According to a Yale program on climate change communication survey, 71% of Americans think global warming is happening.† (a) For
SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

a) 0.2741 = 27.41% probability that at least 13 believe global warming is occurring

b) 0.7611 = 76.11% probability that at least 110 believe global warming is occurring

Step-by-step explanation:

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)}

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

When we are approximating a binomial distribution to a normal one, we have that \mu = E(X), \sigma = \sqrt{V(X)}.

In this problem, we have that:

p = 0.71

(a) For a sample of 16 Americans, what is the probability that at least 13 believe global warming is occurring?

Here n = 16, we want P(X \geq 13). So

P(X \geq 13) = P(X = 13) + P(X = 14) + P(X = 15) + P(X = 16)

In which

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

P(X = 13) = C_{16,13}.(0.71)^{13}.(0.29)^{3} = 0.1591

P(X = 14) = C_{16,14}.(0.71)^{14}.(0.29)^{2} = 0.0835

P(X = 15) = C_{16,15}.(0.71)^{15}.(0.29)^{1} = 0.0273

P(X = 16) = C_{16,16}.(0.71)^{16}.(0.29)^{0} = 0.0042

P(X \geq 13) = P(X = 13) + P(X = 14) + P(X = 15) + P(X = 16) = 0.1591 + 0.0835 + 0.0273 + 0.0042 = 0.2741

0.2741 = 27.41% probability that at least 13 believe global warming is occurring

(b) For a sample of 160 Americans, what is the probability that at least 110 believe global warming is occurring?

Now n = 160. So

\mu = E(X) = np = 160*0.71 = 113.6

\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{160*0.71*0.29} = 5.74

Using continuity correction, this is P(X \geq 110 - 0.5) = P(X \geq 109.5), which is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 109.5. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{109.5 - 113.6}{5.74}

Z = -0.71

Z = -0.71 has a pvalue of 0.2389

1 - 0.2389 = 0.7611

0.7611 = 76.11% probability that at least 110 believe global warming is occurring

The formula for finding the perimeter of a rectangle is P = 2L + 2W. If a rectangle has a perimeter of 68 inches and the length
Artemon [7]

Answer:

Width = 10 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the perimeter of a rectangle of 68 inches, and a length that is 14 inches longer than its width.

We can establish the following values to help us solve for the width of a rectangle:

Perimeter (P) = 68 inches

Length (L) = 14 + W inches

Width (W) = unknown

<h3 /><h3><u>Solve for the Width (W)</u></h3>

P =  2(L + W)  ⇒ This is the same as P = 2L + 2W, except that 2 is factored out from the right-hand side.

Divide both sides by 2:

\displaystyle\mathsf{\frac{P}{2}\:=\:\frac{2(L\:+\:W)}{2}}

\displaystyle\mathsf{\frac{P}{2}\:=L\:+\:W}

Substitute the value of the Perimeter and the length (L) into the formula:

\displaystyle\mathsf{\frac{68}{2}\:=14\:+W\:+\:W}

Combine like terms on the right-hand side, and simplify the left-hand side of the equation:

\displaystyle\mathsf{34\:=14\:+2W}

Subtract 14 from both sides:

34 - 14 = 14 - 14 + 2W

20 = 2W

Divide both sides by 2 to solve for the width (W):

\displaystyle\mathsf{\frac{20}{2}\:=\:\frac{2W}{2}}

W = 10 inches

Therefore, the width of the rectangle is 10 inches.

<h3 /><h3><u>Double-check:</u></h3>

Verify whether the derived value for the width is correct:

P = 2L + 2W

68 = 2(14 + 10) + 2(10)

68 = 2(34) + 20

68 = 48 + 20

68 = 68 (True statement).  

Thus, the length of the rectangle is 34 inches, and the width is 10 inches.

Natali5045456 [20]
Well you would start at Y= 0(-x) -2. So (0, -2) then you would move to the left by 1 and move down by 1.
