The algebraic expression which represents the square of the difference of s and 6 is (s - 6)²

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us represent some words by mathematics expressions

Square a number ⇒ x²
Square the sum of two numbers ⇒ (x + y)²
Sum of the squares of two numbers ⇒ x² + y²
Square of difference of two numbers (x - y)²
The difference of square two numbers x² - y²

∵ The expression is the square of the difference of s and 6

- That means find the difference between s and 6 at first,

then square the difference

∵ The difference of s and 6 = s - 6

- Square this difference means but the difference in a bracket

and then square the bracket

∴ The square of the difference = (s - 6)²

The algebraic expression which represents the square of the difference of s and 6 is (s - 6)²

Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

Explained below.

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:

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

(a)

The sample selected is of size <em>n</em> = 450 > 30.

Then according to the central limit theorem the sampling distribution of sample proportion is normally distributed.

The mean and standard deviation are:

$\mu_{\hat p}=p=0.75\\\\\sigma_{\hat p}=\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}=\sqrt{\frac{0.75(1-0.75)}{450}}=0.0204$

So, the sampling distribution of sample proportion is $\hat p\sim N(0.75,0.0204^{2})$ .

(b)

Compute the probability that the sample proportion will be within 0.04 of the population proportion as follows:

$P(p-0.04$

$=P(-1.96$

Thus, the probability that the sample proportion will be within 0.04 of the population proportion is 0.95.

(c)

The sample selected is of size <em>n</em> = 200 > 30.

Then according to the central limit theorem the sampling distribution of sample proportion is normally distributed.

The mean and standard deviation are:

$\mu_{\hat p}=p=0.75\\\\\sigma_{\hat p}=\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}=\sqrt{\frac{0.75(1-0.75)}{200}}=0.0306$

So, the sampling distribution of sample proportion is $\hat p\sim N(0.75,0.0306^{2})$ .

(d)

Compute the probability that the sample proportion will be within 0.04 of the population proportion as follows:

$P(p-0.04$

$=P(-1.31$

Thus, the probability that the sample proportion will be within 0.04 of the population proportion is 0.81.

(e)

The probability that the sample proportion will be within 0.04 of the population proportion if the sample size is 450 is 0.95.

And the probability that the sample proportion will be within 0.04 of the population proportion if the sample size is 200 is 0.81.

So, there is a gain in precision on increasing the sample size.
