A door delivery florist wishes to estimate the proportion of people in his city that will purchase his flowers. Suppose the true

proportion is 0.070.07. If 492492 are sampled, what is the probability that the sample proportion will differ from the population proportion by greater than 0.030.03?

Answer:

The probability that the sample proportion will differ from the population proportion by greater than 0.03 is 0.009.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Central limit theorem, if from an unknown population large samples of sizes n > 30, are selected and the sample proportion for each sample is computed then the sampling distribution of sample proportion follows a Normal distribution.

The mean of this sampling distribution of sample proportion is:

 \mu_{\hat p}=p

The standard deviation of this sampling distribution of sample proportion is:

 \sigma_{\hat p}=\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}

As the sample size is large, i.e. <em>n</em> = 492 > 30, the central limit theorem can be used to approximate the sampling distribution of sample proportion by the normal distribution.

The mean and standard deviation of the sampling distribution of sample proportion are:

\mu_{\hat p}=p=0.07\\\\\sigma_{\hat p}=\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}=\sqrt{\frac{0.07(1-0.07)}{492}}=0.012

Compute the probability that the sample proportion will differ from the population proportion by greater than 0.03 as follows:

P(|\hat p-p|>0.03)=P(|\frac{\hat p-p}{\sigma_{\hat p}}|>\frac{0.03}{0.012})

                           =P(|Z|>2.61)\\\\=1-P(|Z|\leq 2.61)\\\\=1-P(-2.61\leq Z\leq 2.61)\\\\=1-[P(Z\leq 2.61)-P(Z\leq -2.61)]\\\\=1-0.9955+0.0045\\\\=0.0090

Thus, the probability that the sample proportion will differ from the population proportion by greater than 0.03 is 0.009.

decide which part of the quadratic formula tells you whether the quadratic equation can be solved by factoring. −b b2 − 4ac 2a u
Romashka [77]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A quadratic equation can be factorised if and only if there are rational roots.

For any quadratic equation the discriminant decides about the nature of roots.

Thus only if the discriminant is a perfect square we can have rational roots and in this case only factorization is possible.

In the given equation

2x^2+ 7x+ 3 = 0\\a=2, b=7, c=3\\b^2-4ac = 1

Since 1 is a perfect square we can factor and solve

2x^2 +7x +3 = 0\\(2x+1)(x+3)=0\\x=-1/2 or x = -3

Tcecarenko [31]
Since CB || ED and CB = ED,

by the alternate interior angles theorem,
mE = mC, and mD = mB. 

with CB = ED, we can conclude that CBF = EDF, by SAS congruent theorem.
