A national survey showed that 44% of college students drink. A professor provided his own survey by choosing a random sample of

244 students and found that 96 of them drink. Is this an unusual result contradicting the national survey or it is in line with it? Answer the question by determining how far away the proportion is from 44% in terms of standard deviations.

Answer:

It is an unusual result contradicting the national survey.

Step-by-step explanation:

National survey showed 44% of college students who drink.

The professor's survey showed that 96/244 = 39% drink.

The professor's survey deviated from the national survey is 5% (44% - 39%) representing about 0.25% (5% squared) variance.

Standard deviation is the spread of a set of numbers from their mean.  In other words, it measures how far an observed value is from the mean. It can be calculated by getting the square root of the variance.

Write the equation for the graph shown below
ira [324]

Answer:

y=0.5x-1

Step-by-step explanation:

First you need to find the gradient of the line. Since x goes up by 0.5 every time y goes up by 1, the gradient is 0.5. Then you need to find the y intercept which is what x equals when y is equal to 0. When y equals zero x equals negative 1. If ylu use the equation y=mx+c where m=gradient and c=y intercept you get y=0.5x-1

1/4+2/3-1/2= how do I solve this
Ann [662]

Answer:

5/12

Step-by-step explanation:

First you add 1/4+2/3.

You need to change the denominator so that they are equal to each other

If you multiply the 1/4 by 3/3 you will get 3/12 which is equal to 1/4

Then you need to do the same to 2/3. This time you need to multiply it by 4/4 to get the same denominator which will be 2/3*4/4=8/12

Then you add 3/12+8/12=11/12. You don't need to add the denominator.

After this you will need to subtract 11/12 and 1/2. This time you need to only change the denominator for 1/2.

You multiply the denominator and numerator by 6/6 to 1/2 and you will get 6/12 then you are going to subtract 11/12-6/12 and you will get 5/12
