A survey of 181 registered voters in one state reveals that 112 of them favor approval of a bill before the legislature. Construct a 98% confidence interval for the true proportion of all voters in the state who favor approval of the bill. Give your answers as decimals, rounded to 3 places after the decimal point (if necessary). 98% confidence interval for p: ( , )

Hence the approximate 98% confidence interval for the voters in favor of the approval of the bill is  ( 0.541 , 0.683)

Step-by-step explanation:

The sample proportion is = p = 112/181 = 0.61878= 0.612

q = 1-p = 1- 0.612= 0.388

The degree of confidence is 98 % so z₀.₀₂₅= 1.96  taking α = 5 at 95 %

The interval X~± 0.98  is a random variable because X does not have a particular value but takes different values in different samples.

In repeated samples of size 16 from a normal distribution with standard deviation 2 the interval X~± 0.98 will contain true unknown value of mean about 95 percent of the time .

p ± z ( base alpha by 2) √pq/n

Substituting the values

0.612 ± 1.96√0.612*0.388/181

Multiplying p and q

= 0.612 ± 1.96 √0.237456/181

Solving the square root

=0.612 ± 1.96( 0.03622)

Multiplying  value of z with the value of square root

=0.612 ±  0.07099

Adding or subtracting will give   0.683, 0.541

Hence the approximate 98% confidence interval for the voters in favor of the approval of the bill is  ( 0.541 , 0.683)

x = 2

step-by-step explanation:

if sr parallel to ba then the sides bc and ac are in proportion, that is

= ← substitute values

= ( cross- multiply )

27x = 6(4x + 1)

27x = 24x + 6 ( subtract 24x from both sides )

3x = 6 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 2
