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

Please solve them I really need help
Ugo [173]

Answer:

Answers are below

Step-by-step explanation:

12) No because the scale factor is not the same between the two rectangles

13) Yes. TUV is congruent to XYZ. The scale factor is 3/4.

14) Yes. I used SAS to see whether or not the triangles were similar. PQR is congruent to UVW.

15) Yes. I used 14) Yes. I used SAS to see whether or not the triangles were similar. DGH is congruent to FEH.

Write the equation of each line using the given information.
Marat540 [252]

A. The equation of the line is y = -0.2 x + 1.9

B. The equation of the line is y = 4 x + 3

C. The equation of the line is y = -8

D. The equation of the line is y = 2 x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of the equation of a line is y = m x + b, where

m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept

  • The formula of the slope of a line which passes through points (x_{1},y_{1}) and (x_{2},y_{2}) is m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}
  • The slope of a horizontal line whose equation y = b is zero
  • The y-intercept means the line intersect the y-axis at point (0 , b)

A.

∵ The line passes through points (2 , 1.5) and (-5 , 36.5)

∴ x_{1} = 2 and x_{2} = -5

∴ y_{1} = 1.5 and y_{2} = 36.5

∵ m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

∴ m=\frac{-5-2}{36.5-1.5}=\frac{-7}{35}=\frac{-1}{5}

∴ m = -0.2

∵ y = m x + b

∵ m = -0.2

∴ y = -0.2 x + b

- To find b substitute x and y in the equation by the coordinates of

  one of the two given points

∵ x = 2 and y = 1.5

∴ 1.5 = -0.2(2) + b

∴ 1.5 = - 0.4 + b

- Add 0.4 to both sides

∴ 1.9 = b

∴ y = -0.2 x + 1.9

The equation of the line is  y = -0.2 x + 1.9

B.

∵ m = 4

∵ y = m x + b

∴ y = 4 x + b

∵ Point (3 , 15) lies on the line

- To find b substitute x and y in the equation by the coordinates

  of the given point

∵ x = 3 and y = 15

∴ 15 = 4(3) + b

∴ 15 = 12 + b

- Subtract 12 from both sides

∴ 3 = b

∴ y = 4 x + 3

The equation of the line is y = 4 x + 3

C.

∵ The line has the same slope of line y = 1

- The line whose equation y = 1 is a horizontal line

∵ The slope of the line y = 1 is zero because it is a horizontal line

∴ m = zero

∵ y = m x + b

∴ The equation of the line is y = (0)x + b

∴ y = b

∵ The line passes through point (3 , -8)

- In the horizontal line the y-coordinates of all point lie on the line

  are equal

∴ The line intersect the y-axis at point (0 , -8)

∴ b = -8

∴ y = -8

The equation of the line is y = -8

D.

∵ m = 2

∵ y-intercept is at point (0 , 4)

∴ b = 4

∵ y = m x + b

∴ y = 2 x + 4

The equation of the line is y = 2 x + 4

Solve for X when m&lt;2 = 8x <br><br> (I don’t really understand how to solve this. Please help??)
lozanna [386]

Answer:

x = 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

First u swap the sides of the equation

8x = 2

then you divide both sides by 8 which gets you 1/4 or 0.025
