According to a study conducted by an​ organization, the proportion of Americans who were afraid to fly in 2006 was 0.10. A rando

m sample of 1 comma 100 Americans results in 121 indicating that they are afraid to fly. Explain why this is not necessarily evidence that the proportion of Americans who are afraid to fly has increased.

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.

1.What are the zeros of the polynomial function?
Lorico [155]
Let's to the first example:

f(x) = x^2 + 9x + 20

Ussing the formula of basckara

a = 1
b = 9
c = 20

Delta = b^2 - 4ac

Delta = 9^2 - 4.(1).(20)

Delta = 81 - 80

Delta = 1

x = [ -b +/- √(Delta) ]/2a

Replacing the data:

x = [ -9 +/- √1 ]/2

x' = (-9 -1)/2 <=> - 5

Or

x" = (-9+1)/2 <=> - 4
_______________

Already the second example:

f(x) = x^2 -4x -60

Ussing the formula of basckara again

a = 1
b = -4
c = -60

Delta = b^2 -4ac

Delta = (-4)^2 -4.(1).(-60)

Delta = 16 + 240

Delta = 256

Then, following:

x = [ -b +/- √(Delta)]/2a

Replacing the information

x = [ -(-4) +/- √256 ]/2

x = [ 4 +/- 16]/2

x' = (4-16)/2 <=> -6

Or

x" = (4+16)/2 <=> 10
______________

Now we are going to the 3 example

x^2 + 24 = 14x

Isolating 14x , but changing the sinal positive to negative

x^2 - 14x + 24 = 0

Now we can to apply the formula of basckara

a = 1
b = -14
c = 24

Delta = b^2 -4ac

Delta = (-14)^2 -4.(1).(24)

Delta = 196 - 96

Delta = 100

Then we stayed with:

x = [ -b +/- √Delta ]/2a

x = [ -(-14) +/- √100 ]/2

We wiil have two possibilities

x' = ( 14 -10)/2 <=> 2

Or

x" = (14 +10)/2 <=> 12
________________


To the last example will be the same thing.

f(x) = x^2 - x -72

a = 1
b = -1
c = -72

Delta = b^2 -4ac

Delta = (-1)^2 -4(1).(-72)

Delta = 1 + 288

Delta = 289

Then we are going to stay:

x = [ -b +/- √Delta]/2a

x = [ -(-1) +/- √289]/2

x = ( 1 +/- 17)/2

We will have two roots

That's :

x = (1 - 17)/2 <=> -8

Or

x = (1+17)/2 <=> 9


Well, this would be your answers.
