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

Factorize that x^4+4y^4​
ipn [44]

Answer:

  • (x² + 2y² + 2xy)(x² + 2y² - 2xy)

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>Given binomial:</h3>

x⁴ + 4y⁴

In order to factorize it, follow the steps:

<h3>Complete the square:</h3>

  • x⁴ + 4y⁴ =
  • (x²)² + 2*(x²)*(2y²) + (2y²)² - 2*(x²)*(2y²) =
  • (x² + 2y²)² - (2xy)² =
  • (x² + 2y² + 2xy)(x² + 2y² - 2xy)

Used identities:

  • (a + b)² = a² + 2ab + b²
  • a² - b² = (a + b)(a - b)
