One way of checking the effect of undercoverage, nonresponse, and other sources of error in a sample survey is to compare the sample with known facts about the population. About 12% of American adults identify themselves as black. Suppose we take an SRS of 1500 American adults and let X be the number of blacks in the sample. Use a Normal distribution to estimate the probability that the sample will contain between 165 and 195 blacks.

Answers

Answer 1

Solution :

Given :

p = 12% = 0.12

n = 15..

Mean is defined as the product of a sample size n and the probability p such that :

[tex]$\mu_X = np = 1500 \times 0.12$[/tex]

             = 180

Standard deviation may be defined as the square of a product of the sample size n, the probability p and the probability 1-p :

[tex]$\sigma_X = \sqrt{np(1-p)}$[/tex]

[tex]$\sigma_X = \sqrt{1500 \times 0.12 \times (1-0.12)}$[/tex]

     ≈  12.5857

The z-score is given by :

[tex]$z=\frac {x- \mu}{\sigma } $[/tex]

[tex]$z=\frac {165-180} {12.5857 }$[/tex]

 ≈  -1.19  

[tex]$z=\frac {x- \mu}{\sigma } $[/tex]

[tex]$z=\frac{195-180} {12.5857 }$[/tex]

 ≈  1.19  

Now determining the corresponding probability using table  :

P (165 ≤ X ≤ 195 ) = P (-1.19 ≤ Z ≤ 1.19 )

                            = 1-2 x P(Z < -1.19)

                            = 1-2 x 0.1170

                            = 1-0.2340

                            = 0.7660

                             = 76.60%

Answer 2
"76.06%" would be the probability that the sample will contain between 165 as well as 195 blacks.

Given values,

p = 12%

           = 0.12

n = 1500

The mean will be

→ [tex]\mu x = np[/tex]

By putting the values,

       [tex]= 1500\times 0.12[/tex]

       [tex]= 180[/tex]

The standard deviation will be:

→ [tex]\sigma x = \sqrt{np(1-p)}[/tex]

       [tex]= \sqrt{1500\times 0.12\times (1-0.12)}[/tex]

       [tex]= 12.5857[/tex]

The z-score will be:

→ [tex]z = \frac{x- \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

     [tex]= \frac{165-180}{12.5857}[/tex]

     [tex]= -1.19[/tex]

and,

→ [tex]z = \frac{195-180}{12.5857}[/tex]

     [tex]= 1.19[/tex]

hence,

The probability will be:

→ [tex]P(165 \leq X \leq 195) = P(-1.19 \leq Z \leq 1.19)[/tex]

                                [tex]= 1-2\times P(Z < -1.19)[/tex]

                                [tex]= 1-2\times 0.1170[/tex]

                                [tex]= 1-0.2340[/tex]

                                [tex]= 0.7660[/tex]

                                [tex]= 76.60[/tex] (%)

Thus the answer above is right.

x * 64/100 = 193

x * 64 = 193 * 100

1/8", 1/4", 3/8", 5/8", 3/4", 12"

Step-by-step explanation:

First, make all of the fractions have similar denominators. We'll use eighths.

1/4 = 2/8

3/4 = 6/8

The rest are either whole numbers or already have a denominator of 8.

2/8, 6/8, 12, 1/8, 3/8, 5/8.

Rearrange.

1/8, 2/8, 3/8, 5/8, 6/8, 12.

Now we take the fractions we converted, and change them back to their original form. Then we'll have the answer.

1/8, 1/4, 3/8, 5/8, 3/4, 12.

A) Create a confidence interval for the percentage of people to company contracts
who may buy something

Answers

Create a 90% confidence interval for the percentage of people the company contacts who may buy something.

Answer:

CI = (8.84%, 11.92%)

We are 90% Confident that the percentage of people the company contacts who may buy something is between 8.84% and 11.92%.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

n = 1060

x = 110

Confidence level = 90%

Sample proportion; p^ = x/n = 110/1060

p^ = 0.1038

DF = n - 1 = 1060 - 1 = 1059

From the table attached, the critical value for a confidence level of 90% at a DF greater than 1000 is 1.645

Formula for CI is;

CI = p^ ± t√(p^(1 - p^)/n)

CI = 0.1038 ± 1.645√(0.1038(1 - 0.1038)/1060)

CI = 0.1038 ± 0.0154

CI = (0.0884, 0.1192) or

CI = (8.84%, 11.92%)

Thus, we are 90% Confident that the percentage of people the company contacts who may buy something is between 8.84% and 11.92%.

what is an expression equivalent to (x4y3y)2 in the form xmyn.

Answers

Answer:

did you mean (x^4 y^3 y)2 or just (x4y3y)2

Sorry did you submitted it yet?

If the given expression is (x⁴y³y)², the expression equivalent to the given expression in form of xmyn is, x⁸y⁸.

What is an expression?

It is defined as the combination of constants and variables with mathematical operators.

It is given that the expression is,

(x⁴y³y)²

Keep the base constant and add the exponents when multiplying similar bases. Maintaining the same base while multiplying the exponents will raise a base with power to another power. When dividing two bases with similar exponents, keep the exponents of the numerator and denominator constant.

We have to represent the given expression in the form of [tex]\rm x^m y^n[/tex].

We use the expression identity as,

[tex]x^m \times x^n = x^{m+n}[/tex]

[tex]\rm = (x^m)^n \\\\ = x^{mn}[/tex]

=(x⁴y³y)²

First, solve the term present in the bracket as,

=(x⁴y⁴)²

Open the bracket we get,

=(x⁴)²(y⁴)²

=x⁸y⁸

Thus, if the given expression is (x⁴y³y)², the expression equivalent to the given expression in form of  [tex]\rm x^m y^n[/tex] is, x⁸y⁸.

7/18-2/9

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

7/18-2/9=7/18-4/18=3/18=1/6

Answer:

1/6.

Step-by-step explanation:

7/18−2/9=?

The fractions have unlike denominators. First, find the Least Common Denominator and rewrite the fractions with the common denominator.

LCD(7/18, 2/9) = 18

Multiply both the numerator and denominator of each fraction by the number that makes its denominator equal the LCD. This is basically multiplying each fraction by 1.

(7/18×11)−(2/9×22)=?

Complete the multiplication and the equation becomes

7/18−4/18=?

The two fractions now have like denominators so you can subtract the numerators.

Then:

7−4/18=3/18

This fraction can be reduced by dividing both the numerator and denominator by the Greatest Common Factor of 3 and 18 using

GCF(3,18) = 3

3÷3/18÷3=1/6

Therefore:

7/18−2/9=1/6
