For a certain population of men, 8 percent carry a certain genetic trait. For a certain population of women, 0.5 percent carry t

he same genetic trait. Let p^1 represent the sample proportion of randomly selected men from the population who carry the trait, and let p^2, represent the sample proportion of women from the population who carry the trait.
1. For which of the following sample sizes will the sampling distribution of p^1 - p^2 be approximately normal?
(A) 30 men and 30 women
(B) 125 men and 20 women
(C) 150 men and 100 women
(D) 200 men and 2,000 women
(E) 1,000 men and 1,000 women

Answer:

(D) 200 men and 2,000 women

Step-by-step explanation:

To have an approximately normal distribution for the difference between proportions, we have to have sample sizes that are big enough to satisfy this conditions:

np>10\\\\n(1-p)>10

For men, we have p=0.08, so we have:

n*0.08>10\Rightarrow n>125\\\\n(1-0.08)=n*0.92>10 \Rightarrow n>11

The sample size for men has to be at least 125 individuals.

For women, we have p=0.005:

n*0.005>10\Rightarrow n>2000\\\\n(1-0.005)=n*0.995>10 \Rightarrow n>11

The sample size for women has to be at least 2000 individuals.

The option that satisfy the requirements for men and women is Option D, as the others don't have enough sample size for women.

pshichka [43]

Answer:

12 mathletes is needed to solve 30 problems in 5 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

8 athletes can solve 20 problems in 10 minutes

30-20=10

now we need 10 more problems to be solved so

20/2=10. 8/2=4 so we need more 4 mathletes to solve all the problems

The total cost for two family cars was $71,1482 the cost of one car was $38,295 write an equation using a variable to represent
Harrizon [31]

Your 71,1482 doesn't make sense. But regardless,

let x = the other car's cost.

You know the total spent and the cost of one car. So logically, if you subtract the two you'd get the price of the second car.

You can do $38,295 + c = $71,1482.

Or $71,1482 - $38,295 = c.

Analyzing a Graph In Exercise, analyze and sketch the graph of the function. Lable any relative extrema, points of inflection, a
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

Analyzed and Sketched.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given y=\frac{\ln\left(5x)}{x^2}

To sketch the graph we need to find 2 components.

1) First derivative of y with respect to x to determine the interval where function increases and decreases.

2) Second derivative of y with respect to x to determine the interval where function is concave up and concave down.

y'=\frac{1-2\ln\left(5x)}{x^3}=0

x = \sqrt e/5 is absolute maximum

y''=\frac{6\ln\left(5x)-5}{x^4}=0

x=e^{5/6}/5 is the point concavity changes from down to up.

Here, x = 0 is vertical asymptote and y = 0 is horizontal asymptote.

The graph is given in the attachment.
