Answer:

7.4%

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential growth/decay is modeled as:

A = P(1+r)^t

where A is the final amount, P is the initial amount, r is the rate, and t is time.

If t = 0 represents 2015, and t = 2 represents 2017, then:

26000 = P(1+r)^0

30000 = P(1+r)^2

(1+r)^0 = 1, so P = 26000.  Substituting:

30000 = 26000(1+r)^2

1.154 = (1+r)^2

1.074 = 1+r

r = 0.074

The rate of increase is 7.4%.

Several years​ ago, 39​% of parents who had children in grades​ K-12 were satisfied with the quality of education the students r
BaLLatris [955]
<h2>Answer with explanation:</h2>

Let p be the population proportion  of parents who had children in grades​ K-12 were satisfied with the quality of education the students receive.

Given : Several years​ ago, 39​% of parents who had children in grades​ K-12 were satisfied with the quality of education the students receive.

Set hypothesis to test :

H_0: p=0.39\\\\H_a :p\neq0.39

Sample size : n= 1055

Sample proportion : \hat{p}=\dfrac{466}{1055}=0.441706161137\approx0.44

Critical value for 95% confidence : z_{\alpha/2}=1.96

Confidence interval : \hat{p}\pm z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}

0.44\pm (1.96)\sqrt{\dfrac{0.39(1-0.39)}{1055}}\\\\0.44\pm0.0299536805135\\\\0.44\pm0.03\\\\=(0.44-0.03, 0.44+0.03)\\\\=(0.41,\ 0.47)

Since , Confidence interval does not contain 0.39.

It means we reject the null hypothesis.

We conclude that 95​% confidence interval represents evidence that​ parents' attitudes toward the quality of education have changed.
