Well we can learn that since the equation is in slope intercept form, 12 is the y-intercept and -0.04 is the slope

how many times as much is the number of students at Pengrove university has the number of students at Allentown College?

svp [43]

The answer would be: D-100. The reasoning of this is because if you take 3 X 10 to the third power and did the exponent (10 to the third power in this case) and multiplied it you would obviously get 1,000 for an answer. Then would would do 1,000 X 3 to get 3,000.

Consider the question of whether the home team wins more than half of its games in the National Basketball Association. Suppose

spayn [35]

Answer:

0.0037 = 0.37% probability that the home team would win 65% or more of its games in a simple random sample of 80 games

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 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.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes 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 $s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}$

The home team therefore wins 50% of its games

This means that $p = 0.5$

Determine the probability that the home team would win 65% or more of its games in a simple random sample of 80 games

Sample of 80 means that $n = 80$ and, by the Central Limit Theorem:

$\mu = p = 0.65$

$s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}} = \sqrt{\frac{0.5*0.5}{80}} = 0.0559$

This probability is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 0.65. So

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

$Z = \frac{0.65 - 0.5}{0.0559}$

$Z = 2.68$

$Z = 2.68$ has a pvalue of 0.9963

1 - 0.9963 = 0.0037

0.0037 = 0.37% probability that the home team would win 65% or more of its games in a simple random sample of 80 games
