[phat(1-phat) / n]

√[phat(1-phat) / n] = √(0.48*0.52) /1450) = 0.0131201

Lower boundary :

0.48 - (1.96 * 0.0131201) = 0.4543

Upper boundary :

0.48 + (1.96 * 0.0131201) = 0.5057

(0.4543 ; 0.5057)

Explain how to find which is greater 1/4 of 12 or 1/3 of 12
stiks02 [169]
1/3 would be greater because 
1/3 of 12= 4 while 
1/4 of 12 = 3
to check your work you would get a calculator (if possible) and divide 3by 12 or 4 by 12 then if you get .33 (divide 3 by 12 like 3/12) its 1/3. if its .25 (divide 4 by 12 like 4/12) its 1/4

A family has two cars. The first car has a fuel efficiency of 20 miles per gallon of gas and the second has a fuel efficiency of
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

<u>Answer:</u>

First car:  35 gallons

Second car: 15 gallons

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Assuming x to be the gas consumed by 1st car and 50 - x to be the gas consumed by 2nd car.

We know that:

Distance traveled = fuel efficiency × gas consumed

20x+35(50-x)=1225

20x+1750-35x=1225

35x-20x=1750-1225

15x=525

x=35

So 50 - x = 50-35=15

Therefore, first car consumed 35 gallons while second car consumed 15 gallons.

A box with a square base and an open top is being constructed out of A cm2 of material. If the volume of the box is to be maximi
viktelen [127]

Answer:

Side length = \sqrt{\frac{A}{3} } cm ,   Height =  \frac{1}{2} \sqrt{\frac{A}{3} } cm  ,  Volume = \frac{A\sqrt{A}}{6\sqrt{3} }  cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume

Side length of base = x

Height of box = y

total material required to construct box = A ( given in question)

So it can be written as

A = x² + 4xy

4xy = A - x²

  1. y = \frac{A - x^{2} }{4x}

Volume of box = Area x height

V = x² ₓ y

V = x² ₓ ( \frac{A - x^{2} }{4x} )

V =  \frac{Ax - x^{3} }{4}

To find max volume put V' = 0

So taking derivative equation becomes

\frac{A - 3 x^{2} }{4} = 0

A = 3 x^{2}

x^{2} = \frac{A}{3}

x = \sqrt{\frac{A}{3\\} }

put value of x in equation 1

y = \frac{A - \frac{A}{3} }{4\sqrt{\frac{A}{3} } }  

y = \frac{2 \sqrt{\frac{A}{3} } }{4 \sqrt{\frac{A}{3} } }

y = \frac{1}{2} \sqrt{\frac{A}{3} }

So the volume will be

V = x^{2} × y

Put values of x and y from equation 2 & 3

V = \frac{A}{3} (\frac{1}{2} \sqrt{\frac{A}{3} } )

V = \frac{A\sqrt{A}}{6\sqrt{3} }
