Gallup conducted a survey from April 1 to 25, 2010, to determine the congressional vote preference of the American voters.15 The

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. What is your advice

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

How to find equation of line passing through the points (x,y)​
DochEvi [55]

First you must acknowledge that you are dealing with a line therefore you must write linear equation or linear function in this case.

Linear function has a form of,

y=mx+n

Then calculate the slope <em>m</em> using the coordinates of two points. Let say <em>A(x1, y1)</em> and <em>B(x2, y2)</em>,

m=\dfrac{\Delta{y}}{\Delta{x}}=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Now pick a point either <em>A</em> or <em>B</em> and insert coordinates of either one of them in the linear equation also insert the slope you just calculated, I will pick point <em>A</em>.

y_1=mx_1+n

From here you solve the equation for n,

y_1=mx_1+n\Longrightarrow n=y_1-mx_1

So you have slope <em>m</em> and variable <em>n</em> therefore you can write down the equation of the line,

f(x)=m_{slope}x+n_{variable}

Hope this helps.

If f x equals x -3 + g x equals 1 - x 2 - 9 find ( f og) (x and give any restrictions on its domain
evablogger [386]
\begin{gathered} f(x)=x-3 \\ g(x)=\frac{1}{x^2-9} \\ (\text{fog)(x)}=\frac{1}{x^2-9}-3 \end{gathered}

the denominator cannot be zero, because the division by zero is not defined, therefore:

\begin{gathered} x^2-9=0 \\ \text{Solving for x:} \\ x^2=9 \\ \sqrt[]{x^2}=\sqrt[]{9} \\ x=\pm3 \end{gathered}

Therefore the domain of (f o g)(x) is:

D\colon(-\infty,-3)\cup(-3,3)\cup(3,\infty)
