Answer:

The value is  P(| \^ p -  p| < 0.05 ) = 0.9822

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The population proportion is  p =  0.52

     The sample size is  n  =  563      

Generally the population mean of the sampling distribution is mathematically  represented as

           \mu_{x} =  p =  0.52

Generally the standard deviation of the sampling distribution is mathematically  evaluated as

       \sigma  =  \sqrt{\frac{ p(1- p)}{n} }

=>      \sigma  =  \sqrt{\frac{ 0.52 (1- 0.52 )}{563} }

=>      \sigma  =   0.02106

Generally the  probability that the proportion of persons with a college degree will differ from the population proportion by less than 5% is mathematically represented as

            P(| \^ p -  p| < 0.05 ) =  P( - (0.05 - 0.52 ) <  \^ p <  (0.05 + 0.52 ))

  Here  \^ p is the sample proportion  of persons with a college degree.

So

 P( - (0.05 - 0.52 ) <  \^ p <  (0.05 + 0.52 )) = P(\frac{[[0.05 -0.52]]- 0.52}{0.02106} < \frac{[\^p - p] - p}{\sigma }  < \frac{[[0.05 -0.52]] + 0.52}{0.02106} )

Here  

    \frac{[\^p - p] - p}{\sigma }  = Z (The\ standardized \  value \  of\  (\^ p - p))

=> P( - (0.05 - 0.52 ) <  \^ p <  (0.05 + 0.52 )) = P[\frac{-0.47 - 0.52}{0.02106 }  <  Z  < \frac{-0.47 + 0.52}{0.02106 }]

=> P( - (0.05 - 0.52 ) <  \^ p <  (0.05 + 0.52 )) = P[ -2.37 <  Z  < 2.37 ]

=>  P( - (0.05 - 0.52 ) <  \^ p <  (0.05 + 0.52 )) = P(Z <  2.37 ) - P(Z < -2.37 )

From the z-table  the probability of  (Z <  2.37 ) and  (Z < -2.37 ) is

  P(Z <  2.37 ) = 0.9911

and

  P(Z <  - 2.37 ) = 0.0089

So

=>P( - (0.05 - 0.52 ) <  \^ p <  (0.05 + 0.52 )) =0.9911-0.0089

=>P( - (0.05 - 0.52 ) <  \^ p <  (0.05 + 0.52 )) = 0.9822

=> P(| \^ p -  p| < 0.05 ) = 0.9822

Which point represents the opposite of 0 on the number line? A B C D E
sesenic [268]

Answer:

C: 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's use 1 for an example first. The opposite of 1 is -1. 2 = -2, 3 = -3, and so on. Since there is no such thing as -0, our answer would be C, 0. It is not -5, -2, 2, or 7 because those are not the negatives of 0.

Which statement describes the rate of change of the following function?
GarryVolchara [31]

The correct answer is B. The function has a constant rate of change, decreasing for all x at a rate of 6.

In order to find the rate of change, we have to identify the slope. The slope is always the coefficient of x when in slope intercept form. In this case it is -6, which means it decreases at a rate of 6.

In a certain residential suburb, 60% of all households get Internet service from the local cable company, 80% get television ser
Serggg [28]

Answer:

a) 0.900

b) 0.400

Step-by-step explanation:

Let I = households getting internet

T = households getting television

Then I = 60%

and T = 80%

I\cap T = 50\% (Households that get both services)

a) Households getting at least one service, I\cup T = I + T - I\cap T= 60+80-50 =90\%=0.900

b) Those getting internet only = I - I\cap T = 60 - 50 = 10\% = 0.1

Those getting television only = T - I\cap T = 80- 50=30\%=0.3

Probability of getting exactly one service = 0.1 + 0.3 = 0.400

I need clear steps to solve this. I am struggling with this part.
MissTica
In order to find the average of all the costs, first you need to add up all of the expenditures from each month. (ex. 1,084.45+886.40+968.45+1,117.60+995.80+1,379.86) After you find the solution from adding those numbers together, divide the solution by the amount of costs there are in order to find the average. Since it was for 6 months, get the total from the addition problem and divide it by 6 and that will be your answer.
