Answer:

The probability that the proportion of airborne viruses in a sample of 553 viruses would be greater than 5% is 0.1151.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Central limit theorem, if from an unknown population large samples of sizes n > 30, are selected and the sample proportion for each sample is computed then the sampling distribution of sample proportion follows a Normal distribution.

The mean of this sampling distribution of sample proportion is:

\mu_{\hat p}=p\\\\

The standard deviation of this sampling distribution of sample proportion is:

\sigma_{\hat p}=\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}

The sample size is, <em>n</em> = 553 > 30. Thus, the Central limit theorem is applicable in this case.

Compute the mean and standard deviation as follows:

\mu_{\hat p}=p=0.04\\\\\sigma_{\hat p}=\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}=\sqrt{\frac{0.04\times 0.96}{553}}=0.0083

Compute the probability that the proportion of airborne viruses in a sample of 553 viruses would be greater than 5% as follows:

 P(\hat p>0.05)=P(\frac{\hat p-\mu_{\hat p}}{\sigm_{\hat p}}>\frac{0.05-0.04}{0.0083})\\\\=P(Z>1.20)\\\\=1-P(Z

Thus, the probability that the proportion of airborne viruses in a sample of 553 viruses would be greater than 5% is 0.1151.

In 2018, the number of students at The Villages High School was 975 and is increasing at a rate of 2.5% per year. Write and use
avanturin [10]

Answer:

A(t)=975(1.025)^t

In 2025,the number of students at the villages high school=1159

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that in 2018

Number of students at the villages high school=975

Increasing rate,r=2.5%=0.025

We have to write and use of exponential growth function to project the populating in 2025.

A_0=975,t=0

According to question

Number of students at the villages high School is given by

A(t)=A_0(1+r)^t

Substitute the values

A(t)=975(1+0.025)^t=975(1.025)^t

t=7

Substitute the value

Then, the number of students at the villages high school in 2025

A(7)=975(1.025)^7=1158.96\approx 1159
