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).

katen-ka-za [31]

It takes you 45 minutes to clean the fish tank and it takes your sister 30 minutes. how long does it take the two of you working together to clean the fish tank

Answer:

My 1 minute work =\frac{1}{45}

My sisters 1 minute work =\frac{1}{30}

My and My sister's 1 minute work =\frac{1}{45}+\frac{1}{30}

                                                        =\frac{5}{90}

                                                        =\frac{1}{18}

\therefore Me and My sister will finish the work in \frac{18}{1} =18 minutes

Esmerelda is five times as old as Ruth. Four years ago, the sum of their ages was 22 years. How old is each now?
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

Ruth is  x+4=7/3+4,   esmerelda  is  5x+4=35/3+4

Step-by-step explanation:

if Ruth is x, esmerelda is 5x,

four years ago,

Ruth is x+4,  esmerelda is 5x+4,  depend on the sum, we get:

x+4+5x+4=22, x=7/3

so:

Ruth is  x+4=7/3+4,   esmerelda  is  5x+4=35/3+4
