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.

sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify ——————

3x - 1

Equation at the end of step 1 :

(6x - 1)

y - ———————— = 0

3x - 1

Step 2 :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

2.1 Subtracting a fraction from a whole

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using (3x-1) as the denominator :

y y • (3x - 1)

y = — = ————————————

1 (3x - 1)

Answer: A

Step-by-step explanation:

when thinking about the figurative language we understand that you have to dig deeper for the answer just like poems lol, but the answer is A because when he says they are beating it with a hose to find out what it truly means it makes sense to criticize the way some readers try and understand poems. plus i got it right on the test kisses :)

How do you solve this problem?
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

It can't be 102. If that happened 51 would be printer and you would never have gotten out of 51. It would keep on printing 51.

For the reason just given, 51 was not the starting point. It would just keep on printing 51.

D is obviously wrong because A and B are wrong.

The answer is C

204 is even. It will be divided by 2

102 is then printed out.

Find the value of x.
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

x=6.09cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Working out AB:

7.5²+4.9²

= √80.26

AB= 8.96cm

To work out x:

AB is the opposite, where BC is the adjacent. This means that we have to use TOA.

x=8.96/Tan(55.8)

x= 6.09cm

Answer:

\large\boxed{\dfrac{\boxed{8}}{81}}

Step-by-step explanation:

\text{If}\ a_1,\ a_2,\ a_3,\ a_4,\ ...,\ a_n\ \text{is the geometric sequence, then}\\\\\dfrac{a_2}{a_1}=\dfrac{a_3}{a_2}=\dfrac{a_4}{a_3}=...=\dfrac{a_n}{a_{n-1}}=constant=r-\text{common ration}.\\\\\text{We have}\ \dfrac{1}{2},\ \dfrac{1}{3},\ \dfrac{2}{9},\ \dfrac{4}{27},\ ...\\\\\dfrac{\frac{1}{3}}{\frac{1}{2}}=\dfrac{1}{3}\cdot\dfrac{2}{1}=\dfrac{2}{3}\\\\\dfrac{\frac{2}{9}}{\frac{1}{3}}=\dfrac{2}{9}\cdot\dfrac{3}{1}=\dfrac{2}{3}\\\\\dfrac{\frac{4}{27}}{\frac{2}{9}}=\dfrac{4}{27}\cdot\dfrac{9}{2}=\dfrac{2}{3}

\bold{CORRECT}\\\\\dfrac{x}{\frac{4}{27}}=\dfrac{2}{3}\qquad\text{multiply both sides by}\ \dfrac{4}{27}\\\\x=\dfrac{2}{3}\cdot\dfrac{4}{27}\\\\x=\dfrac{8}{81}
