.Here is a 90% confidence interval estimate of theproportion of adults who say that thelaw goes easy on celebrities: 0.645

Answers

Answer:

The best estimate of the proportion of adults who say that the law goes easy on celebrities is 0.7435.

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence interval concepts:

A confidence interval has two bounds, a lower bound and an upper bound.

A confidence interval is symmetric, which means that the point estimate used is the mid point between these two bounds, that is, the mean of the two bounds.

In this question:

CI is between 0.645 and 0.842. So the best estimate of the proportion is:

(0.645+0.842)/2 = 0.7435

The best estimate of the proportion of adults who say that the law goes easy on celebrities is 0.7435.

At an auditorium, 3 1/2 sections are filled with people watching a play. Exactly 3/5 of the people watching the play are parents. What fraction of the sections are filled with parents?

Answers

Answer:

Fraction[Total number of sections filled filled with parents] = 2¹/₁₀ section

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total number of sections filled = 3¹/₂ = 7 / 2 sections

Number of fraction parents watching play = 3/5

Find:

Fraction[Total number of sections filled filled with parents]

Computation:

Fraction[Total number of sections filled filled with parents] = Total number of sections filled x Number of fraction parents watching play

Fraction[Total number of sections filled filled with parents] = [7/2] x [3/5]

Fraction[Total number of sections filled filled with parents] = 21 / 10 sections

Fraction[Total number of sections filled filled with parents] = 2¹/₁₀ section

The probability of tails of a weighted coin is 0.58. The number of tails is noted each of the 25 times the coin is tossed. If this procedure is repeated 150 times, what type of distribution is simulated

Answers

Answer:

It is a  sampling distribution of the sample proportion for which n = 150 and p = 0.58

Step-by-step explanation:

Given -

Probability of tails of a weighted coin = 0.58

Number of tail is noted each 25 times

Repetition of procedure = 150 times

mean =  p = 0.58

SD = Sqrt {p(1-p)/n}

Substituting the given values, we get -

SD = Sqrt {0.58(1 – 0.58)/150}

=  0.04029

It is a  sampling distribution of the sample proportion for which n = 150 and p = 0.58

Answer:

The options are not given so these are the options:

- A binomial distribution with n = 25 and p = 0.58

- A binomial distribution with n = 2 and p = 0.58

- A sampling distribution of the sample proportion with n = 25 and p = 0.58  

- A sampling distribution of the sample proportion with n = 150 and p = 0.58

- There is not enough information to determine the distribution.

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is - A binomial distribution with n = 25 and p = 0.58.

The distance by road from town A to town B is 257 km. What is 50% of that distance?

Answers

Answer: 128.5km

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are given the information that the distance by road from town A to town B is 257 km. To get 50% of the distance, we simply have to multiply the distance given by 50%. This will be:

= 50% × 257km

= 50/100 × 257km

= 0.5 × 257km

= 128.5km

Therefore, 50% of the distance is 128.5km.

rounded to the nearest TENTH.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]Pr = 0.6[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Let

[tex]O \to Orange[/tex]

So:

[tex]P(O) = 25\%[/tex] --- probability of O

[tex]n=2[/tex] --- Number of spin

Using the complement rule, the probability that a spin will not land on orange is:

[tex]P(O') = 1 - P(O)[/tex]

[tex]P(O') = 1 - 25\%[/tex]

Express as decimal

[tex]P(O') = 1 - 0.25[/tex]

[tex]P(O') = 0.75[/tex]

On two spins, the probability that it will not land on orange is:

[tex]Pr = P(O') * P(O')[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]Pr = 0.75* 0.75[/tex]

[tex]Pr = 0.5625[/tex]

[tex]Pr = 0.6[/tex] --- approximated

Eight trials are simulated. The results are shown in the table.

What is the estimated margin of error, using standard deviation?

Answers

Answer:

3.33

Step-by-step explanation:

I just took the test! :D

The estimated margin of error, using standard deviation is 3.33.

What is the estimated margin of error, using standard deviation?

The margin of error shows an estimated percentage, or that surrounds a guess related to the real value of the population. For example, a confidence interval that has a margin of error tells you that your findings will be within the real population value of the time.

Typically, the higher the standard deviation, the more dispersed the data is. Understanding standard deviation is an essential part of calculating the margin of error for your data. If you do not have the value for your sample data proportion.

