A selective university advertises that 96% of its bachelor’s degree graduates have, on graduation day, a professional job offer

or acceptance in a graduate degree program in their major area of study. In a sample of 227 recent graduates this was true of 209 of them. The probability of obtaining a sample proportion as low as or lower than this, if the university’s claim is true, is about:________
a. 0.015
b. 0.001
c. 0.131
d, 0.084

Answer:

The probability is  P( p <  0.9207) = 0.0012556

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told

  The population proportion is p = 0.96

 The sample size is  n  =  227

 The number of graduate who had job is  k = 209

Generally given that the sample size is large enough  (i.e n >  30) then the mean of this sampling distribution is  

       \mu_x = p = 0.96

Generally the standard deviation of this sampling distribution is  

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

=>  \sigma  = \sqrt{\frac{0.96 (1 - 0.96 )}{227} }

=>  \sigma  = 0.0130

Generally the sample proportion is mathematically represented as

      \^ p =  \frac{k}{n}

=> \^ p =  \frac{209}{227}

=> \^ p =  0.9207

Generally probability of obtaining a sample proportion as low as or lower than this, if the university’s claim is true, is mathematically represented as

     P( p <  0.9207) = P( \frac{\^ p - p }{\sigma } <  \frac{0.9207 - 0.96}{0.0130 }  )

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

   P( p <  0.9207) = P(Z< -3.022 )

From the z table  the area under the normal curve to the left corresponding to    -3.022  is

     P(Z< -3.022 ) = 0.0012556

=> P( p <  0.9207) = 0.0012556

The driver of the bus filled the gas tank with gas by putting in 21 gallon. If the gas gauge was at five-eighths before she fill
vazorg [7]

Answer:

56 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

When her gas tank is full, she has x gallons in the tank.

when she went to the gas station, she had (5/8) of x gallons of gas in her tank. she added 21 gallons into her tank, then she had x gallons in her tank.

(5/8)x + 21 = x

subtract x and 21 from both sides

(5/8)x - x = -21

factor out an x from the left side

x(5/8 - 1) = -21

simplify the parenthesis

x(-3/8) = -21

multiply both sides by -8/3

x= 56 gallons

4. A mountain climber needs to descend 2,000 feet.
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

C. 500 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

If we want to make it all equal, we can divide the 2,000 ft by 4 because we have 4 equal descents.

2000 ÷ 4 = 500

He should travel <u>500 feet</u> in each descent.

Elizabeth has a swimming pool at home. She wants to build a deck all the way around her rectangular swimming pool. The width of
galben [10]

Using the perimeter of a rectangle, it is found that she can make a deck of 122 ft wide.

<h3>What is the perimeter of a rectangle?</h3>

The perimeter of a rectangle of length l and width w is given by:

P = 2(l + w)

In this problem:

  • She has enough wood to build a deck that is 280ft, hence P = 280.
  • The length is of 10 feet, hence l = 10.
  • Considering that the deck's width will be added to the actual width of 8 feet, we have that w = 8 + w.

Then:

P = 2(l + w)

280 = 2(10 + 8 + w)

36 + 2w = 280

2w = 244

w = \frac{144}{2}

w = 122

She can make a deck of 122 ft wide.
