One hundred rats with mothers that were exposed to high levels of tobacco smoke during pregnancy were put through a simple maze. At the outset, the maze required the rats to make a choice between going left and going right. Eighty of the tats went right when running the maze for the first time. Assume that the 100 rats can be considered an SRS from the population of all rats born to mothers who were exposed to high levels of tobacco smoke during pregnancy. (Note that this assumption may or may not be reasonable, but researchers often assume that lab rats are representative of large populations because they are often bred to have uniform characteristics.) Let p be the proportion of rats in this population that would go right when running the maze for the first time. Determine a 90% confidence interval for p. Show as much work as is possible.

The 90% confidence interval for pis (0.7342, 0.8658).

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:

100 rats mothers, 80 went right. So

90% 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 90% confidence interval for pis (0.7342, 0.8658).

step-by-step explanation:

i think something is missing in your question because y-1=(x-12) would not pass through the point (-4,-3). because if you replace x by -4 your are supposed to find y=-3 which is not the case her. if you replace x by -4 you find =-15.

i assume the right equation is y-1=1/4*(x-12) because this one is passing through both your points (if you are interested to know how i found that out i can tell you).

in this equation if i replace x by -4 i find y=-3 and if i replace x by 12, i find y=1 so the line representing this equation is passing through those 2 points.

then the standard form of the equation is finding an expression of y in function of x

y-1=1/4*(x-12)

y=x/4-3+1

y=x/4-2

hope that .

do you confirm there was a mistake in the question?
