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

2x+10=5y-4 solve for x
scoundrel [369]

Answer: x=2.5y-7

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract 10 from both sides, resulting in 2x=5y-14

Divide both sides by 2 to isolate the x, resulting in x=(5/2)y-7

vodka [1.7K]
The angles of all triangles should always sum up to be 180, so knowing this we can solve this problem using the equation x + 3x + 5x - 54 = 180, first we want to combine all our common variables, so we add the x’s together and get 9x - 54 = 180 then we add +54 to both sides so that the x can be by itself and we have 9x = 234, we divide both sides by 9 and get our final answer of x = 26

Find m∠1 if m∠1 = 6x and m∠CAB = 11x+9<br><br> NEED HELP ASAP PLEASE!
leva [86]

Answer:

<1 = 54

Step-by-step explanation:

< CAB = <1 + <2

We have to assume that AP is a perpendicular bisector or we cannot solve the problem.

That would mean that <1 = <2

11x+9 = 6x+6x

11x+9 = 12x

Subtract 11x from each side

9 = 12x-11x

9 =x

We want <1

<1= 6x

<1 = 6*9

<1 = 54
