Suppose the true proportion of students at a college who study abroad is 0.25. I select a random sample of 40 students from the

college and record if they have studied abroad. What is the probability that the proportion of students in my sample who have studied abroad is less than 0.2

Answer:

\mu_{\hat p} = 0.25

\sigma_{\hat p}= \sqrt{\frac{0.25*(1-0.25)}{40}}= 0.0685

z = \frac{0.2-0.25}{0.0685}= -0.730

And we can use the normal standard distribution or excel to find this probability and we got:

P(\hat p

Step-by-step explanation:

We define the parameter as the proportion of students at a college who study abroad and this value is known p =0.25, we select a sample size of n =40 and we are interested in the probability associated to the sample proportion, but we know that the distirbution for the sample proportion is given by:

\hat p \sim N(p , \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}

And the paramters for this case are:

\mu_{\hat p} = 0.25

\sigma_{\hat p}= \sqrt{\frac{0.25*(1-0.25)}{40}}= 0.0685

We want to find the following probability:

P(\hat p< 0.2)

For this case since we know the distribution for the sample proportion we can use the z score formula given by:

z = \frac{\hat p -\mu_{\hat p}}{\sigma_{\hat p}}

Replacing the info given we got:

z = \frac{0.2-0.25}{0.0685}= -0.730

And we can use the normal standard distribution or excel to find this probability and we got:

P(\hat p

Is there a difference between the 80th percentile and the top 80%?
Aleksandr [31]
<span>Actually, yes there is. Being in the 80th percentile means that you are smart than 80% of the people (i.e. out of 100 people, you would be smarter than 80 of them). However being in the top 80% means that you are a part of the 80 smartest people out that same 100. </span>

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

There is no meaningful difference between the two mean monthly temperatures. Since the two MADs are 15 degrees and 13.7 degrees, there is no meaningful difference.
