A magazine provided results from a poll of 2000 adults who were asked to identify their favorite pie. Among the 2000 ​respondents, 11​% chose chocolate​ pie, and the margin of error was given as plus or minus5 percentage points. What values do ModifyingAbove p with caret​, ModifyingAbove q with caret​, ​n, E, and p​ represent? If the confidence level is 95​%, what is the value of alpha​?

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]\r p = 0.11[/tex]

[tex]\r q = 0.89[/tex]

n = 2000

[tex]E = \pm 5[/tex]

p - population proportion

[tex]\alpha = 5[/tex]%

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that  

   The  sample size is  [tex]n = 2000[/tex]

   The  proportion of the population for chocolate pie is  [tex]p_c = 0.11[/tex]

   The  margin of error is  [tex]E = \pm 5[/tex]%  

Now in the question we are asked to provide the meaning of  

       [tex]\r p , \r q , n , E , and\ p[/tex]

Now  [tex]\r p[/tex] is the sample proportion of the population that those  chocolate​ pie as  favorite pie of   which is given from the question as 0.11

Now

         [tex]\r q[/tex] is the sample  proportion of the population that choose other pies apart from chocolate pie as their favorite and it is evaluated as

      [tex]\r q = 1 - \r p[/tex]

      [tex]\r q = 1 - 0.11[/tex]

       [tex]\r q = 0.89[/tex]

       n is the sample size which is given as  n =  2000

       E is the margin of  error which given as  [tex]E = \pm 5[/tex]%

       p is the population proportion

Given that the confidence level is  95 %  then the level of significance is  mathematically evaluated as

        [tex]\alpha =(100 - 95)[/tex]%

        [tex]\alpha =[/tex]5%
