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

Fill in the blanks for this geometry problem. Translation, reflection, etc type of problem. 70 POINTS!
Shkiper50 [21]

The answer is translation of 2 units left and a reflection over the x-axis.

The triangle is translated 2 units left because the triangle moved two units to the left and it is reflected over the x-axis because the bottom triangle is like a reflection of the original triangle.

A glass paperweight has a composite shape: a square pyramid fitting exacty on top of an 8 centimeter cube. The pyramid has a hei
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

Part 1) The volume of the paperweight is 576\ cm^{3}

Part 2) The total surface area of the paperweight is 400\ cm^{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1) what is the volume of the paperweight?

we know that

The volume of the paperweight is equal to the volume of the square pyramid plus the volume of the cube

step 1

Find the volume of the pyramid

The volume of the pyramid is equal to

V=\frac{1}{3}BH

where

B is the area of the square base

H is the height of the pyramid

B=8^{2}=64\ cm^{2}

H=3\ cm

substitute

V=\frac{1}{3}(64)(3)=64\ cm^{3}

step 2

Find the volume of the cube

The volume of the cube is equal to

V=b^{3}

V=8^{3}=512\ cm^{3}

step 3

Find the volume of the paperweight

64\ cm^{3}+512\ cm^{3}=576\ cm^{3}

Part 2) what is the total surface area of the paperweight?​

we know that

The total surface area of the paperweight is equal to the surface area of 5 faces of the cube plus the lateral area of the pyramid

step 1

Find the surface area of 5 faces of the cube

SA=5b^{2}

SA=5(8^{2})=320\ cm^{2}

step 2

Find the lateral area of the pyramid

LA=4[\frac{1}{2}bh]

LA=4[\frac{1}{2}(8)(5)]=80\ cm^{2}

step 3

Find the total surface area of the paperweight

320\ cm^{2}+80\ cm^{2}=400\ cm^{2}

At a local college 100 students were asked about their major fields of study. The results are shown below. What is the probabili
Oksanka [162]

Answer:

7/10

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the probability that a student is a liberal arts or female, we have to add together all of the people who were female or liberal arts majors in the study. If we add those together, (15 + 18 + 17 + 20) we get 70. 70/100 can be simplified to 7/10.
