N=400
sample proportion >= .475 => n>=.475N=190
mean response rate of population, p=0.5
Problem satisfies criteria for binomial distribution, where
P(x>=190)=sum P(x=i), i=190 to 400
This can be obtained from binomial distribution tables, calculators, or software as 
P(x>=190)=1-P(x<190)=1-0.14685=0.85315

Alternatively, normal approximation can be used.
mean=Np=400*.5=200
variance=Npq=400(.5)(1-.5)=100
standard deviation=sqrt(variance)=sqrt(100)=10
Calculate P(X>=190)=1-P(X<190)
X with continuity correction = 189.5
Z=(X-mean)/standard deviation=(189.5-200)/10=-1.05
P(z<Z)=P(z<-1.05)=0.14686 (from normal probability tables)
hence
P(X>=190)=1-P(X<190)=1-P(z<-1.05)=1-0.14686=0.85314 (approximately)

almost same as the exact binomial solution.

Answer:

The answers to each part are:

Part A.

  • <u>The quantity of apples is one-third of the quantity of grapes</u>.

Part B.

  • <u>The quantity of apples is a quarter of the quantity of strawberries</u>.

Part C.

  • <u>The number of cherries is two-elevenths of the total fruit</u>.

Step-by-step explanation:

To identify the answer in each case, you must remember that all the parts are equal, then:

Part A.

The parts of apples are 1 and the parts grapes are 3, so if you divide the first quantity with the second quantity you obtain:

  • 1 / 3 = 1/3 (one-third)

So, <u>the quantity of apples is one-third of the quantity of grapes</u> or the quantity of apples is three times smaller than the quantity of grapes.

Part B.

The parts of apples are 1 and the parts of strawberries are 4, then you must divide the first quantity with the second quantity:

  • 1 / 4 = 1/4 (a quarter)

In this case, <u>the quantity of apples is a quarter of the quantity of strawberries</u> or the quantity of apples is four times smaller than the quantity of strawberries.

Part C.

First, you must add all the part of fruit:

  • <em>1 part apple</em>
  • <em>1 part orange</em>
  • <em>4 parts strawberry</em>
  • <em>2 parts cherry </em>
  • <em>3 parts grape</em>

The total of fruits is 11 parts, taking into account the quantity of cherries is 2, now you can divide the number of cherries with the total parts of fruit:

  • 2 / 11 = 2/11 (two-elevenths)

Now, you can see <u>the number of cherries is two-elevenths of the total fruit</u>.

Suri makes 15$ per hour and gets a weekly bonus of 25$.Juan makes 14$ per hour and gets weekly bonus of 50$.Is it possible for S
Setler [38]

Answer:

Yes, it is possible for Suri and Juan to make the same amount of wages if they both work 25 hours in one week.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = number of hours worked

Let y = total wages earned

Suri:  15x + 25 = y

Juan:  14x + 50 = y

Equate equations and solve for x:

15x + 25 = 14x + 50

Subtract 14x from both sides:  x + 25 = 50

Subtract 25 from both sides: x = 25

Yes, it is possible for Suri and Juan to make the same amount of wages if they both work 25 hours in one week.

What is the coordinates of T' if T(-4,2) after a rotation of the triangle 180°about the origin?​
guapka [62]

Answer:

T'(4, -2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Rotation 180° about the origin (same as reflection across the origin) negates both coordinates:

T' = -T = -(-4, 2)

T' = (4, -2)
