Well, 1/4 = 2x.
1/4 / x = 2

cause 2x is multiplication
and the other side shows divison for the right side of the and

In the United States, 35% of households own a 4K television. Suppose we take a random sample of 150 households. (a) Describe the
sattari [20]

Answer:

(a) The distribution of the sample proportion is Normal distribution.

(b) The probability that in this sample of 150 households that more than 50% own a 4K television is 0.00012.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that in the United States, 35% of households own a 4K television.

Suppose we take a random sample of 150 households.

<em>Let </em>\hat p<em> = sample proportion of households who own a 4K television.</em>

The z-score probability distribution for sample proportion is given by;

           Z = \frac{ \hat p-p}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }  ~ N(0,1)

where, \hat p = sample proportion

     p = population proportion of households own a 4K television = 35%

     n = sample of households = 150

(a) The distribution of the sample proportion is related to the Normal distribution.

(b) Probability that in this sample of 150 households more than 50% own a 4K television is given by = P( \hat p > 0.50)

    P( \hat p > 0.50) = P( \frac{ \hat p-p}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } } > \frac{ 0.50-0.35}{\sqrt{\frac{0.50(1-0.50)}{150} } } ) = P(Z > 3.67) = 1 - P(Z \leq 3.67)

                                                                   = 1 - 0.99988 = 0.00012

<em>Now, in the z table the P(Z </em>\leq<em> x) or P(Z < x) is given. So, the above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 3.67 in the z table which has an area of 0.99988.</em>

Therefore, probability that in this sample of 150 households more than 50% own a 4K television is 0.00012.

4 people are on the team. Members will be chosen randomly to serve as chairperson, treasurer, secretary, or timekeeper . Noor is
aliina [53]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that  four people are on the team. Members will be chosen randomly to serve as chairperson, treasurer, secretary, or timekeeper

Since one person cannot serve two posts we have total number of ways

= 4(3)(2)(1) = 24

If Noor is chair person and Qu treasurer then remaining 2 can take two posts in 2 different ways

So probability that Noor is selected to be chairperson and Qu is selected to be treasurer

=favourable outcomes/total outcomes

= \frac{2}{24} \\=0.083

Make an standard form equation based on this graph.
OLga [1]

Answer:

y = -1/4x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: The y-intercept is on the y-axis line. The y-intercept in this graph is -2.

Step 2: To find the slope. The line is going downwards so that helps us know that the slope is going to be negative. You want to get the bottom point to the top. So move upwards 1 time and move 4 times to the left.

Step 3: Now just put everything together.
