Answer:

The 95% confidence interval for the proportion of American adults who smoked in 2008 is (20.1%, 21.1%).

Step-by-step explanation:

The critical value of <em>z</em> for 95% confidence level is:

<em>z</em> = 1.96

Compute the 95% confidence interval for the proportion of American adults who smoked in 2008 as follows:

CI=\hat p\pm z_{\alpha/2}\cdot\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}

     =0.206\pm 1.96\times\sqrt{\frac{0.206(1-0.206)}{21781}}\\\\=0.206\pm 0.0054\\\\=(0.2006, 0.2114)\\\\\approx (0.201, 0.211)

Thus, the 95% confidence interval for the proportion of American adults who smoked in 2008 is (20.1%, 21.1%).

Jason leaves Detroit at 2:00 PM and drives at a constant speed west along I-96. He passes Ann Arbor, 40 mi from Detroit, at 2:50
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

d = 48t will represent the distance 'd' traveled in 't' hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jason leaves Detroit at 2:00 PM and passes through Ann Arbor at 2:50 PM which is 40 mi distant from Detroit.

Speed during this journey was constant.

Jason traveled 40 mi in 50 minutes or \frac{5}{6} hours from Detroit to Ann Arbor.

By the formula,

Speed = \frac{\text{Distance traveled }}{\text{Time taken to travel this distance}}

Speed = \frac{40}{\frac{5}{6}}

           = 48 mi per hour

If he travels 'd' miles in 't' hours then by the formula of speed,

48 = \frac{d}{t}

d = 48t
