Students in Mr. Hill’s class were asked how many TV shows they watched last weekend. The results are shown on the line plot.

A survey asked whether respondents favored or opposed the death penalty for people convicted of murder. Software shows the resul

Answer:

95% confidence interval for the proportion of the adults who were opposed to the death penalty is (0.668, 0.704).

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a survey asked whether respondents favored or opposed the death penalty for people convicted of murder. Software shows the results below, where X refers to the number of the respondents who were in favor.

X = 1,790

N = 2,610

$\hat p$ = Sample proportion = X/N = 0.6858

Firstly, the pivotal quantity for 95% confidence interval for the population proportion is given by;

P.Q. = $\frac{\hat p-p}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ ~ N(0,1)

where, $\hat p$ = sample proportion = 0.6858

n = sample of respondents = 2,610

p = population proportion

<em>Here for constructing 95% confidence interval we have used One-sample z proportion statistics.</em>

So, 95% confidence interval for the population proportion, p is ;

P(-1.96 < N(0,1) < 1.96) = 0.95 {As the critical value of z at

2.5% level of significance are -1.96 & 1.96}

P(-1.96 < $\frac{\hat p-p}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ < 1.96) = 0.95

P( $-1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ < ${\hat p-p}$ < $1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ ) = 0.95

P( $\hat p-1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} }$ < p < $\hat p+1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ ) = 0.95

<u>95% confidence interval for p</u> = [ $\hat p-1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} }$ , $\hat p+1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} }$ ]

= [ $0.6858-1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{0.6858(1-0.6858)}{2610} }$ , $0.6858+1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{0.6858(1-0.6858)}{2610} }$ ]

= [0.668 , 0.704]

Therefore, 95% confidence interval for the population proportion of the adults is (0.668, 0.704).

PLEASE HELP!!

slava [35]

Answer:

99 (cm^2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular to the AB segment at points D and C, the graph is divided into two triangles and a rectangle.

The area of the middle rectangle is equal to 8*9=72. The hypotenuse of the right triangle is 10cm, and one of the right sides is 9cm, so the other side is SQRT (10^2-9^2) = SQRT (19).

One side of the left triangle is 9cm long and the other side is 14-8-sqRT (19) = 6-sqRT (19) cm.

Then, add the area of the three parts.

72+9*sqrt（19）/2+9*（6-sqrt（19））/2=99 (cm^2)

Dave's favorite baseball team has won 10 fewer games than Kimiko's favorite baseball team. Write an algebraic expression for the

DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

D = K-10

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of games won by Dave's favourite basketball team be D and Kimiko's be K.

D + 10 = K

therefore,

D = K-10

CLAY A potter crafts a triangular prism out of clay.

Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

216 cm^3

Step-by-step explanation:

I am assuming this is a right triangular prism

V = area of the base * height

We need to find the area of the triangular base

A triangle = 1/2 b*h

= 1/2 (12)4

= 24

Substituting this into the volume equation

V = 24 * 9

216 cm^3
