In 2012, about 24% of high-school seniors reported binge drinking (defined as five or more drinks in a row in the past two weeks

), a substantial drop since the late 1990s. A simple random sample of 500 high-school seniors is to be taken. The standard error is 0.019. What is the 95% confidence interval for the proportion of high-school seniors in the sample who would report binge drinking? (0.24 - 1.96*0.019, 0.24 + 1.96*0.019) O (0.24 - 1.645*0.019,0.24 + 1.645*0.019) (0.019 - 1.96*0.24, 0.019 +1.96*0.24) (0.019 - 1.645*0.24, 0.019 +1.645*0.24)

Answer: (0.24 - 1.96*0.019, 0.24 + 1.96*0.019)

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the confidence interval population proportion (p) is given by :-

\hat{p}\pm z*\cdot SE

, where \hat{p} = sample proportion.

z* = Critical value (Two -tailed)

SE = standard error

Given : In 2012, about 24% of high-school seniors reported binge drinking (defined as five or more drinks in a row in the past two weeks), a substantial drop since the late 1990s.

\hat{p}=0.24

SE = 0.019

Significance level =\alpha=1-0.95=0.05

Two-tailed value corresponds for \alpha=0.05 :

z*=1.96   [Using z-table]

Now, the 95% confidence interval for the proportion of high-school seniors in the sample who would report binge drinking will be :-

0.24\pm (1.96)\cdot (0.019)=(0.24-1.96\times 0.019,\ 0.24+1.96\times 0.019)

Hence, the correct answer = (0.24 - 1.96*0.019, 0.24 + 1.96*0.019)

5(y + 2/5) = -13<br><br> Solve for y<br><br> Show or explain your method
Natalija [7]
Step 1. Multiply 5 by y and you get 5y
Step 2. Multiply 5 by .4(2/5)
Step 3. Your equations will look like 5y+2=-13
Step 4. Subtract 2 from its self and -13
Step 5. Your equation will be 5y=-15
Step 6. Divide 5 from both sides
Step 7. Your answer is y=-3

HELP I DONT GET IT!!!For the system below solve using linear combinations method 2a+3b=1 and -2a+b=11
Maksim231197 [3]
Linear combination method just means to add the equations so that one variable with cancel. In this case the a values are already set up so that they will cancel.
2a + 3b = 1
-2a + b = 11
4b = 12
b = 3

now put 3 back into either of the original equations and solve for a.
2a + 3(3) = 1
2a + 9 = 1
2a = -8
a = -4
(-4,3)

Which of the following is the equation for the graph shown?
serious [3.7K]

The Answer is A

Explanation:

The standard form equation for an ellipse is:

(x - h)² / a² + (y - k)² / b² = 1

So looking at the picture above you can see that the center of the ellipse is at the origin which is (0;0) making both h and k zero.

It is then observed that the x-intercepts are at 12 meaning a=12 and y- intercepts are at approximately square root of 95 which is 9.746... which are 'k'

So you can conclude by saying that:

x²/12² + y²/(sqrt of 95)² = 1

then giving you the answer of A which is:

x²/144 + y²/95 = 1

The cost of 12 pencils is rupees 37 4 by 5 find the cost of one pencil​
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

Cost of 12 pencils = 37 4/5 = 189/5

Cost of 1 pencil = 189/5 ÷ 12

= 189/5 x 1/12 = 189/60 = 63/20 = 3 3/20

So required answer is 3 3/20

Hope This Helps You!
