n = {2, 5, 0} holds true for 2n - 3 < 9

Solution:

Replacement set is the set of values that may be substituted for the variable.

Plug in each value from the replacement set and evaluate both sides of the inequality

If the inequality is true for a certain value, that value belongs in the solution set.

Given equation is:

2n - 3 < 9

Substitute n = 2

2(2) - 3 < 9

4 - 3 < 9

1 < 9

1 is less than 9 is true

Thus n = 2 is a solution to equation

Substitute n = 5

2(5) - 3 < 9

10 - 3 < 9

7 < 9

7 is less than 9 is true

Thus n = 5 is a solution to equation

Substitute n = 0

2(0) - 3 < 9

0 - 3 < 9

-3 < 9

-3 is less than 9 is true

Thus n = -3 is a solution to equation

Carpenters refer to the slope of a roof as the pitch of the roof. Find the pitch of the roof.

KiRa [710]

Answer: Approximately 13 ft

Step-by-step explanation: For this, you have to do the Pythagorean Theorem. First set up an equation. That equation is a squared+b squared=c squared. Next, plug in values. A=12 and b=4. The equation becomes 12 squared+4 squared=c squared. Do the math and you'll get 144+16=c squared. Add and get 160=c squared. Then do the square root of both sides and you'll get 12.649=c. Round to nearest whole number to get approximately 13 ft. You can also represent it as the square root symbol with 160 inside, like this(√160).

Suppose 46% of politicians are lawyers. If a random sample of size 662 is selected, what is the probability that the proportion

Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

0.9606 = 96.06% probability that the proportion of politicians who are lawyers will differ from the total politicians proportion by less than 4%

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 z-score 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 p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

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