Answer:

(a) Probability that 140 or fewer workers find their jobs stressful is 0.02385

(b) Probability that more than 155 workers find their jobs stressful is 0.28774

(c) Probability that the number of workers who find their jobs stressful is between 145 and 158 inclusive is 0.75996.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that in a poll conducted by the General Social Survey, 80% of respondents said that their jobs were sometimes or always stressful.

Let p = % of respondents said that their jobs were sometimes or always stressful = 80%

The z score probability distribution for proportion is given by;

                      Z = \frac{\hat p -p}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }  ~ N(0,1)

where, \hat p = % of respondents said that their jobs were stressful in a sample of one hundred and ninety workers

(a) The probability that 140 or fewer workers find their jobs stressful is given by = P( \hat p \leq \frac{140}{190} )

     P( \hat p \leq \frac{140}{190} ) = P( \frac{\hat p -p}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } } \leq \frac{\frac{140}{190} -0.80}{\sqrt{\frac{\frac{140}{190}(1-\frac{140}{190})}{190} } } ) = P(Z \leq -1.98) = 1 - P(Z < 1.98)

                                                                  = 1 - 0.97615 = 0.02385

(b) The probability that more than 155 workers find their jobs stressful is given by = P( \hat p > \frac{155}{190} )

     P( \hat p > \frac{155}{190} ) = P( \frac{\hat p -p}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } } > \frac{\frac{155}{190} -0.80}{\sqrt{\frac{\frac{155}{190}(1-\frac{155}{190})}{190} } } ) = P(Z > 0.56) = 1 - P(Z \leq 0.56)

                                                                  = 1 - 0.71226 = 0.28774

(c) The probability that the number of workers who find their jobs stressful is between 145 and 158 inclusive is given by = P( \frac{145}{190}  \leq \hat p \leq \frac{158}{190} )

    P( \frac{145}{190}  \leq \hat p \leq \frac{158}{190} )  = P( \hat p \leq \frac{158}{190} ) - P( \hat p < \frac{145}{190} )

    P( \hat p \leq \frac{158}{190} ) = P( \frac{\hat p -p}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } } \leq \frac{\frac{158}{190} -0.80}{\sqrt{\frac{\frac{158}{190}(1-\frac{158}{190})}{190} } } ) = P(Z \leq 1.16) = 0.87698

    P( \hat p < \frac{145}{190} ) = P( \frac{\hat p -p}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } } < \frac{\frac{145}{190} -0.80}{\sqrt{\frac{\frac{145}{190}(1-\frac{145}{190})}{190} } } ) = P(Z < -1.19) = 1 - P(Z \leq 1.19)

                                                                  = 1 - 0.88298 = 0.11702                                                  

Therefore,  P( \frac{145}{190}  \leq \hat p \leq \frac{158}{190} ) = 0.87698 - 0.11702 = 0.75996

Answer:

a) P=0.019

b) P=0.263

c) P=0.794

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume that the poll gives the population's proportion of respondents said that their jobs were sometimes or always stressful (p=0.8).

Then, a sample of size n=190 is taken.

The sample mean is:

\mu=np=190*0.8=152

The sample standard deviation is:

\sigma=\sqrt{np(1-p)}=\sqrt{190*0.8*0.2}=\sqrt{30.4}=5.514

The probability that 140 or fewer workers find their jobs stressful is:

z=(X-\mu)/\sigma=(140.5-152)/5.514=-11.5/5.514=-2.08 \\\\P(X\leq140)=P(X

Note: a correction for continuity is applied.

The probability that more than 155 workers find their jobs stressful is

z=(X-\mu)/\sigma=(155.5-152)/5.514=3.5/5.514= 0.635 \\\\P(X>155)=P(X>155.5)=P(z>0.635)=0.263

The probability that the number of workers who find their jobs stressful is between 145 and 158 inclusive is:

z_1=(X_1-\mu)/\sigma=(158.5-152)/5.514=6.5/5.514= 1.179\\\\  z_2=(X_2-\mu)/\sigma=(144.5-152)/5.514=-7.5/5.514= -1.360 \\\\ P(145\leq X\leq 158)=P(144.5< X< 158.5)\\\\P(145\leq X\leq 158)=P(X

Bad White [126]
Hey, Imherkk!
You can check by using a calculator.
Another way is doing 17*6.
If you get 102(you do) then you're answer is right.
I hope this helps;)

HELP ASAP: Factor By Grouping: 12a^3 - 9a^2 + 4a - 3
MAVERICK [17]

We have been given an expression 12a^3 - 9a^2 + 4a - 3. We are asked to factor the given expression by grouping.

First of all, we will make two groups of our expression as:

(12a^3-9a^2)+( 4a - 3)

Now we will factor of greatest common factor from each group.

(3a^2\cdot 4a-3a^2\cdot 3)+( 4a - 3)

3a^2(4a-3)+1( 4a-3)

Now we will factor out common terms (4a-3) as:

(4a-3)( 3a^2+1)

Therefore, the factorized form of our given expression would be (4a-3)( 3a^2+1).

Use the formula C= πd, where C is circumference, π is pi, and d is diameter.

Input the numbers and we'll shorten π to 3.15

C=3.15(15)

C≈47.25
