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.

One angle measure in an acute triangle is 38°. What could the measure of one of the other angles be?
devlian [24]
Sum of all the angles in a triangle = 180 degrees.
it's given is an acute angle so <90
degrees now one is 38 the sum of other two would be 142 now here 27 is not possible because then the third angle, would be 115 degrees.

hope this help

A sequence of numbers a1, a2, a3, . . . is defined as follows: a1 = 3, a2 = 5, and every term in the sequence after a2 is the pr
Hoochie [10]
Since n>2 n 
n can be 3 for example

so a3=t 

and from the sequence we know a3 = 15 
because it is the product of a1(3) and a2( 5)

so t = 15
