Identify whether each variable is categorical or continuous.

This week, Ariel ended up needing 12 gallons of gas. That is 20% more than she needed last

Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

10 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

She used 12 gallons this week and used 20% more than last week. That means 12 gallons is 120% of last weeks gas. Since 12 times 10 equals 120, then to find 20% you do 20 divided 10 and subtract the answer from 12.

20% is 2 because 20 divided by 10 is 2. 12 minus 2 is 10

Hope this helps :)

Which object has the same y-intercept as a function y=2/3x-3?

Licemer1 [7]

The 4th option.

The values with no x or y attached are the y intercept

6x - 7y = 21

Subtract 6x from both sides

6x - 7y - 6x = 21 - 6x

-7y = 21 - 6x

Divide both sides by - 7

-7y/-7 = 21/-7 - 6x/-7

Y = -3 +6x/7

The why intercept, -3 is the same as the one in the question

It is estimated that 75% of all young adults between the ages of 18-35 do not have a landline in their homes and only use a cell

Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

a) 75

b) 4.33

c) 0.75

d) $3.2 \times 10^{-13}$ probability that no one in a simple random sample of 100 young adults owns a landline

e) $6.2 \times 10^{-61}$ probability that everyone in a simple random sample of 100 young adults owns a landline.

f) Binomial, with $n = 100, p = 0.75$

g) $4.5 \times 10^{-8}$ probability that exactly half the young adults in a simple random sample of 100 do not own a landline.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each young adult, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they do not own a landline, or they do. The probability of an young adult not having a landline is independent of any other adult, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

$E(X) = np$

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

$\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}$

75% of all young adults between the ages of 18-35 do not have a landline in their homes and only use a cell phone at home.

This means that $p = 0.75$

(a) On average, how many young adults do not own a landline in a random sample of 100?

Sample of 100, so $n = 100$

$E(X) = np = 100(0.75) = 75$

(b) What is the standard deviation of probability of young adults who do not own a landline in a simple random sample of 100?

$\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{100(0.75)(0.25)} = 4.33$

(c) What is the proportion of young adults who do not own a landline?

The estimation, of 75% = 0.75.

(d) What is the probability that no one in a simple random sample of 100 young adults owns a landline?

This is P(X = 100), that is, all do not own. So

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 100) = C_{100,100}.(0.75)^{100}.(0.25)^{0} = 3.2 \times 10^{-13}$

$3.2 \times 10^{-13}$ probability that no one in a simple random sample of 100 young adults owns a landline.

(e) What is the probability that everyone in a simple random sample of 100 young adults owns a landline?

This is P(X = 0), that is, all own. So

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 0) = C_{100,0}.(0.75)^{0}.(0.25)^{100} = 6.2 \times 10^{-61}$

$6.2 \times 10^{-61}$ probability that everyone in a simple random sample of 100 young adults owns a landline.

(f) What is the distribution of the number of young adults in a sample of 100 who do not own a landline?

Binomial, with $n = 100, p = 0.75$

(g) What is the probability that exactly half the young adults in a simple random sample of 100 do not own a landline?

This is P(X = 50). So

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 50) = C_{100,50}.(0.75)^{50}.(0.25)^{50} = 4.5 \times 10^{-8}$

$4.5 \times 10^{-8}$ probability that exactly half the young adults in a simple random sample of 100 do not own a landline.

Is 3/8bigger than 4/10

mojhsa [17]

The way to work this out is to find a common denominator. so in this case 80 is a common denominator. So it would be 3/8 into 30/80 and then 4/10 into 32/80 therefore 4/10 is bigger
