According to Gallup’s annual poll on personal finances, while most U.S. workers reported living comfortably now, many expected a

downturn in their lifestyle when they stop working. Approximately 55% said they have enough money to live comfortably now and expected to do so in the future. If you select a sample of 200 U.S. workers, the probability is 90% that less than what sample percentage will say they expect to live comfortably? Answer with the percentage in decimal form to 4 decimal places.

Answer:

- The required percentage to 4 d.p. = 59.5126%

- The required percentage in decimal point to 4 d.p. = 0.5951

Step-by-step explanation:

Proportion that said they have enough money to live comfortably now and expected to do so in the future = 55% = 0.55

Sample size = n = 200

The Central Limit Theorem ensures that we can say that:

1) The sample proportion is equal to the population proportion.

p = μₓ = μ = 0.55

2) Standard Deviation of the sampling distribution = σₓ = √[p(1-p)/n] = √(0.55×0.45/200) = 0.0352

3) We can say that the sample distribution approximates a normal distribution especially when

np > 5 and nq > 5 (which is true for this sample size)

The probability is 90% that less than what sample percentage will say they expect to live comfortably

To find this sample percentage, let that that sample percentage be x' and its z-score be z'

z' = (x' - μ)/σₓ

But we are told that

P(z < z') = 90% = 0.90

Using the normal distribution table

z' = 1.282

1.282 = (x' - 0.55)/0.0352

x' = 0.55 + (0.0352×1.282) = 0.5951264

Hence, the required sample percentage = 59.5126% to 4 d.p.

In a triathlon , Jenny swam for 1 hour , biked for 1.75 hours , and ran for 1 hour. Her average biking speed was 2 times her ave
Naddika [18.5K]

Jenny average swimming speed was 2.5 km/h, her average biking speed was 24 km/h and her average running speed was 12 km/h.

<h3>Speed</h3>

Speed is the ratio of total distance travelled to total time taken. It is given by:

Speed = distance / time

Let a represent the average swimming speed, b the average biking speed and c the average running speed.

Her average biking speed was 2 times her average running speed, hence:

  • b = 2c  (1)

Her average running speed was 8 times her average swimming speed. Hence:

  • c = 8a   (2)

Total distance of the triathlon was 55.5 kilometers. Hence:

a * 1 hour + b * 1.75 hour + c * 1 hour = 55.5   (3)

From equation 1, 2 and 3:

a = 2.5, b = 24, c = 12

Jenny average swimming speed was 2.5 km/h, her average biking speed was 24 km/h and her average running speed was 12 km/h.

The population of a town grows at a rate proportional to the population present at time t. the initial population of 500 increas
vaieri [72.5K]
This is a case of exponential growth.  The appropriate equation, with the given data inserted, is     P(t) = 500 ( 1+0.15)^50

or                                   = 500 (1.15)^50

Evaluate this on your calculator.

Fish tank A
V = Ah = 25 ft^2 * 8 ft = 200 ft^3

Fish tank B
V = Ah = 40 ft^2 * 4 ft = 160 ft^3

The volume of fish tank A is 200 ft^3, and the volume of fish tank B is 160 ft^3, so fish tank A has a greater volume. Its volume is greater by 40 ft^3.
