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

It is the second function:
y=(1/2)^(x-3)
When x=0, the exponent is -3.  (1/2)^-3 is 8.

fiasKO [112]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

(a) We will form an equation of line from the points given (6,10) and (2,15)

Using:

On substituting the values in the formula above we will get the required equation of line.

On simplification we will get:

(b) We need to tell at day 0 put x=0 in above equation:

Anika worked for 70 hours on the set up crew on the day the fair arrived at the fairgrounds day 0.

Now, we need to tell decrease per day which is equal to the slope of line

To find the slope compare the equation with general equation which is y=mx+c where m is slope

Here, in

 which is the decrease per day.
