A candidate for one of Ohio's two U.S. Senate seats wishes to compare her support among registered voters in the northern half of the state with her support among registered voters in the southern half of the state. A random sample of 2000 registered voters in the northern half of the state is selected, of which 1062 support the candidate. Additionally, a random sample of 2000 registered voters in the southern half of the state is selected, of which 900 support the candidate. A 95% confidence interval for the difference in proportion of registered voters that support this candidate between the northern and southern halves of the state is:

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval for the difference in proportion of registered voters that support this candidate between the northern and southern halves of the state is (0.05, 0.112).

Step-by-step explanation:

Before building the confidence interval, the central limit theorem and subtraction of normal variables is explained.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

For a proportion p in a sample of size n, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion will be approximately normal with mean [tex]\mu = p[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}[/tex]

Subtraction between normal variables:

When two normal variables are subtracted, the mean is the difference of the means, while the standard deviation is the square root of the sum of the variances.

Northern half:

1062 out of 2000, so:

[tex]p_N = \frac{1062}{2000} = 0.531[/tex]

[tex]s_N = \sqrt{\frac{0.531*0.469}{2000}} = 0.0112[/tex]

Southern half:

900 out of 2000, so:

[tex]p_S = \frac{900}{2000} = 0.45[/tex]

[tex]s_S = \sqrt{\frac{0.45*0.55}{2000}} = 0.0111[/tex]

Distribution of the difference:

[tex]p = p_N - p_S = 0.531 - 0.45 = 0.081[/tex]

[tex]s = \sqrt{s_N^2 + s_S^2} = \sqrt{0.0112^2 + 0.0111^2} = 0.0158[/tex]

Confidence interval:

The confidence interval is:

[tex]p \pm zs[/tex]

In which

z is the z-score that has a p-value of [tex]1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}[/tex].

95% confidence level

So [tex]\alpha = 0.05[/tex], z is the value of Z that has a p-value of [tex]1 - \frac{0.05}{2} = 0.975[/tex], so [tex]Z = 1.96[/tex].

The lower bound of the interval is:

[tex]p - zs = 0.081 - 1.96*0.0158 = 0.05[/tex]

The upper bound of the interval is:

[tex]p + zs = 0.081 + 1.96*0.0158 = 0.112[/tex]

The 95% confidence interval for the difference in proportion of registered voters that support this candidate between the northern and southern halves of the state is (0.05, 0.112).

Given that x : 3 : 9/2 = 15/4 : 4 1/2 : y, find the value of x and y.

Answers

Answer:

x = [tex]\frac{5}{2}[/tex] , y = [tex]\frac{27}{4}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Equate the first 2 parts of the ratios on both sides of the equation and solve for x.

Expressing the ratios in fractional form, then

[tex]\frac{x}{3}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{\frac{15}{4} }{\frac{9}{2} }[/tex] = [tex]\frac{15}{4}[/tex] × [tex]\frac{2}{9}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{5}{6}[/tex] ( cross- multiply )

6x = 15 ( divide both sides by 6 )

x = [tex]\frac{15}{6}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{5}{2}[/tex]

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Equate the last 2 parts of the ratios on both sides and solve for y

[tex]\frac{\frac{9}{2} }{y}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{3}{\frac{9}{2} }[/tex] = 3 × [tex]\frac{2}{9}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] ( cross- multiply )

2y = [tex]\frac{9}{2}[/tex] × 3 = [tex]\frac{27}{2}[/tex] ( divide both sides by 2 )

y = [tex]\frac{27}{4}[/tex]

An angle measures 89.8° more than the measure of its complementary angle. What is the measure of each angle?

Answers

Complementary angles always are 90 degrees when added to each other, so:

x = angle 1

x + 89.8 = angle 2

x + x + 89.8 = 90

2x = 90 - 89.8

2x = 0.2

x = 0.1

angle 1 = 0.1 degrees

angle 2 = 0.1 + 89.8 = 89.9 degrees

if you want to check, just sum one to the other and see if they equal 90, like this: 89.9 + 0.1 = 90

The perimeter of a rectangle is 40 inches. If the width is 9 inches, what is the area of the rectangle?

Perimeter = 2(length) + 2(width)

40 = 2(length) + 2(9)

40 = 2L + 18

40 - 18 = 2l

22 = 2l

L = 11

Area = length x width

Mahmoud earns $450 per week plus a 20% commission as a car salesman. He wants his
hourly salary to be at least $35.

