Answer:
ρ = 35% or 0.35
ρ with ^ = or equivalently 46%
Step-by-step explanation:
ρ represents the population proportion of the bus riders, with a monthly pass, who are students.
The population proportion is simply the percentage of the entire population with a particular characteristic. We have been informed that in a city, 35% of the bus riders with a monthly pass are students. This means that 35% of the whole population of bus riders with a monthly pass are students. Therefore, our ρ is simply 35% or 0.35.
ρ with ^ represents the sample proportion of the bus riders, with a monthly pass, who are students. This is a statistic or an estimator as it is normally used to estimate the value of ρ, the population proportion. It is calculated using the formula;
ρ with ^ =
where n represents the size of the sample and x the number of individuals in the sample with a certain desired characteristic. We have been informed that;
in a random sample of 50 bus riders with monthly passes, 23 are students.
Using the above formula and the values given we have;
ρ with ^ = or equivalently 46%
I graphed this line below.
Start with an open dot on 7.
The reason we use an open dot is because x
does not equal 7, it is only greater than 7.
So from your open dot, draw an arrow to the right
to represent all numbers greater than 7.
Finally, state your answer in set notation if possible.
It is read as {x: x > 7}.
