y 20% of all its current stockholders, suppoer that the belif is correct, a random sample of 130 stockholderss is taken.
a. What is the standard error of the sample proportion who find this offer attractive?
b. What is the probability that the sample proportion is more than 0.15?
c. What is the probability that the sample proportion is between 0.18 and 0.22?
d. Suppose that a sample of 500 current stockholders had been taken. Without doing the calculations, state whether the probabilities in parts (b) and (c) would have been higher, lower, or the same as those found.

Answer:

a. What is the standard error of the sample proportion who find this offer attractive? = 0.0351

b. What is the probability that the sample proportion is more than 0.15? = 0.9222

c. What is the probability that the sample proportion is between 0.18 and 0.22? = 0.4314

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

p = 0.20

1 - p = 1 - 0.20 = 0.80

n = 130

\mu\hat p = p = 0.20

A) \sigma \hat p = \sqrt[p( 1 - p ) / n] = \sqrt [(0.20 * 0.80 ) / 130] = 0.0351

B) P( \hat p > 0.15) = 1 - P( \hat p < 0.15)

= 1 - P(( \hat p - \mu \hat p ) / \sigma \hat p < (0.15 - 0.20) / 0.0351 )

= 1 - P(z < -1.42)

Using z table

= 1 - 0.0778

= 0.9222

C) P(0.18 < \hat p < 0.22)

= P[(0.18 - 0.20) / 0.0351 < ( \hat p - \mu \hat p ) / \sigma \hat p < (0.22 - 0.20) / 0.0351]

= P(-0.57 < z < 0.57)

= P(z < 0.57) - P(z < -0.57)

Using z table,

= 0.7157 - 0.2843

= 0.4314

1) $a= -1$ , 2) $n=-2$

3) $x=4$ , 4) $n=0$

5) $r=1$ , 6) $r=2$

7) $No\,\,solution$ , 8) $p=-12$

9) $m=2$ , 10) $a=-3$

11) $x=4$ 12) $n=-2$

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to solve each equation.

1) $6a+5a = -11$

Solving:

Adding like terms:

$11a = -11$

Divide both sides by 11

$a= -1$

2) $-6n-2n=16$

Solving:

Adding like terms:

$-8n=16$

Divide by -8

$n=-2$

3) $4x+6+3=17$

Solving:

Adding like terms:

$4x+9=17$

Subtract 9 on both sides:

$4x=17-9$

$4x=8$

Divide both sides by 4

$x=4$

4) $0=-5n-2n$

Solving:

$0=-7n$

Divide both side by -7

$n=0$

5) $6r-1+6r=11$

Solving:

12r-1=11

Adding 1 on both sides

$12r=12$

Divide both sides by 12

$r=1$

6) $r+11+8r=29$

Solving:

$9r+11=29\\9r=29-11\\9r=18\\r=2$

7) $-10=-14v+14v$

Solving

$-10=-14v+14v\\-10\neq 0\\No\,\,solution$

8) $-10p+9p=12$

Solving:

$-10p+9p=12\\-p=12\\p=-12$

9) $42=8m+13m$

Solving:

$42=8m+13m\\42=21m\\m=42/21\\m=2$

10) $a-2+3=-2$

Solving:

$a-2+3=-2\\a+1=-2\\a=-2-1\\a=-3$

11) $18=3(3x-6)$

Solving:

$18=3(3x-6)\\18=9x-18\\18+18=9x\\36=9x\\x=36/9\\x=4$

12) $30=-5(6n+6)$

Solving:

$30=-5(6n+6)\\30=-30n-30\\30+30=-30n\\60=-30n\\n=60/-30\\n=-2$

Answer:

y = 6 when x = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

The appropriate formula for this direct proportion is y = kx, where k is the constant of proportionality.

We know y = 3 when x = 9: 3 = k(9)

This yields k = 3/9, or k = 1/3

Then the formula is y = (1/3)x

and when x = 18, y = (1/3)(18) = 6

y = 6 when x = 18
