Elijah and Tyler, two high school juniors, conducted a survey on 13 students at their school, asking the students whether they w

ould like the school to offer an after-school art program, counted the number of "yes" answers, and recorded the sample proportion. 12 out of the 13 students responded "yes." They repeated this 100 times and built a distribution of sample means.
(a) What is this distribution called?
(b) Would you expect the shape of this distribution to be symmetric, right skewed, or left skewed?
Explain your reasoning.
(c) Calculate the variability of this distribution and state the appropriate term used to refer to
this value.
(d) Suppose that the students were able to recruit a few more friends to help them with sampling,
and are now able to collect data from random samples of 25 students. Once again, they
record the number of \yes" answers, and record the sample proportion, and repeat this 100
times to build a new distribution of sample proportions. How will the variability of this new
distribution compare to the variability of the original distribution?

Answer:

a. The sampling distribution of the sample proportion

b. Left skewed

c. Standard Error (S.E) = 0.0739

d. Decrease

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Given x = 12, n = 13 and p = 12/13

The distribution of sample proportion is called the sampling distribution of the sample proportion.

b. The given sample proportion is 12 out of 13. If this is a typical sample proportion, then most sample proportions will lie about 12, but there could be a few unusually low sample proportions and thus the distribution could be skewed left.

c. The variability of the sampling distribution of the sample proportion is measured by the standard error of the proportion which is the square root of the product of the proportion p and 1 - p divided by the sample size n.

S.E = √((p(1 - p))/n)

= √((12/13(1 - 12/13))/13)

= √((12/13 * 1/13)/13)

= 0.073905344867

= 0.0739

d. Given n = 25, as the sample size increases, the standard error of the proportion will decrease and the variability in the sample proportion will decrease too.

Decompose the rectangle along the diagonal and recompose the two pieces to make a different shape
zaharov [31]

Decompose the rectangle along the diagonal and recompose the two pieces to make a different shape, then five different ways are shown.

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

Area is the number of squares inside a two-dimensional shape.

Here are two important principles for finding area:

  • If two figures can be placed one on top of the other, then they have the same area so that they match up exactly.
  • We can decompose a figure (break a figure into pieces) and rearrange the pieces (move the pieces around) to find its area.

A rectangle has two diagonals. Each one is a line segment drawn between the opposite vertices (corners) of the rectangle. For rectangle, shapes can be decomposed and rearranged back to rectangles to find the area.  When decomposing and rearranging shapes the area of the polygon does not change.

The rectangle is shown in the picture below. After decompose the rectangle along the diagonal, we can varied the pieces to make various different shape. Picture below also shown the five different ways pieces from the rectangle.

Determine the vertex of the function f(x) = 2(x − 5)2 + 8.
choli [55]

Answer:

Vertex ( 5 ,8) .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given  : f(x) = 2(x − 5)² + 8.

To find : Determine the vertex of the function .

Solution : We have given

f(x) = 2(x − 5)² + 8.

Vertex form of parabola  : f (x) = a(x - h)² + k, where (h, k) is the vertex.

On comparing f(x) = 2(x − 5)² + 8. with vertex form of parabola.

a = 2 , h = 5 , k = 8 .

Vertex ( 5 ,8) .

Therefore, Vertex ( 5 ,8) .

The histogram represents the number of gallons of gasoline that drivers purchase weekly. Which bar represents the number of gall
padilas [110]

Answer:

option B) Bar 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The histogram represent the number of gallons of gasoline on x axis.

The number of drivers purchase weekly on y axis.

In this histogram 5 Bars are shown.

First bar represents = 5 drivers

Second bar represents = 6 drivers

Third bar represents = 1 driver

Fourth bar represents = 3 drivers

Fifth bar represents = = 4 drivers

So the second bar represents the the number of gallons most drivers purchased during the week.

Therefore, option B) Bar 2 is the correct answer.

A scuba diver diving with an 80 cubic foot tank of air, needs to resurface when his air in the
Burka [1]

At sea level atmospheric pressure is 1 bar absolute (1 standard atmosphere =101 kPa=1.013 bars). The weight of the atmosphere exerts a pressure which will support a column of water 10 m high; 10 m under water the pressure on a diver is 200 kPa. The volume of gas in an early diving bell full of air at sea level is halved at 10 m according to Boyle’s law; at 20 m pressure is 300 kPa absolute and the gas is compressed into one third the volume.

Dry air is composed of roughly 21% oxygen, 78% nitrogen, and 1% other gases. According to Dalton’s law the partial pressure of oxygen at any depth will be 21% of the total pressure exerted by the air and the partial pressure of nitrogen will be 78% of total pressure.

Gases dissolve in the liquid with which they are in contact. Nitrogen is fat soluble and at sea level we have several litres dissolved in our bodies. If the partial pressure of nitrogen is doubled (by breathing air at 10 m depth) for long enough for equilibration to take place we will contain twice as many dissolved nitrogen molecules as at sea level.