Standard deviation describes variability within a single sample, while standard error describes variability across multiple samples of a population. Standard deviation is a descriptive statistic that can be calculated from sample data, while standard error is an inferential statistic that can only be estimated.

A band of 17 pirates stole a sack of gold coins. When they tried to divide the fortune into equal portions, 3 coins remained. In the ensuing brawl over who should get the extra coins, one pirate was killed. The wealth was redistributed, but this time an equal division left 10 coins. Again an argument developed in which another pirate was killed. But now the total fortune was evenly distributed among the survivors. What was the least number of coins that could have been stolen

Answers

Answer:

The least number of coins that could have been stolen is 3,930.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the beginning, there are N coins to be distributed among 17 pirates, and we know that if we divide evenly these coins, there are 3 coins remaining.

Then we can write the total number of coins as a multiple of 17 plus 3.

N = 17*k + 3

where k is an integer.

After that, a pirate is killed, so now we have 16 pirates, and now there are 10 coins left, so now we can write N as a multiple of 16 plus 10:

N = 16*j + 10

where j is an integer.

Finally, having 15 pirates, the total number of coins can be divided evenly, then N is a multiple of 15

N = 15*m

where m is an integer.

So we have these 3 equations:

N = 17*k + 3

N = 16*j + 10

N = 15*m

So we can express equations like:

15*m = 16*j + 10

15*m = 17*k + 3

Where we need to find solutions such that both of these variables are integers.

For the first one we can write:

15*m - 16*j = 10

One way to do it, is to write this like a linear equation:

m = (16*j + 10)/15

Graph this, and find the pairs of points in the line that have bot integer values, or we can just find some values of j such that:

16*j + 10 is a multiple of 15.

For example, with j = 5 we have:

m = (16*5 + 10)/15 = 6

so j = 5 and m = 6 is a possible solution.

Now if we use m = 6 in the other equation:

15*m = 17*k + 3

we can see if k is also an integer:

k = (15*m - 3)/17

replacing m by 6:

k = (15*6 - 3)/17 = 5.1

This solution does not work.

Let's find others:

if j = 20  (at this point we already know that the possible values of j "jump" by 15 units, like 5 + 15 = 20) then:

m = (16*20 + 10)/15 = 22

Then:

j = 20 and  m = 22 is another solution.

Same as before, let's use m = 22 in the equation for k:

k = (15*22 - 3)/17 = 19.2

Let's find another solution for m.

if  j = 35

m = (16*35 + 10)/15 = 38

Using this value of m in the k equation we get:

k = (15*35 - 3)/17 = 33.4

Let's find another solution for m.

if we take j = 50 we get:

m = (15*50 + 10)/15 = 54

Using this in the k equation we get:

k = (15*54 - 3)/17 = 47.5

Eventually, for j = 5  + 15*16 = 245 we get:  (arrived by iteration, just try each time using the previous value of j plus 15)

m = (16*245 + 10)/15 = 262

replacing this in the k equation we can find:

k = (15*262 - 3)/17 = 231.

So the first solution is:

j = 245, m = 262, k = 231

Then:

N = 262*15 = 3,930

The least number of coins that could have been stolen is 3,930.

A box is created from a sheet of cardboard 40in. on a side by cutting a square from each corner and folding up the sides.

Let x represent the length of the sides of squares removed from each corner.

(a) The volume of a cuboid is given by :

V = lbh

Put values,

V = x(40-2x)(40-2x)

(b) (40-2x) = -2(x-20)

Cathy lives in a state where speeders are fined $15 for each mile per hour over the speed limit. Cathy was given a ticket for $105 for speeding on a road where the speed limit is 60 miles per hour. How fast was Cathy driving?

Answers

Answer:

Cathy was driving at a speed of 67 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Fined $15 for each mile per hour over the speed limit. Cathy was given a ticket for $105.

We solve this using a rule of three.

1 mile - $15

x miles - $105

Applying cross multiplication:

15x = 105

x = 105/5 = 7.

Cathy was 7 miles above the speed limit.

How fast was Cathy driving?

7 miles above the speed limit of 60 miles per hour, so 60 + 7 = 67 miles per hour.

Cathy was driving at a speed of 67 miles per hour.
