Suppose that 70% of all voters prefer Candidate A. If 4 people are chosen at random for a poll, what is the probability that exactly 1 of them favor Candidate A?

Answer:  [tex]8\sqrt{2}[/tex]

==========================================================

Work Shown:

Focus entirely on triangle ABD (or on triangle BCD; both are identical)

The two legs of this triangle are AB = 8 and AD = 8. The hypotenuse is unknown, so we'll say BD = x.

Apply the pythagorean theorem.

[tex]a^2 + b^2 = c^2\\\\c = \sqrt{a^2 + b^2}\\\\x = \sqrt{8^2 + 8^2}\\\\x = \sqrt{2*8^2}\\\\x = \sqrt{8^2*2}\\\\x = \sqrt{8^2}*\sqrt{2}\\\\x = 8\sqrt{2}\\\\[/tex]

So that's why the diagonal BD is exactly [tex]8\sqrt{2}\\\\[/tex] units long

Answer:

a) The 95% confidence interval for the mean waste recycled per person per day for the population of Maine is between 1.19 and 1.61 pounds.

b) [tex]T_c = 2.4469[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the standard deviation for the sample, which means that the t-distribution is used to solve this question.

The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So

df = 7 - 1 = 6

95% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 6 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of [tex]1 - \frac{1 - 0.95}{2} = 0.975[/tex]. So we have T = 2.4469, and the answer to question b is [tex]T_c = 2.4469[/tex]

The margin of error is:

[tex]M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 2.4469\frac{0.23}{\sqrt{7}} = 0.21[/tex]

In which s is the standard deviation of the sample and n is the size of the sample.

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 1.4 - 0.21 = 1.19 pounds.

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 1.4 + 0.21 = 1.61 pounds.

The 95% confidence interval for the mean waste recycled per person per day for the population of Maine is between 1.19 and 1.61 pounds.

Answer:

a) 0.5768 = 57.68% probability that the shop sells at least 3 in a week.

b) 0.988 = 98.8% probability that the shop sells at most 7 in a week.

c) 0.0104 = 1.04% probability that the shop sells more than 20 in a month.

Step-by-step explanation:

For questions a and b, the Poisson distribution is used, while for question c, the normal approximation is used.

Poisson distribution:

In a Poisson distribution, the probability that X represents the number of successes of a random variable is given by the following formula:

[tex]P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\lambda}*\lambda^{x}}{(x)!}[/tex]

In which

x is the number of successes

e = 2.71828 is the Euler number

[tex]\lambda[/tex] is the mean in the given interval.

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.

The Poisson distribution can be approximated to the normal with [tex]\mu = \lambda, \sigma = \sqrt{\lambda}[/tex], if [tex]\lambda>10[/tex].

Poisson variable with the mean 3

This means that [tex]\lambda= 3[/tex].

(a) At least 3 in a week.

This is [tex]P(X \geq 3)[/tex]. So

[tex]P(X \geq 3) = 1 - P(X < 3)[/tex]

In which:

[tex]P(X < 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2)[/tex]

Then

[tex]P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\lambda}*\lambda^{x}}{(x)!}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-3}*3^{0}}{(0)!} = 0.0498[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 1) = \frac{e^{-3}*3^{1}}{(1)!} = 0.1494[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 2) = \frac{e^{-3}*3^{2}}{(2)!} = 0.2240[/tex]

So

[tex]P(X < 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) = 0.0498 + 0.1494 + 0.2240 = 0.4232[/tex]

[tex]P(X < 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) = 1 - 0.4232 = 0.5768[/tex]

0.5768 = 57.68% probability that the shop sells at least 3 in a week.

(b) At most 7 in a week.

This is:

[tex]P(X \leq 7) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 6) + P(X = 7)[/tex]

In which

[tex]P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\lambda}*\lambda^{x}}{(x)!}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-3}*3^{0}}{(0)!} = 0.0498[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 1) = \frac{e^{-3}*3^{1}}{(1)!} = 0.1494[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 2) = \frac{e^{-3}*3^{2}}{(2)!} = 0.2240[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 3) = \frac{e^{-3}*3^{3}}{(3)!} = 0.2240[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 4) = \frac{e^{-3}*3^{4}}{(4)!} = 0.1680[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 5) = \frac{e^{-3}*3^{5}}{(5)!} = 0.1008[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 6) = \frac{e^{-3}*3^{6}}{(6)!} = 0.0504[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 7) = \frac{e^{-3}*3^{7}}{(7)!} = 0.0216[/tex]

Then

[tex]P(X \leq 7) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 6) + P(X = 7) = 0.0498 + 0.1494 + 0.2240 + 0.2240 + 0.1680 + 0.1008 + 0.0504 + 0.0216 = 0.988[/tex]

0.988 = 98.8% probability that the shop sells at most 7 in a week.

