Scotland has been a member of the United Kingdom since the 1707 Act of Union. In a recent poll, 38% of Scots would vote in favor

of leaving the U.K. A random sample of 135 Scots was selected. What is the probability that between 50 and 60 of them were in favor of leaving the U.K.?

Answer:

57.39% probability that between 50 and 60 of them were in favor of leaving the U.K.

Step-by-step explanation:

I am going to use the normal approximmation to the binomial to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

Can be approximated to a normal distribution, using the expected value and the standard deviation.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

E(X) = np

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples can be 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.

When we are approximating a binomial distribution to a normal one, we have that \mu = E(X), \sigma = \sqrt{V(X)}.

In this problem, we have that:

n = 135, p = 0.38

So

\mu = E(X) = np = 135*0.38 = 51.3

\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{135*0.38*0.62} = 5.6397

What is the probability that between 50 and 60 of them were in favor of leaving the U.K.?

Using continuity correction, this is P(50-0.5 \leq X \leq 60 + 0.5) = P(49.5 \leq X \leq 60.5). So this is the pvalue of Z when X = 60.5 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 49.5. So

X = 60.5

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

Z = \frac{60.5 - 51.3}{5.6397}

Z = 1.63

Z = 1.63 has a pvalue of 0.9484

X = 49.5

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

Z = \frac{49.5 - 51.3}{5.6397}

Z = -0.32

Z = -0.32 has a pvalue of 0.3745

0.9484 - 0.3745 = 0.5739

57.39% probability that between 50 and 60 of them were in favor of leaving the U.K.

A circle has a diameter of 8cm, what is the perimeter and the area of the circle
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

❥

Diameter of a circle is 8 cm. Then find out the area and perimeter of the circle.

❥

Area of circle is 50.29(≈)cm² and perimeter of circle is 25.14(≈)cm.

❥

•Given :-

Diameter of the circle = 8 cm.

•To find :-

Area and perimeter of the circle.

• Solution :-

Let the radius of the circle be r cm.

Diameter = 8 cm.

We know,

★

So, Radius (r) = 8/2= 4 cm.

We know,

★

Area of circle= πr²

→Area of circle=

→Area of circle=

→Area of circle= 50.29(≈)cm²

____________________________

We know,

★

Perimeter of circle= 2πr

→ Perimeter of circle=

→Perimeter of circle=25.14(≈)cm

I need help with Math ASAP plz!!
True [87]

Answer:

x = (74-28)/2

Step-by-step explanation:

We find the perimeter of a triangle by adding the sides together

s1 +s2+s3 = P

The perimeter is 74

s1 +s2+s3 = 74

We know one of the sides is 28

28 +s2+s3 = 74

The other two sides are equal in length, call them x

28 +x+x = 74

Combine like terms

28+2x = 74

We want to solve for x

Subtract 28 from each side

28-28+2x = 74-28

2x = 74-28

Divide each side by 2

2x/2 = (74-28)/2

x = (74-28)/2
