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.

What is the scale factor of the dilation?
VLD [36.1K]
The rule for dilation (scale factor k) about the origin is given by:
(x,y)->(kx,ky)

The scale factor k can be obtained from any one of the ratios:
scale\, factor\, =\, k\, = \frac{OD'}{OD}=\frac{OE'}{OE}=\frac{OF'}{OF}=\frac{OG'}{OG}=\frac{1}{2}

1. Which graph models the equation y = 3.5x?
MAXImum [283]
1) is C because the line is increasing not decreasing and it goes up 7 & right 2.
2) the y-intercept is -2 and the slope is up 3 over 1, so the answer has to be B
3) the answer is A because the up 2 over 3
4) the y-intercept is a positive 4, and the slope is going down 3 and to the right 5, and the line is decreasing so you know it has to be negative. the answer is D

Write out the steps in solving 3/4 x 2 2/5
max2010maxim [7]
3/4 × 2 2/5

Turn 2 2/5 into an improper fraction.

2 2/5 = (5 × 2) + 2 = 12

So, 2 2/5 = 12/5

So, our new question is : 3/4 × 12/5

Multiply the numerators (top numbers) with one another.

Numerators : (3 × 12) = 36

Multiply the denominators (bottom numbers) with one another.

Denominators : (4 × 5) = 20

So, our answer is 36/20

However, we need this to be a mixed number.

So, how many times does 20 go into 36? Once!

So, Multiply 20 with 1, and then subtract that number from 36! :)

20 × 1 = 20

36 - 20 = 16

So, our answer is :

1 16/20

Then, you simplify it once more.

Divide the numerator and denominator by 4.

16 ÷ 4 = 4

20 ÷ 4 = 5

So, our final answer is 1 4/5
