In politics, marketing, etc. we often want to estimate a percentage or proportion p. One calculation in statistical polling is t

he margin of error - the largest (reasonable) error that the poll could have. For example, a poll result of 72% with a margin of error of 4% indicates that p is most likely to be between 68% and 76% (72% minus 4% to 72% plus 4%).
In a (made-up) poll, the proportion of people who like dark chocolate more than milk chocolate was 27% with a margin of error of 1.6%. Describe the conclusion about p using an absolute value inequality.

The answer field below uses the symbolic entry option in Mobius. That lets you type in a vertical bar | to represent absolute values. Also, when you type in < and then =, the symbolic entry option will automatically convert that too ≤ . In the same way, if you type in > and then =, the symbolic entry option will automatically convert that to ≥.

Be sure to use decimal numbers in your answer (such as using 0.40 for 40%).

Answer:

|0.254 ≤ p ≤ 0.286|

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

In a made up poll :

Proportion of people who like dark chocolate than milk chocolate (p) = 27%

Margin of Error = 1.6%

Hence,

p ± margin of error

27% ± 1.6%

(27 - 1.6)% ; (27 + 1.6)%

25.4% ; 28.6%

0.254 ; 0.286

Therefore ;

Lower bound = 0.254

Upper bound = 0.286

Expressing p as an absolute value Inequality ;

|0.254 ≤ p ≤ 0.286|

Which expression is equivalent to *picture attached*
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

The correct option is;

4 \left (\dfrac{50 (50+1) (2\times 50+1)}{6} \right ) +3  \left (\dfrac{50(51) }{2} \right )

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is presented as follows;

\sum\limits _{n = 1}^{50}n\times \left (4\cdot n + 3  \right )

Which can be expanded into the following form;

\sum\limits _{n = 1}^{50} \left (4\cdot n^2 + 3  \cdot n\right ) = 4 \times \sum\limits _{n = 1}^{50} \left  n^2 + 3  \times\sum\limits _{n = 1}^{50}  n

From which we have;

\sum\limits _{k = 1}^{n} \left  k^2 = \dfrac{n \times (n+1) \times(2n+1)}{6}

\sum\limits _{k = 1}^{n} \left  k = \dfrac{n \times (n+1) }{2}

Therefore, substituting the value of n = 50 we have;

\sum\limits _{n = 1}^{50} \left  k^2 = \dfrac{50 \times (50+1) \times(2\cdot 50+1)}{6}

\sum\limits _{k = 1}^{50} \left  k = \dfrac{50 \times (50+1) }{2}

Which gives;

4 \times \sum\limits _{n = 1}^{50} \left  n^2 =  4 \times \dfrac{n \times (n+1) \times(2n+1)}{6} = 4 \times \dfrac{50 \times (50+1) \times(2 \times 50+1)}{6}

3  \times\sum\limits _{n = 1}^{50}  n = 3  \times \dfrac{n \times (n+1) }{2} = 3  \times \dfrac{50 \times (51) }{2}

\sum\limits _{n = 1}^{50}n\times \left (4\cdot n + 3  \right ) = 4 \times \dfrac{50 \times (50+1) \times(2\times 50+1)}{6} +3  \times \dfrac{50 \times (51) }{2}

Therefore, we have;

4 \left (\dfrac{50 (50+1) (2\times 50+1)}{6} \right ) +3  \left (\dfrac{50(51) }{2} \right ).

A manufacturer of potato chips would like to know whether its bag filling machine works correctly at the 434 gram setting. It is
yan [13]

Answer:

No, there is not sufficient evidence to support the claim that the bags are underfilled

Step-by-step explanation:

A manufacturer of potato chips would like to know whether its bag filling machine works correctly at the 434 gram setting.

This means that the null hypothesis is:

H_{0}: \mu = 434

It is believed that the machine is underfilling the bags.

This means that the alternate hypothesis is:

H_{a}: \mu < 434

The test statistic is:

z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

In which X is the sample mean, \mu is the value tested at the null hypothesis, \sigma is the standard deviation and n is the size of the sample.

434 is tested at the null hypothesis:

This means that \mu = 434

A 9 bag sample had a mean of 431 grams with a variance of 144.

This means that X = 431, n = 9, \sigma = \sqrt{144} = 12

Value of the test-statistic:

z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

z = \frac{431 - 434}{\frac{12}{\sqrt{9}}}

z = -0.75

P-value of the test:

The pvalue of the test is the pvalue of z = -0.75, which is 0.2266

0.2266 > 0.01, which means that there is not sufficient evidence to support the claim that the bags are underfilled.
