The sample survey showed that 72% of Internet users said the Internet has generally strengthened their relationship with family and friends. Develop a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of respondents who say the Internet has strengthened their relationship with family and friends.

The 95% confidence interval for the proportion of respondents who say the Internet has strengthened their relationship with family and friends is:

In which n is the sample size of the survey.

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 z-score that has a p-value of .

The sample survey showed that 72% of Internet users said the Internet has generally strengthened their relationship with family and friends.

This means that

95% confidence level

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

Confidence interval:

The 95% confidence interval for the proportion of respondents who say the Internet has strengthened their relationship with family and friends is:

In which n is the sample size of the survey.

the largest number of the four options is 1.8 x 10-2

you have it in scientific notation.

1.80 x 10-6   = 0.00000180

1.80 x 10-4   = 0.000180 (bigger, or "less small", than the former one)

so

1.8 x 10-2       = 0.0180. as you see. the "less small", or the biggest one of them all.

as you have negative exponent, it means you are dividing 1.8 by 100 (i.e. moving the dot towards left, two times).

if you had positive exponent for the scientific notation, power of tenths, you would be multiplying times 100 (moving the dot towards right) as below:

1.8 x (10)2 = 180

so. if you have negative exponent in scientific notation, move the dot toward left. if it is positive, toward right as many times the exponent tells you.
