If 1 inch is 13.5 feet, then 5 inches = (13.5 * 5) = 67.5 ft

In the following equation, when x=3, what is the value of y? -4x + 3y = 12

deff fn [24]

Answer:

y = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

-4(3) = -12

to get -12 to 12 you need to add 24 to -12 to make it 12.

so 3 (8) = 24

so -12 + 24 =12

Write an explicit formula for an , the nth term of the sequence 29, 19, 9, ....

Anna35 [415]

Answer:

$a_{n}$ = 39 - 10n

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a common difference between consecutive terms , that is

19 - 29 = 9 - 19 = - 10

This indicates the sequence is arithmetic with nth term ( expicit formula )

$a_{n}$ = a₁ + (n - 1)d

where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference

Here a₁ = 29 and d = - 10 , then

$a_{n}$ = 29 - 10(n - 1) = 29 - 10n + 10 = 39 - 10n

Answer:

We are confident at 99% that the difference between the two proportions is between $0.380 \leq p_{Republicans} -p_{Democrats} \leq 0.420$

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a

Data given and notation

$X_{D}=3266$ represent the number people registered as Democrats

$X_{R}=2137$ represent the number of people registered as Republicans

$n=7525$ sampleselcted

$\hat p_{D}=\frac{3266}{7525}=0.434$ represent the proportion of people registered as Democrats

$\hat p_{R}=\frac{2137}{7525}=0.284$ represent the proportion of people registered as Republicans

The standard error is given by this formula:

$SE=\sqrt{\frac{\hat p_D (1-\hat p_D)}{n_{D}}+\frac{\hat p_R (1-\hat p_R)}{n_{R}}}$

And the standard error estimated given by the problem is 0.008

Part b

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

$p_A$ represent the real population proportion of Democrats that approve of the way the California Legislature is handling its job

$\hat p_A =\frac{1894}{3266}=0.580$ represent the estimated proportion of Democrats that approve of the way the California Legislature is handling its job

$n_A=3266$ is the sample size for Democrats

$p_B$ represent the real population proportion of Republicans that approve of the way the California Legislature is handling its job

$\hat p_B =\frac{385}{2137}=0.180$ represent the estimated proportion of Republicans that approve of the way the California Legislature is handling its job

$n_B=2137$ is the sample for Republicans

$z$ represent the critical value for the margin of error

The population proportion have the following distribution

$p \sim N(p,\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}})$

The confidence interval for the difference of two proportions would be given by this formula

$(\hat p_A -\hat p_B) \pm z_{\alpha/2} \sqrt{\frac{\hat p_A(1-\hat p_A)}{n_A} +\frac{\hat p_B (1-\hat p_B)}{n_B}}$

For the 90% confidence interval the value of $\alpha=1-0.90=0.1$ and $\alpha/2=0.05$ , with that value we can find the quantile required for the interval in the normal standard distribution.

$z_{\alpha/2}=1.64$

And replacing into the confidence interval formula we got:

$(0.580-0.180) - 1.64 \sqrt{\frac{0.580(1-0.580)}{3266} +\frac{0.180(1-0.180)}{2137}}=0.380$

$(0.580-0.180) + 1.64 \sqrt{\frac{0.580(1-0.580)}{3266} +\frac{0.180(1-0.180)}{2137}}=0.420$

And the 99% confidence interval would be given (0.380;0.420).

We are confident at 99% that the difference between the two proportions is between $0.380 \leq p_{Republicans} -p_{Democrats} \leq 0.420$
