Answer:

Option A is right

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that approximately 52% of all recent births were boys. In a simple random sample of 100 recent births, 49 were boys and 51 were girls. The most likely explanation for the difference between the observed results and the expected results in this case is

A) variability due to sampling

-- True because there is a slight difference whichmay be due to sampling fluctuations.

B) bias

False because given that 100 random births selected

C) nonsampling error

False.  There is no chance for systematic error here.

d) Confounding:  There is no confounding variable present inchild birth since each is independent of the other

e) a sampling frame that is incomplete

False because the sampling is done correctly.

This will be your formula:
\frac{32}{800}  =  \frac{120}{x}
cross multiply (32 times x) (120 times 800)

7: Triangle Similarity (Help, It would mean so much please & Thank you)
Ronch [10]
Answer: Question #1 The height of the tree is about 18 feet.

To solve this problem, you have to write a proportion using the similar triangles that are drawn. The height of the tree matches the height of the person and the shadows match.

Therefore, we can write and solve the following equation:

x/15 = 5.5/4.5
82.5 = 4.5x 
x = 18.33

In studying the insurance preferences of homeowners the following conclusions are made: A homeowner is three times as likely to
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

0.632

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a homeowner is three times as likely to purchase additional jewelry coverage as additional electronics coverage

If probability of purchasing additional electronics coverage = p, then prob of purchasing jewelry coverage = 3p

The two events are independent hence joint probability is product of these two.

i.e. P(both) = p(3p) =3p^2

This is given as 0.2

3p^2 =0.2\\p = 0.258

the probability that a homeowner purchases exactly one coverage.

=P(AUB)-P(A \bigcap B)

= Prob he purchases I + prob he purchases II-2(prob he purchases both)

= 0.258+3(0.258)-2(0.2)\\=0.632

A room contains three urns: u1, u2, u3. u1 contains 3 red and 2 yellow marbles. u2 contains 3 red and 7 yellow marbles. u3 conta
Archy [21]

Answer:

\dfrac{11}{30}

Step-by-step explanation:

Urn U1: 3 red and 2 yellow marbles, in total 5 marbles.

The probability to select red marble is \dfrac{3}{5}=0.6.

Urn U2: 3 red and 7 yellow marbles, in total 10 marbles.

The probability to select red marble is \dfrac{3}{10}=0.3.

Urn U1: 1 red and 4 yellow marbles, in total 5 marbles.

The probability to select red marble is \dfrac{1}{5}=0.2.

The probability to choose each urn is the same and is equal to \frac{1}{3}.

Thus, the probability that the marble is red is

\dfrac{1}{3}\cdot 0.6+\dfrac{1}{3}\cdot 0.3+\dfrac{1}{3}\cdot 0.2=\dfrac{1.1}{3}=\dfrac{11}{30}.
