Answer:

7.5

Step-by-step explanation:

106% of $x = $7.95

In other words,

$\frac{106}{100}$ of $x = 7.95

Multiplying both sides of the equation by $\frac{100}{106}$

$\frac{106}{100} * \frac{100}{106}$ of x = 7.95 * $[\frac{100}{106}]$

=> x = $[\frac{750}{100}]$

=> x = $[\frac{7.50}{1}]$

=> x = 7.5

Validation: 106% of 7.5 = 7.95

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

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

So, 90% confidence interval for the population proportion, p is ;

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

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

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

= [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%.

Fynjy0 [20]

The formula used to find the length of a line segment is the same formula as the Pythagoras theorem.

We take CD as the hypotenuse of the right-angled triangle and the distance between the x-coordinates and y-coordinates as the length of two short sides.

We can write the formula as
CD = $\sqrt{( x_{1}- x_{0}) ^{2}+ ( y_{1}- y_{0}) ^{2} }$
CD = $\sqrt{(a-0)^{2}+ (b-b)^{2} }$
