Public opinion in the large city of Bedrock is that 60 percent of the residents are in favor of increasing taxes to fund alterna

tives to drug addiction treatment and 40 percent are against the increase. What is the approximate probability that more than 150 of the residents surveyed will be against increasing taxes if a random sample of 400 residents are surveyed

Answer: 0.8461

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p be the proportion of residents are against the increase of taxes to fund alternatives to drug addiction treatment.

As per given , we have p=0.40

A random sample is taken with size : n= 400

Expecting sample proportion : \hat{p}=\dfrac{150}{400}=0.375

Now , the probability that more than 150 of the residents surveyed will be against increasing taxes if a random sample of 400 residents are surveyed will be :

P(p>0.375)=P(\dfrac{\hat{p}-p}{\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}}>\dfrac{0.375-0.40}{\sqrt{\dfrac{0.40(0.60)}{400}}})

=P(z>\dfrac{0.375-0.40}{\sqrt{\dfrac{0.40(0.60)}{400}}})\ \ [\because\ z=\dfrac{\hat{p}-p}{\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}}]

=P(z>-1.02)=P(z-z)=P(Z

\approx0.8461  [By z-table]

Hence, the approximate probability that more than 150 of the residents surveyed will be against increasing taxes if a random sample of 400 residents are surveyed is 0.8461 .

11000 is compounded semiannually at a rate of 12% for 21 years. Find the total amount in the compound interest account
marishachu [46]

\bf ~~~~~~ \textit{Compound Interest Earned Amount}
\\\\
A=P\left(1+\frac{r}{n}\right)^{nt}
\quad
\begin{cases}
A=\textit{accumulated amount}\\
P=\textit{original amount deposited}\dotfill &\$11000\\
r=rate\to 12\%\to \frac{12}{100}\dotfill &0.12\\
n=
\begin{array}{llll}
\textit{times it compounds per year}\\
\textit{semiannually, thus twice}
\end{array}\dotfill &2\\
t=years\dotfill &21
\end{cases}


\bf A=11000\left(1+\frac{0.12}{2}\right)^{2\cdot 21}\implies A=11000(1.06)^{42}\implies A\approx 127127.359416

Step-by-step explanation:

Regan needs the following:

2\dfrac{1}{4} yards for a​ dress

\dfrac{1}{4}$ yards of contrasting fabric for the band at the bottom$\\4\dfrac{3}{4}$ yards for a coordinating jacket.

Total Length of fabric needed

= 2\dfrac{1}{4}+\dfrac{1}{4}+4\dfrac{3}{4}\\=2+4+\dfrac{1}{4}+\dfrac{3}{4}+\dfrac{1}{4}\\=6+1+\dfrac{1}{4}\\=7\dfrac{1}{4}$ yards

The number of yards of 45-in. fabric needed is 7\dfrac14$ yards.

What is the volume of a ball if the diameter if the ball is 6 inches? Leave your answer in terms of π.
kap26 [50]
<span>Volume  = 4/3*pi*r^3
As diameter = 6 inches
Radius = Diameter / 2
Radius = 6/ 2
Radius = 3 inches
Putting the value of r in the formula :
 =4/3*pi*3^3
</span><span> =4/3*pi*27
 </span>= 36*pi 
So according to above explanation,
<span>B) V = 36 π cubic inches , is the correct answer.</span>
