Some biologists believe the evolution of handedness is linked to complex behaviors such as tool-use. Under this theory, handedne

ss would be genetically passed on from parents to children. That is, left-handed parents would be more likely to have lefthanded children than right-handed parents. An alternate theory asserts that handedness should be random, with left- and right-handedness equally likely. In a recent study using a simple random sample of n  76 right-handed parents, 50 of the children born were right-handed. ( pˆ =0.658 .) Suppose handedness is a random occurrence with either hand equally likely to be dominant, implying that the probability of a right-handed offspring is p =0.50.
Required:
a. Show that it is reasonable to approximate the sampling distribution of p̂ using a normal distribution.
b. Assuming left- and right-handed children are equally likely from right-handed parents, what is the probability of observing a sample proportion of at least p̂ =0.658 ?

Answer:

a) Since both np >= 5 and n(1-p) >= 5,  it is reasonable to approximate the sampling distribution of p^‚ using a normal distribution.

b) 0.5 = 50% probability of observing a sample proportion of at 0.658.

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Show that it is reasonable to approximate the sampling distribution of p̂ using a normal distribution.

We need that:

np >= 5

n(1-p) >= 5

Sample of 76, 50 of the children were born were right-handed.

So n = 76, p = \frac{50}{76} = 0.658

np = 76*0.658 >= 5

n(1-p) = 76*0.342 >= 5

Since both np >= 5 and n(1-p) >= 5,  it is reasonable to approximate the sampling distribution of p^‚ using a normal distribution.

b. Assuming left- and right-handed children are equally likely from right-handed parents, what is the probability of observing a sample proportion of at least p̂ =0.658 ?

This is the mean, so 50% below and 50% above.

0.5 = 50% probability of observing a sample proportion of at 0.658.

What Is -0.75-(-2/50)+0.4(-3/4)? Explain and answer the question please
lilavasa [31]
The answer is -1.01
I first changed the signs of the ones i could. So <span>-0.75+(2/50)+0.4(-3/4)
Then i multiplied the 0.4*-3/4 which equals -0.3
So you are left with </span><span>-0.75+(2/50)-0.3
2/50 is equal to 0.04 so now it is </span> -0.75+0.04-0.3 and the rest is simple math. Which equals -1.01

Find the explicit formula for the sequence? -1,4,-16,64......
Ede4ka [16]

The explicit formula for given sequence is: a_n = -1 . (-4)^{n-1}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given sequence is:

-1,4,-16,64.....

We can see that there is no same difference between consecutive terms so we will find common ratio to see if it is a geometric sequence.

Here

a_1 = -1\\a_2 = 4\\a_3 = -16\\a_4 = 64\\r = \frac{a_2}{a_1} = \frac{4}{-1} = -4\\r = \frac{a_3}{a_2} = \frac{-16}{4} = -4

The explicit formula for geometric sequence is:

a_n = a_1r^{n-1}

Putting the values of r and a1

a_n = -1 . (-4)^{n-1}

Hence

The explicit formula for given sequence is: a_n = -1 . (-4)^{n-1}

Keywords: Geometric sequence, common ratio

Consider an assembly line with 20 stations. Each station has a 0.5% probability of making a defect. At the end of the line, an i
vova2212 [387]
The answer is 0.4%. The probability that a unit end in a rework can be calculated using the following equation:

P(rework)= P(defects found) * P(defect)
                = .8 * .005
                = .004
                = 0.4%
