A researcher is interested in determining if the more than two thirds of students would support making the Tuesday before Thanks

giving a holiday. The researcher asks 1,000 random selected students if they would support making the Tuesday before Thanksgiving a holiday. Seven hundred students said that they would support the extra holiday.
Define the parameter.

a. p = the population proportion of UF students who would support making the Tuesday before Thanksgiving break a holiday.

b. phat = the sample proportion of 700 UF students who would support making the Tuesday before Thanksgiving break a holiday.

c. phat = the population proportion of UF students who would support making the Tuesday before Thanksgiving break a holiday.

d. p = the population proportion of 700 UF students who would support making the Tuesday before Thanksgiving break a holiday.

Answer:

a. p = the population proportion of UF students who would support making the Tuesday before Thanksgiving break a holiday.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each student, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they are in favor of making the Tuesday before Thanksgiving a holiday, or they are against. This means that we can solve this problem using concepts of the binomial probability distribution.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinatios of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

So, the binomial probability distribution has two parameters, n and p.

In this problem, we have that n = 1000 and p = \frac{700}{1000} = 0.7. So the parameter is

a. p = the population proportion of UF students who would support making the Tuesday before Thanksgiving break a holiday.

Determine how long it will take an object to rotate through 20.0 revolutions at an angular velocity of 2.8 radians per second. U
Andreyy89
The conversion factor between radians and revolution as measures of angle is 2π rad is equal to 1 revolution. Converting the given angular velocity to rev/s,
                (2.8 rad) x (1 rev / 6.28 rad) = 70/157 revolution per second
Dividing the given angle, 20 rev by the velocity,
                                 (20 rev) / (70/157 rev/s) = 44 6/7 s
Thus, the answer is approximately 44.9 seconds.

The isotope cobalt-60 has a nuclear mass of 59.933820 u
Anit [1.1K]

To start this question, we should know what is the atomic number of cobalt. The atomic number (the number of protons) of Cobalt is Z =27.

Now, we know that a Cobalt 60 isotope means an isotope of Cobalt whose Atomic Mass is 60.

Thus, in a Cobalt 60 isotope, the number of neutrons in the nucleus are

60-Z=60-27=33

From the question we know that the given nuclear mass is 59.933820 u.

Now, the mass defect of Cobalt 60 can be easily calculated by adding the masses of the protons and the neutrons as per our calculations and subtracting the given nuclear mass from it.

Thus,

Mass Defect = (Number of Protons Mass of Proton given in the question) + (Number of Neutrons Mass of Neutron given in the question)-59.933820 u

\therefore 27\times 1.007825+33\times 1.008665-59.933820=0.5634 u

Thus, the required Mass Defect is 0.5634u.

In eV, the Mass Defect is 931.5MeV\times 0.5634=534.807 MeV
