Answer: The number of $12 tickets and $15 sold are 120 and 180 respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is:

12x + 15y = 4140 .....(1)

Where,

x stands for $12 tickets and y stands for $15 tickets

According to the question:

x + y = 300 ....(2)

Now solving equation 1 and 2.

From equation 2:

x = 300 - y

Now putting this expression in equation 1.

12x + 15y = 4140

12(300 - y) + 15y = 4140

3600 - 12y + 15y = 4140

3600 + 3y = 4140

3y = 4140 - 3600

3y = 540

y = 180

And,

x = 300 - y = 300 - 180 = 120

The number of $12 tickets sold = x = 120

The number of $15 tickets sold = y = 180

Thus, the number of $12 tickets and $15 sold are 120 and 180 respectively.

Suppose that a local TV station conducts a survey of a random sample of 120 registered voters in order to predict the winner of

forsale [732]

Answer:

a) The 99% CI for the true proportion of voters who prefer the Republican candidate is (0.3658, 0.6001). This means that we are 99% sure that the true population proportion of all voters who prefer the Republican candidate is (0.3658, 0.6001).

b) The upper bound of the confidence interval is above 0.5 = 50%, which meas that the candidate can be confidence of victory.

Step-by-step explanation:

Question a:

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 z-score that has a p-value of $1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}$ .

Sample of 120 registered voters in order to predict the winner of a local election. The Democrat candidate was favored by 62 of the respondents.

So 120 - 62 = 58 favored the Republican candidate, so:

$n = 120, \pi = \frac{58}{120} = 0.4833$

99% confidence level

So $\alpha = 0.01$ , z is the value of Z that has a p-value of $1 - \frac{0.01}{2} = 0.995$ , so $Z = 2.575$ .

The lower limit of this interval is:

$\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.4833 - 2.575\sqrt{\frac{0.4833*0.5167}{120}} = 0.3658$

The upper limit of this interval is:

$\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.4833 + 2.575\sqrt{\frac{0.4833*0.5167}{120}} = 0.6001$

The 99% CI for the true proportion of voters who prefer the Republican candidate is (0.3658, 0.6001). This means that we are 99% sure that the true population proportion of all voters who prefer the Republican candidate is (0.3658, 0.6001).

b. If a candidate needs a simple majority of the votes to win the election, can the Republican candidate be confident of victory? Justify your response with an appropriate statistical argument.

The upper bound of the confidence interval is above 0.5 = 50%, which meas that the candidate can be confidence of victory.
