Two coins, A and B, each have a side for heads and a side for tails. When coin A is tossed, the probability it will land tails-s

ide up is 0.5. When coin B is tossed, the probability it will land tails-side up is 0.8. Both coins will be tossed 20 times. Let A represent the proportion of times coin A lands tails-side up, and let PB represent the proportion of times coin B lands tails-side up. Is the number of fosses for each coin enough for the sampling distribution of the difference in sample proportions PA-PB to be approximately normal?
a. Yes, 20 tosses for each coin is enough.
b. No, 20 tosses for coin A is enough, but 20 tosses for coin B is not enough.
c. No, 20 tosses for coin A is not enough, but 20 tosses for coin B is enough.
d. No, 20 tosses is not enough for either coin.
e. There is not enough information given to determine it 20 tosses is enough.

Answer:

Is the number of tosses for each coin enough for the sampling distribution of the difference in sample proportions PA-PB to be approximately normal?

b. No, 20 tosses for coin A is enough, but 20 tosses for coin B is not enough.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

The probability of coin A landing tails-side up = 0.5

The proportion of times coin A lands tails-side up (PA) = 20 * 0.5 = 10

Therefore, the probability of coin A landing heads-side up = 0.5 (1 - 0.5)  

And the proportion of times that coin A lands heads-side up = 20 * 0.5 = 10.  

The proportion on either side is equally distributed.

This is why 20 tosses for coin A is enough, since the sample proportions PA is approximately normal, symmetric, and equally distributed.  There will be equal amounts of 10 tosses (0.5 *20) for either heads-side up or tails-side up.

For coin B, the probability of landing tails-side up = 0.8

The proportion of times coin B lands tails-side up (PB) = 20 * 0.8 = 16

Therefore, the probability of coin B landing heads-side up = 0.2 (1 - 0-.8)

The proportion on either side is not equally distributed, but skewed.

This is why 20 tosses for coin B is not enough, since the sample proportions PB is not approximately normal, symmetric, and equally distributed.  There will be 16 tosses landing tails-side up (0.8*20) and only 4 tosses landing heads-side up (0.2*20).

Place pi squared, 10, and square root of 70 in least to greatest
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

squaare root of 70<pi squared<10

Step-by-step explanation:

Talking about square root of 70, you can take the answer by approximation. u know square of eight is sixty four and square of nine is eighty one. so 70's square root shluld be between eight and nine. And as the value of pi is 3.14... when square of pi is considerd it should be >9 but <10 as pi>3. So 10 become te greatest

Describe how to subtract two numbers written in scientific notation with the same power of 10
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

All you need to do is subtract the coefficient.

Step-by-step explanation:

For example a minus b is c. So this is simply going to be c times d to the e you can do that if these two are the same.

Calculate two iterations of Newton's Method for the function using the given initial guess. (Round your answers to four decimal
pickupchik [31]

Answer:

The first and second iteration of Newton's Method are 3 and \frac{11}{6}.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Newton's Method is a multi-step numerical method for continuous diffentiable function of the form f(x) = 0 based on the following formula:

x_{i+1} = x_{i} -\frac{f(x_{i})}{f'(x_{i})}

Where:

x_{i} - i-th Approximation, dimensionless.

x_{i+1} - (i+1)-th Approximation, dimensionless.

f(x_{i}) - Function evaluated at i-th Approximation, dimensionless.

f'(x_{i}) - First derivative evaluated at (i+1)-th Approximation, dimensionless.

Let be f(x) = x^{2}-8 and f'(x) = 2\cdot x, the resultant expression is:

x_{i+1} = x_{i} -\frac{x_{i}^{2}-8}{2\cdot x_{i}}

First iteration: (x_{1} = 2)

x_{2} = 2-\frac{2^{2}-8}{2\cdot (2)}

x_{2} = 2 + \frac{4}{4}

x_{2} = 3

Second iteration: (x_{2} = 3)

x_{3} = 3-\frac{3^{2}-8}{2\cdot (3)}

x_{3} = 2 - \frac{1}{6}

x_{3} = \frac{11}{6}
