Question 7.7. Carmela randomly selected 65 stamps from a stamp collection. Eleven of these were commemorative stamps. What is the interval estimate for the proportion of commemorative stamps in the entire collection if the sampling method had a margin of error of 0.025? (Points : 4) (0.415, 0.465) (0.145, 0.195) (0.085, 0.135) (0.035, 0.085) a few moments ago

Do 11/65 Your two answers will be 11/65+0.025 and 11/65-0.025 Hope this helps :)

for which one?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh whoops, the first! I didn't even see the second lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmm i dont get what your saying for the first?

There's 65 total stamps. Totals usually go on the bottom of a fraction. The area of focus (the 11 commemorative) goes on top. So that's why it's 11/65. Which is 11 divided by 65, which equals 0.170. You have to add the marginal error (0.025) and then subtract it and those are your two answers.

can u simplify it for me plz

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yep :) so 11/65=0.170 Subtracting 0.025=0.145 Adding 0.025=0.195 So your answer is (0.145,0.195), so it's B

Thank You So Much, and how abou the second?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I honestly have no idea about the second lol are you in statistics?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Me too lol I don't think I'm that far. I'm in sampling, but I don't get why it says theyre numbered through 42 but there's only 40 numbers there

If I were you, I'd make it a whole new question and maybe retag so someone can try to help ^.^ Good luck!!
