Suppose you take a simple random sample of size n=175 from the population of Reese's Pieces, still assuming that 45% of this pop

ulation is orange (LaTeX: \piπ=.45).
What is the probability that a sample proportion of orange candies will be between .35 and .55?

Answer:

The  probability is  P(0.35

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The sample size is  n =  175

   The population proportion is  p =  0.45

   

Generally the mean of the sampling distribution is  \mu_{x} =  0.45

 Generally the standard deviation is mathematically represented as  

        \sigma_{x} =  \sqrt{\frac{p (1-p)}{n} }

=>      \sigma_{x} =  \sqrt{\frac{0.45 (1-0.45)}{175} }

=>      \sigma_{x} = 0.0376

Generally the probability of  that the sample proportion of orange candies will be between 0.35 and  0.55 is  

      P(0.35 <  X < 0.55) =  P( \frac{0.35 - 0.45}{0.0376} <  \frac{X -\mu_{x}}{\sigma_{x}}  <  \frac{0.55 - 0.45}{0.0376} )

=>   P(0.35

Generally \frac{X - \mu_{x}}{\sigma_{x}}  =  Z  (The \  standardized \  value \  of  X)

So

    P(0.35

=>  P(0.35

From the z-table  

    P(  Z< 2.6595 ) = 0.99609

and

    P(  Z< - 2.6595 ) = 0.0039128

So

   P(0.35

=> P(0.35

Mutleys journey began on a boat, 2 feet above sea level. He dove down to twelve feet below sea level and then returned to the su
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

Mutley would start at 2 feet above sea level or +2, he would then travel 12 feet below sea level (-12) to then return to the surface of the ocean (0).  The integers from least to greatest:  -12, 0, 2.  Visual:

-12(dive level) * * * * * * * * * * * 0(sea level) * 2(boat)

Step-by-step explanation:

Using positive and negative integers, we can determine Mutleys journey above, below and at the surface of the ocean.  The surface of the ocean represents his 'origin' or starting point, which is 0.  The boat is above the surface or +2.  When Mutley dives below the surface, he is at a negative level of the ocean.  Think of it in terms of a number line - negative numbers are to the left of 0 and positive numbers are to the right of 0.  The further we go to the left on the number line, the lower our number.  In this case, -12 would be furthest to the left, then 0, followed by 2.

Solve the system 3x+y=2 5x-y=8
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

x= 5/4 ; y= -7/4

Step-by-step explanation:

I will solve your system by substitution.

(You can also solve this system by elimination.)

3x+y=2;5x−y=8

Step: Solve3x+y=2for y:

3x+y+−3x=2+−3x(Add -3x to both sides)

y=−3x+2

Step: Substitute−3x+2foryin5x−y=8:

5x−y=8

5x−(−3x+2)=8

8x−2=8(Simplify both sides of the equation)

8x−2+2=8+2(Add 2 to both sides)

8x=10

8x

8

=

10

(Divide both sides by 8)

x=

Step: Substitute

forxiny=−3x+2:

y=−3x+2

y=−3(

What is 3 root of 27
daser333 [38]
It is 3.

You can check this by seeing 3^3 ie. 3x3x3, which comes out as 27.
You can check the cube root on a calculator.
