A study by Allstate Insurance Co. finds that 82% of teenagers have used cell phones while driving (the Wall Street Journal, May

5, 2010). Suppose a random sample of 100 teen drivers is taken. What is the probability that the sample proportion is within ± 0.02 of the population proportion?

The probability that the sample proportion is within ± 0.02 of the population proportion is 0.3328

<h3>How to determine the probability?</h3>

The given parameters are:

  • Sample size, n = 100
  • Population proportion, p = 82%

Start by calculating the mean:

\mu = np

\mu = 100 * 82\%

\mu = 82

Calculate the standard deviation:

\sigma = \sqrt{\mu(1 - p)

\sigma = \sqrt{82 * (1 - 82\%)

\sigma = 3.84

Within ± 0.02 of the population proportion are:

x_{min} = 82 * (1 - 0.02) = 80.38

x_{max} = 82 * (1 + 0.02) = 83.64

Calculate the z-scores at these points using:

z = \frac{x - \mu}{\sigma}

So, we have:

z_1 = \frac{80.36 - 82}{3.84} = -0.43

z_2 = \frac{83.64 - 82}{3.84} = 0.43

The probability is then represented as:

P(x ± 0.02) = P(-0.43 < z < 0.43)

Using the z table of probabilities, we have:

P(x ± 0.02) = 0.3328

Hence, the probability that the sample proportion is within ± 0.02 of the population proportion is 0.3328

If two measurements are very close to each other, then they are ____..
erik [133]

The <em>correct answer</em> is:


B) precise


Explanation:


Precision can be broken down into two pieces:

<em>Repeatability </em>- The variation observed when the same person measures the same thing repeatedly with the same device.

<em>Reproducibility</em>: The variation observed when different people measure the same thing using the same device.


If two measurements are very close to each other, this gives repeatability. If the measurements were made by different people, this gives reproducibility.


<em>Accuracy</em>, however, describes the difference between the measurement and the thing's actual value. This would not involve getting the same result repeatedly; it would be getting the <em>correct</em> value.

If 2 years on earth equals 5 months in another dimension, what are the equations to find the time in earth and that other dimens
Ede4ka [16]

Let x be the length of a month on the other dimension. Since a year value is 365.242 days

We have 2 × 365.242 = 5 × x

It means that 5x = 730,484

and that x = 730,484 / 5 ≈ 146,1 days rounded to the decimal

This means that a month length in the other dimension is of roughly 146 days.. and If we assume that a month in the other dimension is of 30 days approximately, then one day length would be of 146,1 / 30 ≈ 4.87 days
