Insurance company records indicate that​ 14% of its policyholders file claims involving theft or robbery of personal property fr

om their homes. Suppose a random sample of 500 policyholders is selected. What is the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of the sample proportion of policyholders filing claims involving theft or robbery from their​ homes?

Answer: std dev = 0.01552

Step-by-step explanation:

we will solve this by taking a step by step analysis of the problem.

i hope at the end of this section, you will feel confident  to try out other questions.

given that the size of the sample (n) = 500

The Insurance company records indicate that 14% of its policyholders file claims involving theft or robbery of personal property from their homes.

hence sample proportion of policyholders filing claims involving theft or robbery from their homes (p) = 14% =0.14

let Z be the number of policyholders files involving theft or robbery of personal property from their homes.

so Z~Bin(500,0.14) and p=Z/500

we know from basic mathematics that standard deviation = √(variance)

so variance is  given thus;

V[Z] = 500*0.14*(1-0.14)

or V[p] = V[Z/500] = 500*0.14*0.86/500² = 0.14*0.86/500

so standard deviation is;

sqrt[V[p]]=sqrt(0.14*0.86/500) = sqrt(0.0002408) = 0.01552

∴ the standard deviation = 0.01552

cheers i hope this helps!!!!

Answer:

Standard deviation = 7.76

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for determining standard deviation when dealing with population proportion is expressed as

Standard deviation = √npq

Where

n represents the number of samples from the population.

p represents the probability of success.

q represents the probability of failure.

From the information given,

n = 500 policyholders

p = 14% = 14/100 = 0.14

q = 1 - 0.14 = 0.86

Standard deviation = √500 × 0.14 × 0.86 = 7.76

kiruha [24]

Answer:

f = 0

x > 2y

x ≤ 8

S ≥ 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'f' represent the number of free throws.

Let 'x' represent the number of 2 - point baskets.

Let 'y' represent the number of 3 - point baskets.

Let S represent the Season high.

1) Ryan says he did not shoot any free throws.

⇒ f = 0

2) 2 - point baskets more than twice the number of 3 - point baskets.

⇒ x > 2y

3) Number of two points is less than or equal to 8.

⇒ x ≤ 8.

4) Last Season high, he had scored 18 points. Note that the problem says, Ryan equaled or bettered than last season high. That means he should got at least 18 points this season. So, the equation would be:

S ≥ 18
