Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

“the center of the ellipse is located below the given co-vertex”

Co-vertex and center are vertically aligned, so the ellipse is horizontal.

Equation for horizontal ellipse:

(x-h)²/a² + (y-k)²/b² = 1

with

a² ≥ b²

center (h,k)

vertices (h±a, k)

co-vertices (h, k±b)

foci (h±c,k), c² = a² -b²

One co-vertex is (-8,9), so h = -8.

One focus is (4,4), so k = 4.

Center (h,k) = (-8,4)

c = distance between center and focus = |-8 - 4| = 12

b = |9-k| = 5

a² = c² + b² = 169

(x+8)²/169 + (y-4)²/25 = 1

A survey asked whether respondents favored or opposed the death penalty for people convicted of murder. Software shows the resul
scoray [572]

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval for those opposed is: (0.298, 0.334).

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of \pi, and a confidence level of 1-\alpha, we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

In which

z is the zscore that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}.

For this problem, we have that:

1786 of the 2611 were in favor, so 2611 - 1786 = 825 were opposed. Then

n = 2611, \pi = \frac{825}{2611} = 0.316

95% confidence level

So \alpha = 0.05, z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{0.05}{2} = 0.975, so Z = 1.96.

The lower limit of this interval is:

\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.316 - 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.316*0.684}{2611}} = 0.298

The upper limit of this interval is:

\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.316 + 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.316*0.684}{2611}} = 0.334

The 95% confidence interval for those opposed is: (0.298, 0.334).
