The state education commission wants to estimate the fraction of tenth grade students that have reading skills at or below the e

marusya05 [52]

Answer:

The estimation for the proportion of tenth graders reading at or below the eighth grade level is given by:

$\hat p =\frac{955-812}{955}= 0.150$

$0.150 - 1.64 \sqrt{\frac{0.150(1-0.150)}{955}}=0.131$

$0.150 + 1.64 \sqrt{\frac{0.150(1-0.150)}{955}}=0.169$

And the 90% confidence interval would be given (0.131;0.169).

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following info given:

$n= 955$ represent the sampel size slected

$x = 812$ number of students who read above the eighth grade level

The estimation for the proportion of tenth graders reading at or below the eighth grade level is given by:

$\hat p =\frac{955-812}{955}= 0.150$

The confidence interval for the proportion would be given by this formula

$\hat p \pm z_{\alpha/2} \sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}$

For the 90% confidence interval the significance is $\alpha=1-0.9=0.1$ and $\alpha/2=0.05$ , with that value we can find the quantile required for the interval in the normal standard distribution and we got.

$z_{\alpha/2}=1.64$

And replacing into the confidence interval formula we got:

$0.150 - 1.64 \sqrt{\frac{0.150(1-0.150)}{955}}=0.131$

$0.150 + 1.64 \sqrt{\frac{0.150(1-0.150)}{955}}=0.169$

And the 90% confidence interval would be given (0.131;0.169).

Marina spent $13.50 at the grocery store. She bought pears, kiwis, and pineapples. Pears cost $0.50 each, pineapples cost $1.50

kiruha [24]

Answer:

Number of pineapples = 10

Number of pears = 10 + 9 = 19

Number of kiwis = 10 - 2 = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Money = $ 13.5

Cost of a pear = $ 0.5

Cost of a pineapple = $ 1.5

Cost of a kiwi = $ 0.3

let the number of pineapple = p

Number of pears = p + 9

Number of kiwis = p - 2

Cost is

0.5 (p + 9) + 0.15 p + 0.3 (p - 2) = 13.5

0.5 p + 4.5 + 0.15 p + 0.3 p - 0.6 = 13.5

0.95 p = 9.6

p = 10

So, number of pineapples = 10

Number of pears = 10 + 9 = 19

Number of kiwis = 10 - 2 = 8
