In a sample of 4500 first year college students, a national survey reported that 39% participated in community service or volunteering work. a)Find the margin of error for 99% confidence level. Explain the findings of the study to someone who does not know statistics. [2 pts] b)Suppose a similar study collects a new sample of 4,500 first year students. If a 99% confidence interval is computed from the new sample, will the confidence interval will be exactly the same as the results in a)

Step-by-step explanation:

a)Confidence interval is written as

Sample proportion ± margin of error

Margin of error = z × √pq/n

Where

z represents the z score corresponding to the confidence level

p = sample proportion. It also means probability of success

q = probability of failure

q = 1 - p

p = x/n

Where

n represents the number of samples

x represents the number of success

From the information given,

n = 4500

p = 39/100 = 0.39

q = 1 - 0.39 = 0.61

To determine the z score, we subtract the confidence level from 100% to get α

α = 1 - 0.99 = 0.01

α/2 = 0.01/2 = 0.005

This is the area in each tail. Since we want the area in the middle, it becomes

1 - 0.005 = 0.995

The z score corresponding to the area on the z table is 2.58. Thus, the z score for a confidence level of 99% is 2.58

Margin of error = 2.58√(0.39)(0.61)/4500

Margin of error = 0.0188

The lower limit of the confidence interval is

0.39 - 0.0188 = 0.3712

The upper limit of the confidence interval is

0.39 + 0.054 = 0.4088

Therefore, we are 99% certain or confident that the proportion of the population of first year college students that participated in community service or volunteering work lies between 0.3712 and 0.4088

b) The margin of error would remain the same but the confidence interval would be affected by the value of the sample proportion.

if gloria has "carry over" minutes, (that is, any minutes paid for but not used in a month can be applied to her payment for minutes in the next month,) her total usage for the three months is: total minutes = 320 + 243 + 489 = 1052 minutes number of 200 minute blocks = 1052/200 = 5 r52 (that is 5 with a remainder of 52) rounding up the number of 200 minute blocks gives her usage for the three months as 6 blocks. the cost for six blocks is 6 x $25 = $150 she also has 200 - 52 or 148 carry over minutes if gloria pays each month and unused minutes are lost, applying the rounding up procedure to each month gives: first month usage of 320 minutes rounds up to 2 blocks of 200 minutes for a payment of 2 x $25 = $50 second month usage of 243 minutes rounds up to 2 blocks of 200 minutes for a payment of 2 x $25 = $50 third month usage of 489 minutes rounds up to 3 blocks of 200 minutes for a payment of 3 x $25 = $75 total payments for the three months are $50 + $50 + $75 = $175 get the plan with carry over minutes!

you should talk someone who owns the website about it. you did not deserve to have all that hard work and time taken away. id watch videos of little puppies to cool you down, and maybe some nacho cheese doritos.
