aleksklad [387]

Answer:

95.44% probability the resulting sample proportion is within .04 of the true proportion.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples are 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.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}.

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

For the sampling distribution of the sample proportion in sample of size n, the mean is \mu = p and the standard deviation is s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}

In this question:

p = 0.2, n = 400

So

\mu = 0.2, s = \sqrt{\frac{0.2*0.8}{400}} = 0.02

How likely is the resulting sample proportion to be within .04 of the true proportion (i.e., between .16 and .24)?

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 0.24 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 0.16.

X = 0.24

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}

Z = \frac{0.24 - 0.2}{0.02}

Z = 2

Z = 2 has a pvalue of 0.9772.

X = 0.16

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}

Z = \frac{0.16 - 0.2}{0.02}

Z = -2

Z = -2 has a pvalue of 0.0228.

0.9772 - 0.0228 = 0.9544

95.44% probability the resulting sample proportion is within .04 of the true proportion.

86 is 45% of what number
Alik [6]
Hello there! We are talking about 86 being part of a number, so we are looking for the whole. To find the number we are looking for, we can write and solve a proportion. Set it up like this:

86/x = 45/100

86 is 45% of a number. We know the part, so now we are looking for the whole. 45% is part of 100%, so we put that part together. Cross multiply the digits. 100 * 86 is 8,600. 45 * x is 45x. That simplifies to 8,600 = 45x. Now, divide each side by 45 to isolate the x. 45x/45 cancels out. 8,600/45 is 191.1111111 or 191 1/9 in fraction form. There. x = 191 1/9 86 is 45% or 191 1/9

Note: Or, if you have to round to the nearest whole number, the answer is 191, or if you have to round to the nearest tenth, the answer is 191.1. It all depends on if the answer needs to be rounded or exact.
