Answer:

The lower confidence limit of the 95% confidence interval for the population proportion of Americans who were victims of identity theft is 0.0275.

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 level of 1-\alpha, we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

In which

z is the z-score that has a p-value of 1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}.

A 2003 survey showed that 14 out of 250 Americans surveyed had suffered some kind of identity theft in the past 12 months.

This means that n = 250, \pi = \frac{14}{250} = 0.056

95% confidence level

So \alpha = 0.05, z is the value of Z that has a p-value of 1 - \frac{0.05}{2} = 0.975, so Z = 1.96.

The lower limit of this interval is:

\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.056 - 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.056*0.944}{250}} = 0.0275

The lower confidence limit of the 95% confidence interval for the population proportion of Americans who were victims of identity theft is 0.0275.

1. One way to work mixture problems like this is to consider the effect of all sales being for the smaller amount. In that case, revenue would be 135*$185 = $24,975. That is $2250 less than actual revenue. For each large system sold instead of a small one, there is $50 in additional revenue. The $2250 in additional revenue requires that 2250/50 = 45 large systems be sold.

2. We know that Rafael's overtime pay is $912.60 - 40*$14.40 = 336.60. None of the offered answers computes to the correct pay amount.  

If you made a typo and the correct total pay is $921.60, then an overtime rate of 1.5 times base pay will require 16 hours of overtime; an overtime rate of 3 times base pay will only require 8 hours of overtime. Overtime hours = $921.60/$14.40 = 64 equivalent hours. Subtracting 40 hours of straight time, the resulting product of hours and multiplier will be 64 - 40 = 24. That is it could be 16 hours at 1.5 times, or 8 hours at 3 times.

3. One of the problems here is to figure the number of hours in a month. If you consider there to be 4 1/3 weeks in a month, Robin needs to work $3280/(13/3)/14.90 = 50.80 equivalent hours. The 10.80 equivalent overtime hours will be 10.80/1.5 = 7.20 clock hours, closest to 7.25 among the answers. (Other choices for weeks/hours in a month give answers that match none of those offered.)

4. $750/$19.50 = 38.46, closest to 38.50 among the answers offered.
