Answer:

21.21%

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume that proportion of support follows normal distribution.For resulting in defeat the proportion of support should less than 0.5.Given that the proportion of support is p= 0.52.

Sample size(n)= 402

We know that standard deviation is given as

\sigma = \sqrt {\dfrac {p(1-p)}{n}}

Now by putting the values

\sigma = \sqrt {\dfrac{0.52\times 0.48}{402}}

σ=0.0249

Proportion of support follows normal distribution with mean is 0.52 and standard deviation is 0.0249

We know that Z=\dfrac{\bar{X}-\mu }{\sigma }

So

Z=\dfrac{0.5-0.52 }{0.0249}

Z= -0.80

So P(Z<-.80) =0.2118 from standard table.

So the probability of news paper to predict defeat is 21.21%

Write an e explicit formula for an, the nth term of the sequence 22, 19, 16, ...<br>​
alexira [117]

Answer:

a_{n} = 22 + (-3)(n - 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The first term is 22. It looks like each term after that is the term before, plus a negative 3.

a-sub-one  = 22

common difference = d= -3

Formula for a_{n}:

a_{n} = 22 + (-3)(n - 1) = 25 - 3n
