Suppose that a local TV station conducts a survey of a random sample of 120 registered voters in order to predict the winner of a local election. The Democrat candidate was favored by 62 of the respondents.
Required:
a. Construct and interpret a 99% CI for the true proportion of voters who prefer the Republican candidate.
b. If a candidate needs a simple majority of the votes to win the election, can the Republican candidate be confident of victory? Justify your response with an appropriate statistical argument.
Answer:
a) The 99% CI for the true proportion of voters who prefer the Republican candidate is (0.3658, 0.6001). This means that we are 99% sure that the true population proportion of all voters who prefer the Republican candidate is (0.3658, 0.6001).
b) The upper bound of the confidence interval is above 0.5 = 50%, which meas that the candidate can be confidence of victory.
Step-by-step explanation:
Question a:
In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of [tex]\pi[/tex], and a confidence level of [tex]1-\alpha[/tex], we have the following confidence interval of proportions.
[tex]\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]
In which
z is the z-score that has a p-value of [tex]1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}[/tex].
Sample of 120 registered voters in order to predict the winner of a local election. The Democrat candidate was favored by 62 of the respondents.
So 120 - 62 = 58 favored the Republican candidate, so:
[tex]n = 120, \pi = \frac{58}{120} = 0.4833[/tex]
99% confidence level
So [tex]\alpha = 0.01[/tex], z is the value of Z that has a p-value of [tex]1 - \frac{0.01}{2} = 0.995[/tex], so [tex]Z = 2.575[/tex].
The lower limit of this interval is:
[tex]\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.4833 - 2.575\sqrt{\frac{0.4833*0.5167}{120}} = 0.3658[/tex]
The upper limit of this interval is:
[tex]\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.4833 + 2.575\sqrt{\frac{0.4833*0.5167}{120}} = 0.6001[/tex]
The 99% CI for the true proportion of voters who prefer the Republican candidate is (0.3658, 0.6001). This means that we are 99% sure that the true population proportion of all voters who prefer the Republican candidate is (0.3658, 0.6001).
b. If a candidate needs a simple majority of the votes to win the election, can the Republican candidate be confident of victory? Justify your response with an appropriate statistical argument.
The upper bound of the confidence interval is above 0.5 = 50%, which meas that the candidate can be confidence of victory.

Find the value of y.
9514 1404 393
Answer:
(d) 6√3
Step-by-step explanation:
There are several ways to work multiple-choice problems. One of the simplest is to choose the only answer that makes any sense. Here, that is 6√3.
y is the hypotenuse of the medium-sized right triangle, so will be longer than that triangle's longest leg. y > 9
The only answer choice that meets this requirement is ...
y = 6√3
__
In this geometry, all of the right triangles are similar. This means corresponding sides have the same ratio. For y, we're interested in the ratio of long leg to hypotenuse.
long leg/hypotenuse = y/(9+3) = 9/y
y² = 9(9+3) = 9·4·3
y = 3·2·√3 . . . . . . take the square root
y = 6√3
__
Additional comments
You may notice that y is the root of the product of the longer hypotenuse segment (9) and the whole hypotenuse (9+3 = 12). We can say that y is the "geometric mean" of these segment lengths. Similarly (pun only partially intended), x will be the root of the product of the short segment (3) and the whole hypotenuse (12)
x = √(3·12) = 6
This is another "geometric mean" relation.
Further, the altitude will be the geometric mean of the two segments of the hypotenuse:
h = √(9·3) = 3√3
A way to summarize all of these relations is to say that the legs of the right triangle that are not the hypotenuse are equal to the geometric mean of the segments of the hypotenuse that the leg intercepts.
x = √(3·12)
y = √(9·12)
h = √(3·9)
State if the scenario involves a permutation or a combination. Then find the number of possibilities.
A team of 15 basketball players needs to choose two players to refill the water cooler.
Permutation/Combination:
Answer:
Answer:
Permutation ; 210 ways
Step-by-step explanation:
Permutation and combination methods refers to mathematical solution to finding the number of ways of making selection for a group of objects.
Usually, selection process whereby the order of selection does not matter are being treated using permutation, while those which takes the order of selection into cognizance are calculated using combination.
Here, selecting 2 players from 15 ; since order does not matter, we use permutation ;
Recall :
nPr = n! ÷ (n - r)!
Hence,
15P2 = 15! ÷ (15 - 2)!
15P2 = 15! ÷ 13!
15P2 = (15 * 14) = 210 ways
An education researcher would like to test whether 2nd graders retain or lose knowledge during the summer when they are presumably not in school. She asks nine 2nd graders to take a comprehension exam at the end of the school year (May), and then asks those same students to come back after the summer (late August) to retake a different but equivalent exam, to see if their level of comprehension has changed. Using the data below, test this hypothesis using an (alpha level of 0.05.)
May August

