Darrin put the numbers 7.25, 7.52, and 5.72 and 5.27 in order from greatest to least.Is his work correct?Explain

aksik [14]

If the order of the numbers in the question are the order Darrin put theem in then no, his work is not correct. this is because 7.25 is not greater than 7.52. the real order should be 7.52,7.25, 5.72, 5.27

H1 (t) = 196 - 16 t-squared. / / / H2 (t) = 271-16t-squared. / / / In each function, 't' is the number of seconds after that ball is dropped. / / / Each function is only true until the first time that H=0, that is, until the first bounce. Each function becomes very complicated after that, and we would need more information in order to write it.

Explain how to find 27% of 16 using multiplication by

just olya [345]

Answer:

4.32

Step-by-step explanation:

You can multiply 16 by 0.27 to get the answer.

16*0.27=4.32

You can check your work with estimation because 27% is about 1/4 of the number, and just by looking at the number, 4 is 1/4 of the number.

Suppose that you take a sample of 250 adults. If the population proportion of adults who watch news videos is 0.58, what is the

aliina [53]

Answer:

0.36% probability that fewer than half in your sample will watch news videos

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, i am going to use the binomial approximation to the normal.

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:

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

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples 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 $\mu = E(X)$ , $\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)}$ .

In this problem, we have that:

$n = 250, p = 0.58$

So

$\mu = E(X) = 250*0.58 = 145$

$\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{250*0.58*0.42} = 7.80$

If the population proportion of adults who watch news videos is 0.58, what is the probability that fewer than half in your sample will watch news videos

Half: 0.5*250 = 125

Less than half is 124 or less

So this is the pvalue of Z when X = 124

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

$Z = \frac{124 - 145}{7.8}$

$Z = -2.69$

$Z = -2.69$ has a pvalue of 0.0036

0.36% probability that fewer than half in your sample will watch news videos
