Answer:

a. 0.0385

b. 3.44% probability that more than 50% of the college students from the sample spent their spring breaks relaxing at home

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal probability distribution

When the distribution is normal, we use 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}}

In this question:

p = 0.43, n = 165

a. Calculate the appropriate standard error calculation for the data.

s = \sqrt{\frac{0.43*0.57}{165}} = 0.0385

b. What is probability that more than 50% of the college students from the sample spent their spring breaks relaxing at home?

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 0.5. So

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

Z = \frac{0.5 - 0.43}{0.0385}

Z = 1.82

Z = 1.82 has a pvalue of 0.9656

1 - 0.9656 = 0.0344

3.44% probability that more than 50% of the college students from the sample spent their spring breaks relaxing at home

Answer:

a reflection across line y, then a translation (1,-5) (right 1, down 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

A(-2,4) → (2, 4) → D(3, -1)

B(-6, 1) → (6, 1) → E(7, -4)

C(-3, 1) → (3, 1) →  F(4, -4)

Answer:

alright so 1 and 2 are equal to each other because there congruent angles. When angkes are congruent to each other or in other words the opposite to each other there equal.