What is the appropirate test?
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Given the data:

72 80
78 95
50 65
89 85
92 98
75 70
90 96
65 87
The appropriate test is a paired t test :
d = difference between May and August
d = (-5, -8, -17, -15, 4, -6, 5, -6, -22)
The hypothesis :
H0 : μd = 0
H1 : μd ≠ 0
The test statistic :
T = dbar / (Sdbar/√n)
Where, dbar and Sdbar are the mean and standard deviation of 'd' respectively.
Using calculator :
dbar = - 7.777 ; Sdbar = 9.052
Test statistic = - 7.777 / (9.052 /√9)
Test statistic = - 2.577
The Pvalue, df = n - 1 = 9 - 1 = 8
Pvalue(-2.577, 8) = 0.0327
At α = 0.05
Pvalue < α ; WE reject the H0 ; and conclude that there has been a change in score
If A is the center of the circle, then which statement explains how segment GH is related to segment FH? Circle A with inscribed triangle EFG; point D is on segment EF, point H is on segment GF, segments DA and HA are congruent, and angles EDA and GHA are right angles.
Answer:
I can say for sure that the answer is not segment GH ≅ segment FH because the tangents that create the segment FG share a common endpoint. I believe the answer is segment GH ≅ segment FH because arc EF ≅ arc GF.
Step-by-step explanation:
Again, I'm not sure about the correct answer but I know for sure it isn't segment GH ≅ segment FH because the tangents that create the segment FG share a common endpoint.
The segment GH and the segment FH are equal to each other because the line AH is coming from the center of the circle and is bisecting the line GF.
What is a circumscribed circle?
The circumcenter of a triangle can be constructed by drawing any two of the three perpendicular bisectors. For three non-collinear points, these two lines cannot be parallel, and the circumcenter is the point where they cross.
Any point on the bisector is equidistant from the two points that it bisects, from which it follows that this point, on both bisectors, is equidistant from all three triangle vertices
Hence the segment GH and the segment FH are equal to each other because the line AH is coming from the center of the circle and is bisecting the line GF.

In my town, it's rainy one third of the days. Given that it is rainy, there will be heavy traffic with probability 1/2, and given that it is not rainy, there will be heavy traffic with probability 1/4. If it's rainy and there is heavy traffic, I arrive late for work with probability 1/2. On the other hand, the probability of being late is reduced to 1/8 if it is not rainy and there is no heavy traffic. In other situations (rainy and no traffic, not rainy and traffic) the probability of being late is 0.25. You pick a random day.
a. What is the probability that it’s not raining and there is heavy traffic and I am not late?
b. What is the probability that I am late?
c. Given that I arrived late at work, what is the probability that it rained that day?
Answer:
a) 0.125 = 12.5% probability that it’s not raining and there is heavy traffic and I am not late.
b) 0.2292 = 22.92% probability that I am late.
c) 0.5454 = 54.54% probability that it rained that day.
Step-by-step explanation:
Conditional Probability
We use the conditional probability formula to solve this question. It is
[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}[/tex]
In which
P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened.
[tex]P(A \cap B)[/tex] is the probability of both A and B happening.
P(A) is the probability of A happening.
Question a:
2/3 probability of not raining.
If not raining, 1/4 probability of heavy traffic.
1 - 0.25 = 0.75 = 3/4 probability of not late.
So
[tex]p = \frac{2}{3} \times \frac{1}{4} \times \frac{3}{4} = \frac{2}{16} = 0.125[/tex]
0.125 = 12.5% probability that it’s not raining and there is heavy traffic and I am not late.
b. What is the probability that I am late?
0.5 of (1/3)*(1/2) = 1/6(rainy and heavy traffic).
0.25 of (1/3)*(1/2) = 1/6(rainy and no traffic).
1/8 = 0.125 of (2/3)*(3/4) = 1/2(not rainy and no traffic).
0.25 of (2/3)*(1/4) = 1/6(not rainy and traffic). So
[tex]P(A) = 0.5\frac{1}{6} + 0.25\frac{1}{6} + 0.125\frac{3}{6} + 0.25\frac{1}{6} = \frac{0.5 + 0.25 + 3*0.125 + 0.25}{6} = 0.2292[/tex]
0.2292 = 22.92% probability that I am late.
c. Given that I arrived late at work, what is the probability that it rained that day?
Event A: Late
Event B: Rained
0.2292 = 22.92% probability that I am late.
This means that [tex]P(A) = 0.2292[/tex]
Probability of late and rain:
0.5 of 1/6(rain and heavy traffic).
0.25 of 1/6(rain and no traffic). So
[tex]P(A \cap B) = 0.5\frac{1}{6} + 0.25\frac{1}{6} = \frac{0.5 + 0.25}{6} = \frac{0.75}{6} = 0.125[/tex]
Probability:
[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.125}{0.2292} = 0.5454[/tex]
0.5454 = 54.54% probability that it rained that day.

