Answer:

Event is not unusual(p>0.05).

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

p=0.10\\\\n=1100\\\\x=121

#The sample proportion is calculated as:

\hat p=\frac{x}{n}\\\\=\frac{121}{1100}\\\\=0.1100

#Mathematically, the z-value is the value decreased by the mean then divided  the standard deviation :

z=\frac{\hat p- p}{\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}}\\\\\\\\=\frac{0.11-0.10}{\sqrt{\frac{0.10(1-0.10)}{1100}}}\\\\\\=1.1055

#We use the normal probability table to determine the corresponding probability;

P(X\geq 121)=P(Z>1.1055)\\\\=0.1314

Hence, the probaility is more than 0.05, thus the event not unusual  and thus  this is not necessarily evidence that the proportion of Americans who are afraid to fly has increased.

Is 8/10 mile longer than 1/2
seropon [69]
Yes because if you find common denominators (in this case, "10") you would have to compare 8/10 to 5/10. 8>5 so 8/10 is longer than 1/2.
