It is difficult to override a presidential veto?Why do you think is it difficult? Do you think thisgood thing? Why or why not?

Vanyuwa [196]

It is difficult to overthrow a presidential veto because each house has to have a two-thirds majority vote to overthrow The veto. it is difficult because 2/3 is more than 1/2 and it has to be in each house so it is very difficult. I think this is a good thing because if Congress wanted to pass a bill the president did not like then it is hard for them to pass it and the president is the leader so he should make the big decisions.

Oil is pumped continuously from a well at a rate proportional to the amount of oil left in the well. Initially there were millio

JulijaS [17]

Answer:

The amount of oil was decreasing at 69300 barrels, yearly

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Initial =1\ million$

$6\ years\ later = 500,000$

Required

At what rate did oil decrease when 600000 barrels remain

To do this, we make use of the following notations

t = Time

A = Amount left in the well

So:

$\frac{dA}{dt} = kA$

Where k represents the constant of proportionality

$\frac{dA}{dt} = kA$

Multiply both sides by dt/A

$\frac{dA}{dt} * \frac{dt}{A} = kA * \frac{dt}{A}$

$\frac{dA}{A} = k\ dt$

Integrate both sides

$\int\ {\frac{dA}{A} = \int\ {k\ dt}$

$ln\ A = kt + lnC$

Make A, the subject

$A = Ce^{kt}$

$t = 0\ when\ A =1\ million$ i.e. At initial

So, we have:

$A = Ce^{kt}$

$1000000 = Ce^{k*0}$

$1000000 = Ce^{0}$

$1000000 = C*1$

$1000000 = C$

$C =1000000$

Substitute $C =1000000$ in $A = Ce^{kt}$

$A = 1000000e^{kt}$

To solve for k;

$6\ years\ later = 500,000$

i.e.

$t = 6\ A = 500000$

So:

$500000= 1000000e^{k*6}$

Divide both sides by 1000000

$0.5= e^{k*6}$

Take natural logarithm (ln) of both sides

$ln(0.5) = ln(e^{k*6})$

$ln(0.5) = k*6$

Solve for k

$k = \frac{ln(0.5)}{6}$

$k = \frac{-0.693}{6}$

$k = -0.1155$

Recall that:

$\frac{dA}{dt} = kA$

Where

$\frac{dA}{dt}$ = Rate

So, when

$A = 600000$

The rate is:

$\frac{dA}{dt} = -0.1155 * 600000$

$\frac{dA}{dt} = -69300$

<em>Hence, the amount of oil was decreasing at 69300 barrels, yearly</em>

A company compiles data on a variety of issues in education. In 2004 the company reported that the national college freshman-to

nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

1) Randomization: We assume that we have a random sample of students

2) 10% condition, for this case we assume that the sample size is lower than 10% of the real population size

3) np = 500*0.66= 330 >10

n(1-p) = 500*(1-0.66) =170>10

So then we can use the normal approximation for the distribution of p, since the conditions are satisfied

The population proportion have the following distribution :

$p \sim N(p,\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}})$

And we have :

$\mu_p = 0.66$

$\sigma_{p}= \sqrt{\frac{0.66(1-0.66)}{500}}= 0.0212$

Using the 68-95-99.7% rule we expect 68% of the values between 0.639 (63.9%) and 0.681 (68.1%), 95% of the values between 0.618(61.8%) and 0.702(70.2%) and 99.7% of the values between 0.596(59.6%) and 0.724(72.4%).

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we know that we have a sample of n = 500 students and we have a percentage of expected return for their sophomore years given 66% and on fraction would be 0.66 and we are interested on the distribution for the population proportion p.

We want to know if we can apply the normal approximation, so we need to check 3 conditions:

1) Randomization: We assume that we have a random sample of students

2) 10% condition, for this case we assume that the sample size is lower than 10% of the real population size

3) np = 500*0.66= 330 >10

n(1-p) = 500*(1-0.66) =170>10

So then we can use the normal approximation for the distribution of p, since the conditions are satisfied

The population proportion have the following distribution :

$p \sim N(p,\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}})$

And we have :

$\mu_p = 0.66$

$\sigma_{p}= \sqrt{\frac{0.66(1-0.66)}{500}}= 0.0212$

And we can use the empirical rule to describe the distribution of percentages.

The empirical rule, also known as three-sigma rule or 68-95-99.7 rule, "is a statistical rule which states that for a normal distribution, almost all data falls within three standard deviations (denoted by σ) of the mean (denoted by µ)".

On this case in order to check if the random variable X follows a normal distribution we can use the empirical rule that states the following:

• The probability of obtain values within one deviation from the mean is 0.68

• The probability of obtain values within two deviation's from the mean is 0.95

• The probability of obtain values within three deviation's from the mean is 0.997

Using the 68-95-99.7% rule we expect 68% of the values between 0.639 (63.9%) and 0.681 (68.1%), 95% of the values between 0.618(61.8%) and 0.702(70.2%) and 99.7% of the values between 0.596(59.6%) and 0.724(72.4%).
