Suppose that public opinion in a large city is 55% in favor of increasing taxes to support renewable energy and 45% against such

an increase. If an interview of a random sample of 600 people from this city is conducted, what is the approximate probability that more than 360 of these people will be against increasing taxes?
A. 600 choose 360 times 0.55 to the 360 power times 0.45 to the 240 power.

B. Probability of z greater than quantity 0.60 minus 0.45 end quantity over square root quantity of 0.45 times 0.55 over 600 end quantity.

C. Probability of z greater than quantity 0.60 minus 0.55 end quantity over square root quantity of 0.55 times 0.45 over 600 end quantity.

D. Probability of z greater than quantity 0.60 minus 0.45 end quantity over square root quantity of 0.60 times 0.40 over 600 end quantity.

E. 600 choose 360 times 0.45 to the 360 power times 0.55 to the 240 power.

Answer:

The approximate probability that more than 360 of these people will be against increasing taxes is P(Z> <u>0.6-0.45)</u>

                                              √0.45*0.55/600

The right answer is B.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the given data we have the following:

sample size, h=600

probability against increase tax p=0.45

The probability that in a sample of 600 people, more that 360 people will be against increasing taxes.

We find that P(P>360/600)=P(P>0.6)

The sample proposition of p is approximately normally distributed mith mean p=0.45

standard deviation σ=√P(1-P)/n=√0.45(1-0.45)/600

If x≅N(u,σ∧∧-2), then z=(x-u)/σ≅N(0,1)

Now, P(P>0.6)=P(<u>P-P</u>   >     <u>0.6-0.45)</u>

                             σ          √0.45*0.55/600

=P(Z> <u>0.6-0.45)</u>

       √0.45*0.55/600

PLEASE HELP<br><br> What is the value of x?
KonstantinChe [14]
Side JL is 4√2  recall that in a 30-60-90 right triangle the hypotenuse is 2 times the size of the short leg.

JL also serves as the hypotenuse of the 45-45-90 triangle JML.  The ratio of side lengths in this triangle is 1:1:√2

So we can see that the value of x = 4

Mariko has an 80: 1 scale drawing of the floor plan of her house. On the floor plan
Ivan

Answer:

16,771.56 square feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to get to the result we will need to use the scale and the numbers that are provided of the dimensions of the room.

The dimensions of the room on the floor plan are 17.8 inches by 21.2 inches. We first need to multiply these numbers with the scale:

17.8 x 80 = 1,424

21.2 x 80 = 1,696

Now that we got the real measures we need to multiply these two values in order to get to a result as in how many square inches is the room:

1,424 x 1696 = 2,425,104

Now we need to convert the square inches into square feet to get to the final result:

1 ft² = 144 in²

2,425,104 / 144 = 16,771.56

So we have a result of 16,771.56 square feet.
