Answer:

679

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for calculating the sum of an arithmetic progression which contains the first and the last term is expressed as;

Sn = n/2(a+l) where:

n is the number of terms in the series

a is the first term of the series

l is the last term of the series.

Given the series 3+10+......+87+94 which has 14terms,

a = 3

n = 14

l = 94

S3 = 14/2(3+94)

S3 = 7(97)

S3 = 679

Here is a trick that not a lot of people know

(# of terms)*(first+last)/2
(in case you don't know, * means multiply and / means divide)

Of 150 adults selected randomly from one town, 30 of them smoke. Construct a 99% confidence interval for the true percentage of

anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

The 99% confidence interval for the true percentage of all adults in the town that smoke is (0.1159, 0.2841).

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:

Of 150 adults selected randomly from one town, 30 of them smoke. This means that $n = 150, p = \frac{30}{150} = 0.2$

99% confidence interval

So $\alpha = 0.01$ , z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of $1 - \frac{0.01}{2} = 0.995$ , so $Z = 2.575$ .

The lower limit of this interval is:

$\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.20 - 2.575\sqrt{\frac{0.20*0.80}{150}} = 0.1159$

The upper limit of this interval is:

$\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.20 + 2.575\sqrt{\frac{0.20*0.80}{150}}{119}} = 0.2841$

The 99% confidence interval for the true percentage of all adults in the town that smoke is (0.1159, 0.2841).
