Going to the prom tonya wants to estimate what proportion of her school’s seniors plan to attend the prom. she interviews an srs of 50 of the 750 seniors in her school and finds that 36 plan to go to the prom.

(a) identify the population and parameter of interest.

(b) check conditions for constructing a confidence interval for the parameter.

(c) construct a 90% confidence interval for p. show your method.

(d) interpret the interval in context.

We are 90% confident that for large samples randomly drawn from 750 seniors the proportion of seniors who plan to go the prom will fall within this interval

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that going to the prom Tonya wants to estimate what proportion of her school’s seniors plan to attend the prom. She interviews an SRS of 50 of the 750 seniors in her school and finds that 36 plan to go to the prom.

a) Here population of interest is all the 750 seniors in her school and parameter of interest is the proportion of seniors who plan to go to the prom.

b) The conditions for constructing confidence interval are

i) Sample should be strictly drawn at random.  So ensure that 50 students are taken without any bias and at random

ii) Whether sample size is adequate to represent the population.  Here 50 is a good number more than 30 and hence sufficient.

c) For 90% confidence we use  z critical as 1.645

Sample proportion P =Q= 1-P=0.28

n = 50

Std error of sample proporiton P =

Margin of error = 1.645 *0.0635 =0.1045

Confidence interval = P±Margin of error

= (0.6155, 0.8245)

d) We are 90% confident that for large samples randomly drawn from 750 seniors the proportion of seniors who plan to go the prom will fall within this interval

no, the equation would be invalid since they are both not equal.

step-by-step explanation:

here you got

4y-6+4y 2-9

first, you would simplify the equation on the form.

4y-6+4y 2-9

then, move all the terms that contains a y to the left and all the other terms to the right.

+4y-4y+-9-6

finally, you will simplify the left and the right side of the equation.

y=-3
