Answer:

(a) The probability that proportion of heads is between 0.30 and 0.70 is 1.

(b) The probability that proportion of heads is between 0.40 and 0.65 is 0.9759.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let <em>X</em> = number of heads.

The probability that a head occurs in a toss of a coin is, <em>p</em> = 0.50.

The coin was tossed <em>n</em> = 100 times.

A random toss's result is independent of the other tosses.

The random variable <em>X</em> follows a Binomial distribution with parameters n = 100 and <em>p</em> = 0.50.

But the sample selected is too large and the probability of success is 0.50.

So a Normal approximation to binomial can be applied to approximate the distribution of \hat p<em> </em>(sample proportion of <em>X</em>) if the following conditions are satisfied:

  1. np ≥ 10
  2. n(1 - p) ≥ 10

Check the conditions as follows:

 np=100\times 0.50=50>10\\n(1-p)=100\times (1-0.50)=50>10

Thus, a Normal approximation to binomial can be applied.

So,  \hat p\sim N(p,\ \frac{p(1-p)}{n})

\mu_{p}=p=0.50\\\sigma_{p}=\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}=0.05

(a)

Compute the probability that proportion of heads is between 0.30 and 0.70 as follows:

P(0.30

                              =P(-4

Thus, the probability that proportion of heads is between 0.30 and 0.70 is 1.

(b)

Compute the probability that proportion of heads is between 0.40 and 0.65 as follows:

P(0.40

                              =P(-2

Thus, the probability that proportion of heads is between 0.40 and 0.65 is 0.9759.

3/4 (x - 3) - 5 = 1/8 ( x - 1 )
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

x = - \frac{57}{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{3}{4} (x - 3) - 5 = \frac{1}{8} (x - 1)

Multiply through by 8 to clear the fractions

6(x - 3) - 40 = x - 1 ← distribute parenthesis and simplify left side

6x - 18 - 40 = x - 1

6x - 58 = x - 1 ( subtract x from both sides )

5x - 58 = - 1 ( add 58 to both sides )

5x = - 57 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x = - \frac{57}{5}
