4.8 Twitter users and news, Part I: A poll conducted in 2013 found that 55% of U. S. adult Twitter users get at least some news on Twitter (Pew, 2013). The standard error for this estimate was 2.6%, and a normal distribution may be used to model the sample proportion. Construct a 99% confidence interval for the fraction of U. S. adult Twitter users who get some news on Twitter, and interpret the confidence interval in context. (please round all percentages to 2 decimal places)

Required 99% confidence interval  : (48.30%, 61.7%)

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence interval for PROPORTION:  , where p = sample proportion , z* = two-tailed critical z-value  and S.E. = standard error.

As per given: p=55%

Critical z-value for 99% confidence = 2.576

S.E. = 2.6%

Then, required confidence interval :

Required 99% confidence interval  : (48.30%, 61.7%)

answer: integers are just whole numbers: positive, negative, and zero.

i = {-∞, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, ∞}

let x = 1st integer

let y = 2nd integer

x = 3y + 17   {equation 1}

xy = -24         {equation 2}

substitute 3y+17 in place of x n equation 2

and solve for y.

(3y+17)y = -24

3y2 + 17y = -24

3y2 + 17y + 24 = 0

from quadratic equation:

y = [-17±√(172-4(3)(24))]/(2(3))

y = (-17 ±√1)/6

y = (-17+1)/6   or     y = (-17-1)/6

y = -16/6           or     y = -18/6

y = -2 2/3         or   y = -3

since we are dealing with

y = -3

x = 3y+17 = -9+17 = 8

the integers are -3, 8
