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.

Which values are within the range of the piecewise-defined function?
musickatia [10]

Answer:  y < 1

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

\begin{array}{c|c||l}\underline{x; x-3}&\underline{y=-x-2}&\\-3&-(-3)-2=1&\text{approaching but not including 1}\\-2&-(-2)-2=0&\\-1&-(-1)-2=-1&\end{array}

The first function has the range of y < -4

The second function has the range of y = -3

The third function has the range of y < 1

The largest y-value is 1 and the smallest y-value is -∞, therefore the range (y-values) are from -∞ to 1 → y < 1

Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

Whitney made 6 baskets

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of baskets made by Whitney be x.

The 15 baskets made by

Chiyann is equal to 2 times plus 3 what Whitney made

Mathematically what she made would be 2x + 3

To get x, we equate this equation to 15

2x + 3 = 15

2x = 12

x = 12/2

x = 6 baskets
