Answer: 0.2643

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p be the population proportion and \hat{p} be the sample proportion .

As per given question , we have

p=0.14\\\\ \hat{p}=0.13\\\\ n=478

z-score : \dfrac{\hat{p}-p}{\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}}

z=\dfrac{0.13-0.14}{\sqrt{\dfrac{0.14(1-0.14)}{478}}}\\\\=-0.630087269176\approx-0.63

The required probability ( using z-table ):-

P(z

Hence, the probability that the proportion of books checked out in a sample of 478 books would be less than 13% = 0.2643

Write an expression to represent four more than the problem of three and a number z
kicyunya [14]

Answer:

If the "problem of 3 and a number z" is multiplying: 4+(3z)

If it's about adding: 4+(3+z)

Step-by-step explanation:

Scenario A: If it's 3 and z, then that means it's 3z, and we're adding 4, so it's 4+(3z) (make sure to put () around the 3z!)

Scenario B: If 3 and z is also 3+z, then the equation is 4+(3+z) (also use () on this too!)

Please help me [Below is the graph of equation y=|x+2|-1. Use this graph to find all values of x such that y<0] IF YOU PUT A
Alchen [17]

Answer:

x ∈ (-3, -1)

Step-by-step explanation:

In the graph, the vertical axis represents the y-value, while the horizontal axis represents the x-value.

y < 0 (y smaller than zero) happens in the region where the graph is below the horizontal axis.

Only by looking at the graph, we can see that y < 0 (the graph is below the horizontal axis) for the values of x in the interval (-3, -1)

Then all the values of x such that y < 0 are:

x ∈ (-3, -1)
