A recent survey found that 86% of employees plan to devote at least some work time to follow games during the NCAA Men's Basketb

all Tournament. A random sample of 100 employees was selected. What is the probability that less than 80% of this sample will devote work time to follow games?

Answer:

4.18% probability that less than 80% of this sample will devote work time to follow games

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal probability distribution

When the distribution is normal, we use 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.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}.

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

For a proportion p in a sample of size n, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion will be approximately normal with mean \mu = p and standard deviation s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}

In this question, we have that:

p = 0.86, n = 100

So

\mu = 0.86, s = \sqrt{\frac{0.86*0.14}{100}} = 0.0347

What is the probability that less than 80% of this sample will devote work time to follow games?

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 0.8. So

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

Z = \frac{0.8 - 0.86}{0.0347}

Z = -1.73

Z = -1.73 has a pvalue of 0.0418

4.18% probability that less than 80% of this sample will devote work time to follow games

Solve the system of equations by graphing.
valentinak56 [21]
The answer is A.

The way you know this is by graphing the first function.

The second function is in a different format, so you just have to isolate Y. 

-1/3x + y = -1
y= 1/3x -1  OR y= -1 + 1/3x

both of the functions have the same slope, but different y-intercepts. therefore, they'll never touch. making them infinite solutions.

it's also A because both of the slopes are positive, the slopes in graph D are negative.

So, the answer is A.

Hope this helps! xx

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^

1. Let's write out the equation to subtract.

7t - 2u - 3v - (t - 3v)

Distribute the negative to the t and -3v.

7t - 2u - 3v - t + 3v         (The negatives cancel out)

Now simplify by combining like terms.

6t - 2u

This is the answer because the 3v and -3v cancel out.

2. I don't really understand what this is saying. Is there answer choices for this? But what I think its saying is that the lift has a constant of 2.

3. To find out the amount of terms, we would simplify the equation.

2x + 3y - 5x + yz - x

-4x  + 3y + yx

Here, we can see that we have 3 terms in this expression.

-4x is the first term, +3y is the second term, and +yx is the third term.

Matthew deposits $400 into an account that earns 7% interest compounded quarterly. What is the balance in his account after 10 y
user100 [1]

Answer:

$787

Step-by-step explanation:

In terms of interest

To find the multiplier using '7% more' continues as follows

100% + 7% = 107%

107/100 = 1.07 (multiplier)

Add the ten years as a power to the multiplier

1.07^10

And multiply this by $400

400 x 1.07^10 = 786.860542916

To the nearest dollar = $787
