Answer:
0.007 = 0.7% probability that the proportion of Rolls Royce owners in a sample of 595 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 8% of Americans own a Rolls Royce.
This means that [tex]p = 0.08[/tex]
Sample of 595:
This means that [tex]n = 595[/tex]
Mean and standard deviation:
[tex]\mu = p = 0.08[/tex]
[tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}} = \sqrt{\frac{0.08*0.92}{595}} = 0.0111[/tex]
What is the probability that the proportion of Rolls Royce owners in a sample of 595 Americans would differ from the population proportion by more than 3%?
Proportion above 8% + 3% = 11% or below 8% - 3% = 5%. Since the normal distribution is symmetric, these probabilities are equal, and so we find one of them and multiply by 2.
Probability the proportion is less than 5%:
P-value of Z when X = 0.05. So
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
By the Central Limit Theorem
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{0.05 - 0.08}{0.0111}[/tex]
[tex]Z = -2.7[/tex]
[tex]Z = -2.7[/tex] has a p-value of 0.0035
2*0.0035 = 0.0070
0.007 = 0.7% probability that the proportion of Rolls Royce owners in a sample of 595 Americans would differ from the population proportion by more than 3%

if you continue adding on fractions according to this pattern, when will you reach a sum of 2?
Answer: You will never reach a sum of 2. You would need infinitely many terms to sum up.
============================================================
Explanation:
We have this sequence
1, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16, 1/32, 1/64, ...
which is geometric with the following properties
a = first term = 1r = common ratio = 1/2 = 0.5Notice how we multiply each term by 1/2 to get the next term. Eg: (1/4)*(1/2) = 1/8 or (1/16)*(1/2) = 1/32.
Since r = 0.5 is between -1 and 1, i.e. -1 < r < 1 is true, this means that adding infinite terms of this form will get us to approach some finite sum which we'll call S. This is because the new terms added on get smaller and smaller.
That infinite sum is
S = a/(1-r)
S = 1/(1-0.5)
S = 1/0.5
S = 2
So if we keep going with that pattern 1+1/2+1/4+... and do so forever, then we'll reach a sum of 2. However, we cannot go on forever since it's asking when we'll reach that specific sum. In other words, your teacher wants finitely many terms to be added.
In short, we'll never actually reach the sum 2 itself. We'll just get closer and closer.
Here's a list of partial sums
1+1/2 = 1.51+1/2+1/4 = 1.751+1/2+1/4+1/8 = 1.8751+1/2+1/4+1/8+1/16 = 1.93751+1/2+1/4+1/8+1/16+1/32 = 1.968751+1/2+1/4+1/8+1/16+1/32+1/64 = 1.9843751+1/2+1/4+1/8+1/16+1/32+1/64+1/128 = 1.99218751+1/2+1/4+1/8+1/16+1/32+1/64+1/128+1/256 = 1.99609375We can see that we're getting closer to 2, but we'll never actually get there. We'd need to add infinitely many terms to get to exactly 2.

Suppose the age that children learn to walk is normally distributed with mean 12 months and standard deviation 2.5 month. 34 randomly selected people were asked what age they learned to walk. Round all answers to 4 decimal places where possible.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
a.) it's just mean, variance
so here it's just 12,6.25
b.) For the x bar thing just divide the variance by the number of people (mean stay the same)
the variance is then (2.5²/34)= .1838
which makes it (12,.1838)
c.) here we don't use x bar (and so it's normal (12,2.5²))
p(11.6) = (11.6-12)/(2.5)= -.16 = .4364
p(12.4)= (12.4-12)/2.5 = .16= .5636
.5636-.4364= .1272
d.) here we use x bar because it's asking for an average so it's normal (12, .1838)
same deal
p(11.6)=(11.6-12)/√.1838= -.93295= .1762
p(12.4)= (12.4-12)/√.1838= .93295= .8238
.8238-.1762= .6476
d.) no because they're probably IID
f.) It's average so here we use x bar
q1 is just the 25th percentile
the 25th percentile is -.6745
-.6745=(x-12)/(√.1838)= 11.711
q3 is the 75th percentile
.6745=(x-12)/√.1838
x=12.289
The interquartile range is just the difference between the two
12.289-11.711= .5784

