The University of Arkansas recently reported that 43% of college students aged 18-24 would spend their spring break relaxing at

home. A sample of 165 college students is selected.
a. Calculate the appropriate standard error calculation for the data.
b. What is probability that more than 50% of the college students from the sample spent their spring breaks relaxing at home?

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

Solve for the x-max or h :\
-b/(2a)=-8/(2*-2)=2=k
plug it in to equation to get k:/
y(2)=-2(2)^2+8(2)+3
-8+16+3=11=k
y=a(x-2)^2+11&#10;
solve for a by pluging (0,0)
then a= -11/4
y=-11/4(x-2)^2+11

Identify the slope by converting standard form into slope-intercept form.<br> 12x - 9y = -9
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

4/3

Step-by-step explanation:

12x-9y=-9

9y=12x-(-9)

9y=12x+9

y=12/9x+9/9

y=4/3x+1

y=mx+b where m=slope and b=y-intercept,

so the slope is 4/3

What is the period of the function F(x) = -4sec (1/2 x)
serg [7]

Answer:

A) 4π

Step-by-step explanation:

The period of a secant function, f(x)=a*sec(bx+c)+d, is defined as 2π/|b| where b is the distance of the period. Since we know b=1/2 given by the function, then the period is 2π/|1/2|=2π/(1/2)=2π(2/1)=4π.
