Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
a) Sample statistics are used to estimate population value. Since 48% is a sample proportion, therefore, it is a sample statistic.
b) For 95% confidence level, z* = 1.96.
\hat{p}\pm z^* \sqrt{\frac{\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})}{n}}= 0.61\pm 0.61\sqrt{\frac{0.61(1-0.61)}{1578}}=0.61\pm 0.024 \ or (0.586, 0.634).
We are 95% confident that the true proportion of US residents who think marijuana should be made legal lies between 58.6% and 63.4%.
c)
\\np=1578(0.61)=962.58
\\n(1-p)=1578(1-0.61)=615.42
Since both np and n(1-p), are at least 10, the normal model is a good approximation for these data.
d) As the lower limit of confidence interval is less than 0.5, less than 50% population is also a plausible value of true proportion. This means the statement "Majority of Americans think marijuana should be legalized" is not justified.
Answer:
A. 1.2 yd
Step-by-step explanation:
We are informed that Mr.Reddrick has a 74 total yards of red and blue felt to distribute to students in his art class. Moreover, we also have the information that each of his 20 students gets 2.5 yards of blue felt for the project. This implies that the total blue felt distributed is;
20*2.5 = 50 yards
The remainder is the total red felt left for distribution;
74 - 50 = 24 yards
Since we have 20 students, each one of them receives;
24/20 = 1.2 yd
