A potato chip company produces a large number of potato chip bags each day and wants to investigate whether a new packaging mach

ine will lower the proportion of bags that are damaged. The company selected a random sample of 150 bags from the old machine and found that 15 percent of the bags were damaged, then selected a random sample of 200 bags from the new machine and found that 8 percent were damaged. Let p^O represent the sample proportion of bags packaged on the old machine that are damaged, pˆN represent the sample proportion of bags packaged on the new machine that are damaged, pˆC represent the combined proportion of damaged bags from both machines, and nO and nN represent the respective sample sizes for the old machine and new machine.
Required:
Have the conditions for statistical inference for testing a difference in population proportions been met?

Answer:

The conditions for the approximation have been met

Step-by-step explanation:

Random samples on both cases  and

p∧o proportion of bags packaged on the old machine that are damaged

p∧n sample proportion of bags packaged on the new machine that are damaged

p∧c  =  ( p∧o + p∧n ) / (nO + nN )  

p∧o = 15 %      p∧o =  0,15         nO = 150

p∧o *  nO = 0,15 *150          p∧o *  nO = 22,5

p∧n  = 8 %      p∧n  = 0,08     nN = 200

p∧n*nN  = 0,08 * 200     p∧n*nN  = 16

Both  p∧n*nN  and   p∧o *  nO    are bigger than 5

Therefore both samples are big enough for the approximation of the binomial distribution to normal distribution

The product of 7/8 and 9/10 is greater then 9/10
kati45 [8]
No the product will be less than 9/10.
This can be easily seen if the fractions are converted into decimals.
The decimal form of the product of 7/8 and 9/10 is 0.867 while the decimal form of 9/10 is 0.9. Therefore, the product of 7/8 and 9/10 is not greater than 9/10

A volleyball reaches its maximum height of 13 feet, 3 seconds after its served. Which of the following quadratics could model th
julsineya [31]
Only selections B and D give a maximum height of 13 at t=3. However, both of those functions have the height be -5 at t=0, meaning the ball was served from 5 ft below ground. This does not seem like an appropriate model.

We suspect ...
• the "correct" answers are probably B and D
• whoever wrote the problem wasn't paying attention.

ivolga24 [154]
If the pool has 18 married and 22 not married, this means there are 40 people total
this means there’s a 18/40 probability that people who are married will be chosen
18/40 = 2/5
There is a 22/40 probability people who are un married will be chosen
22/40 = 11/20
