Answer:

The chance of getting a sample  proportion of 70% or greater is 0.026.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a poll shows that 50% of students play sports .

A random sample of 20 students showed that  70% of them play sports.

Let \hat p = sample proportion of students who play sports

The z-score probability distribution for the 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 of students who play sports = 70%

           p = population proportion of students who play sports = 50%

           n = sample of students = 20

Now, the chance of getting a sample  proportion of 70% or greater is given by = P(\hat p \geq 70%)

   P(\hat p \geq 70%) = P( \frac{\hat p-p}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } } \geq \frac{0.70-0.50}{\sqrt{\frac{0.70(1-0.70)}{20} } } ) = P(Z \geq 1.95) = 1 - P(Z < 1.95)

                                                                 = 1 - 0.97441 = <u>0.026</u>

The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 1.95 in the z-table which has an area of 0.97441.

Hence, the chance of getting a sample  proportion of 70% or greater is 0.026.

The cylinder is 10 meters wide and the volume is 300 cubic meters what's the height of the cylinder?
daser333 [38]
Cylinder is 10 meters wide, so its diameter is 10 meters. You get radius of it by dividing 10 by 2, which equals 5.
As you count volume of cylinder from that equation
V=A*h= \pi  r^{2}*h 
You get an equation to count height:
h= \frac{V}{ \pi  r^{2} } 
h≈3.82 meters
