1/2 is equivalent to 2/4 because,
2(1/2) = 2/4
So as you can see if you multiply the numerator(top) and the denominator(bottom) by the same number, you get an equivalent fraction! In my example you can see that I multiplied both by 2.
Answer:
Probability that a sample mean is 12 or larger for a sample from the horse population is 0.0262.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that a veterinary researcher takes a random sample of 60 horses presenting with colic. The average age of the random sample of horses with colic is 12 years. The average age of all horses seen at the veterinary clinic was determined to be 10 years. The researcher also determined that the standard deviation of all horses coming to the veterinary clinic is 8 years.
So, firstly according to Central limit theorem the z score probability distribution for sample means is given by;
Z =
~ N(0,1)
where,
= average age of the random sample of horses with colic = 12 yrs
= average age of all horses seen at the veterinary clinic = 10 yrs
= standard deviation of all horses coming to the veterinary clinic = 8 yrs
n = sample of horses = 60
So, probability that a sample mean is 12 or larger for a sample from the horse population is given by = P(
12)
P(
12) = P(
) = P(Z
1.94) = 1 - P(Z < 1.94)
= 1 - 0.97381 = 0.0262
Therefore, probability that a sample mean is 12 or larger for a sample from the horse population is 0.0262.
Answer:
You must survey 784 air passengers.
Step-by-step explanation:
In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of
, and a confidence level of
, we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

In which
z is the zscore that has a pvalue of
.
The margin of error is:

95% confidence level
So
, z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of
, so
.
Assume that nothing is known about the percentage of passengers who prefer aisle seats.
This means that
, which is when the largest sample size will be needed.
Within 3.5 percentage points of the true population percentage.
We have to find n for which M = 0.035. So






You must survey 784 air passengers.
Answer:
A) x = (-8log(6)-2log(17))/(-2log(17)+log(6))
Step-by-step explanation:
Taking the logarithm of the equation, you have ...
(x+8)log(6) = (2x-2)log(17)
Subtracting the right side from the equation gives ...
x(log(6) -2log(17)) +8log(6)+2log(17) = 0
Subtracting the constant and dividing by the coefficient of x gives ...
x = -(8log(6) +2log(17))/(log(6) -2log(17)) . . . . . matches selection A
___
You don't need to work out the whole solution to determine the correct answer choice. Once you take the initial log, you find that the x-coefficient includes a multiplier of 2log(17). This term only appears in the denominator of choice A. (The value of x will be found after dividing by the x-coefficient, so you know this must show up in the denominator of the answer.)
