In a local university, 40% of the students live in dormitories. A random sample of n = 80 students is selected for a particular

study.
(a) What is the sampling distribution of P? Please provide its general shape, its standard deviation, and its mean.
(b) What is the probability that the sample proportion (the proportion living in the dormitories) is between 0.30 and 0.50?

Answer:

a) p is normally distributed with mean P = 0.4 and standard deviation

δ = 0.05477

b) P( 0.3 < p < 0.5) = 0.9312

Step-by-step explanation:

a) What is the sampling distributión of P?

   

    p(sample proportion) is normally distributed with mean P and standard  

    deviation δ = \sqrt{\frac{P(1-P)}{n} }

   

    how P = 0.40  population proportion of the students live in dormitories,        

    then p is normally distributed with mean P = 0.4 and standard deviation

     δ = \sqrt{\frac{0.4(1-0.4}{80} }

     δ = 0.05477

b) P( 0.3 < p < 0.5)

    Standardizing

    z = (p - P)/δ

    z_{1} = \frac{0.3-0.4}{0.05477}

                    = -1.82

    z_{2} = \frac{0.5-0.4}{0.05477}

                    = 1.82

     P(-1.82 < z < 1.82) = P(z < 1.82) - P(z<-1.82)

                                   =0.9656 - 0.0344

     P(-1.82 < z < 1.82) =  0.9312

What pair of fractions is 0.8 between on a number line
madam [21]
0.8  has one decimal.. so... let's make it a fraction first, by using one zero with a one as denominator.

\bf 0.\underline{8}\implies \cfrac{08}{1\underline{0}}\impliedby \textit{one decimal, one zero, no dot}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\cfrac{8}{10}\implies \cfrac{4}{5}&#10;\qquad \qquad \qquad &#10;......\cfrac{1}{5}..\cfrac{2}{5}..\cfrac{3}{5}..\boxed{\cfrac{4}{5}}..\cfrac{5}{5}..\cfrac{6}{5}..\cfrac{7}{5}......

is between any of those, among many other fractions as well.

4(k-2) when it says 2 less than it means you are subtracting from the constant and 4 times means you are multiplying the whole equation with 4.
