Answer:

a. If a sample of size 200 is taken, the probability that the proportion of successes in the sample will be between 0.47 and 0.51 is 41.26%.

b. If a sample of size 100 is taken, the probability that the proportion of successes in the sample will be between 0.47 and 0.51 is 30.5%.

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem should be solved with a binomial distribution sample, but as the size of the sample is large, it can be approximated to a normal distribution.

The parameters for the normal distribution will be

\mu=p=0.5\\\\\sigma=\sqrt{p(1-p)/n} =\sqrt{0.5*0.5/200}= 0.0353

We can calculate the z values for x1=0.47 and x2=0.51:

z_1=\frac{x_1-\mu}{\sigma}=\frac{0.47-0.5}{0.0353}=-0.85\\\\z_2=\frac{x_2-\mu}{\sigma}=\frac{0.51-0.5}{0.0353}=0.28

We can now calculate the probabilities:

P(0.47

If a sample of size 200 is taken, the probability that the proportion of successes in the sample will be between 0.47 and 0.51 is 41.26%.

b) If the sample size change, the standard deviation of the normal distribution changes:

\mu=p=0.5\\\\\sigma=\sqrt{p(1-p)/n} =\sqrt{0.5*0.5/100}= 0.05

We can calculate the z values for x1=0.47 and x2=0.51:

z_1=\frac{x_1-\mu}{\sigma}=\frac{0.47-0.5}{0.05}=-0.6\\\\z_2=\frac{x_2-\mu}{\sigma}=\frac{0.51-0.5}{0.05}=0.2

We can now calculate the probabilities:

P(0.47

If a sample of size 100 is taken, the probability that the proportion of successes in the sample will be between 0.47 and 0.51 is 30.5%.

Solve for z.<br> az + 17 = -4z – b.
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

z = -b - 17 / ( a + 4 )

Step-by-step explanation:

az + 17 = -4z – b

collect like terms

az + 4z = -b -17

z( a + 4 ) = - b - 17

Divide both sides by ( a  + 4 )

z = -b - 17 / ( a + 4 )

What is the slope passing through the points (11,-5) and (1,20)
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

-2.5 or -5/2

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope we need to find the change in y and divide it by the change in x:

m = change in y ÷ change in x

m = (-5 - 20) ÷ (11 - 1)

m = 25 ÷ -10

m = -2.5 or -5/2

Hope this helps!

Write an equation for a line parallel to y=-3x-5 and passing through the point (4,-16)
const2013 [10]

Answer:

Insert the numbers into the equation y=3x-5.

the rule states that in every equation the first number is x.so it will be -6=3(4)-5

-6=12-5

-6=7.
