Answer:

N = 1/2x + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that Jane has 6 more shoes than 1/2 of what Mercedes has. We can use this information to make an equation.

N (or number of shoes Jane has) is equal to 1/2x (or the number of shoes Mercedes has) plus 6.

When written out we get our answer of:

N + 1/2x + 6

Nora got an allowance of 50¢ each weekday and 75¢ each weekend altogether how much do they get in:

Furkat [3]

A) > since it is 50c per weekday and 75c each weekend assuming it allows for the 2 days each saturday/sunday.
50c * 5 = $2.50 since there are 5 days in weekdays
75c * 2 = $1.50 since there are 2 days in the weekend
Add $2.50 and $1.50 to get $4.00

b) For 3 school days we know it is a weekday on the school week.
So perform 50c * 3 which gives us $1.50

c) 12 days off from school is 10 weekdays and 1 weekend or 2 days of 75c
So now just do 50c * 10 which is $5.00 and 75c * 2 which is $1.50
Add $5.00 and $1.50 and we get $6.50

d) 4 weeks = 20 weekdays since 5 *4 = 20 and 8 days in each weekend since 2 * 4 = 8
Now that we have the amount of weekdays and weekend days we can multiply.
50c * 20 = $10.00
75c * 4 = $3.00
Add $10.00 and $3.00 to get $13.00 for 4 weeks.

e) We have 1 day of the weekend and 2 weekdays here.
50c * 2 = $1.00
75c * 1 = 75c
$1.00 + 75c = $1.75 in those 3 days listed.

Add all these together to get your total value.
$4.00 + $1.50 + $6.50 + $13.00 + $1.75 = $26.75

Suppose that you take a sample of 250 adults. If the population proportion of adults who watch news videos is 0.58, what is the

aliina [53]

Answer:

0.36% probability that fewer than half in your sample will watch news videos

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, i am going to use the binomial approximation to the normal.

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

Can be approximated to a normal distribution, using the expected value and the standard deviation.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

$E(X) = np$

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

$\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}$

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

When we are approximating a binomial distribution to a normal one, we have that $\mu = E(X)$ , $\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)}$ .

In this problem, we have that:

$n = 250, p = 0.58$

$\mu = E(X) = 250*0.58 = 145$

$\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{250*0.58*0.42} = 7.80$

If the population proportion of adults who watch news videos is 0.58, what is the probability that fewer than half in your sample will watch news videos

Half: 0.5*250 = 125

Less than half is 124 or less

So this is the pvalue of Z when X = 124

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{124 - 145}{7.8}$
