Solution Steps

Step 1: Point Estimate of the Population Proportion

The best point estimate of the population proportion \( p \) is calculated as follows:

\[ \hat{p} = \frac{x}{n} = \frac{595}{1070} \approx 0.556 \]

Step 2: Standard Deviation of the Sample Proportion

The standard deviation of the sample proportion is given by:

\[ \sigma = \sqrt{\frac{\hat{p} \cdot (1 - \hat{p})}{n}} = \sqrt{\frac{0.556 \cdot (1 - 0.556)}{1070}} \approx 0.0152 \]

Step 3: Margin of Error Calculation

To find the margin of error \( E \), we use the formula:

\[ E = Z \cdot \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} \]

Where \( Z \) is the z-score corresponding to the confidence level of \( 99\% \), which is \( Z \approx 2.576 \). Thus, we have:

\[ E = 2.576 \cdot \frac{0.0152}{\sqrt{1070}} \approx 0.001 \]

Final Answer

The results are as follows:

  • Best point estimate of the population proportion \( p \): \( \hat{p} \approx 0.556 \)
  • Margin of error \( E \): \( E \approx 0.001 \)

\[ \boxed{\hat{p} = 0.556, \quad E = 0.001} \]

As shown in the diagram below, a soccer player kicks a ball directly toward the goal along a displacement vector r, which has a length of 8.2 m and a direction 30 degrees east of south. Alternatively, she could have kicked it to a second player standing directly in front of the goal along a displacement ry' who could have then kicked it to the goal along a displacement vector rx' as shown. Find the magnitudes and directions of rx and ry. (a) rx magnitude m direction -- Select-- (b) ry magnitude m direction ---Select---