Answers

The inequality that relates the number of hours to the weekly sales is:

[tex]450 + 0.20x \ge 35y[/tex]

The complete question implies that we define an inequality that represents the relationship between the number of hours worked in a week and the weekly sales

We make use of the following representation:

[tex]x \to[/tex] weekly sales from cars.

[tex]y \to[/tex] hours worked in a week

His weekly salary is then calculated as:

Salary (S) = Earnings per week + Commission * Sales from car

So, we have:

[tex]S = 450 + 20\% * x[/tex]

Express percentage as decimal

[tex]S = 450 + 0.20* x[/tex]

[tex]S = 450 + 0.20x[/tex]

Assume he works for y hours in a week.

His hourly rate is:

[tex]Hourly = \frac{S}{y}[/tex] --- i.e. weekly salary divided by number of hours

[tex]Hourly = \frac{450 + 0.20x}{y}[/tex]

For this rate to be at least [tex]\$35[/tex], the following condition must be true

[tex]Hourly \ge 35[/tex] --- i.e. is hourly rate must be greater than or equal 35

So, we have:

[tex]\frac{450 + 0.20x}{y} \ge 35[/tex]

Multiply both sides by y

[tex]450 + 0.20x \ge 35y[/tex]

If a sine curve has a vertical shift down 19 units with an amplitude of 21, what will the minimum and maximum values be? (i.e. how high and low will the graph go?)
Min Value:
Max Value:

Answers

Given:

Amplitude = 21

Vertical shift = 19 units down

To find:

The maximum and the minimum value.

Solution:

The general form of sine function is:

[tex]y=A\sin (Bx+C)+D[/tex]

Where, |A| is amplitude, [tex]\dfrac{2\pi}{B}[/tex] is period, [tex]-\dfrac{C}{B}[/tex] is phase shift and D is the vertical shift.

Here,

[tex]Maximum=D+A[/tex]

[tex]Minimum=D-A[/tex]

We have,

Amplitude: [tex]A = 21[/tex]

Vertical shift: [tex]D=-19[/tex]

Negative sign means shifts downwards.

Now,

[tex]Maximum=D+A[/tex]

[tex]Maximum=-19+21[/tex]

[tex]Maximum=2[/tex]

And,

[tex]Minimum=D-A[/tex]

[tex]Minimum=-19-21[/tex]

[tex]Minimum=-40[/tex]

Therefore, the minimum value is -40 and the maximum value is 2.

3x + ky = 8
X – 2ky = 5
are simultaneous equations where k is a constant.
b) Given that y = 1/2 determine the value of k.

Answers

Answer:

(a): x is 3 and ky is -1

(b): k is -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let: 3x + ky = 8 be equation (a)

x - 2 ky = 5 be equation (b)

Then multiply equation (a) by 2:

→ 6x + 2ky = 16, let it be equation (c)

Then equation (c) + equation (b):

[tex] { \sf{(6 + 1)x + (2 - 2)ky = (16 + 5)}} \\ { \sf{7x = 21}} \\ { \sf{x = 3}}[/tex]

Then ky :

[tex]{ \sf{2ky = 3 - 5}} \\ { \sf{ky = - 1}}[/tex]

[tex]{ \bf{y = \frac{1}{2} }} \\ { \sf{ky = - 1}} \\ { \sf{k = - 2}}[/tex]

Simultaneous equations are used to represent a system of related equations.

The value of k when [tex]y = \frac 12[/tex] is -2

Given that:

[tex]3x + ky = 8[/tex]

[tex]x - 2ky = 5[/tex]

[tex]y = \frac 12[/tex]

Substitute [tex]y = \frac 12[/tex] in both equations

[tex]3x + ky = 8[/tex]

[tex]3x + k \times \frac 12 = 8[/tex]

[tex]3x + \frac k2 = 8[/tex]

[tex]x - 2ky = 5[/tex]

[tex]x - 2k \times \frac 12 = 5[/tex]

[tex]x - k = 5[/tex]

Make x the subject in [tex]x - k = 5[/tex]

[tex]x = 5 + k[/tex]

Substitute [tex]x = 5 + k[/tex] in [tex]3x + \frac k2 = 8[/tex]

[tex]3(5 + k) + \frac k2 = 8[/tex]

Open bracket

[tex]15 + 3k + \frac k2 = 8[/tex]

Multiply through by 2

[tex]30 + 6k + k = 16[/tex]

[tex]30 + 7k = 16[/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex]7k = 16 - 30[/tex]

[tex]7k = - 14[/tex]

Divide both sides by 7

[tex]k = -2[/tex]

Hence, the value of constant k is -2.
