The total tickets to be purchased to guarantee the win =  504 tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 :

Number of entries in the trifecta race = 9

The win is to select the first finisher, second finisher and third finisher in their proper order.

We need to find the number of tickets to be purchased to guarantee the win

Step 2 :

Number of ways to select the first finisher = 9

Number of ways to select the second finisher = 8 [the first is selected and fixed. So the number of available finishes is reduced by 1]

Number of ways to select the third finisher = 7

Hence the total tickets to be purchased to guarantee the win = 9 × 8 × 7 = 504

Step 3 :

Answer :

The total tickets to be purchased to guarantee the win =  504 tickets

Sue wants to paint the longest wall in her bedroom pink. she measured the wall and found that it is 10 feet long and 8 feet tall
jekas [21]

Answer:

Sue should buy 1.6 quart of paint.

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to find out the area of longest wall

Area =length × breadth

Area= 10 × 8 = 80 square feet

To cover 50 square feet we have required 1 quart of paint

So for covering 1 square feet we have required 1/50 quart of paint

So for covering 80 square feet we have required  ( 1×80 ) / 50 quart

= 1.6 quart of paint

A certain article indicates that in a sample of 1,000 dog owners, 610 said that they take more pictures of their dog than of the
lbvjy [14]

Answer:

(a) The 90% confidence interval is: (0.60, 0.63) Correct interpretation is (3).

(b) The 95% confidence interval is: (0.42, 0.46) Correct interpretation is (1).

(c) First, the confidence level in part(b) is <u>more than</u> the confidence level in part(a) is, so the critical value of part(b) is <u>more than</u> the critical value of part(a), Second the <u>margin of error</u> in part(b) is <u>more than</u> than in part(a).

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

Let <em>X</em> = number of dog owners who take more pictures of their dog than of their significant others or friends.

Given:

<em>X</em> = 610

<em>n</em> = 1000

Confidence level = 90%

The (1 - <em>α</em>)% confidence interval for population proportion is:

CI=\hat p\pm z_{\alpha/2} \sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}

The sample proportion is:

\hat p=\frac{X}{n}=\frac{610}{1000}=0.61

The critical value of <em>z</em> for a 90% confidence level is:

z_{\alpha/2}=z_{0.10/2}=z_[0.05}=1.645

Construct a 90% confidence interval for the population proportion of dog owners who take more pictures of their dog than their significant others or friends as follows:

CI=\hat p\pm z_{\alpha/2} \sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}\\=0.61\pm 1.645\sqrt{\frac{0.61(1-0.61}{1000}}\\=0.61\pm 0.015\\=(0.595, 0.625)\\\approx(0.60, 0.63)

Thus, the 90% confidence interval for the population proportion of dog owners who take more pictures of their dog than their significant others or friends is (0.60, 0.63).

<u>Interpretation</u>:

There is a 90% chance that the true proportion of dog owners who take more pictures of their dog than of their significant others or friends falls within the interval (0.60, 0.63).

Correct option is (3).

(b)

Let <em>X</em> = number of dog owners who are more likely to complain to their dog than to a friend.

Given:

<em>X</em> = 440

<em>n</em> = 1000

Confidence level = 95%

The (1 - <em>α</em>)% confidence interval for population proportion is:

CI=\hat p\pm z_{\alpha/2} \sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}

The sample proportion is:

\hat p=\frac{X}{n}=\frac{440}{1000}=0.44

The critical value of <em>z</em> for a 95% confidence level is:

z_{\alpha/2}=z_{0.05/2}=z_{0.025}=1.96

Construct a 95% confidence interval for the population proportion of dog owners who are more likely to complain to their dog than to a friend as follows:

CI=\hat p\pm z_{\alpha/2} \sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}\\=0.44\pm 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.44(1-0.44}{1000}}\\=0.44\pm 0.016\\=(0.424, 0.456)\\\approx(0.42, 0.46)

Thus, the 95% confidence interval for the population proportion of dog owners who are more likely to complain to their dog than to a friend  is (0.42, 0.46).

<u>Interpretation</u>:

There is a 95% chance that the true proportion of dog owners who are more likely to complain to their dog than to a friend falls within the interval (0.42, 0.46).

Correct option is (1).

(c)

The confidence interval in part (b) is wider than the confidence interval in part (a).

The width of the interval is affected by:

  1. The confidence level
  2. Sample size
  3. Standard deviation.

The confidence level in part (b) is more than that in part (a).

Because of this the critical value of <em>z</em> in part (b) is more than that in part (a).

Also the margin of error in part (b) is 0.016 which is more than the margin of error in part (a), 0.015.

First, the confidence level in part(b) is <u>more than</u> the confidence level in part(a) is, so the critical value of part(b) is <u>more than</u> the critical value of part(a), Second the <u>margin of error</u> in part(b) is <u>more than</u> than in part(a).
