Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

|-10+4| = |-6|= 6

inside the | | the equation is done normally. that's why it has a negative at first. then, once getting rid of the bars, you change the number to a positive

Answer:

$\boxed {\tt b(-10)=6}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the function:

$b(x)= \mid x+4 \mid$

We want to find b(-10). Therefore, we must plug -10 in for each x.

$b(-10)= \mid -10+4 \mid$

Solve inside of the absolute value symbol. Add 4 to -10 ⇒ -10+4= -6

$b(-10)= \mid -6 \mid$

Absolute value represents how far away a number is from 0. It is always positive.

-6 is 6 away from 0. Therefore, the absolute value of -6 is 6.

$b(-10)= 6$

b(-10) is equal to 6.

Answer:

0.0838 = 8.38% probability of obtaining a sample proportion less than 0.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal Probability Distribution

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the z-score 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 p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

For a proportion p in a sample of size n, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion will be approximately normal with mean $\mu = p$ and standard deviation $s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}$
