Answer:

The probability that 44% or fewer of the pre-teens have a TV in their bedroom is 96.64%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are 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.

For a proportion p in a sample of size n, we have that \mu = p, \sigma = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}

In this problem:

\mu = 0.4, \sigma = \sqrt{\frac{0.4*0.6}{500}} = 0.0219

The probability that 44% or fewer of the pre-teens have a TV in their bedroom is

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 0.44. So

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

Z = \frac{0.44 - 0.4}{0.0219}

Z = 1.83

Z = 1.83 has a pvalue of 0.9664

The probability that 44% or fewer of the pre-teens have a TV in their bedroom is 96.64%.

30 treadmills to 36 elliptical machines the ratio in simplest form
Goshia [24]
30 treadmills : 36 ellipticals
this could be written in a few ways, but i am going to write it as a fraction. since treadmills come first, you put 30/36.

now that you have your fraction you have to find the GCF (greatest common factor) of the two numbers. the GCF is 6, so you have to divide 30 treadmills by 6, and 36 ellipticals by 6.
30/6=5
36/6=6

5/6 or 5:6 is the simplified ratio of treadmills to ellipticals

A bag with 12 marbles has 3 red marbles and 5 yellow marbles. A marble is chosen from the bag at random. What is the probability
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

3/12 = 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 12 marbles in the bag.  If the marble drawn at random is red, it is one of the 3 red marbles.

The probability is "3 out of 12" = 3/12 which simplifies to 1/4.
