The Tennessean, an online newspaper located in Nashville, Tennessee, conducts a daily poll to obtain reader opinions on a variety of current issues. In a recent poll, readers responded to the following question: "If a constitutional amendment to ban a state income tax is placed on the ballot in Tennessee, would you want it to pass? Possible responses are yes or no,or not sure.

Required:
a. What was the sample size for this poll?
b. Are the data categorical or quantitative?
c. Would it make more sense to use averages or percentages as a summary of the data for this question?
d. Of the respondents, 67% said Yes, they would want it to pass. How many individuals provided this response?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a. The sample size for the poll would be at most 10% of the total readers of the tennessean.

b. Categorical data...data collected in groups or categories.

c. Yes it would make more sense to use percentages as this gives a better estimate for proportion.

d. The number of individual that provided this response is 67% of the sample size (which is at most 10% of the total population of readers of the online newspaper).

Step-by-step explanation:

The first digit in any number must be 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9 because we do not write numbers such as 15 as 015. While it is reasonable to think that for most real-life data each digit occurs with equal frequency so that each digit 1, 2, ..., 9 has probability 1/9 of being the first digit, this is not true. It is a surprising phenomenon that in many naturally occurring numbers and web-based data the first digit has a probability distribution known as Benford's law.
Benford's law, also called the first-digit law, states that in lists of numbers from many (but not all) real-life sources of data, the leading digit is distributed in a specific, non-uniform way.
Specifically, for d = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, Benford's law states P(first digit is d) = log_10(1+(1/d)) . The distribution of the first digit according to Benford's law, calculated to 3 decimal places, is shown in the table below.
Benford's law
First Digit X 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
Probability .301 .176 .125 .097 .079 .067 .058 .051 .046
Benford's Law and the Equally Likely Model benford equally likely
The law is named after physicist Frank Benford, who stated it in 1938, although it had been previously stated by Simon Newcomb in 1881. A surprising variety of data from the natural sciences, social affairs, and business obeys Benford's law.
This result has been found to apply to a wide variety of data sets, including electricity bills, street addresses, stock prices, population numbers, death rates, lengths of rivers, physical and mathematical constants, and processes described by power laws (which are very common in nature).
Numbers that are assigned, such as social security numbers and zip codes, or data with a fixed maximum, such as deductible contributions to individual retirement accounts, or randomly generated numbers, do not follow Benford's law.
The figure below shows how the distribution of the first digit of various naturally occurring and web-based data compares with Benford's law.

What is the equation of the line that passes through (5, -2) and (-3, 4)?

Answers

Answer:

y = (-3/4)x + 7/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define general form of equation of line

An equation of a straight line on two-dimensional plane could be represented in form of: y = Mx + b, with M is slope and b is y-intercept

Step 2: Set up the system to solve for parameters of equation of line

(solve for M and b)

That equation passes 2 points, which are represented in form of (x, y), (5, -2) and (-3, 4).

Substitute these values of x and y into the original equation in step 1:

-2 = 5M + b

4 = -3M + b

Step 3: Solve the system of equations in step 2 for M and b

Subtract 1st equation from 2nd equation:

     6 = -8M

=> M = -6/8 = -3/4

Substitute M back into 1st equation:

=> -2 = 5*(-3/4) + b

=>  b = -2 + 15/4

=>  b = 7/4

=>  The equation of the line that passes through (5, -2) and (-3, 4):

      y = (-3/4)x + 7/4

Hope this helps!

Answer:

Y= -4/3(x-7/2)

Step-by-step explanation:

So first calculate the difference between them,

changes by 8 x units, and -6 y units.

Then substitute them into y/x to find gradient

-6/8 = -4/3

so now we have a part of the equation:

Y= -4/3(x-a)

substitute Y= -2 and x=5 (from (5,-2))

-2= -4/3(5-a)

-2= -20/3+4a/3

Multiply by 3 on both sides

-6= -20+4a

add 20 on both sides

14=4a

a=7/2

use this as the value of a

Y= -4/3(x-7/2)

2. The width of a rectangle is 12 inches less than its length. The perimeter of the rect-

Answers

Answer:

[tex] P= 2*Lenght + 2*Width[/tex]

Since the perimeter is 56 inches we can solve for the lenght with this equation:

[tex] 56 in = 2*12in + 2*Length[/tex]

And solving for the length we got:

[tex] Length = \frac{56in -24 in}{2} 16 in[/tex]

So then the lenght = 16 inhes and the width of 12 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

For a rectangle of width 12 inches and lenght y inches we know that the perimeter is given by:

[tex] P= 2*Lenght + 2*Width[/tex]

Since the perimeter is 56 inches we can solve for the lenght with this equation:

[tex] 56 in = 2*12in + 2*Length[/tex]

And solving for the length we got:

[tex] Length = \frac{56in -24 in}{2} 16 in[/tex]

So then the lenght = 16 inhes and the width of 12 inches

Give your answer correct to 3 significant figures.​

Answers

Answer:

  19.8 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle B is the complement of angle A, so we have this relation for the angles:

  B/A = 3/2 = (90°-A)/A

  2(90° -A) = 3A . . . . . cross multiply

  180° = 5A . . . . . . . . . eliminate parentheses, add 2A

  36° = A . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 5

The relations expressed by the mnemonic SOH CAH TOA remind you that ...

  Cos = Adjacent/Hypotenuse

  cos(A) = AC/AB

  AB = AC/cos(A) = (16 cm)/cos(36°)

  AB ≈ 19.8 cm

A recent survey found that 86% of employees plan to devote at least some work time to follow games during the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament. A random sample of 100 employees was selected. What is the probability that less than 80% of this sample will devote work time to follow games?

Answers

Answer:

4.18% probability that less than 80% of this sample will devote work time to follow games

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal probability distribution

When the distribution is normal, we use the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the zscore of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

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 [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].

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

For a proportion p in a sample of size n, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion will be approximately normal with mean [tex]\mu = p[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}[/tex]

In this question, we have that:

[tex]p = 0.86, n = 100[/tex]

So

[tex]\mu = 0.86, s = \sqrt{\frac{0.86*0.14}{100}} = 0.0347[/tex]

What is the probability that less than 80% of this sample will devote work time to follow games?

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 0.8. So

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

By the Central Limit Theorem

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{0.8 - 0.86}{0.0347}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -1.73[/tex]

[tex]Z = -1.73[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.0418

4.18% probability that less than 80% of this sample will devote work time to follow games

Step-by-step explanation:

The exponential function for growth/decay is given as:

[tex]P(t)=P_0(1 \pm r)^t, where:\\P_0$ is the Initial Population\\r is the growth/decay rate\\t is time[/tex]

In this problem:

The city's initial population is 120,000 and it decreases by 1.4% per year.

Since the population decreases, it is a Decay Problem.Decay rate, r=1.4% =0.014Initial Amount =120,000

Therefore, the function is:

[tex]P(t)=120000(1 - 0.014)^t\\P(t)=120000(0.986)^t[/tex]
