A market researcher for a provider of music player accessories wants to know the proportion of customers who own cars to assess

the market for a new car charger. A survey of 600 customers indicates that 73% own cars. ​a) What is the estimated standard deviation of the sampling distribution of the​ proportion? ​b) How large would the estimated standard deviation have been if he had surveyed only 150 customers​ (assuming the proportion is about the​same)?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

To evaluate the market for a new car charger, a market researcher surveyed 600 customers and found out that 73% of them own a car.

The parameter of interest is the population proportion and the study variable is "the number of customers that own a car out of 600".

Using the Central Limit Theorem you can approximate the distribution of the sampling proportion to normal:

p'≈N(p;\frac{p(1-p)}{n})

Where p' is the sample proportion

p is the population proportion and the mean of the distribution

\frac{p(1-p)}{n} is the variance of the distribution

Then de standard deviation of the samplig proportion distribution is \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}

You can estimate it using the sample proportion:

\sqrt{\frac{p'(1-p')}{n}} = \sqrt{\frac{0.73*0.27}{600} }=0.0181

Using the same sample proportion but a sample size of n=150, the estimated standard deviation is:

\sqrt{\frac{p'(1-p')}{n}} = \sqrt{\frac{0.73*0.27}{150} }=0.0362

I hope it helps!

A waterfall has a height of 1900 feet. A pebble is thrown upward from the top of the falls with an initial velocity of 12 feet p
saw5 [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

h is the height of the pebble after a certain amount of time has gone by. Since we are told to find that time when the pebble is on the ground, we say that h = 0 since the height of something on the ground has no height at all. Then factor the quadratic.

-16t^2+12t+1900=0

Throw that into the quadratic formula or however you were taught to factor irrational quadratics (maybe completing the square?) to get that

t = 11.27869 sec and t = -10.52869 sec

Since we all know that time will never carry a negative value, we will disregard it and go with 11.27869 seconds. Not sure to where you are told to round.

Solve the quadratic equation. (x + 6)2 = 49
kykrilka [37]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve, use inverse operations:

(x+6)^2=49\\\sqrt{(x+6)^2} =\sqrt{49} \\x+6=+/-7

Now we solve for both +/- 7.

x+6=7

x=1

x+6=-7

x=-13
