Answer:

P(X > 100.5) = 0.0062 \\\\

Therefore, there is 0.0062 probability that more than 20% of Americans do not have health insurance.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sixteen percent of Americans do not have health insurance. Suppose a simple random sample of 500.

From the above information,

p = 16% = 0.16

n = 500

The mean is given by

\mu = n \times p \\\\\mu = 500 \times 0.16 \\\\\mu = 80

The standard deviation is given by

\sigma = \sqrt{n \times p(1-p)} \\\\\sigma = \sqrt{500 \times 0.16(1-0.16)} \\\\\sigma = 8.197

What is the probability that more than 20% do not have health insurance?

We can use the Normal distribution as an approximation to the Binomial distribution since the following conditions are satisfied.

n×p ≥ 5  (satisfied)

n×(1 - p) ≥ 5   (satisfied)

So the probability is given by

500×0.20 = 100

P(X > 100) = 1 - P(X < 100)

We need to consider the continuity correction factor whenever we use continuous probability distribution (Normal distribution) to approximate discrete probability distribution (Binomial distribution).

P(X > 100.5) = 1 - P(X < 100.5)\\\\P(X > 100.5) = 1 - P(Z < \frac{x - \mu}{\sigma} )\\\\P(X > 100.5) = 1 - P(Z < \frac{100.5 - 80}{8.197} )\\\\P(X > 100.5) = 1 - P(Z < \frac{20.5}{8.197} )\\\\P(X > 100.5) = 1 - P(Z < 2.50)\\\\

The z-score corresponding to 2.50 is 0.9938

P(X > 100.5) = 1 - 0.9938\\\\P(X > 100.5) = 0.0062 \\\\P(X > 100.5) = 0.62\% \\\\

Therefore, there is 0.0062 probability that more than 20% of Americans do not have health insurance.

-4 + 3y = -43<br> what does y equal?
NeTakaya

Answer:

-13

Step-by-step explanation:

We remove the -4 by adding 4 to each side:

3y = -43 + 4

Now we simplify to give:

3y = -39

So now we divide both sides by 3 to give our answer of:

y = -39/3
y = -13
We can substitute this into the original equation to check our answer:

-4 + 3(-13) = -43

-4 + -39 = -43

-7-4p-(-5) pls answer
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

-7-20p

Step-by-step explanation:

Did it in my head but generally first parentheses so -1 times by -5 is 5... still there so multiply 5 by -4p, after that no more simplifying to be done as you cant combine or simplify a number with a variable to one that doesn't have a variable.
