A statistician calculates that 7% of Americans are vegetarians. If the statistician is correct, what is the probability that the proportion of vegetarians in a sample of 403 Americans would differ from the population proportion by more than 3%

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

0.0182 = 1.82% probability that the proportion of vegetarians in a sample of 403 Americans would differ from the population proportion by more than 3%.

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 normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score 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 p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem establishes 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]

A statistician calculates that 7% of Americans are vegetarians.

This means that [tex]p = 0.07[/tex]

Sample of 403 Americans

This means that [tex]n = 403[/tex]

Mean and standard deviation:

[tex]\mu = p = 0.07[/tex]

[tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}} = \sqrt{\frac{0.07*0.93}{403}} = 0.0127[/tex]

What is the probability that the proportion of vegetarians in a sample of 403 Americans would differ from the population proportion by more than 3%?

Proportion below 7 - 3 = 4% or above 7 + 3 = 10%. Since the normal distribution is symmetric, these probabilities are equal, which means that we find one of them, and multiply by 2.

Probability the proportion is below 4%

p-value of Z when X = 0.04.

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

[tex]Z = \frac{0.04 - 0.07}{0.0127}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -2.36[/tex]

[tex]Z = -2.36[/tex] has a p-value of 0.0091

2*0.0091 = 0.0182

0.0182 = 1.82% probability that the proportion of vegetarians in a sample of 403 Americans would differ from the population proportion by more than 3%.

An adult can lose or gain two pounds of water ina course of a day. Assume that the changes in water weight isuniformly distributed between minus two and plus two pounds in aday. What is the standard deviation of your weight over a day?

Answers

Answer:

The standard deviation of your weight over a day is of 1.1547 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Uniform probability distribution:

An uniform distribution has two bounds, a and b, and the standard deviation is:

[tex]S = \sqrt{\frac{(b-a)^2}{12}}[/tex]

Assume that the changes in water weight is uniformly distributed between minus two and plus two pounds in a day.

This means that [tex]a = -2, b = 2[/tex]

What is the standard deviation of your weight over a day?

[tex]S = \sqrt{\frac{(2 - (-2))^2}{12}} = \sqrt{\frac{4^2}{12}} = \sqrt{\frac{16}{12}} = 1.1547[/tex]

The standard deviation of your weight over a day is of 1.1547 pounds.

Which best describes the relationship between the lines with equations 2x – 9y = 1 and x + 8y = 6?
A. perpendicular
B. neither perpendicular nor parallel
C. parallel
D. same line

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  B. neither perpendicular nor parallel

Step-by-step explanation:

If the lines were perpendicular, the coefficients would be swapped and one negated. (You would have 8x -y = c, or 9x +2y = c in the system.)

If the lines were parallel, the coefficients in the two equations would only differ by a common factor. (Both equations would reduce to 2x -9y = c, or x +8y = c.)

The lines are not the same line (coefficients are different).

So, the only reasonable description is ...

the graph of the parabola y=3(x+5)2-2 has vertex (-5,-2). if this parabola is shifted 1 unit down and 6 units to the right, what is the equation of the new parabola?​

Answers

Answer:

y = 3(x-1)^2 -3

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 3(x+5)^2 - 2

vertex: (-5, -2)

1 unit down :

-2 - 1 = -3

6 units to the right:

3(x+5-6)^2 -2

3(x-1)^2 - 2

make what's in the parenthesis equal to 0:

(x-1)^2 = 0

x = 1

or

-5 + 6 = 1

new vertex : (1, -3)

equation : y = 3(x-1)^2 -3

Translation involves shifting of points from one position to another. The equation of the new parabola is: [tex]y = 3(x - 1)^2 - 3[/tex]

Given that:

[tex]y = 3(x + 5)^2 - 2[/tex]

[tex](h,k) = (-5,-2)[/tex] --- vertex

The general equation of a parabola is:

[tex]y = a(x - h)^2 + k[/tex]

By comparison:

[tex]a = 3\\ h = -5 \\ k= -2[/tex]

When the vertex is shifted 1 unit down, the rule is:

[tex](x,y) \to (x,y-1)[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex](x,y) \to (-5,-2-1)[/tex]

[tex](x,y) \to (-5,-3)[/tex]

When the vertex is shifted 6 unit right, the rule is:

[tex](x,y) \to (x + 6,y)[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex](h,k) \to (-5 + 6,-3)[/tex]

[tex](h,k) \to (1,-3)[/tex]

This means that:

[tex]h = 1\\ k =-3[/tex]

Recall that:

[tex]a =3[/tex]

Substitute these values in:

[tex]y = a(x - h)^2 + k[/tex]

[tex]y = 3(x - 1)^2 - 3[/tex]

Hence, the equation of the new parabola is: [tex]y = 3(x - 1)^2 - 3[/tex]

f(x) = 4x + 3

g(x) = 22 – 3

g(x) = 19

the x in parentheses represents x's value. if it is just x then example f(x)=3x would be 3x. if f(x) was f(2)=3x, then x would be 2 and f(2)=3x would be 3*2=6

g(x) = 19

g(4)=19     because there are no x

f(19) = 4x + 3

all x become 19

f(19) = 4(19) + 3

1) A 22-ft ladder is leaning against a building. If the base of the ladder is 6 ft from the base of the building, what is the angle of elevation of the ladder? (Round your answer to one decimal place.)
2)How high does the ladder reach on the building? (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)

Answers

Answer:

21.9 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

Part A)

About 74.2°.

Part B)

About 21 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

A 22 feet ladder is leaning against a building, where the base of the ladder is six feet from the base of the building.

This is shown in the diagram below (not to scale).

Part A)

We want to determine the angle of elevation of the ladder. That is, we want to find the value of θ.

Since we know the values adjacent to θ and the hypotenuse, we can use the cosine ratio. Recall that:

[tex]\displaystyle \cos \theta = \frac{\text{adjacent}}{\text{hypotenuse}}[/tex]

The adjacent is 6 and the hypotenuse is 22. Thus:

[tex]\displaystyle \cos \theta = \frac{6}{22} = \frac{3}{11}[/tex]

Take the inverse cosine of both sides:

[tex]\displaystyle \theta = \cos^{-1}\frac{3}{11}[/tex]

Use a calculator. Hence:

[tex]\displaystyle \theta = 74.1733...\approx 74.2^\circ[/tex]

The angle of elevation is approximately 74.2°

Part B)

We want to find how high up the ladder reaches on the building. In other words, we want to find x.

Since x is opposite to θ and we know the adjacent side, we can use the tangent ratio. Recall that:

[tex]\displaystyle \tan \theta = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{adjacent}}[/tex]

The opposite side is x and the adjacent side is 6. The angle θ is cos⁻¹(3/11) (we use the exact form to prevent rounding errors). Thus:

[tex]\displaystyle \tan \left(\cos^{-1}\frac{3}{11}\right) = \frac{x}{6}[/tex]

Solve for x:

[tex]\displaystyle x = 6 \tan \left(\cos^{-1}\frac{3}{11}\right)[/tex]

Use a calculator. Hence:

[tex]x = 21.1660... \approx 21\text{ feet}[/tex]

The ladder reaches about 21 feet up the building.
