Consider the question of whether the home team wins more than half of its games in the National Basketball Association. Suppose

spayn [35]

Answer:

0.0037 = 0.37% probability that the home team would win 65% or more of its games in a simple random sample of 80 games

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions 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.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

For a proportion p in a sample of size n, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion will be approximately normal with mean $\mu = p$ and standard deviation $s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}$

The home team therefore wins 50% of its games

This means that $p = 0.5$

Determine the probability that the home team would win 65% or more of its games in a simple random sample of 80 games

Sample of 80 means that $n = 80$ and, by the Central Limit Theorem:

$\mu = p = 0.65$

$s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}} = \sqrt{\frac{0.5*0.5}{80}} = 0.0559$

This probability is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 0.65. So

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

$Z = \frac{0.65 - 0.5}{0.0559}$

$Z = 2.68$

$Z = 2.68$ has a pvalue of 0.9963

1 - 0.9963 = 0.0037

0.0037 = 0.37% probability that the home team would win 65% or more of its games in a simple random sample of 80 games

Given the quadratic function : f(x)=x^24x-12 Find the vertex. Can you show the steps?!?

vlada-n [284]

$\bf \textit{vertex of a vertical parabola, using coefficients}
\\\\
\begin{array}{llcccl}
\stackrel{f(x)}{y} = & 1x^2& +4x& -12\\
&\uparrow &\uparrow &\uparrow \\
&a&b&c
\end{array}
\qquad 
\left(-\cfrac{ b}{2 a}\quad ,\quad c-\cfrac{ b^2}{4 a}\right)
\\\\\\
\left(-\cfrac{4}{2(1)}~~,~~-12-\cfrac{4^2}{4(1)} \right)\implies (-2~~,~~-12-4)\implies (-2~~,~~-16)$

Can anybody please help me out with this question I would really appreciate it so much. Please and thank you .

PolarNik [594]

(7x+2)° = (9x–8)°

=>7x –9x = –8–2

=> –2x = –10

=> x = 10/2

=> x = 5

<ADB = (7x+2)°

= 7×5+2

= 37°

<BDC = (9x–8)°

= 9×5–8

= 45 –8

= 37°

<ADC = 37° + 37°

= 74°

I need help with this

vfiekz [6]

Answer:

Volume = 14.5 cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of cone = $\pi r^2\frac{h}{3}$

Where r = 2 and h = 3.46

Volume = $(3.14)(2)^2\frac{3.46}{3}$

Volume = (3.14)(4)(1.15)

Volume = 14.5 cm³
