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

How can I solve this problem?
Rus_ich [418]
(f+g)(x)=0
f (x) + g (x)=0

now,
substitute their values

x^2 -4x + x -18 = 0
x^2 -3x -18 =0
x^2 - 6x + 3x - 18 =0
x (x-6) + 3 (x-6) = 0
(x-6)(x+3) = 0


we have to find it's zeroes (or roots) now:

x-6 =0
x = 6


x +3 =0
x = -3

The lateral area of a cone is 555 \pi cm^2 and the radius is 15.1 what is the slant height?
pishuonlain [190]
We know that
[LA]=pi*r*l
where
LA is the lateral area of the cone
r is the radius
l is the slant height
l=LA/(pi*r)
r=15.1 cm
LA=555*pi cm²
l=(555*pi)/(pi*15.1)----> l=36.75 cm

the answer is
the slant height is 36.75 cm
