The yearbook committee polled 80 randomly selected students from a class of 320 ninth graders to see if they would be willing to

pay more for a yearbook if their names were printed on the front. Of the students who were surveyed, 26 of them said they would be willing to pay extra. With a desired confidence interval of 90%, which has a z*-score of 1.645, what is the margin of error of this survey? E = z* 4% 6% 8% 9%

Answer:

The margin of error is given below:

E=z \times \sqrt{\frac{\hat{p}(1-\hat{p}}{n} }

Where:

\hat{p}=\frac{26}{80}=0.325

\therefore E = z \times \sqrt{\frac{0.325(1-0.325}{80} }

                           =z \times 0.0523659

Therefore, the option E = z*6% is correct as it closest to the given answer

Answer:

9%


Find the sample size and sample proportion then multiply the sample proportion by 1-p divide the result by n take the square root of the calculated value multiply the result by the appropriate z value.

Sample size = 80 sample proportion is the number in the sample with the characteristic of interest, divided by n, so it is computed by = 26/80 = .325 or .33 The margin of error for this polling question is calculated in this matter: Z* square root of ((p(1-p)) divided by sample size=1.645* square root of (.33)(.67) divided by 80= 1.645 * 0.0526= 0.0865 or 8.7% According to this data, you conclude with 90% confidence that 33% of the students who were surveyed are willing to pay extra have a margin of error of 8.7% which rounds out to 9%

Two parallel lines are crossed by a transversal. Parallel lines r and s are cut by transversal q. On line s where it intersects
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

The value of d is 55

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

r and s are two parallel lines

q is the Transversal

uppercase left angle is 125 degrees

The bottom right angle is d degrees

To Find:

The value of d = ?

Solution:

We know that the sum of supplementary angles is 180^{\circ}

Refer the diagram below,

Now

125^{\circ} +( x )= 180^{\circ}

( x )= 180^{\circ}-125^{\circ}

( x )= 55^{\circ}

Also we know that

Alternate interior angles are formed by a transversal intersecting two parallel lines . They are located between the two parallel lines but on opposite sides of the transversal, creating two pairs (four total angles) of alternate interior angles. Alternate interior angles are congruent, meaning they have equal measure.

So d  will also be 55^{\circ}

The daily dinner bills in a local restaurant are normally distributed with a mean of $28 and a standard deviation of $6. What ar
Degger [83]

Answer:

The minimum value of the bill that is greater than 95% of the bills is $37.87.

Step-by-step explanation:

When the distribution is normal, we use the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this question, we have that:

\mu = 28, \sigma = 6

What are the minimum value of the bill that is greater than 95% of the bills?

This is the 95th percentile, which is X when Z has a pvalue of 0.95. So X when Z = 1.645.

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

1.645 = \frac{X - 28}{6}

X - 28 = 6*1.645

X = 37.87

The minimum value of the bill that is greater than 95% of the bills is $37.87.

In a certain elementary school, 52% of the students are girls. A sample of 65 students is drawn. Would it be unusual for more th
aksik [14]
P = 52% = 0.52
SE = sqrt(p(1 - p)/n) = sqrt(0.52(1 - 0.52)/65) = sqrt((0.52 x 0.48) / 65) = sqrt(0.00384) = 0.0620

Let x be a random variable representing the percent of girls in the sample, then
P(x > 0.70) = 1 - P(x < 0.70) = 1 - P(z < (0.70 - 0.52) / 0.0620) = 1 - P(z < 2.905) = 1 - 0.99816 = 0.00184

The probability that there will be more than 70% of girls in the sample is 0.00184. Therefore, it will be unusual for more than 70% of them to be girls.

saw5 [17]
To read the line plot in order to answer this question, you will need to understand that each X above the numbers represents the number of hours 1 student studied. If you count the total number of Xs, that would represent the total number of students surveyed.

The number of students that studied at least four hours, would be the number of Xs that are at 4 or above. This means there were 4 students that studied for hours or more.
