In a Harris poll of 514 human resource professionals, 90% said that the appearance of a job applicant is most important for a good first impression. Among the 514 human resource professionals who were surveyed, how many of them said that the appearance of a job applicant is most important for a good first impression? Construct a 99% confidence interval estimate of the proportion of all human resource professionals believing that the appearance of a job applicant is most important for a good first impression. Repeat part (b) using a confidence level of 80%. Compare the confidence levels from parts (b) and (c) and identify the interval that is wider. Why is it wider?

( a ) 463 " human resource professionals " believe that the appearance of a job applicant is most important for a good first impression

( b )  Percent wise the confidence interval should be from about 86.6% to 93.4%

Step-by-step explanation:

I believe these first two parts here is sufficient enough to get you started!

" In a Harris poll of 514 human resource professionals, 90% said that the appearance of a job applicant is most important for a good first impression. Part A: Among the 514 human resource professionals who were surveyed, how many of them said that the appearance of a job applicant is most important for a good first impression?

Part B: Construct a 99% confidence interval estimate of the proportion of all human resource professionals believing that the appearance of a job applicant is most important for a good first impression. "

_____

( a ) We are given that n = 514, and p = 90%. The number of human resource professionals that said that the appearance of a job applicant is most important for a good first impression, should be the following -

514 x

=

= 462.6

As the count of people can't be expressed as a fraction, the solution should be about 463 " human resource professionals. "

_____

( b ) Here the confidence level is 0.99 percent. Knowing that -

1 - ∝ = 0.99,

∝ = 1 - 0.99... = 0.01

Therefore, a 99% confidence interval estimate of the proportion of all human resource professionals believing that the appearance of a job applicant is most important for a good first impression should be calculated as directed in the attachment. By that the interval ranges as such -

0.8659 < p < 0.9341

And percent wise the confidence interval should be from about 86.6% to 93.4%

the correct option is 2.

step-by-step explanation:

according to the given information triangle abc is a right angle triangle with right angle at a. segment ab is 5 and segment ac is 7. point d is on segment bc and angles adb and adc are right angles.

it is given that triangles abd, cad, and cba are similar.

two triangles are similar if their corresponding sides are proportional.

in triangle cba, using pythagoras theorem

                      )

triangle abd and cba are similar,

                            (2)

triangle cad and cba are similar,

                      )

using (1), (2) and (3), we get

hence proved.

therefore option 2 is correct.

hello!

to begin with, we're given that on earth, a rock weighs 20 pounds, and while on jupiter, that same rock weighs 42 pounds. now, we're trying to find the weight of a rock that weighs 10.5 pounds on earth, on jupiter.

to solve this, first, set up a proportion, cross-multiply, and solve it algebraically.

setting up the proportion is the hardest and the most confusing part of the problem, but it's simple.

if on earth, the rock weighs 20 lbs, and on jupiter it weighs 42 lbs, our first part of our proportion is 20/42 lbs. the second part has to be equal to each other. this means that 10.5 has to be on the numerator of the fraction, and x, the value we're trying to find, has to be on the denominator. remember that the rock weighs 10.5 lbs on earth, and we're trying to find the weight of it on jupiter (which is x).

20/42 = 10.5/x

next, you would cross-multiply.

20x = 42(10.5)

20x = 441

now, solve it algebraically by using division.

x = 22.05 lbs

this can be rounded to 22.1 lbs.

therefore, the weight of the rock on jupiter is 22.1 lbs, the fourth choice.
