Answer: a) 15, b) 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

A researcher studying public opinion of proposed social security changes obtains a simple random sample of 35 adult Americans and asks them whether or not they support the proposed changes. To say that the distribution of the sample proportion of adults who respond yes, is approximately normal, how many more Americans does the researcher need to sample in the following cases?

(a)    10% of all adult Americans support the changes

Here, np>5\ and\ n(1-p)>5

And , p=0.10

So, consider the equality, to find the value of 'n'.

np=5\\\\n\times 0.10=5\\\\n=\dfrac{5}{0.10}\\\\n=50

So, there are 50-35=15 more adult Americans needed.

(b)   15% of all adult Americans supports the changes

Here, p=0.15

So, again we get that

np=5\\\\n\times 0.15=5\\\\n=\dfrac{5}{0.15}\\\\n=33.33\\\\n\approx 34

So, there are 35-34=1 more adult Americans needed.

Hence, a) 15, b) 1.

Using the scale given 1cm = 8km. Hatboro and Smithville are 24cm apart on the map. What is their actual distance (km) between th
harina [27]

Answer:

They are 192 km apart.

Step-by-step explanation:

? = unknown value

We can use the equation

? km = ?cm * 8

Or ratio

1/8 (What do you multiply 1 by to get to 8? 8. 1 is how many cm there are so if there are 24 cm then we multiply that by 8 as well.)

We have to multiply 24cm by 8 because of the ratio 1:8, 24 times 8 is 192.
