f graduating from high school, in 2013, a random sample of 160 individuals who graduated from high school 12 months prior was selected. From this sample, 102 students were found to be enrolled in college or a trade school. A.) construct a 90% confidence interval to estimate the actual proportion of students enrolled in college or a trade school within 12 months of graduating from high school in 2013. B.)

Answer:

a) The 90% confidence interval is 0.575\leq \pi\leq 0.701

b) The margin of error is 0.063.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to construct a 90% confidence interval for the proportion of students enrolled in college or a trade school within 12 months of graduating from high school in 2013.

We have a sample of 160 students, and a proportion of:

p=X/N=102/160=0.6375

The standard deviation is:

\sigma=\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{N}}=\sqrt{\frac{0.6375*0.3625}{160}}=0.038

As the sample size is big enough, we use the z-value as statistic. For a 90% CI, the z-value is z=1.645.

Then, the margin of error is:

E=z\cdot\sigma=1.645\cdot 0.038=0.063

Then, the 90% confidence interval is:

p-z\cdot \sigma\leq \pi\leq p+z\cdot\sigma\\\\0.638-0.063\leq \pi\leq 0.638+0.063\\\\0.575\leq \pi\leq 0.701

Answer:

It will take 39.27 gallons to repaint the barn.

Step-by-step explanation:

The image of the setup is obtained from online and attached to this solution.

The rectangular prism is a cuboid of

Length = 84 ft

Breadth = 38 ft

Height = 20 ft

And the triangular prism on top of the rectangular prism has a vertical height of 12 ft.

The surface area of the composite structure that is available for painting include the 4 sides of the top triangular prism and the four sides of rectangular prism

Two of the faces of the triangular prism are triangles with base of 38 ft and height of 12 ft.

The other two faces of the triangular prism are rectangles with length 84 ft and breadth of the hypoteneuse of the right angled triangle on top.

B² = 12² + 19²

B = 22.47 ft

Total Surface area of the faces of the rectangular prism is then

2×(84×20) + 2×(38×20) = 4880 ft²

Total surface area of the faces of the triangular prism is then

2×(0.5×12×38) + 2×(84×22.47) = 4,230.96 ft²

Total surface area = 4880 + 4230.96 = 9110.96 ft²

1 gallon of paint = 232 ft²

x gallons of paint = 9110.96 ft²

x = (1×9110.96/232) = 39.27 gallons.

Hope this Helps!!!

Is the following number negative, positive or neither?<br> -6 1/2
Annette [7]

Answer:

negative.

Step-by-step explanation:

what is half of -6?

=-3, negative.

You owe your friend 6 dollars, and you have 0 dollars.

Your friend told you: you only have to pay half the money

so, instead of owing 6 dollars, you owe 3 dollars, which will still be equal to -3 dollars from your wallet :)
