Answer:

The probability is 0.5188

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of students that are graduate students is 480, from this quantity 240 are female and 240 are male. So, there are 1540 not graduated students.

For calculate the probability of select a college student that will be a male student or a graduate student is necessary to know the number of graduate students that are male.

Let call x the number of male from not graduated student. From the question we know that the 40% of the 2020 students are male and 240 of the graduate students are male too. So we can formulate the following equation:

240 + x = 2020(0.4)

x=568

So, there are 568 male from not graduated students.

Then the probability can be calculate as:

P=\frac{ 480 + 568 }{ 2020}

Because there are 480 students that are graduated beetween male and female and from not graduate students there are 568 that are male. So the total number of  students that are male or graduate students are 1040. Finally the probabilitty is:

P=1024/2020 = 0.5188

480/2020=23.76%

add that to the population that is male (40%)

63.76% chance of either male or graduate

as a fraction: 480/2020+808/2020 ; 1288/2020 or 322/505

Consider random samples of size 50 from a population with proportion 0.15
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

a) Mean = 0.75

b) Standard error = 0.051

c) Yes                              

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Sample size, n = 50

Sample proportion , p = 0.15

a) Mean

\mu = np = 50(0.15) = 7.5

b) Standard error

S.E = \sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}} = \sqrt{\dfrac{0.15(1-0.15)}{50}} = 0.051

c) Application of central limit theorem

Since the sample size is larger than 30, we cam apply central limit theorem for normal approximation.