(c) More than 20 in a month (4 weeks).

4 weeks, so:

[tex]\mu = \lambda = 4(3) = 12[/tex]

[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{\lambda} = \sqrt{12}[/tex]

The probability, using continuity correction, is P(X > 20 + 0.5) = P(X > 20.5), which is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 20.5.

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

[tex]Z = \frac{20 - 12}{\sqrt{12}}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 2.31[/tex]

[tex]Z = 2.31[/tex] has a p-value of 0.9896.

1 - 0.9896 = 0.0104

0.0104 = 1.04% probability that the shop sells more than 20 in a month.

The probability of the selling the video recorders for considered cases are:

Let X ~ Pois(λ)

Then we have:

E(X) = λ = Var(X)

Since standard deviation is square root (positive) of variance,

Thus,

Standard deviation of X = [tex]\sqrt{\lambda}[/tex]

Its probability function is given by

f(k; λ) = Pr(X = k) = [tex]\dfrac{\lambda^{k}e^{-\lambda}}{k!}[/tex]

For this case, let we have:

X = the number of weekly demand of video recorder for the considered shop.

Then, by the given data, we have:

X ~ Pois(λ=3)

Evaluating each event's probability:

Case 1: At least 3 in a week.

[tex]P(X > 3) = 1- P(X \leq 2) = \sum_{i=0}^{2}P(X=i) = \sum_{i=0}^{2} \dfrac{3^ie^{-3}}{i!}\\\\P(X > 3) = 1 - e^{-3} \times \left( 1 + 3 + 9/2\right) \approx 1 - 0.4232 = 0.5768[/tex]

Case 2: At most 7 in a week.

[tex]P(X \leq 7) = \sum_{i=0}^{7}P(X=i) = \sum_{i=0}^{7} \dfrac{3^ie^{-3}}{i!}\\\\P(X \leq 7) = e^{-3} \times \left( 1 + 3 + 9/2 + 27/6 + 81/24 + 243/120 + 729/720 + 2187/5040\right)\\\\P(X \leq 7) \approx 0.9881[/tex]

Case 3: More than 20 in a month(4 weeks)

That means more than 5 in a week on average.

[tex]P(X > 5) = 1- P(X \leq 5) =\sum_{i=0}^{5}P(X=i) = \sum_{i=0}^{5} \dfrac{3^ie^{-3}}{i!}\\\\P(X > 5) = 1- e^{-3}( 1 + 3 + 9/2 + 27/6 + 81/24 + 243/120)\\\\P(X > 5) \approx 1 - 0.9161 \\ P(X > 5) \approx 0.0839[/tex]

Thus, the probability of the selling the video recorders for considered cases are:

Answer:

Median

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the median to measure central tendency, rather than the mean, is better for a skewed data set.

Since a skewed data set will have either very high or low extreme data points, the mean will be less representative and accurate when measuring central tendency.

Using the median will measure this better because it is not as vulnerable as the mean when there are extreme data points.

So, the answer is the median.

Answer From Gauth Math

Answer:

The last one

Step-by-step explanation:

What we know:

We have a total of 16 coins

The 16 coins consist of dimes and quarters

The value of the coins is 3.10

The value of a dime is .10

The value of a quarter is .25

Using this information we can create a system of linear equations

First off we know that we have a total of 16 coins which consist of dimes and quarters

The number of Quarters can be represented by q and then number of dimes can be represented by d.

