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

Given that the expression x³_ ax² + bx+c leaves the same remainder when divided by x + 1 or x-2, find 'a' in terms of 'b'.​
goblinko [34]

Answer:

Hi,

a=b+3

Step-by-step explanation:

\begin{array}{c||c|c|c|c}&x^3&x^2&x&1\\---&---&---&---&---\\&1&-a&b&c\\x=-1&&-1&a+1&-a-b-1\\---&---&---&---&---\\&1&-a-1&a+b+1&c-a-b-1\\\end{array}

\begin{array}{c||c|c|c|c}&x^3&x^2&x&1\\---&---&---&---&---\\&1&-a&b&c\\x=2&&2&4-2a&2b+8-4a\\---&---&---&---&---\\&1&2-a&b+4-2a&c+2b+8-4a\\\end{array}

Thus:

c+2b+8-4a=c-a-b-1

3b-3a=-9

<u>a=b+3</u>
