Hey there!

When we put a number in scientific notation, we want the first number to be at least 1 and less than 10. There must be a digit from 1-9 in the ones place.

With the number 0.000015, we can move the decimal place 5 places to the right and we have 1.5, which is more than one and less than ten.

Because we moved the decimal place 5 places to the right, 1.5 is multiplied by 10 to the power of -5.

The 5 is the number of places the decimal is moved, and the negative sign is because we moved it to the right.

10^(-5) is the same as 0.00001, just for context.

So, 0.000015 meters in scientific notation is 1.5 x 10^(5) meters.

Hope this helps!

Michael is running for president. The proportion of voters who favor Michael is 0.8. A random sample of 100 voters is taken.
Anton [14]

Answer:

Michael is running for president. The proportion of voters who favor him is 0.3. A simple random sample of 100 voters is taken.

a)

What is the expected value :: n*p = 100*0.8 = 80

standard deviation:: sqrt(n*p*q) = sqrt(80*0.2) = 16

where q is proportion of voters who do not favor Michael. (q=0.2)

and shape of the sampling distribution is binomial distribution  which is  approximately a  bell shaped.

-------------------------

what is the probability that the number of voters in the sample who will not favor Michael will be more than 16

P(X < 16.0) = P((x - 20) / 4.0) < (16.0 - 20) / 4.0) = P(Z < -1.00) = .1587        

P(X > 16.0) = 1 - 0.1587 = 0.8413
