A Gallup Poll showed that 30% of Americans are satisfied with the way things are going in the United States. Suppose a sample of

20 Americans is selected as part of a study of the state of the nation. For the sample of 20 Americans, compute the expected number of Americans who are satisfied with the way things are going in the United States. For the sample of 20 Americans, compute the standard deviation of the number of Americans who are satisfied with the way things are going in the United States.

The expected number of a distribution is its mean.

  • The expected number of Americans who are satisfied with the way things are going in the United States is 6
  • The standard deviation of Americans who are satisfied with the way things are going in the United States is 2.05

The given parameters are:

<em />\mathbf{p = 30\%}<em> --- the proportion that are satisfied</em>

<em />\mathbf{n = 20}<em> --- the sample size</em>

<em />

<u>(a) The expected number that are satisfied</u>

This is calculated using:

\mathbf{E(x) = np}

So, we have:

\mathbf{E(x) = 20 \times 30\%}

\mathbf{E(x) = 6}

The expected number of Americans who are satisfied with the way things are going in the United States is 6

<u>(b) The standard deviation of those that are satisfied</u>

This is calculated using:

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

So, we have:

\mathbf{\sigma = \sqrt{20 \times 30\% \times (1 - 30\%)}}

\mathbf{\sigma = \sqrt{20 \times 30\% \times 70\%}}

\mathbf{\sigma = \sqrt{4.2}}

\mathbf{\sigma = 2.05}

The standard deviation of Americans who are satisfied with the way things are going in the United States is 2.05

Solve the inequality 171&gt;-6x and graph the solution what does the graph look like
krok68 [10]

To solve the inequality, you need to isolate/get x by itself:

171 > -6x    Divide -6 on both sides [dividing/multiplying a negative number on

-28.5 < x      [dividing/multiplying a negative number in an inequality causes the sign (<, >, ≤, ≥) to flip]

-28.5 < x    [x is a number greater than -28.5]

So your graph should have an open circle at -28.5 (the first small line next to -28), and the arrow pointing to the right since x is greater than -28.5 (increasing)      The 1st option is your answer

[use the o---> and put it at -28.5]
