Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that 33.4% of people have sleepwalked.

Sample size n =1459

Sample favourable persons = 526

Sample proportion p = $\frac{526}{1459} \\=0.361$

Sample proportion p is normal for large samples with mean = 0.334 and

std error = $\sqrt{\frac{pq}{n} } \\=\sqrt{\frac{0.334(1-0.334)}{1459} } \\=0.0123$

a) P(526 or more of the 1459 adults have sleepwalked.)

$=P(p\geq 0.361)\\=P(Z\geq \frac{0.361-0.334}{0.0123} \\=P(Z\geq 2.20)\\=0.5-0.4861\\=0.0139$

b) Yes, because hardly 1.4% is the probability

c) 33.4 is very less compared to the average. Either sample should be improved representing the population or population mean should be increased accordingly.

A share of stock in the Lofty Cheese Company is quoted at 25 1/4. Suppose you hold 30 shares of that stock, which you bought at

Marizza181 [45]

I don't know the options, but I can say this:

if you bought it at 20 1/4 and you sell them at 25 1/4 then your win pro stock is the difference between those two numbers, which is 5. (25 1/4-20 1/4 =5)

and if you sell all of them, your profit will be 30*5=150 dollars.

Solve x^2 + 2x - 48 = 0

Georgia [21]

Answer:

x = - 8, x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

${x}^{2} + 2x - 48 = 0 \\ \\ {x}^{2} + 8x - 6x - 48 = 0 \\ \\ x(x + 8) - 6(x + 8) = 0 \\ \\ (x + 8)(x - 6) = 0 \\ \\ x + 8 = 0 \: \: or \: \: x - 6 = 0 \\ \\ x = - 8, \: \: \: \: x = 6 \\$
