Answer:

The correct Answer is 0.0571

Explanation:

53% of U.S. households have a PCs.

So, P(Having personal computer) = p = 0.53

Sample size(n) = 250

np(1-p) = 250 * 0.53 * (1 - 0.53) = 62.275 > 10

So, we can just estimate binomial distribution to normal distribution

Mean of proportion(p) = 0.53

Standard error of proportion(SE) =  \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n} } = \sqrt{\frac{0.53(1-0.53)}{250} } = 0.0316

For x = 120, sample proportion(p) = \frac{x}{n} = \frac{120}{250} = 0.48

So, likelihood that fewer than 120 have a PC

= P(x < 120)

= P(  p^​  < 0.48 )

= P(z < \frac{0.48-0.53}{0.0316}​)      (z=\frac{p^-p}{SE}​)  

= P(z < -1.58)

= 0.0571      ( From normal table )

Given a collection of n nuts and a collection of n bolts, arranged in an increasing order of size, give an O(n) time algorithm t
kari74 [83]

Answer:

See explaination

Explanation:

Keep two iterators, i (for nuts array) and j (for bolts array).

while(i < n and j < n) {

if nuts[i] == bolts[j] {

We have a case where sizes match, output/return

}

else if nuts[i] < bolts[j] {

this means that size of nut is smaller than that of bolt and we should go to the next bigger nut, i.e., i+=1

}

else {

this means that size of bolt is smaller than that of nut and we should go to the next bigger bolt, i.e., j+=1

}

}

Since we go to each index in both the array only once, the algorithm take O(n) time.

When resizing images or objects in a presentation, why should a user not utilize the sizing handles in the middle of the sides
Shalnov [3]

When resizing an image or an object in a presentation, a user should not utilize the sizing handles in the middle of the sides or the bottom of the image. There's nothing wrong with resizing this way.

There's nothing wrong with resizing this way

<u>Explanation:</u>

When the sizing handles in the middle of the sides are used, the image stretches out reflecting an increase in the width maintaining There's nothing wrong with resizing this way.

On the other hand, while using the sizing handles at the bottom, the image increases in height whilst maintaining the same width again disturbing the aspect ratio.
