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

T models the temperature (in degrees Celsius) in New York City when it's t hours after midnight on a given day. Match each state
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

Please check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to do a matching.

We shall be matching the given statements with the features we have on the graph

Hence we shall be looking closely at the graph to answer the questions.

The y-intercept is the point at which the graph touches the y-axis

And it was at -3 degrees celsius at the beginning of the day.

The temperature was above zero between 8am and 8pm. The matching statement is that it is increasing or decreasing interval

We can see that the graph rose from 8am before it finally comes to zero at 8pm

Positive or negative interval matches with it was getting warmer between 2am and 2pm.

While temperature was lowest at 2am, we can see a peak at 2pm.

Using Euler’s formula, how many edges does a polyhedron with 20 faces and 12 vertices have?
astra-53 [7]

Euler's formula for a polyhedron is given by:

\begin{gathered} F+V=E+2 \\ \text{where,} \\ F=\text{faces} \\ V=\text{vertices} \\ E=\text{edges} \end{gathered}

Make E, the subject of the formula:

\begin{gathered} F+V=E+2 \\ E=F+V-2 \end{gathered}

Put F = 20, V = 12, to obtain E,

\begin{gathered} E=20+12-2 \\ E=30 \end{gathered}

Therefore, there are 30 edges
