Blood pressure: High blood pressure has been identified as a risk factor for heart attacks and strokes. The proportion of U.S. a

dults with high blood pressure is 0.2. A sample of 37 U.S. adults is chosen. Use the TI-84 Plus Calculator as needed. Round the answer to at least four decimal places.

Answer:

p \sim N(p,\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}})

For this case we know this:

n=37 ,  p=0.2

We can find the standard error like this:

SE = \sqrt{\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{n}}= \sqrt{\frac{0.2*0.8}{37}}= 0.0658

So then our random variable can be described as:

p \sim N(0.2, 0.0658)

Let's suppose that the question on this case is find the probability that the population proportion would be higher than 0.4:

P(p>0.4)

We can use the z score given by:

z = \frac{p -\mu_p}{SE_p}

And using this we got this:

P(p>0.4) = 1-P(z< \frac{0.4-0.2}{0.0658}) = 1-P(z

And we can find this probability using the Ti 84 on this way:

2nd> VARS> DISTR > normalcdf

And the code that we need to use for this case would be:

1-normalcdf(-1000, 3.04; 0;1)

Or equivalently we can use:

1-normalcdf(-1000, 0.4; 0.2;0.0658)

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to check if we can use the normal approximation:

np = 37 *0.2 = 7.4 \geq 5

n(1-p) = 37*0.8 = 29.6\geq 5

We assume independence on each event and a random sampling method so we can conclude that we can use the normal approximation and then ,the population proportion have the following distribution :

p \sim N(p,\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}})

For this case we know this:

n=37 ,  p=0.2

We can find the standard error like this:

SE = \sqrt{\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{n}}= \sqrt{\frac{0.2*0.8}{37}}= 0.0658

So then our random variable can be described as:

p \sim N(0.2, 0.0658)

Let's suppose that the question on this case is find the probability that the population proportion would be higher than 0.4:

P(p>0.4)

We can use the z score given by:

z = \frac{p -\mu_p}{SE_p}

And using this we got this:

P(p>0.4) = 1-P(z< \frac{0.4-0.2}{0.0658}) = 1-P(z

And we can find this probability using the Ti 84 on this way:

2nd> VARS> DISTR > normalcdf

And the code that we need to use for this case would be:

1-normalcdf(-1000, 3.04; 0;1)

1-normalcdf(-1000, 0.4; 0.2;0.0658)

Since both of the angles are supplementary, you'd set the expressions up into an equation equal to 180(degrees).
So, your equation should look like:
                       22x + 4 + 35x + 5 = 180.
Next, you combine your like terms so that your next move will look like:
                       57x + 9 = 180.
Then you'd follow the subtraction and division property, so your next moves will look as the following:
                       57x + 9 - 9 = 180 - 9 equals 171
                       57x / 57 = 171 / 57 equals 3
So, finally, your answer is: x = 3.

0.8 is 20% of what number?
Rom4ik [11]

0.8 is 20% of 4. This is because 20% of something occurs when something is divided by 5, since it is 1/5 of 100. You multiply 0.8*5, and you get 4.

What are the domain and range of the function
atroni [7]

Answer:

Domain (-∞,∞)

Range (0, ∞)

Step-by-step explanation:

The domain of a function is always the set of all real numbers therefore the domain is going to be (-∞,∞). The range is (0, ∞) because 0 is one of the outputs for the function

Wich of the following expressions are equivalent to - 2/3 ? select all that apply​
MrRa [10]

Answer:

A, C and E

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify each expression to lowest terms. Equivalent expressions will be any expressions which are equal after simplifying to lowest terms.

A. -1/9 * 6 = -6/9 = -2/3

B. -15/10 = -3/2

C. 12/-18 = -2/3

D. -3/4 * 2/1 = -6/4 = -3/2

E. -8/9 * 3/4 = -24/36 = -2/3
