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 .

If f and g are continuous functions with f(0) = 2 and the following limit, find g(0). lim_(x->0)[2 f(x) - g(x)] = -3
ladessa [460]

We have by distributivity of limits over sums, and continuity of f(x) and g(x), that

\displaystyle \lim_{x\to0} \bigg(2f(x) - g(x)\bigg) = 2 \lim_{x\to0} f(x) - \lim_{x\to0} g(x) = 2 f(0) - g(0)

Given f(0)=2, it follows that

2^2 - g(0) = -3 \implies g(0) = \boxed{7}

The zoo feeds the tortoise, rhinoceros, and zebra a total of 23 pounds of vegetables a day. How many pounds does the zoo feed th
vekshin1

If I understand your question correctly, you want to know how many pounds of vegetables the zoo feeds the animals a month if its a 30 day month?

In that case it would be 23 pounds times 30 days which is 690 pounds of vegetables. SO the zoo feeds the animals 690 pounds of vegetables to the animals each month.

Is that what your asking for?

The container that holds the water for the football team is 4/9 full. After pouring in 4
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer: 18 gallons.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the total gallons that the container can hold <em>x.</em>

<em> </em>Then, based on the information given in the problem, you can write the following expression:

\frac{4}{9}x+4=\frac{2}{3}x

Now, you must solve for x, as you can see below. Therefore, you obtain the following result:

\frac{4}{9}x+4=\frac{2}{3}x\\\\4=\frac{2}{3}x-\frac{4}{9}x\\\\4=\frac{2}{9}x\\\\4*9=2x\\\\36=2x\\\\x=18\ gallons
