In a congressional district, 55% of the registered voters are Democrats. Which of the following is closest to the probability of getting less than 50% Democrats in a random sample of size 100?
Is this an example of a sample proportion OR a sample mean?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

sample mean

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Using the normal distribution and the central limit theorem, considering that this is a sample proportion, as we are dealing with percentages, it is found that there is a 0.1562 = 15.62% probability of getting less than 50% Democrats in a random sample of size 100.

Normal Probability Distribution

In a normal distribution 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]

It 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, which is the percentile of X. By the Central Limit Theorem, the sampling distribution of sample proportions of a proportion p in a sample of size n has mean [tex]\mu = p[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1 - p)}{n}}[/tex].

In this problem:

55% of the registered voters are Democrats, hence [tex]p = 0.55[/tex].A sample of size 100 is taken, hence [tex]n = 100[/tex]

The mean and the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of sample proportions are given by:

[tex]\mu = p = 0.55[/tex]

[tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1 - p)}{n}} = \sqrt{\frac{0.55(0.45)}{100}} = 0.04975[/tex]

The probability of getting less than 50% Democrats in a random sample of size 100 is the p-value of Z when X = 0.5, hence:

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

[tex]Z = \frac{0.5 - 0.55}{0.04975}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -1.01[/tex]

[tex]Z = -1.01[/tex] has a p-value of 0.1562.

0.1562 = 15.62% probability of getting less than 50% Democrats in a random sample of size 100.

Ashin has been working in UAE for a decade and saved AED 125,500 which he wants to transfer now to his parent's account in India. Keeping in mind the AED – INR exchange rate for the day, which is AED 1 = 20 (approx.), find the amount of money which Arshad's parents will withdraw in India.

Answers

Answer:

2510000 INR

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Savings = AED 125500[/tex]

[tex]1\ AED =20\ INR[/tex]

Required

The amount that will be withdrawn in India

We have:

[tex]1\ AED =20\ INR[/tex]

Multiply both sides by the savings

[tex]125500 * 1\ AED =20\ INR * 125500[/tex]

[tex]125500\ AED =125500 * 20\ INR[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]125500\ AED =2510000\ INR[/tex]

Hence, the amount that will b withdrawn is: 2510000 INR

Answers

Answer:

s = 17 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a parallelogram, it has two sets of equal sides. We are given that one of the sides is 19 and the perimeter is 72. Therefore, \

72 = 2*s + 2*19

72 = 2*s + 38

34 = 2*s

s = 17

Answer:

17

Step-by-step explanation:

19 + 19 = 38

38 divided by 2 = 17

Add the given length to itself again because the other side is equal.

Which would be 38. Divide by 2 since there are two missing lengths that need to be solved (s). And your final answer is 17!

From the question we are told that:

Co_ordinates of rectangle:

[tex]A(4, 7),\\ B(4, 15),\\C(9, 15),\\D(9,7).[/tex]  

Generally the equation for rectangular Perimeter X is is mathematically given by

[tex]X=2(length+breath)\\X=2L+2B[/tex]

Generally the Length of the rectangle is mathematically given by

[tex]L=(y\ axis\ co-ordinate\ of\ C)-(y\ axis\ co-ordinate\ of\ D)\\or\\L=(y\ axis\ co-ordinate\ of\ B)-(y\ axis\ co-ordinate\ of\ A)[/tex]

Therefore

[tex]L=15-7\\L=8[/tex]

Generally the Breath of the rectangle is mathematically given by

[tex]B=(x\ axis\ co-ordinate\ of\ D)-(x\ axis\ co-ordinate\ of\ A)\\or\\B=(y\ axis\ co-ordinate\ of\ C)-(y\ axis\ co-ordinate\ of\ B)[/tex]

Therefore

[tex]B=9-4\\B=5[/tex]

Generally the rectangular Perimeter X is is mathematically given by

[tex]X=2(8)+2(5[/tex]

[tex]X=26[/tex]

Round
your answer to the nearest tenth if necessary. Figures are not drawn to scale.

Answers

Answer:

The measure of the side [tex]QR[/tex] is 8.8.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since [tex]LMNO \sim PQRS[/tex], then [tex]SP \propto OL[/tex], [tex]RS \propto ON[/tex], [tex]RQ \propto MN[/tex] and [tex]QP \propto LM[/tex]. From figure we have the following relationship:

[tex]k = \frac{OL}{SP} = \frac{ON}{RS} = \frac{MN}{QR} = \frac{ML}{QP}[/tex] (1)

Where [tex]k[/tex] is the proportionality ratio.

If we know that [tex]SP = 13, OL = 55, MN = 37[/tex], then the measure of side [tex]QR[/tex] is:

[tex]k = \frac{OL}{SP}[/tex] (1b)

[tex]k = \frac{55}{13}[/tex]

[tex]k = \frac{MN}{QR}[/tex]

[tex]QR = \frac{MN}{k}[/tex] (1c)

[tex]QR = \frac{37}{\frac{55}{13} }[/tex]

[tex]QR = 8.745[/tex]

The measure of the side [tex]QR[/tex] is 8.8.

Solve (x - 3)^2+7=97, where X is a real number. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.​

Answers

Answer:

x ≈ - 6.49, x ≈ 12.49

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

(x - 3)² + 7 = 97 ( subtract 7 from both sides )

(x - 3)² = 90 ( take the square root of both sides )

x - 3 = ± [tex]\sqrt{90}[/tex] ( add 3 to both sides )

x = 3 ± [tex]\sqrt{90}[/tex]

Then

x = 3 - [tex]\sqrt{90}[/tex] ≈ - 6.49 ( to the nearest hundredth )

x = 3 + [tex]\sqrt{90}[/tex] ≈ 12.49 ( to the nearest hundredth )
