The state education commission wants to estimate the fraction of tenth grade students that have reading skills at or below the eighth grade level. Step 2 of 2 : Suppose a sample of 292 tenth graders is drawn. Of the students sampled, 240 read above the eighth grade level. Using the data, construct the 80% confidence interval for the population proportion of tenth graders reading at or below the eighth grade level. Round your answers to three decimal places.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The 80% confidence interval for the population proportion of tenth graders reading at or below the eighth grade level is (0.149, 0.207).

Step-by-step explanation:

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 zscore that has a pvalue of [tex]1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}[/tex].

Suppose a sample of 292 tenth graders is drawn. Of the students sampled, 240 read above the eighth grade level.

So 292 - 240 = 52 read below or at eight grade level, and that [tex]n = 292, \pi = \frac{52}{292} = 0.178[/tex]

80% confidence level

So [tex]\alpha = 0.2[/tex], z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of [tex]1 - \frac{0.2}{2} = 0.9[/tex], so [tex]Z = 1.28[/tex].

The lower limit of this interval is:

[tex]\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.178 - 1.28\sqrt{\frac{0.178*0.822}{292}} = 0.149[/tex]

The upper limit of this interval is:

[tex]\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.178 + 1.28\sqrt{\frac{0.178*0.822}{292}} = 0.207[/tex]

The 80% confidence interval for the population proportion of tenth graders reading at or below the eighth grade level is (0.149, 0.207).

The length of time required for the periodic maintenance of an automobile or another machine usually has a mound-shaped probability distribution. Because some occasional long service times will occur, the distribution tends to be skewed to the right. Suppose that the length of time required to run a 5000-mile check and to service an automobile has mean 1.4 hours and standard deviation .7 hour. Suppose also that the service department plans to service 50 automobiles per 8-hour day and that, in order to do so, it can spend a maximum average service time of only 1.6 hours per automobile. On what proportion of all workdays will the service department have to work overtime?

Answers

Solution :

Mean time for an automobile to run a 5000 mile check and service = 1.4 hours

Standard deviation = 0.7 hours

Maximum average service time = 1.6 hours for one automobile

The z - score for 1.6 hours = [tex]$\frac{1.6-1.4}{0.7 / \sqrt{50}}$[/tex]

                                           = 2.02

Now checking a normal curve table the percentage of z score over 2.02 is 0.0217

Therefore the overtime that will have to be worked on only 0.217 or 2.017% of all days.

Translations, rotations, and reflections are rigid transformations. What can you conclude about the measures of sides and angles on any triangle after undergoing a series of rigid transformations? Explain.

Answers

Answer:

After a translation, the measures of the sides and angles on any triangle would be the same since translation only involves changing the coordinates of the vertices of the triangle.

After a rotation, the measures of the sides and angles of a triangle would also be the same. Similar to translation, the proportion of the triangle is unchanged after a rotation.

After a reflection, the triangle's sides and angles would still be the same since reflection is a rigid transformation and the proportion of the sides and angles are not changed.

Step-by-step explanation:

Rigid transformations, i.e. translations, rotations, and reflections, preserve the side lengths and angles of any figure. Therefore, after undergoing a series of rigid transformations, the side lengths and angle measures of any triangle will be the same as the original triangle, generally speaking, in another position.

Answer:

They are all congruent or equal. The angles and side lengths are preserved through the rigid transformations.

what directed number is suggested by the statement "I gained 3 pounds "?​

Answers

Answer:

The directed number suggested is +3.

Step-by-step explanation:

A directed number is one that has either a positive or negative sign, so that it could be easily located on the number line. Thus, the sign shows the direction of the number. Examples are: -2, -1, +5, +6 etc.

From the given question, let the initial weight be represented by W, then:

I gained 3 pounds implies at that; 3 pounds was added to my initial weight. Thus, my present weight is my initial weight + 3 pounds.

i.e I gained 3 pounds ⇒ W + 3

So that the directed number suggested by the statement is +3.

Fitness can be measured by the rate of oxygen consumption during exercises with more fit people having higher rates. Unfortunately, this measurement is quite costly to obtain, and so an experiment was done to see if this measurement could be predicted from the time it takes (in minutes) to run 1500 m. The following computer output was obtained. Which of the following is NOT CORRECT?

a. For every additional minute it takes to run the 1500 m the estimated oxygen consumption rate decreases by 3.31.
b. The fitted regression line is approximately Y = 82.42(runtime)
c. A person who runs 1500 m in 10 minutes would have an estimated oxygen consumption rate of about 50.
d. There is good evidence that there is a relationship between oxygen consumption and the run time.
e. The slope is 82.42.

Answers

Answer:

b. The fitted regression line is approximately Y = 82.42(runtime)

Step-by-step explanation:

The regression line is Y=  aX + b

here b= 82.42   a = -3.31

Hence the regression equation is

Y= 82.42- 3.31 X

where x is the runtime and the slope  is given by b.

Option  a is correct because from the above equation we see that for every additional minute it takes to run the 1500 m the estimated oxygen consumption rate decreases by 3.31.

Option b is incorrect because the runtime is not given by Y it is given by X.

Option C is correct  as  

Y= 82.42-3.31*10

Y= 82.42-33.1

Y= 49.32  almost 50

Option d is also correct that the equation line shows a relationship between oxygen consumption and the run time.

Option e is also correct because the slope is given by b and b= 82.42
