A CBS News/New York Times opinion poll asked 1,190 adults whether they would prefer balancing the federal budget over cutting ta
nikklg [1K]

Using the <u>normal distribution and the central limit theorem</u>, it is found that there is a 0.0166 = 1.66% probability of a sample proportion of 0.59 or less.

In a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the z-score of a measure X is given by:

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

  • It 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, which is the percentile of X.
  • By the Central Limit Theorem, the sampling distribution of sampling proportions of a proportion p in a sample of size n has mean \mu = p and standard error s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1 - p)}{n}}

In this problem:

  • 1,190 adults were asked, hence n = 1190
  • In fact 62% of all adults favor balancing the budget over cutting taxes, hence p = 0.62.

The mean and the standard error are given by:

\mu = p = 0.62

s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1 - p)}{n}} = \sqrt{\frac{0.62(0.38)}{1190}} = 0.0141

The probability of a sample proportion of 0.59 or less is the <u>p-value of Z when X = 0.59</u>, hence:

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}

Z = \frac{0.59 - 0.62}{0.0141}

Z = -2.13

Z = -2.13 has a p-value of 0.0166.

0.0166 = 1.66% probability of a sample proportion of 0.59 or less.

The graph of the function f(x) = -(x+3)(x - 1) is shown below. What is true about the domain and range of the function? у The do
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

The domain will be all real numbers, range will be all real numbers below -3

Step-by-step explanation:

its quadratic so it goes forever left and right. but the vertex has a y value of -3. It is a negative sloped graph, so anything below that is in the range

What is the equation of this graphed line?
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

y = -1/3x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Use rise over run to find the slope: (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

Plug in the points:

(y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

(-7 + 3) / (6 + 6)

-4 / 12

= -1/3

Plug in the slope and a point into y = mx + b, and solve for b:

y = mx + b

-3 = -1/3(-6) + b

-3 = 2 + b

-5 = b

Plug in the slope and b into y = mx + b

y = -1/3x - 5 is the equation of the line
