Answer:

B.) 0.2772

Step-by-step explanation:

By using binomial distribution for r=29,30,31,32.

296C29*(0.0963^29)(1-0.0963)^267+

296C30*(0.0963^30)(1-0.0963)^266+

296C31*(0.0963^31)(1-0.0963)^265+

296C32*(0.0963^32)(1-0.0963)^264

.

(1.2739*10^40)(3.3509*10^-30)(1.81335*10^-12)+

(1.13378*10^41)(6.475118*10^-43)+

(9.7285*10^41)(6.9*10^-44)+

(8.056449*10^42)(7.35278*10^-45)

=0.277174

Based on historical data, your manager believes that 26% of the company's orders come from first-time customers. A random sample
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

\hat p \sim N( p, \sqrt{\frac{p (1-p)}{n}})

And we can use the z score formula given by:

z = \frac{\hat p -\mu_p}{\sigma_p}

And if we find the parameters we got:

\mu_p = 0.26

\sigma_p = \sqrt{\frac{0.26(1-0.26)}{158}} = 0.0349

And we can find the z score for the value of 0.4 and we got:

z = \frac{0.4-0.26}{0.0349}= 4.0119

And we can find this probability:

P(z>4.0119) = 1-P(z

And if we use the normal standard table or excel we got:

P(z>4.0119) = 1-P(z

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the following info given:

p = 0.26 represent the proportion of the company's orders come from first-time customers

n=158 represent the sample size

And we want to find the following probability:

p(\hat p >0.4)

And we can use the normal approximation since we have the following two conditions:

1) np = 158*0.26 = 41.08>10

2) n(1-p) = 158*(1-0.26) = 116.92>10

And for this case the distribution for the sample proportion is given by:

\hat p \sim N( p, \sqrt{\frac{p (1-p)}{n}})

And we can use the z score formula given by:

z = \frac{\hat p -\mu_p}{\sigma_p}

And if we find the parameters we got:

\mu_p = 0.26

\sigma_p = \sqrt{\frac{0.26(1-0.26)}{158}} = 0.0349

And we can find the z score for the value of 0.4 and we got:

z = \frac{0.4-0.26}{0.0349}= 4.0119

And we can find this probability:

P(z>4.0119) = 1-P(z

And if we use the normal standard table or excel we got:

P(z>4.0119) = 1-P(z

There are 2.54 centimeters in 1 inch. How many centimeters are there in 1 foot? In 1 yard? Explain your reasoning.
Dmitry [639]

1 inch = 2.54 centimeters

1 foot = 12 inch

1 inch = 2.54 cm

12 inch = 12times 2.54 cm = 30.48 cm

Answer 1 foot = 12 inch = 12times 2.54 = 30.48 cm

* we know 1 yard = 3 foot

1 foot = 12 inch

1 inch = 2.54 cm

Answer : so 1 yard = 3 foot = 3* 12 inch = 36 * 2.54 cm =91.44 cm
