Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
a) Sample statistics are used to estimate population value. Since 48% is a sample proportion, therefore, it is a sample statistic.
b) For 95% confidence level, z* = 1.96.
\hat{p}\pm z^* \sqrt{\frac{\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})}{n}}= 0.61\pm 0.61\sqrt{\frac{0.61(1-0.61)}{1578}}=0.61\pm 0.024 \ or (0.586, 0.634).
We are 95% confident that the true proportion of US residents who think marijuana should be made legal lies between 58.6% and 63.4%.
c)
\\np=1578(0.61)=962.58
\\n(1-p)=1578(1-0.61)=615.42
Since both np and n(1-p), are at least 10, the normal model is a good approximation for these data.
d) As the lower limit of confidence interval is less than 0.5, less than 50% population is also a plausible value of true proportion. This means the statement "Majority of Americans think marijuana should be legalized" is not justified.
Answer:
Given that,
My cupcake recipe makes $12$ cupcakes and requires $1\frac12$ sticks of butter. I can only buy whole sticks of butter.
Therefore, 1 whole sticks of butter is enough to make $100$ cupcakes.
Answer:
The constant term in the function is 5
Step-by-step explanation:
we have
where
b is the y-intercept or the constant term of the function
Remember that
The x-intercept is the value of x when the value of the function is equal to zero
so
For x=-3 ----> f(x)=0
For x=-5 ----> f(x)=0
substitute any of the intercepts in the function
For x=-3
Verify with the other intercept
For x=-5
---> is true
therefore
The constant term in the function is 5