The quadratic equation x^2 + 3x + 50 = 0 has roots r and s. Find a quadratic equation whose roots are r^2 and s^2.
Answer:
x^2 + 91x + 2500
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
x^2 + 3x + 50
(x-r)(x-s)
-> x^2-(r+s)x+rs
rs = 50, r + s = -3
-> (rs)^2 = 2500
(r+s)^2 = 9
-> r^2 + 2rs + s^2 = 9
-> r^2 + 2(50) + s^2 = 9
-> r^2 + s^2 + 100 = 9
-> r^2 + s^2 = -91
(x-r^2)(x-s^2)
-> x^2-(r^2+s^2)x+(rs)^2
-> x^2 - (-91)x + 2500
x^2 + 91x + 2500

The 3rd and 7th terms of an arithmetic progression are 6and 30 respectively determine the common difference, first term,10th term.
Answer:
d = 6 , a₁ = - 6 and a₁₀ = 48
Step-by-step explanation:
The nth term of an arithmetic progression is
[tex]a_{n}[/tex] = a₁ + (n - 1)d
where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference
Given a₃ = 6 and a₇ = 30 , then
a₁ + 2d = 6 → (1)
a₁ + 6d = 30 → (2)
Subtract (2) from (1) term by term to eliminate a₁
4d = 24 ( divide both sides by 4 )
d = 6
Substitute d = 6 into (1)
a₁ + 2(6) = 6
a₁ + 12 = 6 ( subtract 12 from both sides )
a₁ = - 6
Then
a₁₀ = - 6 + (9 × 6) = - 6 + 54 = 48
----------------------------------------------------
Answer:
d=6
a=-6
Step-by-step explanation:
use the formula for the nth term which is
Tn=a+(n-1)d..you will have to create two equations then solve them as a simultaneous equation
T3=6 and T7=30
T3=a+(3-1)d
6=a+2d........... first equation
T7=a+(7-1)d
30=a+6d.......... second equation
then solve them as a simultaneous equation
a+2d=6
a+6d=30
-4d/-4=-24/-4
d=6
a+2d=6
a+2(6)=6
a=6-12
a=-6

Step-by-step explanation:
What is the distance between the following points?
WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST
Answer:
D.√85
Step-by-step explanation:
We can find the distance between two points using the distance between two points formula
Distance between two points formula:
d = √(x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²
Where the x and y values are derived from the given points
We are given the two points (-2,7) and (7,9)
Using these points let's define the variables ( variables are x1, x2, y1, and y2)
Remember points are written as follows (x,y)
The x value of the first point is -2 so x1 = -2
The x value of the second point is 7 so x2 = 7
The y value of the first point is 7 so y1 = 7
The y value of the second point is 9 so y2 = 9
Now that we have defined each variable let's find the distance between the two points
We can do this by substituting the values into the formula
Formula: d = √(x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²
Variables: x1 = -2, x2 = 7, y1 = 7, y2 = 9
Substitute values in formula
d = √(7 - (-2))² + (9 - 7)²
Evaluation:
The two negative signs cancel out on 7-(-2) and it changes to +7
d = √ (7+2)² + (9-7)²
Add 7+2 and subtract 9 and 7
d = √ (9)² + (2)²
Simplify exponents 9² = 81 and 2² = 4
We then have d = √ 81 + 4
Finally we add 81 and 4
We get that the distance between the two points is √85

Find f such that f'(x) = 8x – 3. f(4) = 0
Answer: y=29 / (4,29)
Step-by-step explanation:
By graphing [tex]f(x)=8x-3[/tex] and [tex]f(4)=0[/tex] on Desmos. You'll be able to find that when x is 4, y is 29.
Similarly, you can plugin 4 into the original equation ([tex]f(x)=8x-3[/tex]) Which looks like:
[tex]8(4)-3\\32-3=29[/tex]
Additionally, you can change [tex]f(x)=[/tex] to [tex]y=[/tex] as it is the exact same thing. With that in mind, you can do the same with [tex]f(x)=0[/tex] and just change it to x=4. As you're wanting to know what the y-value is when x=4.
Answer:
4x²-3x+c is our original equation
Step-by-step explanation:
we have an independent number I called this number c
put 4 from x and try to find c
f(4)=4*(4²)-3*(4)+c=0
we have to be careful about f(4) is 0
64-12+c=0 and c is -52 so our original equation is 4x²-3x-52
