The Town of Hertfordshire clerk knows that 23% of dogs in the town have completed emotional support training. Hertfordshire plan

s on showcasing a simple random sample of its dogs in a show. Depending on which dogs are chosen, the proportion of emotional support trained dogs may vary. In a sample of 100 dogs, what is the probability that under 30% of the dogs are emotional support trained?

Answer:

95.64% probability that under 30% of the dogs are emotional support trained

Step-by-step explanation:

For each dog, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they have completed emotional support training, or they have not. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this problem.

However, we are working with samples that are considerably big. So i am going to aproximate this binomial distribution to the normal.

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 samples 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)}.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = E(X) = np = 100*0.23 = 23

\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{100*0.23*0.77} = 4.21

What is the probability that under 30% of the dogs are emotional support trained?

30% of 100 is 0.3*100 = 30

So this is the pvalue of Z when X = 30.

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

Z = \frac{30 - 23}{4.1}

Z = 1.71

Z = 1.71 has a pvalue of 0.9564.

So there is a 95.64% probability that under 30% of the dogs are emotional support trained

Write the letters of the expressions that are equivalent to the given expression.
Tresset [83]

Answer: A.) 10x + 15

Step-by-step explanation:

You would distribute (multiply) the 5 to the 2x which would then make it 10x and you would distribute (multiply) the 5 to the 3 which would then make it 15. Because the 5 is a positive number the sign stays the same.

Therefore, 10x + 15 is your answer.

1. Michael invests $2000 in an annuity that offers an interest rate of 4% compounded quarterly for 5 years. What is the value of
Amanda [17]
1. The formula for annual compound interest, including principal sum, is:

A = P (1 + r/n)ⁿˣ

Where:

A = the future value = ?
P = the principal investment amount = $2000
r = interest rate = 4%
n = the number of times that interest is compounded per year = 4
x = the number of years = 5

Calculations:

A = 2000 (1 + 0.04/4)²⁰

A = 2000 (1 + 0.01)²⁰

A = 2000 (1.01)²⁰

A = 2000 ₓ 1.22

A = $2440.38 


2. The formula for annual compound interest, including principal sum, is:

A = P (1 + r/n)ⁿˣ

Where:

A = the future value = ?
P = the principal investment amount = $50
r = interest rate = 48%
n = the number of times that interest is compounded per year = 12
x = the number of years = 2

Calculations:

A = 50 (1 + 0.48/12)²⁴

A = 50 (1 + 0.04)²⁴

A = 50 (1.04)²⁴

A = 50 ₓ 2.56

A = $128.16


3. The formula for annual compound interest, including principal sum, is:

A = P (1 + r/n)ⁿˣ

Where:

A = the future value = ?
P = the principal investment amount = $50
r = interest rate = 4%
n = the number of times that interest is compounded per year = 12
x = the number of years = 3

Calculations:

A = 50 (1 + 0.04/12)³⁶

A = 50 (1 + 0.003)³⁶

A = 50 (1.003)³⁶

A = 50 ₓ 1.12

A = $56.36

a polynomial function has a zero at -1,2, and 7( all multiplicity 1) write a function in standard form that could represent this
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

x^3-8x^2+5x+14

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given the zeroes of polynomial which are -1,2,7

That means the factors are (x+1) (x-2) (x-7)

When we want to a polynomial from zeroes we multiply the factors

(x+1)(x-2)(x-7)

(x+1)(x^2-7x-2x+14)

(x+1)(x^2-9x+14)

(x^3-9x^2+14x+x^2-9x+14

x^3-8x^2+5x+14

Hence, the required polynomial is:

x^3-8x^2+5x+14
