Answer:

The margin of error M.O.E = 2.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that;

The sample size = 1500

The sample proportion \hat p = 0.60

Confidencce interval = 0.95

The level of significance ∝ = 1 - C.I

= 1 - 0.95

= 0.05

The critical value:

Z_{\alpha/2} = Z_{0.05/2} \\ \\  Z_{0.025} = 1.96 (From the z tables)

The margin of error is calculated by using the formula:

M.O.E = Z_{\alpha/2} \times \sqrt{\dfrac{\hat p(1 -\hat p)}{n}}

M.O.E = 1.96 \times \sqrt{\dfrac{\hat 0.60(1 -0.60)}{1500}}

M.O.E = 1.96 \times \sqrt{\dfrac{0.24}{1500}}

M.O.E = 1.96 \times \sqrt{1.6 \times 10^{-4}}

M.O.E = 0.02479

M.O.E ≅ 0.025

The margin of error M.O.E = 2.5%

Or the past 100 years, the average high temperature on october 1 is 78° with a standard deviation of 5°. what is the probability
valina [46]

Answer:

The probability is 0.683

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate this, we shall be needing to calculate the z-scores of both temperatures

mathematically;

z-score = (x-mean)/SD

From the question mean = 78 and SD = 5

For 73

z-score = (73-78)/5 = -5/5 = -1

For 83

z-score = (83-78)/5 = 5/5 = 1

So the probability we want to calculate is within the following range of z-scores;

P(-1 <z <1 )

Mathematically, this is same as ;

P(z<1) - P(z<-1)

Using the normal distribution table;

P(-1<z<1) = 0.68269 which is approximately 0.683

The difference between two numbers is 7. The sum of twice the larger number and three times the smaller number is 19.
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

x= 8   y= 1

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you identify your variables:

x= larger number

y= smaller number

Second, you find your equations:

x - y = 7

2x + 3y = 19

Third, (I used the substitution method) you make "y" by itself for the 1st equation.

y = x - 7

2x + 3y = 19

Then, you plug in the 1st equation for "y" in the 2nd equation

2x + 3(x - 7) = 19

Then, you distribute and simplify.

2x + 3x - 21 = 19

5x - 21 = 19

5x = 40

x = 8

Finally, you plug in the variable you found ( x ) into one of the equations and solve,

8 - y = 7

- y = -1

y = 1
