Nine percent of americans say they are well informed about politics in comparison to most people. You randomly sample 200 americ

Arada [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Using normal distribution

z = (x - mean) / standard deviation

Nine percent of americans say they are well informed about politics in comparison to most people.

That means probability of success is p =9/100 = 0.09,

then probability of failure is

q = 1-p =1 -0.09= 0.91

n = number of sample = 200

x=(8% of 200) = 0.08×200 =16

mean = np = 200×0.09= 18

Standard deviation = npq = 200×0.09×0.91= 16.38

We are looking for the probability that less than 8% of the people sampled will answer yes to the question

8% of 200 = 16

P (x greater than 16) =P(x lesser than/equal to 15)

z = 15-18 /16.38 = -3/16.38

= -0.18

Looking at the normal distribution table

P(x greater than 16) = 0.5714

What is the distance from point (– 1, 3) to the line 3x – 4y = 10?

natta225 [31]

Answer:

5 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance from a point (m, n ) to the line Ax + By + C = 0 is given by

d = $\frac{|Am+Bn+C|}{\sqrt{A^2+B^2} }$

For the point (- 1, 3 ) , with m = - 1 and n = 3

3x - 4y = 10 ( subtract 10 from both sides )

3x - 4y - 10 = 0

with A = 3 , B = - 4 , C = - 10

d = $\frac{|3(-1)+(-4)3-10|}{\sqrt{3^2+(-4)^2} }$

= $\frac{|-3-12-10|}{9+16}$

= $\frac{|-25|}{\sqrt{25} }$

= $\frac{25}{5}$

= 5

Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

34.5 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide the composite figure into different shapes and then find the areas of all the shapes and add them together to find the total area. We could divide this into 3 triangles and 1 rectangle.
