A government agency has specialists who analyze the frequencies of letters of the alphabet in an attempt to decipher intercepted

messages. In standard English​ text, a particular letter is used at a rate of 5.7​%. a. Find the mean and standard deviation for the number of times this letter will be found on a typical page of 1600 characters. muequals 91.2 ​(Do not​ round.) sigmaequals 9.3 ​(Round to one decimal place as​ needed.) b. In an intercepted​ message, a page of 1600 characters is found to have the letter occurring 102 times. Is this​ unusual?\

Answer:

A) μ = 91.2; σ = 9.3

B) No

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the mean, μ, we use the formula

μ = np, where n is the sample size and p is the probability of success (percentage of times the letter is used).

This gives us

μ = 0.057(1600) = 91.2

To find the standard deviation, we use the formula

σ = √(np(1-p)

This gives us

σ = √(1600×0.057×(1-0.057))

= √(1600×0.057×0.943) = √86.0016 = 9.2737 ≈ 9.3≈

Any value that is more than two standard deviations from the mean is considered unusual.  The value 102 is

(102-91.2)/9.3 = 10.8/9.3 = 1.16 standard deviations from the mean.  This is not statistically unusual.

The measure of each interior angle of a regular polygon is 150 how many sides does the polygon have?
Dmitry [639]
The exterior and an interior angles always add up to 180 degrees.
180-150=One exterior angle
180-150=30
We know that all of the exterior angles add up to 360
360/30= the number of sides
360/30=12
The shape has 12 sides.

Since an instant replay system for tennis was introduced at a major​ tournament, men challenged 1406 referee​ calls, with the re
erastova [34]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a test of 2 population proportions. Let 1 and 2 be the subscript for men and women players. The population proportions of men and women challenges for calls would be p1 and p2

P1 - P2 = difference in the proportion of men and women challenges for calls.

The null hypothesis is

H0 : p1 = p2

p1 - p2 = 0

The alternative hypothesis is

Ha : p1 ≠ p2

p1 - p2 ≠ 0

it is a two tailed test

Sample proportion = x/n

Where

x represents number of success(number of complaints)

n represents number of samples

For old dough

x1 = 416

n1 = 1406

P1 = 416/1406 = 0.3

For new dough,

x2 = 217

n2 = 778

P2 = 217/778 = 0.28

The pooled proportion, pc is

pc = (x1 + x2)/(n1 + n2)

pc = (416 + 217)/(1406 + 778) = 0.29

1 - pc = 1 - 0.29 = 0.71

z = (P1 - P2)/√pc(1 - pc)(1/n1 + 1/n2)

z = (0.3 - 0.28)/√(0.29)(0.71)(1/1406 + 1/778) = 0.02/√0.00553857907

z = 0.99

Since it is a two tailed test, the curve is symmetrical. We will look at the area in both tails. Since it is showing in one tail only, we would double the area

From the normal distribution table, the area below the test z score to the left of 0.99 is 1 - 0.84 = 0.16

We would double this area to include the area in the left tail of z = - 0.99 Thus

p = 0.16 × 2 = 0.32

Since 0.1 < 0.5, we would accept the null hypothesis.

p value = 0.337

Since 0.05 < 0.32, we would accept the null hypothesis
