Answer:

  • 0.38 yard² of gray material
  • 0.58 yard² of yellow.

Step-by-step explanation:

1 yard is about 36 inches.

A square yard in square inches will therefore be:

= 36 * 36

= 1,296 inch²

He needs 497 square inches of gray fabric. In square yards that will be:

= 497/1,296

= 0.38 yard² of gray material

He needs 746 square inches of yellow:

= 746/1,296

= 0.58 yard² of yellow.

Answer:

(a) The probability that a randomly selected U.S. adult uses social media is 0.35.

(b) The probability that a randomly selected U.S. adult is aged 18–29 is 0.22.

(c) The probability that a randomly selected U.S. adult is 18–29 and a user of social media is 0.198.

Step-by-step explanation:

Denote the events as follows:

<em>X</em> = an US adult who does not uses social media.

<em>Y</em> = an US adult between the ages 18 and 29.

<em>Z</em> = an US adult between the ages 30 and above.

The information provided is:

P (X) = 0.35

P (Z) = 0.78

P (Y ∪ X') = 0.672

(a)

Compute the probability that a randomly selected U.S. adult uses social media as follows:

P (US adult uses social media (<em>X'</em><em>)</em>) = 1 - P (US adult so not use social media)

                                                   =1-P(X)\\=1-0.35\\=0.65

Thus, the probability that a randomly selected U.S. adult uses social media is 0.35.

(b)

Compute the probability that a randomly selected U.S. adult is aged 18–29 as follows:

P (Adults between 18 - 29 (<em>Y</em>)) = 1 - P (Adults 30 or above)

                                            =1-P(Z)\\=1-0.78\\=0.22

Thus, the probability that a randomly selected U.S. adult is aged 18–29 is 0.22.

(c)

Compute the probability that a randomly selected U.S. adult is 18–29 and a user of social media as follows:

P (Y ∩ X') = P (Y) + P (X') - P (Y ∪ X')

                =0.22+0.65-0.672\\=0.198

Thus, the probability that a randomly selected U.S. adult is 18–29 and a user of social media is 0.198.

Consider the question of whether the home team wins more than half of its games in the National Basketball Association. Suppose
spayn [35]

Answer:

0.0037 = 0.37% probability that the home team would win 65% or more of its games in a simple random sample of 80 games

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 zscore 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 pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes 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}}

The home team therefore wins 50% of its games

This means that p = 0.5

Determine the probability that the home team would win 65% or more of its games in a simple random sample of 80 games

Sample of 80 means that n = 80 and, by the Central Limit Theorem:

\mu = p = 0.65

s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}} = \sqrt{\frac{0.5*0.5}{80}} = 0.0559

This probability is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 0.65. So

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

Z = \frac{0.65 - 0.5}{0.0559}

Z = 2.68

Z = 2.68 has a pvalue of 0.9963

1 - 0.9963 = 0.0037

0.0037 = 0.37% probability that the home team would win 65% or more of its games in a simple random sample of 80 games

Please answer this question for points
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

<h2>y = -2x + -3</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope-intercept form is y = mx + b

"m" is the slope, how steep the line is.

"b" is the y-intercept, where to graph hits the y-axis.

Check the scale for this grid. Since there are "1" written on the first box after the middle, <u>one square = one unit</u>.

To find "m", use  m = \frac{rise}{run}   between the two dotted points on the graph. The first point is always on the left.

<u>"Rise" means how many squares above</u> the first point the second point is.

Since the second point is below the first point, the number is negative.

<u>"Run" means how many squares to the right</u> the second point is.

m = \frac{rise}{run}          

m = \frac{-2}{1}

m = -2

To find "b", look at where the graph it touching the y-axis.

The y-axis is the vertical line (going from top to bottom).

Count the number of squares from the grid's middle to the graph line.

There are 3 squares.

Since the graph touches below the origin, this is a negative number.

b = -3

In the boxes, you put negative two (-2) and negative three (-3).

* Usually we would simplify the equation to y = -2x - 3.
