Answer:

1. P(X≥35) = 0.0183

2. P(X≤21) = 0.0183

3. P(0.18<p<0.25) = 0.7915

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the proportion for women: pw=0.22, and the proportion for men: pm=0.19.

1. We have a sample of 140 woman and we have to calculate the probability of getting 35 or more who do volunteer work.

This is equivalent to a proportion of

p=X/n=35/140=0.25

The standard error of the proportion is:

\sigma_p=\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{0.22*0.78}{300}}\\\\\\ \sigma_p=\sqrt{0.0006}=0.0239

We calculate the z-score as:

z=\dfrac{p-p_w}{\sigma_p}=\dfrac{0.25-0.22}{0.0239}=\dfrac{0.03}{0.0239}=0.8198

Then, the probability of having 35 women or more who do volunteer work in this sample of 140 women is:

P(X>35)=P(p>0.25)=P(z>2.0906)=0.0183

2. We have to calculate the probability of having 21 or fewer women in the group who do volunteer work.

The proportion is now:

p=X/n=21/140=0.15

We can calculate then the z-score as:

z=\dfrac{p-p_w}{\sigma_p}=\dfrac{0.15-0.2}{0.0239}=\dfrac{-0.05}{0.0239}=-2.0906

Then, the probability of having 21 women or less who do volunteer work in this sample of 140 women is:

P(X

3. For the sample with men and women, we use the proportion for both, which is π=0.2.

The sample size is n=300.

Then, the standard error of the proportion is:

\sigma_p=\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{0.2*0.8}{300}}\\\\\\ \sigma_p=\sqrt{0.0005}=0.0231

We can calculate the z-scores for p1=0.18 and p2=0.25:

z_1=\dfrac{p_1-\pi}{\sigma_p}=\dfrac{0.18-0.2}{0.0231}=\dfrac{-0.02}{0.0231}=-0.8660\\\\\\z_2=\dfrac{p_2-\pi}{\sigma_p}=\dfrac{0.25-0.2}{0.0231}=\dfrac{0.05}{0.0231}=2.1651

We can now calculate the probabilty of having a proportion within 0.18 and 0.25 as:

P=P(0.18

At the beginning of a snowstorm, Grayson had 10 inches of snow on his lawn. The snow then began to fall at a constant rate of 0.
maxonik [38]

Answer:

  • Grayson had 10 inches of snow in his lawn
  • the snow falls at a constant rate of 0.5 inches per hour
  • no snow was melting
  • the snow has fallen for 3 hours  

Let y be the height of the snow in the lawn

Grayson had 10 inches at the beginning (at t=0) so y= 10

3 hours passed so y= 10 + 3*0.5 = 11.5 inches

Grayson had 11.5 inches after three hours

Assuming that the snow continued to fall for an unkhown time t

y = 0.5*t + 10

we had 10 at the beginning so we add 10 (+10)

the snow is growing by 0.5 inches in the single hour so we multiply by 0.5

t is the time and it can 4, 5, 6 ...... hours

Just like a function :

  • 0.5 is the slope
  • t is the variable
  • 10 is the y-intercept

Answer:

$14000

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Commission 5% of sale price

Sale price of house = $280,000

Commission = 5% of $280,000

Hence,

Commission = 0.05 * $280,000

Commission = $14,000
