Answer:

(a) The mean for the sample proportion is 0.70.

(b) The standard deviation for the sample proportion is 0.046.

(c) The probability that the sample proportion is greater than 0.75 is 0.1379.

(d) The two values between which the middle 95% of the sample proportions lie are 0.6080 and 0.7920.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let <em>X</em><em> </em>= number of students who feel parking is a problem.

The probability of students who feel parking is a problem is, P (X) = <em>p</em> = 0.70.

The sample of students selected for the poll is, <em>n</em> = 100.

The random variable <em>X</em> follows a Binomial distribution with parameters <em>n</em> = 100 and <em>p</em> = 0.70.

A Normal distribution can be used to approximate the Binomial distribution if <em>np</em> ≥ 10 and <em>n</em>(1 - <em>p</em>) ≥ 10.

Check the condition:

np=100\times0.70=70\\n(1-p)=100\times(1-0.70)=30

Thus, the distribution of sample proportion (\hat p) is Normal.

(a)

The mean of the sampling distribution of sample proportion is:

\mu_{\hat p}=\hat p=0.70

Thus, the mean for the sample proportion is 0.70.

(b)

The standard deviation of the sampling distribution of sample proportion is:

\sigma_{\hat p}=\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}=\sqrt{\frac{0.70(1-0.70)}{100} } =0.046

Thus, the standard deviation for the sample proportion is 0.046.

(c)

Compute the probability that the sample proportion is greater than 0.75 as follows:

P(\hat p>0.7)=P(\frac{\hat p-\mu_{\hat p}}{\sigma_{\hat p}}>\frac{0.75-0.70}{0.046}  )\\=P(Z>1.09)\\=1-P(Z

*Use the standard normal table for the probability.

Thus, the probability that the sample proportion is greater than 0.75 is 0.1379.

(d)

It is provided that:

P(p_{1}

As the sampling distribution of \hat p is Normal then according to the Empirical rule 95% of the data in a Normal distribution falls within 2 standard deviation of mean. That is,

P(\mu_{\hat p}-2\sigma_{\hat p}

Compute the value of <em>p</em>₁ and <em>p</em>₂ as follows:

p_{1}=\mu_{\hat p}-2\sigma_{\hat p}=0.70-(2\times0.046)=0.608

p_{2}=\mu_{\hat p}+2\sigma_{\hat p}=0.70+(2\times0.046)=0.792

Thus, the two values between which the middle 95% of the sample proportions lie are 0.6080 and 0.7920.

Answer:

∠ EFG = 83°, ∠ GCE = 97°

Step-by-step explanation:

Since FE and FG are tangents to the circle then

∠ FGC and ∠ FEC are right angles

The sum of the angles in quadrilateral CEFG = 360°

Sum the 4 angles and equate to 360

3x + 11 + 90 + 5x - 23 + 90 = 360, that is

8x + 168 = 360 ( subtract 168 from both sides )

8x = 192 ( divide both sides by 8 )

x = 24

Thus

∠ EFG = 3x + 11 = 3(24) + 11 = 72 + 11 = 83°

∠ GCE = 5x - 23 = 5(24) - 23 = 120 - 23 = 97°
