Answer:

P(X

P(X>34)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{34-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z>\frac{34-28}{2})=P(z>3)=0.00135

And if we add the two values we got 0.00135+0.00135 = 0.0027 and in % would be 0.27% and rounded would be 0.3 %

d.  0.3%

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X the random variable that represent the variable of interest of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(28,2)  

Where \mu=28 and \sigma=2

We are interested on this probability

P(X34)

We can find the individual probabilities. We can use the z score formula given by:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

P(X

P(X>34)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{34-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z>\frac{34-28}{2})=P(z>3)=0.00135

And if we add the two values we got 0.00135+0.00135 = 0.0027 and in % would be 0.27% and rounded would be 0.3 %

d.  0.3%

A manufacturer of golf equipment wishes to estimate the number of left-handed golfers. A previous study indicates that the propo
never [62]

Answer:

A sample of 997 is needed.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of \pi, and a confidence level of 1-\alpha, we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

In which

z is the z-score that has a p-value of 1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}.

The margin of error is of:

M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

A previous study indicates that the proportion of left-handed golfers is 8%.

This means that \pi = 0.08

98% confidence level

So \alpha = 0.02, z is the value of Z that has a p-value of 1 - \frac{0.02}{2} = 0.99, so Z = 2.327.  

How large a sample is needed in order to be 98% confident that the sample proportion will not differ from the true proportion by more than 2%?

This is n for which M = 0.02. So

M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

0.02 = 2.327\sqrt{\frac{0.08*0.92}{n}}

0.02\sqrt{n} = 2.327\sqrt{0.08*0.92}

\sqrt{n} = \frac{2.327\sqrt{0.08*0.92}}{0.02}

(\sqrt{n})^2 = (\frac{2.327\sqrt{0.08*0.92}}{0.02})^2

n = 996.3

Rounding up:

A sample of 997 is needed.

If x=5^a, find the value of 5x. How?
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

5x = 5^{(a+1)}

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is a problem with the concept of properties of the exponent.

We are given x = 5^{a} and we have to find the value of 5x.

Now, 5x = 5 \times 5^{a} {Since we are given that x = 5^{a}}

⇒ 5x = 5^{1} \times 5^{a} {Since we can write x = x^{1}}

⇒ 5x = 5^{(a+1)} {Since we know the formula of exponent as x^{m} \times x^{n} = x^{(m + n)}}
