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%.

Based on a sample survey, a company claims that 86% of their customers are satisfied with their products. Out of 1,100 customers, how many would you predict to be satisfied?

Answers

Answer:

946 people

Step-by-step explanation:

Find how many you would predict to be satisfied by multiplying 1,100 by 0.86:

1,100(0.86)

= 946

So, you could expect 946 people to be satisfied

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

We're told that Ty wants to isolate x in one of the equations. To do so in either, he will need to use inverse operations to cancel out values and leave just x remaining on one side of the equation.

In the second equation, he would need to subtract both sides by 6y and then divide both sides by 4 to isolate x. It's a two-step process.

However, in the first equation, he only needs to add 2y to both sides to isolate x.

I hope this helps!

Answer:

using the first equation

cause Being that the first equation has the simplest coefficients (1, -2, for x, and y respectively), it seems logical to use it to develop a definition of one variable in terms of the other

The total size of the data = 54

The value 61.0 occurs in position ; 27th, 28th and 29th

Taking the position average :

(27+28+29)/3 = 84/3 = 28th position

This means the percentile score of 61 is :

(Position average / total size) * 100%

(28/54) * 100%

0.5185185 * 100%

= 51.85%

This means that 61 inch length falls in the 52nd percentile

Let's convert this into inches

4 ft 9 = 57 in

6 ft 4= 76

so we're looking for

57<x<76

which is equal to

p(76)-p(57)

let's start by p(76)

(76-62.3)/2.3= 5.946521 which on a ztable is equal to 1

p(57)=

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

17 cans$2,971.40

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume ...

the 25' dimension is the wall heightthe HST rate is 15% (the paint is not purchased in Ontario)only full cans of paint can be purchased

The wall area is the wall height times the perimeter of the room.

  wall area = (25')(2(100' +65')) = 8250 ft²

The ceiling area is the product of length and width.

  ceiling area = (100')(65') = 6500 ft²

Then the area to be painted with each coat is ...

  painted area = wall area + ceiling area = (8250 +6500) ft² = 14750 ft²

Then two coats of paint will require sufficient paint to cover ...

  (2 coats)×(14750 ft²/coat) = 29,500 ft²

__

If each can of paint covers 1750 ft², the number of cans required is ...

  (29,500 ft²)/(1750 ft²/can) = 16.86 cans

  17 cans must be purchased

__

The cost of 17 cans of paint with sales tax will be ...

  (17 cans)($151.99/can)(1 +15%) = $2971.40
