Answer:

Probability that the proportion of airborne viruses in a sample of 529 viruses would be greater than 8% is 0.9545.

Step-by-step explanation:

For the given population the distribution of air-borne viruses is given as 6%. Now for this the value of Z score is given as

Z=\dfrac{\hat{p}-p}{\sqrt{\dfrac{\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})}{n}}}

Here

  • \hat{p} is the sample measure which is 8% or 0.08
  • p is the population measure which is 6% or 0.06
  • n is the number of samples which is 529

So the Z score is given as

Z=\dfrac{\hat{p}-p}{\sqrt{\dfrac{\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})}{n}}}\\Z=\dfrac{0.08-0.06}{\sqrt{\dfrac{0.08(1-0.08)}{529}}}\\Z=\dfrac{0.02}{\sqrt{\dfrac{0.08(0.92)}{529}}}\\Z=\dfrac{0.02}{\sqrt{\dfrac{0.0736}{529}}}\\Z=\dfrac{0.02}{0.01179}\\Z=1.6955

For this the score, the value of probability is calculated from the table as below:

P(\hat{p}>0.08)=p(Z>1.6955)\\=1-p(Z

Here value of p(Z<-1.6955) is given as 0.0455

P(\hat{p}>0.08)=p(Z>1.6955)\\P(\hat{p}>0.08)=1-p(Z0.08)=1-0.0455\\P(\hat{p}>0.08)=0.9545

What does 2 (p -q) +5 (p+q) equal when p = 7 and q = -2? Answer:​
salantis [7]

Answer:

43

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

2(p - q) + 5(p + q) ← substitute p = 7 and q = - 2 into the expression

= 2(7 - (- 2)) + 5(7 + (- 2))

= 2(7 + 2) + 5(7 - 2)

= 2(9) + 5(5)

= 18 + 25

= 43

Need help with both questions

The value of the variable 'x' in the first case and the second case will be 9° and 1.

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

It is a polygon with four sides. The total interior angle is 360 degrees. A parallelogram's opposite sides are parallel and equal. And the sum of the adjacent angles is 180°.

In part 61, the equation is given as,

100° + 9x - 1° = 180°

Simplify the equation, then we have

9x + 99° = 180°

9x = 81°

x = 9°

In part 62, the equation is given as,

22x - 1 = 21

Simplify the equation, then we have

22x - 1 = 21

22x = 22

x = 1

The value of the variable 'x' in the first case and the second case will be 9° and 1.

More about the parallelogram link is given below.
