A pew research Center project on the state of news media showed that the clearest pattern of news audience growth in 2012 came o

n digital platforms. According to pew research data, 39% of Americans get news online or from a mobile device in a typical day. a. Suppose that you take a sample of 100 Americans. If the population proportion of Americans who get news online or from a mobile device in a typical day is 0.39, what is the probability that fewer than 30% in your sample will get news online or from a mobile device in a typical day? b. Suppose that you take a sample of 400 Americans. If the population proportion of Americans who get news online or from a mobile device in a typical day is 0.39, what is the probability that fewer than 30% in your sample will get news online or from a mobile device in a typical day? c. Discuss the effect of sample size on the sampling distribution of the proportion in general and the effect on the probabilities in (a) and (b).

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

the sample proportion p = 0.39

sample size = 100

Then np = 39

Using normal approximation

The sampling distribution from the sample proportion is approximately normal.

Thus, mean \mu _{\hat p} = p = 0.39

The standard deviation;

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

\sigma = \sqrt{\dfrac{0.39(1-0.39)}{100} }

\sigma = 0.048

The test statistics can be computed as:

Z = \dfrac{{\hat _{p}} - \mu_{_ {\hat p}} }{\sigma_{\hat p}}

Z = \dfrac{0.3 - 0.39 }{0.0488}

Z = -1. 8 4

From the z - tables;

P (\hat p \le 0.3 ) = P(z \le -1.84)

\mathbf{P (\hat p \le 0.3 ) = 0.0329}

(b)

Here;

the sample proportion = 0.39

the sample size n = 400

Since np = 400 * 0.39 = 156

Thus, using normal approximation.

From the sample proportion, the sampling distribution is approximate to the mean \mu_{\hat p} =  p = 0.39

the standard deviation \sigma_{\hat p} = \sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n} }

\sigma_{\hat p} = \sqrt{\dfrac{0.39 (1-0.39)}{400} }

\sigma_{\hat p} =0.0244

The test statistics can be computed as:

Z = \dfrac{{\hat _{p}} - \mu_{_ {\hat p}} }{\sigma_{\hat p}}

Z = \dfrac{0.3 - 0.39 }{0.0244}

Z = -3.69

From the z - tables;

P (\hat p \le 0.3 ) = P(z \le -3.69)

\mathbf{P (\hat p \le 0.3 ) = 0.0001}

(c) The effect of the sample size on the sampling distribution is that:

As sample size builds up, the standard deviation of the sampling distribution decreases.

In addition to that, reduction in the standard deviation resulted in increases in the Z score, and the probability of having a sample proportion  that is less than 30% also decreases.

Billy is 5 2/3 feet tall. Maris is 4 11/12 feet tall. How much taller is billy
3241004551 [841]

3/4 feet

You can set this up as an equation and solve

5\frac{2}{3}-4\frac{11}{12} =5\frac{8}{12}  -4\frac{11}{12} =4\frac{20}{12} -4\frac{11}{12}=\frac{9}{12} =\frac{3}{4}

S the expression x3•x3•x3 equivalent to x3•3•3
Artyom0805 [142]
Remember
(x^m)(x^n)=x^(m+n)
and difference of 2 perfect squres
(a²-b²)=(a-b)(a+b)
and sum or difference of 2 perfect cubes

so
(x^3)(x^3)(x^3)=x^(3+3+3)=x^9
so

x^9=3*3*x^3
x^9=9x^3
minus 9x^3 both sides
0=x^9-9x^3
factor
0=(x^3)(x^6-9)
factor difference of 2 perfect squraes
0=(x^3)(x^3-3)(x^3+3)
factor differnce or sum of 2 perfect cubes (force 3 into (∛3)³)
0=(x³)(x-∛3)(x²+x∛3+∛9)(x+∛3)(x²-x∛3+∛9)
set each to zero

x³=0
x=0

x-∛3=0
x=∛3

x²+x∛3+∛9=0 has no solution

x+∛3=0
x=-∛3

x²-x∛3+∛9=0 has no solution



so the solutions are
x=-∛3, 0, ∛3