If we have a total of 16 coins then q + d must equal 16

So equation 1 is q + d = 16

Now we need to create a second equation

We know that the total value of the coins is 3.10 and we know that the coins consist of dimes and quarters

As you may know a quarter has a value of .25 cents and a dime has a value of 10 cents

If the total value of the coins is 3.10 the the number of dimes (d) times .10 + the number of Quarters times .25 must equal 3.10

This can also be written as

.25q + .10d = 3.10

So the two equations are

q + d = 16 and .25q + .10d = 3.10

These equations are shown in the last answer choice

Note: b is very similar to d

However the the value of the coins are incorrect in B

In B the value of the dime is represented by 10 which is not correct because the value of a dime is .10 not 10

With some rewriting, you get

[tex]\displaystyle \sum_{k=0}^\infty (-1)^k\frac{x^{k+2}}{4^k} = x^2 \sum_{k=0}^\infty \left(-\frac x4\right)^k[/tex]

Recall that for |x| < 1, you have

[tex]\displaystyle \frac1{1-x} = \sum_{k=0}^\infty x^k[/tex]

So as long as |-x/4| = |x/4| < 1, or |x| < 4, your series converges to

[tex]\displaystyle x^2 \sum_{k=0}^\infty \left(-\frac x4\right)^k = \frac{x^2}{1-\left(-\frac x4\right)} = \frac{x^2}{1+\frac x4} = \boxed{\frac{4x^2}{4+x}}[/tex]

Taylor series are polynomic approximations used to estimate values both from trascendental and non-trascendental functions. It is commonly used in trigonometric, potential, logarithmic and even rational functions.

In this question we must use series properties and common Taylor series-derived formulas to infer the expression behind the given series. Now we proceed to find the expression:

Step-by-step explanation:

sqrt (2x-3) = sqrt (3x-9)

Square each side

(sqrt (2x-3))^2 = (sqrt (3x-9))^2

2x-3 = 3x-9

Subtract 2x from each side

2x-3-2x = 3x-2x-9

-3 = x-9

Add 9 to each side

-3+9 = x-9+9

6 =x

Check solution

sqrt (2*6-3) = sqrt (3*6-9)

sqrt (9) = sqrt (9)

3=3

Solution is valid

sqrt (2x-3) = sqrt (3x-9)

Square each side

(sqrt (2x-3))^2 = (sqrt (3x-9))^2

2x-3 = 3x-9

Subtract 2x from each side

2x-3-2x = 3x-2x-9

-3 = x-9

Add 9 to each side

-3+9 = x-9+9

6 =x

sqrt (2*6-3) = sqrt (3*6-9)

sqrt (9) = sqrt (9)

3=3

Therefore ans x = 6

(x - 4)/-5 or (-x + 4)/5

Step-by-step explanation:

this is an inverse function, and to solve an inverse function you would :

swap x and g(x) without bringing the x coefficient with it, just simply swap the variables. Then, solve for g(x), and that's it

the first question's answer is :

g(x) = 3x + 2

x = 3(g(x)) + 2

x - 2 = 3(g(x))

(x - 2)/3 = g(x)

the second one is:

g(x) = 4 - 5x

x = 4 - 5(g(x))

x - 4 = -5(g(x))

(x-4)/-5 = g(x)

g(x) = 3x + 2

y = 3x + 2

x = 3y + 2

3y = x - 2

y = x/3 - 2/3

inverse g(x) = (x - 2) / 3

g(x) = 4 - 5x

y = 4 - 5x

x = 4 - 5y

5y = 4 - x

y = 4/5 - x/5

inverse g(x) = (4 - x) / 5

[tex]\frac{4}{52} \times \frac{4}{51} = \frac{16}{2652} = 0.00603 = 0.603\%[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 52 cards in a standard deck, and there are 4 suits for each card. Therefore there are 4 twos and 4 tens.

At first we have 52 cards to choose from, and we need to get 1 of the 4 twos, therefore the probability is just

[tex]\frac{4}{52}[/tex]

After we've chosen a two, we need to choose one of the 4 tens. But remember that we're now choosing out of a deck of just 51 cards, since one card was removed. Therefore the probability is

[tex]\frac{4}{51}[/tex]

Now to get the total probability we need to multiply the two probabilities together

[tex]\frac{4}{52} \times \frac{4}{51} = \frac{16}{2652} = 0.00603 = 0.603\%[/tex]

Answer:

Z = 1

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.

Mean (mu) that equals 100 with a standard deviation (sigma) of 18

[tex]\mu = 100, \sigma = 18[/tex]

Sample of 9:

This means that [tex]n = 9, s = \frac{18}{\sqrt{9}} = 6[/tex]

What will be the computed z-score with a sample mean (x-bar) of 106?

This is Z when X = 106. So

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

[tex]Z = \frac{106 - 100}{6}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1[/tex]

So Z = 1 is the answer.
