y found that 51% of the male voters preferred a Republican candidate to a Democratic candidate in a sample of 5,490 registered voters. Gallup asks you, their statistical consultant, to tell them whether you could declare the Republican candidate as the likely winner of the votes coming from men if there was an election today.

Answer:

p ( x > 2746 ) = p ( z > - 1.4552 )

                      = 1 - 0.072806

                      = 0.9272

This shows that there is > 92% of a republican candidate winning the election hence I will advice Gallup to declare the Republican candidate winner

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

51% of male voters preferred a Republican candidate

sample size = 5490

To win the vote one needs ≈ 2746 votes

In order to advice Gallup appropriately lets consider this as a binomial distribution

n = 5490

p = 0.51

q = 1 - 0.51 = 0.49

Hence n_{p} > 5  while n_{q}  < 5

we will consider it as a normal distribution

From the question :

number of male voters who prefer republican candidate  ( mean ) ( u )

= 0.51 * 5490 = 2799.9

std = \sqrt{npq} = \sqrt{5490 * 0.51 *0.49} = 37.0399  ---- ( 1 )

determine the Z-score = (x - u ) / std  ---- ( 2 )

x = 2746 , u = 2799.9 , std = 37.0399

hence Z - score = - 1.4552

hence

p ( x > 2746 ) = p ( z > - 1.4552 )

                      = 1 - 0.072806

                      = 0.9272

This shows that there is > 92% of a republican candidate winning the election hence I will advice Gallup to declare the Republican candidate winner

Leanne and her family plan to attend a symphony at an orchestra hall. Before booking the tickets, Leanne checked a website where
lord [1]

Using proportions, it is found that Leanne's family should book their tickets at Section U1 to maximize their chances of having a "perfect" view.

<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.

In this problem, the section with the highest proportion of perfect views should be chosen, hence:

pL1 = 57/90 = 0.633

pL2 = 33/52 = 0.635

pL3 = 47/75 = 0.623

PU1 = 55/84 = 0.655

pU2 = 27/43 = 0.628

pU3 = 22/35 = 0.629

Leanne's family should book their tickets at Section U1 to maximize their chances of having a "perfect" view.
