One environmental group did a study of recycling habits in a California community. It found that 75% of the aluminum cans sold i

n the area were recycled. (Use the normal approximation. Round your answers to four decimal places.)
(a) If 387 cans are sold today, what is the probability that 300 or more will be recycled?



(b) Of the 387 cans sold, what is the probability that between 260 and 300 will be recycled?

Answer:

a

  P( \^ p  >  0.775 ) =  0.12798

b

 P( 0.6718 < p  <  0.775 ) =0.87183

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The population proportion is  p =  0.75

Considering question a  

     The sample size is  n  =  387

Generally the standard deviation of this sampling distribution is  

         \sigma  = \sqrt{ \frac{p(1 - p)}{ n } }    

=>      \sigma  = \sqrt{ \frac{0.75(1 - 0.75)}{ 387 } }    

=>      \sigma  = 0.022    

The sample proportion of cans that are recycled is

                 \^ p =  \frac{ 300}{387 }

=>              \^ p =  0.775

Generally the probability that 300 or more will be recycled is mathematically represented as

         P( \^ p  >  0.775 ) =  P( \frac{\^ p  -  p }{ \sigma }  >  \frac{0.775 - 0.75 }{ 0.022} )

\frac{\^ p  - p }{\sigma }  =  Z (The  \ standardized \  value\  of  \ \^ p  )

       P( \^ p  >  0.775 ) =  P( Z >  1.136  )

From the z table  the area under the normal curve to the left corresponding to  1.591   is

      P( Z >  1.136)  = 0.12798

=>    P( \^ p  >  0.775 ) =  0.12798

Considering question b

Generally the lower limit of  sample proportion of cans that are recycled is

                 \^ p_1 =  \frac{ 260 }{387 }

=>              \^ p_1  =  0.6718

Generally the upper limit of  sample proportion of cans that are recycled is

                 \^ p_2 =  \frac{ 300}{387 }

=>              \^ p_2  =  0.775

Generally probability that between 260 and 300 will be recycled is mathematically represented as

           P( 0.6718 < p  <  0.775 ) =  P( \frac{0.6718 - 0.75 }{ 0.022}<  \frac{\^ p  -  p }{ \sigma }

=>      P( 0.6718 < p  <  0.775 ) =  P( -3.55 <  Z < 1.136 )

=>        P( 0.6718 < p  <  0.775 ) = P(Z <  1.136 ) -  P( Z <  -3.55 )

From the z table  the area under the normal curve to the left corresponding to  1.136 and  -3.55  is

       P( Z <  -3.55 ) = 0.00019262

and

       P(Z <  1.136 )  = 0.87202

So

       P( 0.6718 < p  <  0.775 ) =  0.87202-  0.00019262

=>   P( 0.6718 < p  <  0.775 ) =0.87183

From 10:00 am to noon, the rise in temperature is 4 degrees C, and from 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm, the fall in temperature is 6 degrees
lyudmila [28]

Answer:

(a) 2 degree celsius per hour

(b) 3 degree celsius per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question,

(a) Avearge rate of rise in temperature per hour(T') = Rise in temperature(T)/Time required for the rise(t).

T' = T/t.................... Euqation 1

Rise in temperature (T) = 4 degree celsius, t = 10.00 am to noon = 2 hours.

Substitute into equation 1

T' = 4/2

T' = 2 degree celsius per hour.

(b) Also,

Average rate of fall in temperature per hour (T') = Fall in temperature (T)/Time(t)

T' = T/t

Given: T = 6 degree celsius, t = 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm = 2 hours

T' = 6/2

T' = 3 degree celsius per hour

A recent survey of
Serga [27]

Answer:

The total number of students in a survey is 300.

Let the number of junior male(JM) be x and the number of senior males(SM) be y.

Let the number of junior female(JF) be p and the number of senior males(SF) be q.

It is given that there are 160 males, 80 junior females, 130 seniors.

Since number of males are 160. So the number of females are,

300-160=140

Since number of junior females is 80.

JF+SF=140\\80+SF=140\\SF=60

Since number of seniors are 130.

SM+SF=130\\SM+60=130\\SM=70

Since number of males is 160.

JM+SM=160\\JM+70=160\\JM=90

Therefore, the table and venn diagram is shown below.
