A TV executive is interested in the popularity of a particular cable TV show. She has been told that a whopping 68% of American

households would be interested in tuning in to a new network version of the show. If this is correct, what is the probability that all 6 of the households in her city being monitored by the TV industry would tune in to the new show

Answer:

0.0989 = 9.89% probability that all 6 of the households in her city being monitored by the TV industry would tune in to the new show

Step-by-step explanation:

For each household, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they will tune in to the show, or they wont. The probability of a household being tuned in to the show is independent of any other household. This means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

She has been told that a whopping 68% of American households would be interested in tuning in to a new network version of the show.

This means that p = 0.68

If this is correct, what is the probability that all 6 of the households in her city being monitored by the TV industry would tune in to the new show

All 6 is P(X = 6) when n = 6. So

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 6) = C_{6,6}.(0.68)^{6}.(0.32)^{0} = 0.0989

0.0989 = 9.89% probability that all 6 of the households in her city being monitored by the TV industry would tune in to the new show

Construct an equation that has n = 6 as its solution. Use n on both sides of the equation.
nevsk [136]

Answer:

See Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Required

Determine any equation where n = 6

n = 6

Add n to both sides

n + n = 6 + n

<em></em>2n = 6 + n<em> ----- This is 1 equation</em>

n = 6

Multiply both sides by n

n * n = 6 * n

<em></em>n^2 = 6n<em> ----- This is another</em>

<em></em>

n = 6

Add 5n to both sides

n + 5n = 6 + 5n

<em></em>6n = 6 + 5n<em> ---- This is another</em>

Subtract 10 from both sides

6n - 10 = 6 - 10 + 5n

6n - 10 = -4 + 5n

<em></em>6n - 10 = 5n - 4<em> --- This is another</em>

<em>You can have as many equations as possible</em>

A study was done to determine the average number of homes that a homeowner owns in his or her lifetime. For the 50 homeowners su
ipn [44]

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval for the true average number of homes that a person owns in his or her lifetime is (4,6.2).

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the standard deviation for the sample, which means that the t-distribution is used to solve this question.

The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom,which is the sample size subtracted by 1. So

df = 50 - 1 = 49

95% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 49 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of 1 - \frac{1 - 0.95}{2} = 0.975. So we have T = 2.0096

The margin of error is:

M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 2.0096\frac{3.8}{\sqrt{50}} = 1.1

In which s is the standard deviation of the sample and n is the size of the sample.

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 5.1 - 1.1 = 4

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 5.1 + 1.1 = 6.2.

The 95% confidence interval for the true average number of homes that a person owns in his or her lifetime is (4,6.2).
