Response: (0.8115, 0.8645)

Step-by-step outline:

Define p as the proportion of individuals who leave one space after a sentence.

Provided: Sample size: n= 525

Number of respondents indicating they leave one space: 440

Thus, the sample proportion is: \hat{p}=\dfrac{440}{525}\approx0.838

The z-score for a 90% confidence interval is: 1.645

The formula for determining the confidence interval:

\hat{p}\pm z^*\sqrt{\dfrac{\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})}{n}}

0.838\pm (1.645)\sqrt{\dfrac{0.838(1-0.838)}{525}}\\\\=0.838\pm (1.645)\sqrt{0.00025858285}\\\\=0.838\pm (1.645)(0.01608)\\\\= 0.838\pm0.0265\\\\=(0.838-0.0265,\ 0.838+0.0265)\\\\=(0.8115,\ 0.8645)

Consequently, a 90% confidence interval for the proportion of people who leave one space after a period is: (0.8115, 0.8645)

An urn contains 3 red and 7 black balls. Players and withdraw balls from the urn consecutively until a red ball is selected. Fin
Leona [9271]

Correct question:

An urn holds 3 red and 7 black balls. Players A and B take turns withdrawing balls until a red one is chosen. Calculate the probability that A picks the red ball. (A goes first, followed by B, with no replacement of drawn balls).

Answer:

The likelihood that A picks the red ball is 58.33 %

Step-by-step explanation:

A will select the red ball if it is drawn 1st, 3rd, 5th, or 7th.

1st draw: 9C2

3rd draw: 7C2

5th draw: 5C2

7th draw: 3C2

Calculating for all possible scenarios gives us:

9C2 = (9!) / (7!2!) = 36

7C2 = (7!) / (5!2!) = 21

5C2 = (5!) / (3!2!) = 10

3C2 = (3!) / (2!) = 3

Adding these possibilities results in 36 + 21 + 10 + 3 = 70.

The total outcomes for selecting a red ball = 10C3

10C3 = (10!) / (7!3!)

= 120.

The probability that A selects the red ball is determined by dividing the sum of possible events by the overall outcomes.

P( A selects the red ball) = 70 / 120

= 0.5833

= 58.33 %

Which shows the correct solution of the equation<br> 1/2 a + 2/3b = 50 when b=30
AnnZ [9104]
½a + ⅔(30) = 50
½a + 20 = 50
½a = 50 - 20
½a = 30
a = 30 × 2
a = 60

Therefore, the solution is 60.

Hope this is useful!
