The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) includes a "long-term trend" study that tracks reading and mathematics skills over time, and obtains demographic information. In the 2012 study, a random sample of 9000 17-year-old students was selected.24 The NAEP sample used a multistage design, but the overall effect is quite similar to an SRS of 17-year-olds who are still in school. In the sample, 51% of students had at least one parent who was a college graduate. Estimate, with 99% confidence, the proportion of all 17-year-old students in 2012 who had at least one parent graduate from college.

The 99% confidence interval estimate for the proportion of all 17-year-old students in 2012 who had at least one parent graduate from college is (0.4964, 0.5236).

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 .

Sample of 9000, 51% of students had at least one parent who was a college graduate.

This means that

99% 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 99% confidence interval estimate for the proportion of all 17-year-old students in 2012 who had at least one parent graduate from college is (0.4964, 0.5236).

the central idea is that:

individuals should refuse to cooperate with institutions they believe unjust.

thoreau felt  that governments were more often agents of corruption than justice, even democracies, and that just because the majority feels a certain way does not make it just or correct in absolute terms. he uses the fact that slavery exists in our democracy to support this idea.

he goes on to say that, as a result, people should live true to their own internal laws regarding right and wrong, as a product of reflection and a moral life, rather than following every law that society imposes.

its kind of blurry. can you put a clearer pic?
