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

Step-by-step explanation:

[ Refer to the attachment for steps ]

  • We have to eliminate the highest degree coefficient in each step.

  • And as in division of normal numbers we subtract the things here we do the same ,

but while subtracting we have to take care about the signs !

  • The negative sign changes the negative sign into positive sign and positive sign into negative sign.

  • Whereas , a positive sign don't changes the sign.

the length of a rectangle is 4 more than 3 times the width. If the perimeter of the rectangle is 18.4cm, what is the area of the
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

A = 10.27cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's represent the width as x,

therefore since the length is 4 more than 3 times the width, it can be represent as 3x + 4,   Perimeter = 18.4cm

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(L + B)

18.4= 2(3x+4+x)\\18.4= 6x+8+2x\\18.4-8=6x+2x\\10.4=8x\\x=\frac{10.4}{8}\\x=1.3

width = 1.3cm

Length = 3x + 4 = 3*1.3 + 4 = 7.9cm

Area of a rectangle = length x width

A = 7.9 * 1.3 = 10.27cm²
