How did British scientists test Einstein theory of relativity
Stolb23 [73]

Answer: Arthur Stanley Eddington's 1919 expedition confirmed Einstein's prediction for the deflection of light by the Sun during the total solar eclipse of 29 May 1919 which helped to cement the status of general relativity as a true theory. Since then many observations have confirmed the correctness of general relativity.

Hope this helps. Also gimme brainliest.

Suppose that we wish to assess whether more than 60 percent of all U.S. households in a particular income class bought life insu
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

A. 0.0049

B. Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Sample proportion = 0.64

N = 1000

Population proportion = 0.60

We solve for standard deviation

= √p(1-p)/n

= √0.60(1-0.60)/1000

= √0.60x0.40/1000

= √0.00024

= 0.0155

A.

The probability of sample >=0.64

Z>=0.64-0.60/0.0155

Z >= 0.04/0.0155

So z >= 2.5806

Using excel this equal to 0.0049

0.0049 is probability of sample proportion being 0.64 at least.

B.

This answer in a shows that than 60% of households in the united states income class purchased life insurance last year.
