In a recent year, about 22% of Americans 18 years and older are single. What is the probability that in a random sample of 200 A

mericans 18 or older more than 30 are single? (Hint: use binomial to normal approximation techniques) Round your z-score to 2 decimal places before referencing table E. Then provide answer out to 4 decimal places.

Using the normal approximation to the binomial, it is found that there is a 0.0107 = 1.07% probability that more than 30 are single.

<h3>Normal Probability Distribution</h3>

The z-score of a measure X of a normally distributed variable with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma is given by:

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

  • The z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is above or below the mean.
  • Looking at the z-score table, the p-value associated with this z-score is found, which is the percentile of X.
  • The binomial distribution is the probability of x successes on n trials, with p probability of a success on each trial. It can be approximated to the normal distribution with \mu = np, \sigma = \sqrt{np(1-p)}.

In this problem, the proportion and the sample size are, respectively, p = 0.22 and n = 200, hence:

\mu = np = 200(0.22) = 44

\sigma = \sqrt{np(1 - p)} = \sqrt{200(0.22)(0.78)} = 5.8583

The probability that more than 30 are single, using continuity correction, is P(X > 30.5), which is <u>1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 30.5</u>, hence:

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

Z = \frac{30.5 - 44}{5.8583}

Z = -2.3

Z = -2.3 has a p-value of 0.0107.

0.0107 = 1.07% probability that more than 30 are single.

Answer:(3x-12)

Explanation:Rearranging the equation we get,

3x-12=y

which equals to

1/y=1/(3x-12)

Now,multiply both sides by x

x/y=x/(3x-12)

8x/2y=4x/y=4x/(3x-12)

pantera1 [17]

That statement is false

There are other methods that people can for the speech other than memorizing it. Here are two methods that you can use :

- Preparing a text so you can conduct the speech by reading it.

- Preparing a couple of pointers in your hand to help you remember the important topics of the speech.
