Assume that 24.5% of people have sleepwalked. Assume that in a random sample of 1478 adults, 369 have sleepwalked. a. Assuming t
solniwko [45]

Answer:

a) 0.3483 = 34.83% probability that 369 or more of the 1478 adults have sleepwalked.

b) 369 < 403.4, which means that 369 is less than 2.5 standard deviations above the mean, and thus, a result of 369 is not significantly high.

c) Since the sample result is not significant, it suggests that the rate of 24.5% is a good estimate for the percentage of people that have sleepwalked.

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the normal approximation to the binomial to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

Can be approximated to a normal distribution, using the expected value and the standard deviation.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

E(X) = np

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}

A result is considered significantly high if it is more than 2.5 standard deviations above the mean.

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

When we are approximating a binomial distribution to a normal one, we have that \mu = E(X), \sigma = \sqrt{V(X)}.

Assume that 24.5% of people have sleepwalked.

This means that p = 0.245

Sample of 1478 adults:

This means that n = 1478

Mean and standard deviation:

\mu = 1478*0.245 = 362.11

\sigma = \sqrt{1478*0.245*0.755} = 16.5346

a. Assuming that the rate of 24.5% is correct, find the probability that 369 or more of the 1478 adults have sleepwalked.

Using continuity correction, this is P(X \geq 369 - 0.5) = P(X \geq 368.5), which is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 368.5.

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{368.5 - 362.11}{16.5346}

Z = 0.39

Z = 0.39 has a p-value of 0.6517

1 - 0.6517 = 0.3483

0.3483 = 34.83% probability that 369 or more of the 1478 adults have sleepwalked.

b. Is that result of 369 or more significantly high?

362.11 + 2.5*16.5346 = 403.4

369 < 403.4, which means that 369 is less than 2.5 standard deviations above the mean, and thus, a result of 369 is not significantly high.

c. What does the result suggest about the rate of 24.5%?

Since the sample result is not significant, it suggests that the rate of 24.5% is a good estimate for the percentage of people that have sleepwalked.

Plz tell me how to do question 18
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

750kmph

Step-by-step explanation:

Average is sum of all parts divided by the number of parts.

Let Stot be average speed for total trip (800kmph).

Let S1 be speed for first quarter of trip (950kmph).

Let S2, S3, and S4 be the speeds of each of the remaining quarters respectively.

Let Sans be the average speed for the remaining three quarters of the trip (a.k.a. The Answer!).

Stot = (S1 + S2 + S3 + S4) / 4

800kmph = (950kmph + S2 + S3 + S4) / 4

3200kmph = 950kmph + S2 + S3 + S4

3200kmph - 950kmph = 2250kmph = S2 + S3 + S4

Divide both sides by 3.

2250kmph / 3 = (S2 + S3 + S4) / 3 = Sans

Sans = 750kmph

The sale tax on an item is %6. Express the total cost, C, in terms of the price of the item, P.
skelet666 [1.2K]
<h3>Answer: C = 1.06P</h3>

==========================================================

Explanation:

The sales tax is 6% of the price P

6% of P = 0.06P

Add on the original cost P to get P+0.06P = (1+0.06)P = 1.06P

The 1.06 indicates the final after tax cost is 106% of the original price.

You can think of it like 100% + 6% = 106% = 1.06

So that's how we end up with C = 1.06P

-----------

An example using actual numbers:

Let P = $100 be the initial cost before tax

6% of P = 0.06*P = 0.06*100 = 6 dollars is the tax

100+6 = 106 is the final cost

Note how C = 1.06P = 1.06*100 = 106
