Answer: The interval is 0.9 ± 0.0259 and margin of error is 0.0259

Step-by-step explanation: <em>Confidence interval for a proportion in one sample</em> is the estimate of the proportion of a population. It is calculated following the next steps:

1) Find the proportion p=\frac{x}{n}, in which x is the number of people with the desired condition. In our case, p=0.9;

2) Calculate margin of error, i.e.:

z\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}

z is z-score, which for a 95% confidence, equals 1.96;

Substituting with the data given:

1.96(\sqrt{\frac{0.9(1-0.9)}{514}}) = 0.0259

3) Write: p ± z\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}

In our case, the interval will be 0.9 ± 0.0259.

<u><em>Margin</em></u><em> </em><u><em>of</em></u><em> </em><u><em>error</em></u> is the random sampling error in the results of a survey, i.e.,it shows you how far your result will be from the real value. For the Harris poll, margin of error is 0.0259

Answer:

3.14

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the circumference of the circle:

2\pi r = Circumference.

2 * \pi * 6 = 12\pi

Find the ratio of the angle in relation to the entire circle:

30^o is what we have. So:

\frac{30^o}{360^o} = \frac{1}{12}

Use the ratio and multiply the circumference to find the length:

12\pi * \frac{1}{12} = \pi

Round answer to the hundredth:

\pi = 3.14

A survey found that 12 out of every 15 people prefer eating out over cooking. If 500 people took the survey, how many people pre
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

400 people

Step-by-step explanation:

15 = 12

500 = x

Cross multiply

15x = 12 × 500

Divide both sides by 15

\frac{15x}{15} = \frac{12 * 500}{15}  (* means multiplication if you do not know)

\frac{12 * 500}{15} = 100 × 4= 400 people

The city of Paris, France, is completely contained within an almost circular road that goes around the edge. The radius of Paris
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

Area of Paris is approximately 28.26 square miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Radius of Paris  = 3 miles

We need to find the approximate area of Paris.

Also Given:

City of Paris has an almost circular road that goes around the edge.

hence Considering it as Circle we will find the area of circle.

Area of Circle is equal to π times square of the radius.

Framing it in equation form we get;

area of Paris =\pi r^2

Substituting the value of radius we get;

Area of Paris  = \pi \times r^2 = 3.14 \times3^2 = 28.26 \ miles^2

Hence Area of Paris is approximately 28.26 square miles.
