Out of 100 people sampled, 42 had kids. Based on this, construct a 99% confidence interval for the true population proportion of

maksim [4K]

Answer:

The 99% confidence interval for the true population proportion of people with kids is (0.293, 0.547).

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 $1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}$ .

Out of 100 people sampled, 42 had kids.

This means that $n = 100, \pi = \frac{42}{100} = 0.42$

99% confidence level

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

The lower limit of this interval is:

$\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.42 - 2.575\sqrt{\frac{0.42*0.58}{100}} = 0.293$

The upper limit of this interval is:

$\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.42 + 2.575\sqrt{\frac{0.42*0.58}{100}} = 0.547$

The 99% confidence interval for the true population proportion of people with kids is (0.293, 0.547).

Coach Evans recorded the height, in inches of each player on his team. The results are shown.

marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Team heights (inches):

61, 57, 63, 62, 60, 64, 60, 62, 63

To find: IQRs (interquartile ranges) of the heights for the team

Solution:

A quartile divides the number of terms in the data into four more or less equal parts that is quarters.

For a set of data, a number for which 25% of the data is less than that number is known as the first quartile $(Q_1)$

For a set of data, a number for which 75% of the data is less than that number is known as the third quartile $(Q_3)$

Terms in arranged in ascending order:

$57,60,60,61,62,62,63,63,64$

Number of terms = 9

As number of terms is odd, exclude the middle term that is 62.

$Q_1$ is median of terms $57,60,60,61$

Number of terms (n) = 4

Median = $\frac{(\frac{n}{2})^{th} +(\frac{n}{2}+1)^{th} }{2} =\frac{2^{nd}+3^{rd}}{2} =\frac{60+60}{2}=\frac{120}{2}=60$

So, $Q_1=60$

So, 25% of the heights of a team is less than 60 inches

$Q_3$ is the median of terms $62,63,63,64$

Median = $\frac{(\frac{n}{2})^{th} +(\frac{n}{2}+1)^{th} }{2} =\frac{2^{nd}+3^{rd}}{2} =\frac{63+63}{2}=\frac{126}{2}=63$

So, $Q_3=63$

So, 75% of the heights of a team is less than 63 inches

Interquartile range = $Q_3-Q_1=63-60=3$

The interquartile range is a measure of variability on dividing a data set into quartiles.

The interquartile range is the range of the middle 50% of the terms in the data.

So, 3 is the range of the middle 50% of the heights of the students.

(Angle/triangle problem 25points)<br> What is the value of X?

Serhud [2]

Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the 3 angles in a triangle = 180°

Sum the 3 angles in the triangle and equate to 180, that is

10x - 4 + 8x + 3 + 91 = 180

18x + 90 = 180 ( subtract 90 from both sides )

18x = 90 ( divide both sides by 18 )

x = 5
