a) $\hat p=\frac{538}{1014}=0.531$ estimated proportion of people indicated that televisions are a luxury they could do without

b) Verify that the requirements for constructing a confidence interval about p are satisfied. The sample is a simple random sample, the value of np(1-p)=1014*0.531*(1-0.531)=252.53 is, which is > 10, and the less than or equal to 5% of the population.

c) The 95% confidence interval would be given by (0.500;0.562)

B. We are 95% confident the proportion of adults in the country who believe that televisions are a luxury they could do without is between 0.500 and 0.562

d) We can say that is possible that more than 60% of adult Americans believe that television is a luxury they could do without because we need to remember that the confidence interval is just a point of estimation and iits probable that the true proportion would be not contained on the interval. But we can say that is not that likely that the true proportion is greater than 60%

e) The 95% confidence interval would be given by (0.438;0.500)

Step-by-step explanation:

Notation and definitions

X=538 number of people indicated that televisions are a luxury they could do without

n=1014 random sample taken

$\hat p=\frac{538}{1014}=0.531$ estimated proportion of people indicated that televisions are a luxury they could do without

true population proportion of people indicated that televisions are a luxury they could do without

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The population proportion have the following distribution

$p \sim N(p,\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}})$

a) $\hat p=\frac{538}{1014}=0.531$ estimated proportion of people indicated that televisions are a luxury they could do without.

c) In order to find the critical value we need to take in count that we are finding the interval for a proportion, so on this case we need to use the z distribution. Since our interval is at 95% of confidence, our significance level would be given by $\alpha=1-0.95=0.05$ and $\alpha/2 =0.025$ . And the critical value would be given by:

$z_{\alpha/2}=-1.96, z_{1-\alpha/2}=1.96$

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

$\hat p \pm z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{n}}$

If we replace the values obtained we got:

$0.531 - 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.531(1-0.531)}{1014}}=0.500$

$0.531 + 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.531(1-0.531)}{1014}}=0.562$

The 95% confidence interval would be given by (0.500;0.562)

B. We are 95% confident the proportion of adults in the country who believe that televisions are a luxury they could do without is between 0.500 and 0.562

e) The new propotion on this case would be

$\hat p =1-0.531=0.469$

$0.469 - 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.469(1-0.469)}{1014}}=0.438$

$0.469 + 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.469(1-0.469)}{1014}}=0.500$

The 95% confidence interval would be given by (0.438;0.500)

Answer from: Quest

step-by-step explanation:

let

we know that

the y-intercept is the y-coordinate of the point when the value of x is equal to zero

the y-coordinate of the point a is the y-intercept

the answer part a) is

the value of y-intercept is

part b) find the slope m

we know that

the value of the slope is equal to

substitute the values

therefore

the answer part b) is

the value of the slope is equal to

the general answer is

the slope is

the value of y-intercept is

c. x=2.4cm

step-by-step explanation:

similar triangles are triangles which have the same shape but not the same size. this means their angle measures are equal but their side lengths are not instead they are proportional. to solve, we will set up a proportion and solve.

a proportion is two equal ratios set equal to each other. we form the ratios by finding corresponding sides (sides which match to each other on both triangles by their position). out ratios will be one side of the small triangle over the corresponding side on the big triangle as shown below:

$\frac{little}{big} =\frac{side mn}{side ab}=\frac{side on}{side cb}$ .

$\frac{0.96}{1.2}=\frac{x}{3}$

to solve the proportion, we'll cross multiply by multiplying numerator with denominator across the equal sign.

$0.96(3)=1.2(x)\\2.88=1.2x\\\frac{2.88}{1.2}=\frac{1.2x}{1.2} \\2.4=x$
