The state education commission wants to estimate the fraction of tenth grade students that have reading skills at or below the eighth grade level. Step 2 of 2 : Suppose a sample of 292 tenth graders is drawn. Of the students sampled, 240 read above the eighth grade level. Using the data, construct the 80% confidence interval for the population proportion of tenth graders reading at or below the eighth grade level. Round your answers to three decimal places.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The 80% confidence interval for the population proportion of tenth graders reading at or below the eighth grade level is (0.149, 0.207).

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of [tex]\pi[/tex], and a confidence level of [tex]1-\alpha[/tex], we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

[tex]\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]

In which

z is the zscore that has a pvalue of [tex]1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}[/tex].

Suppose a sample of 292 tenth graders is drawn. Of the students sampled, 240 read above the eighth grade level.

So 292 - 240 = 52 read below or at eight grade level, and that [tex]n = 292, \pi = \frac{52}{292} = 0.178[/tex]

80% confidence level

So [tex]\alpha = 0.2[/tex], z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of [tex]1 - \frac{0.2}{2} = 0.9[/tex], so [tex]Z = 1.28[/tex].

The lower limit of this interval is:

[tex]\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.178 - 1.28\sqrt{\frac{0.178*0.822}{292}} = 0.149[/tex]

The upper limit of this interval is:

[tex]\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.178 + 1.28\sqrt{\frac{0.178*0.822}{292}} = 0.207[/tex]

The 80% confidence interval for the population proportion of tenth graders reading at or below the eighth grade level is (0.149, 0.207).

Answers

Answer:

f(x) = -4x² - 24x - 38

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x )= -4(x + 3)² – 2

Expand the squared term

f(x) = -4 (x² + 6x + 9) - 2

Distribute the -4

f(x) = (-4x² - 24x - 36) - 2

Combine like terms

Answers

Answer:

The surface area is [tex]325.4m^2[/tex]

The lateral surface area is: [tex]292.4m^2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]L = 3m[/tex] -- Length

[tex]H =17.2m[/tex] --- Height

[tex]W = 5.5m[/tex] --- Width

See attachment for prism

Solving (a): The surface area

This is calculated as:

[tex]S.A = 2 * (LW + WH + LH)[/tex]

This gives:

[tex]S.A = 2 * (3*17.2 + 17.2 * 5.5 + 3 * 5.5)[/tex]

[tex]S.A = 2 * (51.6 + 94.6 + 16.5)[/tex]

[tex]S.A = 2 * 162.7[/tex]

[tex]S.A = 325.4m^2[/tex]

Solving (b): The lateral surface area

This is calculated as:

[tex]L = 2 * (L + W) * H[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]L = 2 * (3 +5.5) * 17.2[/tex]

[tex]L = 2 * 8.5 * 17.2[/tex]

[tex]L = 292.4m^2[/tex]

In an article by researchers Meehl and Rosen (Psychological Bulletin, 1955), a diagnostic test was examined for detecting psychological adjustment in soldiers. A positive result indicates the solder is mal-adjusted whereas a negative result indicates well-adjusted. For soldiers known to be well-adjusted, the test gives a positive result 19% of the time. For soldiers known to be mal-adjusted, the test gives a positive result 55% of the time. The researchers believed that 5% of all soldiers are mal-adjusted. Suppose a soldier is selected at random and they test positive. What is the probability that soldier is mal-adjusted

Answers

Answer:

0.1322 = 13.22% probability that the soldier is mal-adjusted.

Step-by-step explanation:

Conditional Probability

We use the conditional probability formula to solve this question. It is

[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}[/tex]

In which

P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened.

[tex]P(A \cap B)[/tex] is the probability of both A and B happening.

P(A) is the probability of A happening.

In this question:

Event A: Positive test

Event B: Soldier is mal-adjusted.

Probability of a positive test:

55% of 5%(mal-adjusted).

19% of 100 - 5 = 95%(well adjusted). So

[tex]P(A) = 0.55*0.05 + 0.19*0.95 = 0.208[/tex]

Probability of a positive test and soldier being mal-adjusted.

55% of 5%. So

[tex]P(A \cap B) = 0.55*0.05 = 0.0275[/tex]

What is the probability that the soldier is mal-adjusted?

[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.0275}{0.208} = 0.1322[/tex]

0.1322 = 13.22% probability that the soldier is mal-adjusted.

As we know that

Z score = (Observed value - mean) ÷ standard deviation

= (105 - 102) ÷ 2.9

= 1.03

The circumference of a circular painting is 40.82 feet. What is the radius of the painting? Use 3.14 for pie and do not round your answer.

Answers

Answer:

The radius is equal to 6.5 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this we need to know that circumference equals 2πr (where "r" is the radius). Therefore, we can make the following equation...

2πr = 40.82

πr = 20.41

3.14r = 20.41

r = 6.5

Now we know that the radius is equal to 6.5 feet.

find mHK please help

Answers

Answer:

66°

Step-by-step explanation:

When a radius(diameter in this case) is perpendicular to a chord, it bisects the chord and the arc formed by the chord. Because of this, we can say mHJ is equal to mKJ. We can write an equation:

mHJ = mKJ

and substitute:

x + 20 = 6x - 45

20 = 5x - 45

65 = 5x

x = 13

mHK is the sum of mHJ and mKJ, we can write mHK as the expression:

x + 20 + 6x - 45

7x - 25

We can substitute x:

7(13) - 25

91 - 25

A. 52.36 inches
B. 75.4 inches
C. 0.1308 inches
D. 3000 inches

Answers

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Arc length is given by the formula:

[tex]\displaystyle s=2\pi r\frac{\theta}{360^\circ}[/tex]

Where r is the radius and θ is the central angle, in degrees.

The windshield wiper has a radius of 20 inches and a central angle of 150°. Hence:

[tex]\displaystyle s=2\pi (20)\left(\frac{150}{360}\right)[/tex]

Use a calculator:

[tex]\displaystyle s=\frac{50}{3}\pi \approx52.36\text{ inches}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the rate of the table is given by the expression,

For table A,

    x              y                 [tex]\triangle y[/tex]                   [tex]\triangle x[/tex]          [tex]\frac{\triangle y}{\triangle x}[/tex]

    3             15           15 - 10 = 5        3 - 2 = 1      [tex]\frac{5}{1}=5[/tex]

    5             20          20 - 15 = 5       5 - 3 = 2     [tex]\frac{5}{2}=2.5[/tex]

    8             25          25 - 20 = 5      8 - 5 = 3     [tex]\frac{5}{3}=1.67[/tex]

Therefore, rate is not constant in this table.

For table B

    x              y                 [tex]\triangle y[/tex]                   [tex]\triangle x[/tex]          [tex]\frac{\triangle y}{\triangle x}[/tex]

    5             15           15 - 9 = 6        3 - 5 = 2      [tex]\frac{6}{2}=3[/tex]

    8             24          24 - 15 = 9       8 - 5 = 3     [tex]\frac{9}{3}=3[/tex]

   10             30          30 - 24 = 6     10 - 8 = 2     [tex]\frac{6}{2}=3[/tex]

Therefore, table B shows a constant rate of 3.

Option B is the correct option.