Joe bikes at the speed of 30 km/h from his home toward his work. If Joe's wife leaves home 5 mins later by car, how fast should she drive in order to overtake him in 10 minutes.
Answer:
Joe's wife must drive at a rate of 45km/hour.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that Joe leaves home and bikes at a speed of 30km/hour. Joe's wife leaves home five minutes later by car, and we want to determine her speed in order for her to catch up to Joe in 10 minutes.
Since Joe bikes at a speed of 30km/hour, he bikes at the equivalent rate of 0.5km/min.
Then after five minutes, when his wife leaves, Joe is 5(0.5) or 2.5 km from the house. He will still be traveling at a rate of 0.5km/min, so his distance from the house can be given by:
[tex]2.5+0.5t[/tex]
Where t represents the time in minutes after his wife left the house.
And since we want to catch up in 10 minutes, Joe's distance from the house 10 minutes after his wife left will be:
[tex]2.5+0.5(10)=7.5\text{ km}[/tex]
Let s represent the wife's speed in km/min. So, her speed times 10 minutes must total 7.5 km:
[tex]10s=7.5[/tex]
Solve for s:
[tex]\displaystye s=0.75\text{ km/min}[/tex]
Thus, Joe's wife must drive at a rate of 0.75km/min, or 45km/hour.
Which of the following proportions is true?
10/40 = 8/36
8/18 = 6/16
9/15 = 44/50
12/18 = 16/24
Answer:
D. 12/18 = 16/24
Step-by-step explanation:
The method we must go about to solve this is finding the constant. For A, we can solve it by doing 10 divided by 8 (which is 1.25) and then 40 divided by 1.25 to see if it is 36. Alternatively, we can do 10 divided by 8 and then 40 divided by 36 to see if the constant is the same. It's up to you!
My answers:
A. No (constant varies)
B. No (constant varies)
C. No (constant varies)
D. Yes! Constant is 0.75
How to solve for D:
12/16 = 0.75
18/0.75 = 24 OR 18/24 = 0.75
I hope this helps! Please don't hesitate to reach out with more questions!
Hello!
10/40 = 8/36 ?
10 × 36 = 40 × 8
360 = 40 × 8
360 ≠ 320 => 10/40 ≠ 8/36
8/18 = 6/16 ?
8 × 16 = 18 × 6
128 = 18 × 6
128 ≠ 108 => 8/18 ≠ 6/16
9/15 = 44/50 ?
9 × 50 = 15 × 44
450 = 15 × 44
450 ≠ 660 => 9/15 ≠ 44/50
12/18 = 16/24 ?
12 × 24 = 18 × 16
288 = 18 × 16
288 = 288 => 12/18 = 16/24
Good luck! :)
FastForward has net income of $19,090 and assets at the beginning of the year of $209,000. Its assets at the end of the year total $264,000. Compute its return on assets.
Given:
Net income = $19,090
Assets at the beginning of the year = $209,000.
Assets at the end of the year total = $264,000.
To find:
The return on assets.
Solution:
Formula used:
[tex]\text{Return of assets}=\dfrac{\text{Net income}}{\text{Average of assets at the beginning and at the end}}[/tex]
Using the above formula, we get
[tex]\text{Return of assets}=\dfrac{19090}{\dfrac{20900+264000}{2}}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Return of assets}=\dfrac{19090}{\dfrac{473000}{2}}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Return of assets}=\dfrac{19090}{236500}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Return of assets}\approx 0.0807[/tex]
The percentage form of 0.0807 is 8.07%.
Therefore, the return on assets is 8.07%.

Answer:
p(x) = x³ -3x²+4x -2
Step-by-step explanation:
When the polynomial has real coefficients, the complex roots come in conjugate pairs. You are given one root as 1+i, so there is another that is 1-i.
Each root r gives rise to a factor (x -r). Then the three roots tell you the factorization is ...
p(x) = (x -1)(x -(1+i))(x -(1-i))
The last two factors can be recognized as the factors of the difference of squares:
((x -1) +i)((x -1) -i) = (x -1)² -i²
= (x² -2x +1) -(-1) = x² -2x +2
Now the whole polynomial can be seen to be ...
p(x) = (x -1)(x² -2x +2) = x(x² -2x +2) -1(x² -2x +2)
p(x) = x³ -2x² +2x -x² +2x -2 . . . . eliminate parentheses
p(x) = x³ -3x²+4x -2

The number 55 is attached to a two-digit number to its left and the formed 4-digit number is divisible by 24. What could be the 2-digit number? List all options.
Given:
The number 55 is attached to a two-digit number to its left and the formed 4-digit number is divisible by 24.
To find:
The 2-digit numbers.
Solution:
Let the two digit number be [tex]ab[/tex]. Then the 4 digit number will be [tex]55ab[/tex].
We know that the number [tex]55ab[/tex] lies in the range 5500 to 5599.
Now,
[tex]5500=229\times 24+4[/tex]
It means, [tex]5500-4=5496[/tex] is divisible by 24. So, the numbers lie in the range 5500 to 5599 and divisible by 24 are:
[tex]5496+24=5520[/tex]
[tex]5520+24=5544[/tex]
[tex]5544+24=5568[/tex]
[tex]5568+24=5592[/tex]
Therefore, the possible 2-digit numbers are 20, 44, 68, 92.
15. Mark Twain one observed that the lower Mississippi River is very crooked and that over the years, as the bends and turns straighten out, the river gets shorter and shorter. Using numerical data about the length of the lower part of the river, he noticed that in the year 1700 the river was more than 1200 miles long, yet by the year 1875 it was only 973 miles long. Twain concluded that any person “can see that 742 years from now the lower Mississippi will be only a mile and three-quarters lone.” What is wrong with his inductive reasoning?
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
I'm sure he was making a joke at the expense of people who rely on mathematics rather than common sense. It is funny, but then Twain was a remarkably funny author..
The problem is that the comparison is apt using some sort of proportion, but it is absurd to think that the land holding the river would also shrink a proportional amount.
The river reached a minimum (presumably) in 1875 by cutting out all the loops that were there in 1700. The Mississippi was then a straight line from it's beginning to its delta on the gulf of Mexico. It could not get any shorter. Still, Twain managed to get laughs with his whimsical humor.
Thanks for posting. This made my evening.

Answer:
[tex]\text{Perimeter: }48\:\mathrm{m},\\\text{Area: }84\:\mathrm{m^2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of a triangle with side lengths [tex]a[/tex], [tex]b[/tex], and [tex]c[/tex] is given by:
[tex]A=\sqrt{s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)}[/tex], where [tex]s=\frac{a+b+c}{2}[/tex]
