There is growing concern over a possible causal link between consumption of diet soda and obesity. In 2013, Gallup took a nation

ally representative sample of 2027 adults and asked them about their soda consumption. In the sample, 920 adults described themselves as overweight, and 300 of them said that they mostly drink diet soda. The remaining 1107 adults described themselves as about right weight, and 225 of them said that they mostly drink diet soda. We plan to test the following hypotheses: The pooled sample proportion of individuals who mostly drink diet soda is: a. 0.2491 b. 0.2033 c. 0.5000 d. 0.2590 e. 0.3261

Answer:

d. 0.2590

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem, we have that:

A sample of 2027 adults.

920 overweight, and of those, 300 said they drink mostly diet soda.

1107 right weight, of those 225 said that they mostly drink diet soda.

Of 2027 adults, 300+225 = 525 said that they mostly drink diet soda.

The pooled sample proportion of individuals who mostly drink diet soda is:

525 of 2027

525/2027 = 0.2590

So the correct answer is:

d. 0.2590

Answer:

1. 8

2. 11

3. 14

4. 17

Step-by-step explanation:

When there is a number next to a number inside parenthesis, it means you multiply those together. Don't forget to use PEMDAS either. So you first multiply 3(and whatever number is inside) and then add 5. Hope this helped :)

A variable is normally distributed with mean 6 and standard 2 deviation .
Tju [1.3M]

The normal distribution is also known as the Gaussian distribution. The percentage of all possible values of the variable that are less than 4 is 15.87%.

<h3>What is a normal distribution?</h3>

The normal distribution, also known as the Gaussian distribution, is a symmetric probability distribution about the mean, indicating that data near the mean occur more frequently than data distant from the mean. The normal distribution will show as a bell curve on a graph.

A.) The percentage of all possible values of the variable that lie between 5 and 9.

P(5<X<9) = P(X<9) - P(5<X)

               = P(z<1.5) - P(-0.5<z)

               = 0.9332 - 0.3085

               = 0.6247

               = 62.47%

B.) The percentage of all possible values of the variable that exceed 1.

P(X>1) = 1 - P(X<-2.5)

          = 1-0.0062

          = 0.9938

          = 99.38%

C.) The percentage of all possible values of the variable that are less than 4.

P(X<4) = P(X <4)

           = P(z<-1)
           = 0.1587

           = 15.87%

Norma bought 1 3/4 yards of cotton fabric and 3 3/8 yards of fleece fabric.
aalyn [17]
1 3/4 + 3 3/8 
get a common denominator by multiplying 1 3/4 by 2 to get a denominator of 8
1 3/4 becomes 1 6/8
1 6/8 + 3 3/8 = 5 1/8 yards
so the answer is 
C. 5 1 / 8 Yards

2. In 2010, the population of a town is 8500. The population decreases by 4.5% each year.
Korvikt [17]
This exponential growth/decay (in this case decay because r<1) of the form:

f=ir^t, f=final value, i=initial value, r=common ratio or "rate", t=time.

Since the population decreases by 4.5% each year the common ratio is:

r=(100-4.5)/100=0.955 so we can say

P(t)=8500(0.955^t)  

....

7000=8500(0.955^t)

14/17=(955/1000)^t  taking the natural log of both sides

ln(14/17)=t ln(955/1000)

t=ln(14/17)/ln(955/1000)

t≈4.22 years (to nearest hundredth of a year)

Since t is the years since 2010, the population will fall to 7000 in the year (2010+4.22=2014.22, more than four years will have elapsed) 2015.
