In a random sample of 45 newborn babies, what is the probability that 40% or fewer of the sample are boys. (Use 3 decimal places

). Hint: you are asked to find P( < .40 ). To calculate this first find the z-score and then calculate the probability.

Answer:

z= \frac{p- \mu_p}{\sigma_p}

And the z score for 0.4 is

z = \frac{0.4-0.4}{\sigma_p} = 0

And then the probability desired would be:

P(p

Step-by-step explanation:

The normal approximation for this case is satisfied since the value for p is near to 0.5 and the sample size is large enough, and we have:

np = 45*0.4= 18 >10

n(1-p) = 45*0.6= 27 >10

For this case we can assume that the population proportion have the following distribution  

p \sim N(p,\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}})

Where:

\mu_{p}= \hat p = 0.4

\sigma_p = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}(n} =\sqrt{\frac{0.4(1-0.4)}(45}= 0.0703

And we want to find this probability:

P(p

And we can use the z score formula given by:

z= \frac{p- \mu_p}{\sigma_p}

And the z score for 0.4 is

z = \frac{0.4-0.4}{\sigma_p} = 0

And then the probability desired would be:

P(p

Answer:

The probability that 40% or fewer of the sample are boys P(x ≤ 0.4) = 0.090

Step-by-step explanation:

Normally, the mean number of boys in the population should be given, but in the absence, we take 50% of the population to be boys (since, there are only two possibilities, with close probabilities).

Mean = 0.5

Standard deviation of a sample = √[p(1-p)/n]

p = 0.5

1-p = 0.5

n = sample size = 45

Standard deviation = √[(0.5×0.5)/45] = 0.0745

So, we can now standardize 0.4.

The standardized score is the value minus the mean then divided by the standard deviation.

z = (x - μ)/σ = (0.4 - 0.5)/0.0745 = - 1.34

To determine the probability that 40% or fewer of the sample are boys P(x ≤ 0.4) = P(z ≤ -1.34)

We'll use data from the normal probability table for these probabilities

P(x ≤ 0.4) = P(z ≤ -1.34) = 0.090

What is 6pi to the 6 power.
Tomtit [17]

Hey there!

6(3.14)^6

= 6(3.14^6)

= 6(3.14 * 3.14 * 3.14 * 3.14 * 3.14 * 3.14)

= 6(9.8596 * 9.8596 * 9.8596)

= 6(97.21171216 * 9.8596)

= 6(5,750.811583)

≈ 5750.81158328



Therefore, the answer should be:

5,750.81158328



Good luck on your assignment & enjoy your day!

Suppose y varies directly with x. If y = –4 when x = 8, what is the equation of direct variation? Complete the steps to write th
rosijanka [135]
Direct variation is of the form y=kx.  We are given the point (8, -4) so we can solve for k, the constant of variation...

-4=8k, divide both sides by 8

-4/8=k

k=-0.5, so our equation is:

y=-0.5x,
