Answer:

The 90% confidence interval is (0.1897, 0.2285).

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 interval $1-\alpha$ , 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:

From a July 2019 survey of 1186 randomly selected Americans ages 18-29, it was discovered that 248 of them vaped (used an e-cigarette) in the past week. This means that $n = 1186, \pi = \frac{248}{1186} = 0.2091$

Construct a 90% confidence interval to estimate the population proportion of Americans age 18-29 who vaped in the past week.

So $\alpha = 0.10$ , z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of $1 - \frac{0.10}{2} = 0.95$ , so $z = 1.645$ .

The lower limit of this interval is:

$\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.2091 - 1.645\sqrt{\frac{0.2091*0.7909}{1186}} = 0.1897$

The upper limit of this interval is:

$\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.2091 + 1.645\sqrt{\frac{0.2091*0.7909}= 0.2285$

The 90% confidence interval is (0.1897, 0.2285).

A regular octagonal pyramid. Each side of the base is 6 cm long. it has a height of 10cm. Find the surface area of the pyramid

attashe74 [19]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

470.16 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

The apothem of the base is used for two purposes: to find the area of the base, and to find the slant height of each face.

The apothem of the base for side length s is ...

s/2 = a·tan(π/8)

a = s/(2·tan(π/8)) ≈ 7.24 cm

The slant height of a triangular face is found using the Pythagorean theorem. The apothem of the base and the height are legs of the right triangle whose hypotenuse is the slant height. For slant height x, we have ...

x² = 10² + a² = 100 +52.46

x ≈ √152.46 ≈ 12.35

__

The area of the 8 triangular faces will be ...

A = 1/2Px . . . . where P is the perimeter of the pyramid

The area of the base will be ...

A = 1/2Pa

So, the total surface area is ...

A = 1/2P(a + x) = (1/2)(8)(6 cm)(7.24 +12.35 cm) ≈ 470.16 cm²

Please help me with this question

mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

John and Pam are paid $8.5 for each hour worked. John's share of the money is $29.75.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = the hourly salary. John worked for 3.5 hrs, and Pam for two. We can represent this using the equation:

3.5x + 2x = 46.75, where the coefficients equals the amount of hours.

Let's solve for x!

5.5x=46.75

x = 46.75/5.5 = 17/2 = 8.5

John and Pam are paid 8.5 dollars per each hour worked.

To figure out John's share of the money, we will multiply the wage by the hours he worked.

8.5 x 3.5 = 29.75

A foreman for an injection-molding firm admits that on 55% of his shifts, he forgets to shut off the injection machine on his li

motikmotik

Answer:

0.8594

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a denote the event of forgetting to shut off machine and b be the event of being defective.

-A foreman forgets to shut off machine 55% of the time.

-If he forgets, 15% of molds are defective.

-If he does not, 3% of molds are defective.

#The probability that he forgot to shut off the machine is calculated as:

$P(a \ and \ b)=0.55\times 0.15\\\\=0.0825\\\\$

P(a and ~b)=0.55(1-0.15)=0.4675

P(~a and b) = (1-0.55)*0.03=0.0135

P(~a and ~b) = (1-0.55)*(1-0.03)=0.4365

#Conditional probability is defined as:

$P(a|b)=\frac{P(a \ and\ b)}{P(a)}\\\\=\frac{P(a \ and \ b)}{[(P(a \ and \ b)+P(\~a \ and \ b)}\\\\\\=\frac{0.0825}{0.0825+0.0135}\\\\\\=0.8594$

Hence, the probability that the foreman forgot to shut off the machine the previous night is 0.8594
