Suppose that a basketball player can score on a particular shot with probability .3. Use the central limit theorem to find the a

pproximate distribution of S, the number of successes out of 25 independent shots. Find the approximate probabilities that S is less than or equal to 5, 7, 9, and 11 and compare these to the exact probabilities.

Answer:

(a) The probability that the number of successes is at most 5 is 0.1379.

(b) The probability that the number of successes is at most 5 is 0.1379.

(c) The probability that the number of successes is at most 5 is 0.1379.

(d) The probability that the number of successes is at most 11 is 0.9357.

→ All the exact probabilities are more than the approximated probability.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let <em>S</em> = a basketball player scores a shot.

The probability that a basketball player scores a shot is, P (S) = <em>p</em> = 0.30.

The number of sample selected is, <em>n</em> = 25.

The random variable S\sim Bin(25,0.30)

According to the central limit theorem if the sample taken from an unknown population is large then the sampling distribution of the sample proportion (\hat p) follows a normal distribution.

The mean of the the sampling distribution of the sample proportion is: E(\hat p)=p=0.30

The standard deviation of the the sampling distribution of the sample proportion is:

SD(\hat p)=\sqrt{\frac{ p(1- p)}{n} }=\sqrt{\frac{ 0.30(1-0.30)}{25} }=0.092

(a)

Compute the probability that the number of successes is at most 5 as follows:

The probability of 5 successes is: p=\frac{5}{25} =0.20

P(\hat p\leq 0.20)=P(\frac{\hat p-E(\hat p)}{SD(\hat p)}\leq  \frac{0.20-0.30}{0.092} )\\=P(Z\leq -1.087)\\=1-P(Z

**Use the standard normal table for probability.

Thus, the probability that the number of successes is at most 5 is 0.1379.

The exact probability that the number of successes is at most 5 is:

P(S\leq 5)={25\choose 5}(0.30)^{5}91-0.30)^{25-5}=0.1935

The exact probability is more than the approximated probability.

(b)

Compute the probability that the number of successes is at most 7 as follows:

The probability of 5 successes is: p=\frac{7}{25} =0.28

P(\hat p\leq 0.28)=P(\frac{\hat p-E(\hat p)}{SD(\hat p)}\leq  \frac{0.28-0.30}{0.092} )\\=P(Z\leq -0.2174)\\=1-P(Z

**Use the standard normal table for probability.

Thus, the probability that the number of successes is at most 7 is 0.4129.

The exact probability that the number of successes is at most 7 is:

P(S\leq 57)={25\choose 7}(0.30)^{7}91-0.30)^{25-7}=0.5118

The exact probability is more than the approximated probability.

(c)

Compute the probability that the number of successes is at most 9 as follows:

The probability of 5 successes is: p=\frac{9}{25} =0.36

P(\hat p\leq 0.36)=P(\frac{\hat p-E(\hat p)}{SD(\hat p)}\leq  \frac{0.36-0.30}{0.092} )\\=P(Z\leq 0.6522)\\=0.7422

**Use the standard normal table for probability.

Thus, the probability that the number of successes is at most 9 is 0.7422.

The exact probability that the number of successes is at most 9 is:

P(S\leq 9)={25\choose 9}(0.30)^{9}91-0.30)^{25-9}=0.8106

The exact probability is more than the approximated probability.

(d)

Compute the probability that the number of successes is at most 11 as follows:

The probability of 5 successes is: p=\frac{11}{25} =0.44

P(\hat p\leq 0.44)=P(\frac{\hat p-E(\hat p)}{SD(\hat p)}\leq  \frac{0.44-0.30}{0.092} )\\=P(Z\leq 1.522)\\=0.9357

**Use the standard normal table for probability.

Thus, the probability that the number of successes is at most 11 is 0.9357.

The exact probability that the number of successes is at most 11 is:

P(S\leq 11)={25\choose 11}(0.30)^{11}91-0.30)^{25-11}=0.9558

The exact probability is more than the approximated probability.

Find the value of the following expression below 8(15-4)/4^2-5
Sonja [21]

Answer:

The correct answer is 1/2 or 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:


8(15-4)/4^2-5

8(11)/4^2-5

Now i'm going to multiply 8 by 11

88/4^2-5

Now solve 4^2

Which is 16.

Now we have 88/16-5

Divide 88 and 16 which is 5.5.

Now minus 5.5 - 5 which gets us our answer: 0.5

Given: PSTK is a trapezoid, m∠P=90° SK =13, PK = 12, ST=8 Find: The area of PSTK.
guajiro [1.7K]
<h3>Given</h3>

trapezoid PSTK with ∠P=90°, KS = 13, KP = 12, ST = 8

<h3>Find</h3>

the area of PSTK

<h3>Solution</h3>

It helps to draw a diagram.

∆ KPS is a right triangle with hypotenuse 13 and leg 12. Then the other leg (PS) is given by the Pythagorean theorem as

... KS² = PS² + KP²

... 13² = PS² + 12²

... PS = √(169 -144) = 5

This is the height of the trapezoid, which has bases 12 and 8. Then the area of the trapezoid is

... A = (1/2)(b1 +b2)h

... A = (1/2)(12 +8)·5

... A = 50

The area of trapezoid PSTK is 50 square units.

A study was done on​ girls' participation in informal​ science, technology,​ engineering, and mathematics​ (STEM) programs. The
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

Urban area = 58.27%

Suburban area = 34.83%

Rural area = 6.9%

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follows,

Total number of women = 290

Number of women in urban area = 169

Suburban area women = 101

Rural are women = 20

So, we can calculate the percentage of number of women from each area by using following formula,

Percentage = Women in specific area ÷ total women

So, percentage of Urban area = 169 ÷ 290 = 0.5827 or 58.27%

percentage of suburban area = 101 ÷ 290 = 0.3483 or 34.83%

percentage of rural area = 20 ÷ 290 = 0.0690 or 6.9%

Pie chart for the given information is attached below.
