A TV report conducted a survey of 947 people in New York City and found that 35% of the population believe that the Yankees will miss the playoffs this year. In the accompanying dialogue, the reporter states, we are 97% confident that the true proportion of people in New York City who believe that the Yankees will miss the playoffs this year lies between 28% and 42% . What does 35% represent in the report

represents the sample proportion of the population

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The sample size is  n  = 947

   The proportion of the population that believes that the Yankees will miss the playoffs this year is    

From the question we are told the confidence level is  97%

   The lower limit of the confidence level is a = 28%

    The upper limit of the  b = 42%

Generally the sample proportion of this population is mathematically represented as

=>      

=>      

Hence   represents the sample proportion

the value of v.w= -12.

step-by-step explanation:

we are given three vector r,v and w as:

r = < 5, -5, -2> ; v = < 2, -8, -8> ; w = < -2, 6, -5>

we know that r,v and w could also be represented as:

r=5i-5j-2k

v=2i-8j-8k

and w= -2i+6j-5k

where i,j and k are the unit vectors of x,y and z-axis respectively.

also we know that it has the following property:

i.i=1 ; j.j=1; k.k=1

and i.=j.i=i.k=k.i=j.k=k.j=0

i.e. when we multiply two vectors or we find it's dot product we need to only multiply the components of x coordinates with each other; y with each other and z with each other.

hence, v.w= (2i-8j- -2i+6j-5k)

                  = 2×(-2)+(-8)×(6)+(-8)×(-5)

                  = -4-48+40

                  = -12

hence, v.w= -12
