A recent taste test showed that 85% of people liked a new chicken sandwich recently added to a restaurant’s menu. The restaurant

manager claimed that only 68% liked the new sandwich. To determine whether this sample supports the population proportion of 0.85, a simulation of 100 trials is run, each with a sample size of 30 and a point estimate of 0.85. The minimum sample proportion from the simulation was 0.66 and the maximum sample proportion from the simulation was 0.88.
a) Estimate the margin of error using the half the range method.


b) Use your margin of error to find the interval estimate.


c) Based on the computed interval estimate, is the restaurant manager’s claim that 68% of people liked the new sandwich valid? Explain your answer.

Answer:

a) The margin of error = 0.11

b) The interval estimate = (0.74, 0.96)

c) Not valid because 68% = 0.68 is less than the values in the interval estimate

Step-by-step explanation:

The statistical data from the population and the simulation are;

The percentage of the people that liked the new chicken sandwich = 85% = The population proportion

The percentage the restaurant manager claims liked the new sandwich = 68%

The number of trials of the simulation = 100 trials

The sample size of each trial = 30

The point estimate of each trial = 0.85

The minimum sample proportion = 0.66

The maximum sample proportion = 0.88

a) The confidence interval = (0.66, 0.88)

By the half the range method, the margin of error is given by half the width of the confidence interval

∴ The margin of error, MOE = (0.88 - 0.66)/2 = 0.11

b) The interval estimate are the expected range of numbers for a parameters

The interval estimate = The point estimate ± MOE

∴ The interval estimate = 0.85 ± 0.11 = (0.74, 0.96)

Given that the manager's claim of 68% is not within the interval estimate, the manager's claim is not valid based on the expected values for the people that liked the new sandwich found with the point estimate and the margin of error

The point (3 , k) is a distance of 5 units from (0 , 1). Find the two possible values of k.
valkas [14]
D =√(x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2
......._____________
5 =√(3-0)^2 + (k-1)^2
.......__________
5 =√3^2 + (k-1)^2

25 = 9 + (k-1)^2

16 = k^2 - 2k + 1

k^2 -2k - 15 = 0

(k - 5)(k + 3) = 0

k - 5 = 0.....or.......(k + 3) = 0

k = 5.........or.......k = -3

Find the area of the regular polygon...<br> Uh how?
ycow [4]

Answer:

16sqrt(3) units²

Step-by-step explanation:

This shape consists of 6 congruent triangles

Each angle = (6-2)×180/6 = 120

These are 6 equilateral triangles

6(½ × 8 × 8 × sin(60)) = 16sqrt(3) units²

A triangular bookself has a base of 10 inches,12 inches and 18 inches. Will the bookself fit in the corner of a square living ro
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

No, if fit means that the sides of the book case need to be flush with the wall, which means that the sides of the bookcase are touching the wall and the bookcase fits perfectly in that spot

Step-by-step explanation:

A square room will have corners that meause 90°, so we need to see if any of the vertices of the bookcase measure 90°.  All right triangles have a 90° in them, so we can use Pythagorean Theorem to solve this.

 Pythagorean Theorem is  a² + b² = c²,    where a and b are the legs, and c is the hypotenuse.  Since the hypotenuse is always the longest side, for our bookshelf, 10 and 12 are the legs, and 18 would be the hypotenuse if it is a right triangle.   Plug the values in to see if the equation is true or false

10² + 12² = 18²

  100 + 144 = 324

     244 ≠ 324   so the bookcase does not form a right angle, and won't fit in the corner of the room
