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

4. An oil palm plantation uses fertiliser at a rate of 350 kg per hectare. State the rate of
otez555 [7]

Answer:

35

Step-by-step explanation:

1kg= 1000g

1 hectare = 10 000 m²

1 kg/hct = 1000/10 000 g/m²

1 kg/hct = 1 / 10 g/m²

350 kg per hectare is equal to 350 / 10 = 35 g/m²

What is the sum of the first 6 terms of the series <br> -1+4-16+...
Romashka [77]

Answer:

819

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

  • a = -1
  • r = - 4
  • n = 6

Formula

Sum = a(1 - r^n) / ( 1 - r)

Sum = -1(1 - (-4)^6 / (1 - -4)

Sum = -1 (1 - 4096) / 5

Sum = -1 (- 4095 ) / 5

Sum = 819

I will give brainliest if applicable
insens350 [35]

Answer:

The average is exactly 26,375 gallons of gas per hour.

How I found this is buy subtracting each numbers like 422,000 - 369,250 = 52,750. 369,250 - 316,500 = 52, 750 and so on. They all ended up being 52,750, but then I realized that they are all 2 hours apart and the question asks of gallons of gas per 1 hour so then I divided 52,750 in half and got my final answer, 26,375.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is how much gas the jet uses per 1 hour

my question doesn't ask me to create a linear model but it asks for gasoline per hour, and it's just like this question with the same graph so if you have the same as me this is the answer.

Write the recursive rule and the iterative rule for the following sequence: 10, 6, 2, -2, -6
barxatty [35]
The recursive rule is
a_n=a_{n-1}+(-4). 
The iterative rule is
a_n=14-4n

The recursive rule is given by the formula 
a_n=a_{n-1}+d, where d is the common difference.  Our common difference is -4, which gives us the recursive rule above.

The iterative rule begins with the formula
a_n=a_1+d(n-1), where a₁ is the first term and d is the common difference.  Our first term is 10 and our common difference is -4:
a_n=10+(-4)(n-1)&#10;\\\text{Using the Distributive Property,}&#10;\\&#10;\\a_n=10+(-4*n)+(-4*-1)&#10;\\&#10;\\a_n=10-4n+4&#10;\\&#10;\\\text{Combining like terms,}&#10;\\&#10;\\a_n=14-4n
