The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) includes a "long-term trend" study that tracks reading and mathematics sk

ills over time, and obtains demographic information. In the 2012 study, a random sample of 9000 17-year-old students was selected.24 The NAEP sample used a multistage design, but the overall effect is quite similar to an SRS of 17-year-olds who are still in school. In the sample, 51% of students had at least one parent who was a college graduate. Estimate, with 99% confidence, the proportion of all 17-year-old students in 2012 who had at least one parent graduate from college.

Answer:

The 99% confidence interval estimate for the proportion of all 17-year-old students in 2012 who had at least one parent graduate from college is (0.4964, 0.5236).

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}.

Sample of 9000, 51% of students had at least one parent who was a college graduate.

This means that n = 9000, \pi = 0.51

99% confidence level

So \alpha = 0.01, z is the value of Z that has a pvalue 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}} = 0.51 - 2.575\sqrt{\frac{0.51*0.49}{9000}} = 0.4964

The upper limit of this interval is:

\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.51 + 2.575\sqrt{\frac{0.51*0.49}{9000}} = 0.5236

The 99% confidence interval estimate for the proportion of all 17-year-old students in 2012 who had at least one parent graduate from college is (0.4964, 0.5236).

I'll talk you through it so you can see why it's true, and then
you can set up the 2-column proof on your own:

Look at the two pointy triangles, hanging down like moth-wings
on each side of 'OC'.

-- Their long sides are equal,  OA = OB, because both of those lines
are radii of the big circle.

-- Their short sides are equal, OC = OC, because they're both the same line.

-- The angle between their long side and short side ... the two angles up at 'O',
are equal, because OC is the bisector of the whole angle there.

-- So now you have what I think you call 'SAS' ... two sides and the included angle of one triangle equal to two sides and the included angle of another triangle.
(When I was in high school geometry, this was not called 'SAS' ... the alphabet
did not extend as far as 'S' yet, and we had to call this congruence theorem
"broken arrow".)

These triangles are not congruent the way they are now, because one is
the mirror image of the other one.  But if you folded the paper along 'OC',
or if you cut one triangle out and turn it over, it would exactly lie on top of
the other one, and they would be congruent.

So their angles at 'A' and at 'B' are also equal ... those are the angles that
you need to prove equal.

Please help me :/ If AB=BC, then DE=2(AB). AB=6 and BC=6. What can you conclude
Stella [2.4K]
AB=6 but DE=2(AB) so DE=2(6)=12

At the movie theatre, child admission is $5.20 and adult admission is $8.60. On Sunday, 132 tickets were sold for a total sales
xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

60 tickets for children were sold

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of sold children's tickets and let y be the number of adult tickets sold, then we can pose the following equations.

x + y = 132   (i) Because 132 tickets were sold in total

5.20x + 8.60y = 931.20   (ii)   because the total of $ obtained by sales was 931.20.

We must clear x. Then we substitute (i) in (ii)

5.20x +8.60(132-x) = 931.20

5.20x + 1135.2 - 8.60x = 931.20

-3.4x = -204

x = 60

15. I had 180 mL of water in a measuring cylinder. I added a stone. The reading is now 195 mL. What is the volume of the stone?​
alexira [117]

Answer: 15 mL

Step-by-step explanation:

Before the stone the reading was 180 mL

When the stone was added the reading rose to 195 mL

So, we subtract them both, this will give us the volume of the stone

195 mL - 180 mL = 15 mL
