Answer:

99.74% probability that the sample proportion will be less than 0.1

Step-by-step explanation:

I am going to use the binomial approximation to the normal to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

Can be approximated to a normal distribution, using the expected value and the standard deviation.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

$E(X) = np$

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

$\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}$

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

When we are approximating a binomial distribution to a normal one, we have that $\mu = E(X)$ , $\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)}$ .

In this problem, we have that:

$n = 276, p = 0.06$

So

$\mu = E(X) = np = 276*0.06 = 16.56$

$\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{276*0.06*0.94} = 3.9454$

What is the probability that the sample proportion will be less than 0.1

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 0.1*276 = 27.6. So

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{27.6 - 16.56}{3.9454}$

$Z = 2.8$

$Z = 2.8$ has a pvalue of 0.9974

99.74% probability that the sample proportion will be less than 0.1

For the given equation, find the values of a, b, and c, determine the direction in which the parabola opens, and determine the y

Zolol [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In the quadratic

$3x^2+2x-8$ the sign on the leading coefficient is positive, so the parabola opens upwards. The y-intercept exists where the x's are equal to 0, so the y-intercept is (0, -8). Match that to the table that has those characteristics in it.

Someone can you please help me on number 74

lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

9t^3 +t^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of the figure is the sum of the lengths of the sides. The side lengths are represented by the polynomials shown, so the perimeter (P) is their sum:

P = (4t^3 -5) + (4t^3 -5) + (t^2 +9) + (t^3 -t^2 -11) + (t^2 +12)

Rearranging to group like terms:

P = (4t^3 +4t^3 +t^3) + (t^2 -t^2 +t^2) + (-5 -5 +9 -11 +12)

P = 9t^3 +t^2

The perimeter of the figure is represented by the polynomial 9t^3 +t^2.
