If, based on a sample size of 950, a political candidate finds that 563 people would vote for him in a two-person race, what is the 99% confidence interval for his expected proportion of the vote? Would he be confident of winning based on this poll?

The 99% confidence interval for his expected proportion of the vote is (0.5516, 0.6336). Since the interval for the proportion is above 50%, he would be confident of winning based on the pool.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of , and a confidence level of , we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

In which

z is the zscore that has a pvalue of .

For this problem, we have that:

99% confidence level

So , z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of , so .

The lower limit of this interval is:

The upper limit of this interval is:

The 99% confidence interval for his expected proportion of the vote is (0.5516, 0.6336). Since the interval for the proportion is above 50%, he would be confident of winning based on the pool.

60

step-by-step explanation:

the slope of the line is 60

one point on the line is (40,10)

step-by-step explanation:

in the equation outside the parenthesis the equation always tells you the slope. in this case it is 60.

in the parenthesis is also says 40 which is x because it is near the x and 10 is y because it is near y.
