Answer:

80$ per week if you mean only 2 siblings

100$ per week if you mean the first child plus 2 siblings

A door delivery florist wishes to estimate the proportion of people in his city that will purchase his flowers. Suppose the true

kvv77 [185]

Answer:

99.74% probability that the sample proportion will be less than 0.1

Step-by-step explanation:

I am going to use the binomial approximation to the normal to solve this question.

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:

$n = 276, p = 0.06$

So

$\mu = E(X) = np = 276*0.06 = 16.56$

$\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{276*0.06*0.94} = 3.9454$

What is the probability that the sample proportion will be less than 0.1

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 0.1*276 = 27.6. So

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

$Z = \frac{27.6 - 16.56}{3.9454}$

$Z = 2.8$

$Z = 2.8$ has a pvalue of 0.9974

99.74% probability that the sample proportion will be less than 0.1

Explanation:

Imagine we have a point

P

with Rectangular (also called Cartesian) coordinates

(

x

,

y

)

and Polar coordinates

(

r

,

θ

)

.

The following diagram will help us visualise the situation better:

We can see that a right triangle is formed with sides

x

,

y

and

r

, as well as an angle

θ

.

We have to find the relation between the Cartesian and Polar coordinates, respectively.

By Pythagora's theorem, we get the result

r

Graph the image of this quadrilateral after a dilation with a scale factor of 4 centered at the origin

Brut [27]

Answer: The image is attached.

Step-by-step explanation:

A Dilation is defined as a transformation in which the image and the pre-image have the same shape, but their sizes are different.

When the scale factor is greater than 1, the image obtained after the dilation is greater than the pre-image and it is an "Enlargement".

When the scale factor is is between 0 and 1, the image obtained after the dilation is smaller than the pre-image and it is an "Reduction".

In this case we know that the scale factor is:

$scale\ factor=4$

Since:

$4>1$

It is an Enlargement.

You can identify that the vertices of the pre-image shown in the figure, are:

$(-2,1)\\\\(-1,2)\\\\(0,0)\\\\(-1,-2)$

So you need to multiply the coordinates of those vertices by 4 in order to get the coordinates of the image;

$((-2)(4),1(4))=(-8,4)\\\\((-1)(4),(2)(4))=(-4,8)\\\\((0)(4),(0)(4)=(0,0)\\\\((-1)(4),(-2)(4))=(-4,-8)$

Now you can draw it (The image is attached).
