Answer:

$\hat p =\frac{X}{n}$

And replacing we got:

$\hat p =\frac{132}{146}= 0.904$

And for this case the standard error assuming normality would be given by:

$SE= \sqrt{\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{n}}$

And replacing we got:

$SE= \sqrt{\frac{0.904*(1-0.904)}{146}}= 0.024$

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem we know the following notation:

$n= 146$ represent the sample size selected

$X= 132$ represent the number of airplane travelers who after a flight would fly that airline again

The estimated proportion for this case would be:

$\hat p =\frac{X}{n}$

And replacing we got:

$\hat p =\frac{132}{146}= 0.904$

And for this case the standard error assuming normality would be given by:

$SE= \sqrt{\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{n}}$

And replacing we got:

$SE= \sqrt{\frac{0.904*(1-0.904)}{146}}= 0.024$

Michael earns $21 per hour and works 40 hours per week. How many overtime hours would he have to worky in a week for his time-an

Alex73 [517]

Answer:

27 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

The regular hours are paid normally, 21/hr hence working for 40 hours, Michael earns 40*21=$840

To work x hours paid overtime as 1.5 of the normal rate, the rate would be $21*1.5=$31.5/hr

X hours multiplied by rate of $31.5/hr should be at least equal to $840

31.5x>=840

X>=840/31.5>=26.6667 hours and when rounded off

X is 27 hours

Among a simple random sample of 331 American adults who do not have a four-year college degree and are not currently enrolled in

Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

(1) Therefore, a 90% confidence interval for the proportion of Americans who decide to not go to college because they cannot afford it is [0.4348, 0.5252].

(2) We can be 90% confident that the proportion of Americans who choose not to go to college because they cannot afford it is contained within our confidence interval

(3) A survey should include at least 3002 people if we wanted the margin of error for the 90% confidence level to be about 1.5%.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a simple random sample of 331 American adults who do not have a four-year college degree and are not currently enrolled in school, 48% said they decided not to go to college because they could not afford school.

Firstly, the pivotal quantity for finding the confidence interval for the population proportion is given by;

P.Q. = $\frac{\hat p-p}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ ~ N(0,1)

where, $\hat p$ = sample proportion of Americans who decide to not go to college = 48%

n = sample of American adults = 331

p = population proportion of Americans who decide to not go to

college because they cannot afford it

<em>Here for constructing a 90% confidence interval we have used a One-sample z-test for proportions.</em>

<em />

<u>So, 90% confidence interval for the population proportion, p is ;</u>

P(-1.645 < N(0,1) < 1.645) = 0.90 {As the critical value of z at 5% level

of significance are -1.645 & 1.645}

P(-1.645 < $\frac{\hat p-p}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ < 1.645) = 0.90

P( $-1.645 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ < $\hat p-p$ < $1.645 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ ) = 0.90

P( $\hat p-1.645 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ < p < $\hat p+1.645 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ ) = 0.90

<u>90% confidence interval for p</u> = [ $\hat p-1.645 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ , $\hat p+1.645 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ ]

= [ $0.48 -1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{0.48(1-0.48)}{331} } }$ , $0.48 +1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{0.48(1-0.48)}{331} } }$ ]

= [0.4348, 0.5252]

(1) Therefore, a 90% confidence interval for the proportion of Americans who decide to not go to college because they cannot afford it is [0.4348, 0.5252].

(2) The interpretation of the above confidence interval is that we can be 90% confident that the proportion of Americans who choose not to go to college because they cannot afford it is contained within our confidence interval.

3) Now, it is given that we wanted the margin of error for the 90% confidence level to be about 1.5%.

So, the margin of error = $Z_(_\frac{\alpha}{2}_) \times \sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} }$

$0.015 = 1.645 \times \sqrt{\frac{0.48(1-0.48)}{n} }$

$\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.645 \times \sqrt{0.48 \times 0.52} }{0.015}$

$\sqrt{n}$ = 54.79

n = $54.79^{2}$

n = 3001.88 ≈ 3002

Hence, a survey should include at least 3002 people if we wanted the margin of error for the 90% confidence level to be about 1.5%.

Which set of ordered pairs represents a function?

alina1380 [7]

A function is a relation for which each value from the set the first components of the ordered pairs is associated with exactly one value from the set of second components of the ordered pair.

{(2, –2), (1, 5), (–2, 2), (1, –3), (8, –1)} - it's a function

{(3, –1), (7, 1), (–6, –1), (9, 1), (2, –1)} - it's a function

{(6, 8), (5, 2), (–2, –5), (1, –3), (–2, 9)} - it's a function

{(–3, 1), (6, 3), (–3, 2), (–3, –3), (1, –1)} - it's not a function
