A city council is considering funding a proposal to create a new city park. The council members will fund the proposal if they c

onclude that more than 60 percent of the city residents support the proposal. A survey of 2,000 randomly selected city residents will be conducted to investigate the level of support for the proposal. Let X represent the number of city residents in the sample who support the proposal. Assume that X is a binomial random variable.
Determine the mean and the standard deviation of the random variable X, assuming that 60 percent of city henudng proosal to create a new city park.

Answer:

The mean of the the random variable <em>X</em> is 1200.

The standard deviation of the random variable <em>X</em> is 21.91.

Step-by-step explanation:

The random variable <em>X</em> is defined as the number of city residents in the sample who support the proposal.

The random variable <em>X</em> follows a Binomial distribution with parameters <em>n</em> = 2000 and <em>p</em> = 0.60.

But the sample selected is too large and the probability of success is close to 0.50.

So a Normal approximation to binomial can be applied to approximate the distribution of X if the following conditions are satisfied:

  1. np ≥ 10
  2. n(1 - p) ≥ 10

Check the conditions as follows:

np=2000\times 0.60=1200>10\\\\n(1-p)=2000\times (1-0.60)=800>10  

Thus, a Normal approximation to binomial can be applied.

So,  the random variable <em>X</em> can be approximate by the Normal distribution .

Compute the mean of <em>X</em> as follows:

\mu=np

  =2000\times 0.60\\=1200

The mean of the the random variable <em>X</em> is 1200.

Compute the standard deviation of <em>X</em> as follows:

\sigma=\sqrt{np(1-p)}

  =\sqrt{2000\times 0.60\times (1-0.60)}\\=\sqrt{480}\\=21.9089\\\approx 21.91

The standard deviation of the random variable <em>X</em> is 21.91.

Suppose that a disk drive has 5,000 cylinders, numbered 0 to 4,999. the drive is currently serving a request at cylinder 2,150,
Anni [7]

Answer:

13011, 7586, 7492 , 7424, 9917, and 9137.

Step-by-step explanation:

(1). FCFS is generally based on what is refer to as first come, first serve. That is to say the first one to come will be treated first so, we have that;

FCFS = 81 + 857 + 1084 + 504 + 2256 + 1074 + 1262 + 1167 + 3442 + 1284 = 13011.

(2). (SSTF) Is all about the shortest distance, for example in this question the shortest distance is =

Thus;

Total distance = (2150 - 2069) + (2296 - 2069) + ( 2296 - 2800) +( 3681 - 2800) + (4965 - 3681) + ( 4965 - 1618) + ( 1618-1523) + ( 1523-1212) + ( 1212-544) + ( 544 - 356).

=81 + 227 + 504 + 881 + 1284 + 3347 + 95 + 311 + 668 + 188 = 7586.

(3).SCAN deals with the processing of the nearest request

The distance =146 + 504 +881 + 1284 + 34(4999-4965) + 2930(4999-2069) + 451 + 95 + 311 + 668 +188 = 7492.

(4). LOOK is just like scan.

The distance = 146 + 504 + 881 + 1284 + 2896 + 451 + 95 + 311 + 668 + 188 = 7424.

(5). C-SCAN: this is the kind of scan from one end to the other.

The distance = 146 + 504 +881 +1284 + 34 (4999 - 4965) + 4999 (4999 -0 )+ 356 (356 -0 )+ 188 + 668 + 311 + 95 + 451 = 9917.

(6). C-LOOK : moves in the following order: 2150, 2296, 2800, 3681, 4965, here head moves back 356, 544, 1212, 1523, 1618, 2069.

Thus;

The distance = 146 + 504 + 881+ 1284 + 4609 (4965 - 356) + 188 + 668 + 311+ 95 + 451 = 9137.
