Answer:

P(X < 126) = 0.0418

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we use the binomial approximation to the normal to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

Can be approximated to a normal distribution, using the expected value and the standard deviation.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

$E(X) = np$

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

$\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}$

Normal probability distribution

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

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

When we are approximating a binomial distribution to a normal one, we have that $\mu = E(X)$ , $\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)}$ .

Sample of 203, 67.5% of the U.S. population were born in their state of residence.

This means that $n = 203, p = 0.675$

So, for the approximation:

$\mu = E(X) = np = 203*0.675 = 137.025$

$\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{203*0.675*0.325} = 6.67$

What is the probability that fewer than 126 were born in their state of residence?

Using continuity correction, this is P(X < 126 - 0.5) = P(X < 125.5), which is the pvalue of Z when X = 125.5. So

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{125.5 - 137.025}{6.67}$

$Z = -1.73$

$Z = -1.73$ has a pvalue of 0.0418

So

P(X < 126) = 0.0418

a student used his place value chart to show a number after the teacher instructed him to divide his number by 100 the chart sho

Anna35 [415]

<span>A student divided the given number by 100 that resulted to 28.003 in his chart. So what we are looking for this situation is the value of the number before it was divided by 100.
To get the value, simply multiply the result by 100
=> 28.003 x 100
=> 2800.3
by dividing 100 to the given number, we simply move the value to the right in a value of hundreds.
See attached Image.

What is the radius of the incircle of a regular hexagon with a side of 20 cm ?

Kaylis [27]

10√3 cm.
The radius of an incircle of a hexagon is the same measure as the apothem. find the apothem by taking half of the central angle and create a right triangle perpendicular to the side. The central angle is 60 so the angle opposite the side length will be 30. this creates a 30-60-90 triangle with the ratio x:x√3:2x. half the side opposite 30 is 10, so x=10. the base angle of the side is 60 so it will be x√3. plug in 10 for x to get 10√3 cm.
