A poll shows that 41% of voters in a city favor of a $0.0.1 tax increase. If 25 voters are selected at random, what is that exac

Answer:

The probability is 0.026 to 3 d.p

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate this , we shall be using the Bernoulli approximation.

let P = percentage of voters supporting the increase = 41% = 41/100 = 0.41

q = percentage of voters not supporting = 100-41% = 59% = 59/100 = 0.59

Now we want to calculate that exactly 15 out of 25 will vote in favor

Mathematically that would be ;

25C15 p^15 q^10

= 25C15 0.41^15 0.59^10

= 0.025981307443 or simply 0.026 to 3 decimal places

Midpoint of the segment between the points (−5,13) and (6,4)
Leokris [45]

Answer: (0.5,8.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to use the following formula to find the Midpoint "M":

M=(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2})

Given the points (-5,13) and (6,4) can identify that:

x_1=-5\\x_2=6\\\\y_1=13\\y_2=4

The final step is to substitute values into the formula.

Therefore, the midpoint of the segment between the points (-5,13) and (6,4) is:

M=(\frac{-5+6}{2},\frac{13+4}{2})\\\\M=(\frac{1}{2},\frac{17}{2})\\\\M=(0.5,8.5)

An average light bulb manufactured by the Acme Corporation lasts 300 days with a standard deviation of 50 days. Assuming that bu
notsponge [240]

Answer:

1. 90% 2. 10% 3. 50%

Step-by-step explanation:

Standard Deviation (σ) = 50 days

Average/Mean (μ) = 300days

Probability that it would last more than 300 days = P(Bulb>300 days)

We will assume there are 365 days in a year.

P(Bulb>300 days)  implies that the bulb would

Using the normal equation;

z = standard/normal score = (x-μ)/σ where x is the value to be standardized

P(Bulb>300 days) implies x = 365 days

Therefore z = (365-300)/50 = 1.3

Using the normal graph for z=1.3, probability = 90%

2. P(Bulb<300 days) = 1 - P(Bulb>300 days)\

P(Bulb<300 days) = 1 - 0.9

P(Bulb<300 days)  = 10%

3. P(Bulb=300 days) implies z=0 since x=300

Using the normal graph for z=0, probability =50%
