Suppose a sample of 972972 tenth graders is drawn. Of the students sampled, 700700 read above the eighth grade level. Using the data, construct the 85%85% confidence interval for the population proportion of tenth graders reading at or below the eighth grade level. Round your answers to three decimal places.

The 85% confidence interval for the population proportion of tenth graders reading at or below the eighth grade level is (0.259, 0.301).

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of , and a confidence level of , we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

In which

z is the zscore that has a pvalue of .

For this problem, we have that:

972 students, 700 read above the eight grade level. We want the confidence interver for the proportion of those who read at or below the 8th grade level. 972 - 700 = 272, so

85% confidence level

So , z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of , so .

The lower limit of this interval is:

The upper limit of this interval is:

The 85% confidence interval for the population proportion of tenth graders reading at or below the eighth grade level is (0.259, 0.301).

a) one student is chosen from classroom a, then a student is chosen from classroom b.  

step-by-step explanation:

independent events are ones in which the probability of one event does not affect the probability of the second event.

one student is chosen from classroom a; this does not affect the chances of choosing a student from classroom b.   this makes these independent events.

when one card is chosen from a standard deck and then set aside before a second card is chosen, the probability of the second card being chosen changes.   this makes them dependent events.

when one student is chosen from classroom a and then a second student is chosen from classroom a, the probability of choosing the second student changes.   this makes them dependent events.

when a letter is chosen from the alphabet and then a second letter is chosen, the probability of choosing the second letter changes.   this makes them dependent events.

you forgot the options, but i found them anyways, the correct answer is "john wilson believes that words and actions based on the intellect are superior to those based on emotions".

john wilson is depicted as an extremely intelligent man. the point of the excerpt is to make a sort of distinction between emotional and rational intelligence. he happens to have both attributes, but he clearly favors his intellectual gifts. at the same time, because of his religious background, he's a little bit conflicted with this and it makes him ashamed.

hope this !
