According to a recent survey of 1200 people, 61% feel that the president is doing an acceptable job. We are interested in the population proportion of people who feel the president is doing an acceptable job.

• Define the Random Variables $X$ and $P\text{'}$ , in words.
• Which distribution should you use for this problem? Explain your choice.
• Construct a 90% confidence interval for the population proportion of people who feel the president is doing an acceptable job.
• State the confidence interval.
• Sketch the graph.
• Calculate the error bound.

• $N\left(0.61,\sqrt{\frac{\left(0.61\right)\left(0.39\right)}{1200}}\right)$
• CI: (0.59, 0.63)
• EB = 0.02

A survey of the mean amount of cents off that coupons give was done by randomly surveying one coupon per page from the coupon sections of a recent San Jose Mercury News. The following data were collected: 20¢; 75¢; 50¢; 65¢; 30¢; 55¢; 40¢; 40¢; 30¢; 55¢; \$1.50; 40¢; 65¢; 40¢. Assume the underlying distribution is approximately normal.

• $\overline{x}=\text{________}$
• ${s}_{x}=\text{________}$
• $n=\text{________}$
• $n-1=\text{________}$
• Define the Random Variables $X$ and $\overline{X}$ , in words.
• Which distribution should you use for this problem? Explain your choice.
• Construct a 95% confidence interval for the population mean worth of coupons.
• State the confidence interval.
• Sketch the graph.
• Calculate the error bound.
• If many random samples were taken of size 14, what percent of the confident intervals constructed should contain the population mean worth of coupons? Explain why.

An article regarding interracial dating and marriage recently appeared in the Washington Post . Of the 1709 randomly selected adults, 315 identified themselves as Latinos, 323 identified themselves as blacks, 254 identified themselves as Asians, and 779 identified themselves as whites. In this survey, 86% of blacks said that their families would welcome a white person into their families. Among Asians, 77% would welcome a white person into their families, 71% would welcome a Latino, and 66% would welcome a black person.

• We are interested in finding the 95% confidence interval for the percent of all black families that would welcome a white person into their families. Define the Random Variables $X$ and $P\text{'}$ , in words.
• Which distribution should you use for this problem? Explain your choice.
• Construct a 95% confidence interval
• State the confidence interval.
• Sketch the graph.
• Calculate the error bound.

• $N\left(0.86,\sqrt{\frac{\left(0.86\right)\left(0.14\right)}{323}}\right)$
• CI: (0.823, 0.898)
• EB = 0.038

Refer to the problem above.

• Construct three 95% confidence intervals.
• Percent of all Asians that would welcome a white person into their families.
• Percent of all Asians that would welcome a Latino into their families.
• Percent of all Asians that would welcome a black person into their families.
• Even though the three point estimates are different, do any of the confidence intervals overlap? Which?
• For any intervals that do overlap, in words, what does this imply about the significance of the differences in the true proportions?
• For any intervals that do not overlap, in words, what does this imply about the significance of the differences in the true proportions?

how do they get the third part x = (32)5/4
can someone help me with some logarithmic and exponential equations.
20/(×-6^2)
Salomon
okay, so you have 6 raised to the power of 2. what is that part of your answer
I don't understand what the A with approx sign and the boxed x mean
it think it's written 20/(X-6)^2 so it's 20 divided by X-6 squared
Salomon
I'm not sure why it wrote it the other way
Salomon
I got X =-6
Salomon
ok. so take the square root of both sides, now you have plus or minus the square root of 20= x-6
oops. ignore that.
so you not have an equal sign anywhere in the original equation?

hello
Sherica
im all ears I need to learn
Sherica
right! what he said ⤴⤴⤴
Tamia
what is a good calculator for all algebra; would a Casio fx 260 work with all algebra equations? please name the cheapest, thanks.
a perfect square v²+2v+_
kkk nice
algebra 2 Inequalities:If equation 2 = 0 it is an open set?
or infinite solutions?
Kim
The answer is neither. The function, 2 = 0 cannot exist. Hence, the function is undefined.

No. 7x -4y is simplified from 4x + (3y + 3x) -7y
is it 3×y ?
J, combine like terms 7x-4y
how do you translate this in Algebraic Expressions

what is the function of carbon nanotubes?
Cesar
what is nanomaterials​ and their applications of sensors.
what is nano technology
what is system testing?
preparation of nanomaterial
Yes, Nanotechnology has a very fast field of applications and their is always something new to do with it...
what is system testing
what is the application of nanotechnology?
Stotaw
In this morden time nanotechnology used in many field . 1-Electronics-manufacturad IC ,RAM,MRAM,solar panel etc 2-Helth and Medical-Nanomedicine,Drug Dilivery for cancer treatment etc 3- Atomobile -MEMS, Coating on car etc. and may other field for details you can check at Google
Azam
anybody can imagine what will be happen after 100 years from now in nano tech world
Prasenjit
after 100 year this will be not nanotechnology maybe this technology name will be change . maybe aftet 100 year . we work on electron lable practically about its properties and behaviour by the different instruments
Azam
name doesn't matter , whatever it will be change... I'm taking about effect on circumstances of the microscopic world
Prasenjit
how hard could it be to apply nanotechnology against viral infections such HIV or Ebola?
Damian
silver nanoparticles could handle the job?
Damian
not now but maybe in future only AgNP maybe any other nanomaterials
Azam
can nanotechnology change the direction of the face of the world
At high concentrations (>0.01 M), the relation between absorptivity coefficient and absorbance is no longer linear. This is due to the electrostatic interactions between the quantum dots in close proximity. If the concentration of the solution is high, another effect that is seen is the scattering of light from the large number of quantum dots. This assumption only works at low concentrations of the analyte. Presence of stray light.
the Beer law works very well for dilute solutions but fails for very high concentrations. why?
how did you get the value of 2000N.What calculations are needed to arrive at it
