A statistician calculates that 7% of Americans own a Rolls Royce. If the statistician is right, what is the probability that the

proportion of Rolls Royce owners in a sample of 613 Americans would differ from the population proportion by greater than 3%? Round your answer to four decimal places.

Answer:

The probability that the proportion of Rolls Royce owners in a sample of 613 Americans would differ from the population proportion by greater than 3% is 0.036.

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean of the people owning a Roll Royce in the sample is 0.07*613 = 42.91, the standard deviation is √(42.91*(1-0.07)) = 6.3171. Since we are working with a binomial distribution with high parameter n, then we can approximate it by a Normal random variable instead, lets denote it X. In order to make  computations easier, we will take W, the standarization of X, which is given by the formula

W = \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma} = \frac{X-42.91}{6.3171}

The cummulative distribution function of W will be denoted \phi . The values of \phi are well known are they can be found in the attached file. We will calculate the probability that X is between 613*0.04 = 24.52 and 613*0.010 = 61.3, and then we will obtain the probability we want by substracting this result from 1 (because we are calculating the probability of the complementary event).

P(24.52 < X < 61.3) = P(\frac{24.52-42.91}{6.3171} < \frac{X-42.91}{6.3171} < \frac{61.3-42.91}{6.3171} ) =\\P(-2.91 < W < 2.911) = \phi(2.91) - \phi(-2.91) = 2 \phi(2.91) - 1 = 2*0.9982-1 = 0.9964

Note that, since the density function of a standard normal random variable si symmetric, then \phi(-2.91) = 1- \phi(2.91) .

Thus, the probability that the proportion will differ in more than 3% is 1-0.9964 = 0.036.

Answer:

x = 26

Step-by-step explanation:

The three angles form a straight line, so they will sum to 180

4x - 8  + 34  + 76- x = 180

Combine like terms

3x+ 102 = 180

Subtract 102 from each side

3x+102-102 = 180-102

3x= 78

Divide each side by 3

3x/3 = 78/3

x = 26

Find the value of x and y <br>&lt;1=(10x) <br>&lt;2=(10y+20)<br>&lt;3 =100 ​
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

  1. 100
  2. 80
  3. 100
  4. 80

x = 10

y = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the vertical angle theorem to solve for most of this problem. We know that 1/3 will have the same measure and so will 4/2. We can create an equation to solve for 1 and 3.

10x = 100

x = 10

We aren't given angle 4 so we are going to have to solve that ourselves. We can create an equation knowing that 4 and 3 will create a supplementary angle.

100 + z = 180

z = 80

Now, that we have angle 4, we know that angle 2 will have the same measure because they are vertical angles. Now to find the value of y, we can take the angle measure and solve for it.

10y + 20 = 80

10y = 60

y = 6

Best of Luck!

One person can do a certain job in 15 minutes and another person can do the same job in 30 minutes. How many minutes will it tak
Flauer [41]

Hello! Your answer is B, 10 minutes.

Say the x = minutes taken to do the job. You can set up an equation like this to solve this.

\frac{1}{15} x + \frac{1}{30} x = 1

This is representative of the situation. The fractions each represent <u>how much each person does in a minute</u>, and when they're multiplied by x, that's <u>how much of the project they get done</u> based off of the minutes they work together on the job. Add the two together, and you get <u>how much of the project is finished in x amount of time</u>. Set it equal to 1, as you are looking for 100% completion.

Once you have this equation, find a common denominator, add, and solve.

\frac{1}{15} x + \frac{1}{30} x = 1

\frac{2}{30} x + \frac{1}{30} x = 1

\frac{3}{30}x = 1

\frac{1}{10}x = 1

x = 10

Therefore, it will take them 10 minutes to do the job together.

Hope this helps!
