A minority representation group accuses a major bank of racial discrimination in its recent hires for financial analysts. Exactl

y 16% of all applications were from minority members, and exactly 15% of the 2100 open positions were filled by members of the minority.
a. Find the mean of p, where p is the proportion of minority member applications in a random sample of 2100 that is drawn from all applications.

b. Find the standard deviation of p.

c. Compute an approximation for P ( p leq 0.15), which is the probability that there will be 15% or fewer minority member applications in a random sample of 2100 drawn from all applications. Round your answer to four decimal places.

Answer:

a) 0.16

b) 0.0518

c) P(p \leq 0.15) = 0.4247

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

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.

For a proportion p in a sample of size n, we have that the mean is \mu = p and the standard deviation is \sigma = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}

In this problem, we have that:

p = 0.16, n = 50

a. Find the mean of p, where p is the proportion of minority member applications in a random sample of 2100 that is drawn from all applications.

The mean of p is 0.16.

b. Find the standard deviation of p.

\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{0.16*0.84}{50}} = 0.0518

c. Compute an approximation for P ( p leq 0.15), which is the probability that there will be 15% or fewer minority member applications in a random sample of 2100 drawn from all applications. Round your answer to four decimal places.

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 0.15. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{0.15 - 0.16}{0.0518}

Z = -0.19

Z = -0.19 has a pvalue of 0.4247

P(p \leq 0.15) = 0.4247

PLEASE HELP I REALLY NEED IT
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

9. Force is required to change an object velocity.Force is equal to mass times acceleration.

10.  Force acting on object are paired with equal and opposite forces

Step-by-step explanation:

9.

Newton's 2nd law states that force is a product of mass and acceleration.In this case, the force of friction is causing deceleration of the ball.This is an example of rolling friction.Acceleration of the ball depends directly on this friction but indirectly on its mass.

10.

From Newton's 3rd Law ,for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.The astronaut throwing the ball will experience the effect of an external force againts his own which is equal  and  in the opposite direction to the force she applied.This is why the astronaut moves backward but slower.
