Answer:

C.20

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence interval concepts:

A confidence interval has two bounds, a lower bound and an upper bound.

A confidence interval is symmetric, which means that the point estimate used is the mid point between these two bounds, that is, the mean of the two bounds.

The margin of error is the difference between the two bounds, divided by 2.

In this question:

Lower bound: 70

Upper bounf: 110

Margin of error:

M = \frac{110 - 70}{2} = \frac{40}{2} = 20

Thus the correct answer is given by option C.

In inches, Micah is 5 inches shorter than twice the height of Jasmine, who is 32 inches tall. How tall is Micah in inches?
Monica [59]
Micah is 5 inches shorter than twice the height of Jasmine

Micah = 5 inches shorter than 2 x Jasmine

Micah = 2 x Jasmine - 5    <em>(jasmine is 32 inches tall. Replace jasmine with 32)
</em>
Micah = 2 x 32 - 5

Micah = 64 - 5

Micah = 59

Micah is 59 inches tall

A scale on a blueprint drawing of a house shows that 10 centimeters represents 2 meters. What number of actual meters are repres
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

<u>3.6 meters</u> are represented by 18 centimeters on the blueprint.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A scale on a blueprint drawing of a house shows that 10 centimeters represents 2 meters.

Now, to find the actual meters represented by 18 centimeters.

Let the actual meters represented by 18 centimeters be x.

As, given the scale on a blueprint drawing of a house shows that 10 centimeters represents 2 meters.

So, 10 centimeters equivalent to 2 meters.

Thus, 18 centimeters equivalent to x.

Now, to solve by using cross multiplication method:

\frac{10}{2}=\frac{18}{x}

<em>By cross multiplying we get:</em>

10x=36

<em>Dividing both sides by 10 we get:</em>

x=3.6\ meters.

Therefore, 3.6 meters are represented by 18 centimeters on the blueprint.

A study showed that 14 of 180 publicly traded business services companies failed a test for compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley requi
Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval for the overall noncompliance proportion is (0.0387, 0.1169).

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}.

For this problem, we have that:

n = 180, \pi = \frac{14}{180} = 0.0778

95% confidence level

So \alpha = 0.05, z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{0.05}{2} = 0.975, so Z = 1.96.

The lower limit of this interval is:

\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.0778 - 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.0778*0.9222}{180}} = 0.0387

The upper limit of this interval is:

\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.0778 + 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.0778*0.9222}{180}} = 0.1169

The 95% confidence interval for the overall noncompliance proportion is (0.0387, 0.1169).
