Answer:
99.74% probability that the sample proportion will be less than 0.1
Step-by-step explanation:
I am going to use the binomial approximation to the normal to solve this question.
Binomial probability distribution
Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.
Can be approximated to a normal distribution, using the expected value and the standard deviation.
The expected value of the binomial distribution is:
The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:
Normal probability distribution
Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean and standard deviation
, the zscore of a measure X is given by:
The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
When we are approximating a binomial distribution to a normal one, we have that ,
.
In this problem, we have that:
So
What is the probability that the sample proportion will be less than 0.1
This is the pvalue of Z when X = 0.1*276 = 27.6. So
has a pvalue of 0.9974
99.74% probability that the sample proportion will be less than 0.1
Answer:
x = -3, 0, or 7
Step-by-step explanation:
After removing common factors, the remaining quadratic can be factored by comparison to the factored form of a quadratic.
__
<h3>Step 1</h3>Write the equation in standard form.
4x³ -16x² -84x = 0
<h3>Step 2</h3>Factor out the common factor from all terms.
= 4x(x² -4x -21) = 0
<h3>Step 3</h3>Compare to the factored form of a quadratic:
(x +a)(x +b) = x² +(a+b)x +ab
This tells you the constants 'a' and 'b' in the factors can be found by considering ...
(a+b) = -4 . . . . the coefficient of the x term of the quadratic
ab = -21 . . . . . the constant term of the quadratic
It is often helpful to list factor pairs of the constant:
-21 = (-21)(1) = (-7)(3) . . . . integer pairs that have a negative sum
The sums of these pairs are -20 and -4. We are interested in the latter. We can choose ...
a = -7, b = 3
<h3>Step 4</h3>Put it all together.
4x³ -16x² -84 = (4x)(x -7)(x +3) = 0 . . . . . factored form of the equation
<h3>Step 5</h3>Apply the zero product rule. This rule tells you the product of factors will be zero when one or more of the factors is zero:
4x = 0 ⇒ x = 0
x -7 = 0 ⇒ x = 7
x +3 = 0 ⇒ x = -3
Solutions to the equation are x ∈ {-3, 0, 7}.

<em>Additional comment</em>
What we did in Step 3 is sometimes referred to as the X-method of factoring a quadratic. The constant (ab product) is put at the top of the X, and the sum (a+b) is put at the bottom. The sides of the X are filled in with values that match the product and sum: -7 and 3. The method is modified slightly if the coefficient of x² is not 1.
A graphing calculator often provides a quick and easy method of finding the real zeros of a polynomial.
