Answer:

0.0838 = 8.38% probability of obtaining a sample proportion less than 0.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal Probability Distribution

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the z-score of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}.

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

For a proportion p in a sample of size n, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion will be approximately normal with mean \mu = p and standard deviation s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}

Proportion of 0.6

This means that p = 0.6

Sample of 46

This means that n = 46

Mean and standard deviation:

\mu = p = 0.6

s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}} = \sqrt{\frac{0.6*0.4}{46}} = 0.0722

Probability of obtaining a sample proportion less than 0.5.

p-value of Z when X = 0.5. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

By the Central Limit Theorem

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}

Z = \frac{0.5 - 0.6}{0.0722}

Z = -1.38

Z = -1.38 has a p-value of 0.0838

0.0838 = 8.38% probability of obtaining a sample proportion less than 0.5.

Find the magnitude and direction in degrees of the vector v=6i+2 seq31​
masha68 [24]

Answer:

Please check the explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the vector

v = 6i + 2√3j

The Magnitude of a vector:

\mathrm{Computing\:the\:Euclidean\:Length\:of\:a\:vector}:\quad \left|\left(x_1\:,\:\:\ldots \:,\:\:x_n\right)\right|=\sqrt{\sum _{i=1}^n\left|x_i\right|^2}

=\sqrt{6^2+\left(2\sqrt{3}\right)^2}

=\sqrt{36+12}

=\sqrt{48}

\mathrm{Apply\:radical\:rule}:\quad \sqrt[n]{ab}=\sqrt[n]{a}\sqrt[n]{b}

=\sqrt{3}\sqrt{2^4}

=4\sqrt{3}

The Direction of a vector:

tan Ф = y/x

y=2√3

x = 6

tan Ф = y/x

          = 2√3 / 6

           = √3 / 3                  

\theta \:=tan\:^{-1}\left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{3}\right)

\:\theta \:=\frac{\pi \:}{6}=30^{\circ \:}
