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.

Can someone help it has to be a polynomial
Damm [24]

Answer: Width = 24 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let W represent the width of the rectangular sign.

The length of a rectangular sign is 6 inches more than half its width. It means that the length of the rectangular sign would be

W/2 + 6

The formula for determining the area of a rectangle is expressed as

Area = length × width

The area of the sign is 432 square inches. Therefore, the equation for the area of this sign would be

W(W/2 + 6) = 432

W²/2 + 6W = 432

Multiplying both sides of the equation by 2, it becomes

W² + 12W = 864

W² + 12W - 864 = 0

W² + 36W - 24W - 864 = 0

W(W + 36) - 24(W + 36) = 0

W - 24 = 0 or W + 36 = 0

W = 24 or W = - 36

Since W cannot be negative, then

W = 24

Deffense [45]

Answer:

13 cents, 17 cents, Brand A

Step-by-step explanation:

The unit price is the price of a single pencil. You can find that by dividing the total price by the number of pencils.

Brand A= $2.36/18= $0.13

Band B= $4.09/24= $0.17

0.13 < 0.17

Brand A is cheaper because the price per pencil is less.
