A university considers giving only pass/fail grades to freshmen to reduce competition and stress. The student newspaper interviews faculty members and reports their opinions of the proposed policy. Suppose that 70% of the faculty favor the pass/fail proposal. Assuming 50 faculty members are interviewed. The goal is to find the probability that a majority (26 or more) will favor the proposal.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

0.9983 = 99.83% probability that a majority will favor the proposal.

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the normal approximation to the binomial to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

Can be approximated to a normal distribution, using the expected value and the standard deviation.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

[tex]E(X) = np[/tex]

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

[tex]\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}[/tex]

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

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

When we are approximating a binomial distribution to a normal one, we have that [tex]\mu = E(X)[/tex], [tex]\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)}[/tex].

Suppose that 70% of the faculty favor the pass/fail proposal. Assuming 50 faculty members are interviewed.

This means, respectively, that [tex]p = 0.7, n = 50[/tex]

Mean and standard deviation:

[tex]\mu = E(X) = np = 50*0.7 = 35[/tex]

[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{50*0.7*0.3} = 3.24[/tex]

Probability that a majority (26 or more) will favor the proposal.

Using continuity correction, this is [tex]P(X \geq 26 - 0.5) = P(X \geq 25.5)[/tex], which is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 25.5. So

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

[tex]Z = \frac{25.5 - 35}{3.24}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -2.93[/tex]

[tex]Z = -2.93[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.0017

1 - 0.0017 = 0.9983

0.9983 = 99.83% probability that a majority will favor the proposal.

Which shows how to solve the equation 3/4 X=-6 for x in one step?

Answers

Answer:

x=-8

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to divide by 3/4 each side

Since it's a fraction it will multiplying by the recripocal on each side which will be 4/3.

If you multiple 4/3 to -6 the answer should be -8. So X would equal -8.

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation for this problem: 250 + 0.06c = p  where c = commission and p = pay

If the sales for this employe was $5500, we can fill out the equation:

250 + 0.06 × 5500 = 580

Imagine that Dr. Jones publishes a study that claims that drinking while pregnant is dangerous for the health of the unborn baby. He surveys 200 women and finds that of the 100 women in his study who drank when pregnant, 78 had children who experienced problems with attention. Of the 100 women in his study who did not drink when pregnant, only 29 children experienced problems with attention. Your neighbor says that Dr. Jones is wrong because she drank when pregnant and her child is perfectly healthy. Explain why Dr. Jones is NOT wrong.

Answers

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Dr. Jones conclusion was based on probability which measures the degree of likelihood of an occurrence or event. In his experiment, the result could be interpreted using point estimate to mean that ; 78/100 = 0.78 or 78% of those who drank while pregnant has problem with attention while only 29/100 = 0.29 or 29% of those who did not drink.

This conclusion means that pregnant women who drink have a higher likelihood of giving birth to a child with attention problem than pregnant women who do not drink. Hence, the fact that someone who drank gave birth to a perfectly healthy child does not discredit or annull Dr. Jones study.

Autumn wants to calculate the area of the regular hexagon below using rectangles and triangles. What is the minimum number of shapes she could use?
Two triangles and one rectangle
Two rectangles and one triangle
Two triangles and two rectangles
no rectangles and 6 triangles​

Answers

Answer:

A. Two triangles and one rectangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

A regular hexagon has all six sides to be equal in length. The sum of its interior angle can be determined by:

                                      sum of angles = (n - 2) x 180

So that some series of different shapes can be produced from the polygon. In the given hexagon, the minimum number of shapes that can be produce is 3 which are; 2 triangles and a rectangle.

Sea un cuadrado de 2 pulgadas de lado uniendo los puntos medios se obtiene otro cuadrado inscrito en el anterior si repetimos este proceso obtenemos una progresión de infinitos cuadrado comprobar que la área de los infinitos cuadrados forman una progresión geométrica y calcula la suma de todas las áreas

Answers

Answer:

1) La serie geométrica formada es

4, 2, 1,..., ∞

2) La suma al infinito de las áreas de los cuadrados es 8 in.²

Step-by-step explanation:

1) El área del primer cuadrado, a₁ = 2² = 4 pulgadas²

El área del siguiente cuadrado, a₂ = (√ (1² + 1²)) ² = (√2) ² = 2 pulg²

El área del siguiente cuadrado, a₃ = ((√ (2) / 2) ² + (√ (2) / 2) ²) = 1 pulg²

Por lo tanto, la razón común, r = a₂ / a₁ = 2/4 = a₃ / a₂ = 1/2

Las áreas de los cuadrados progresivos forman una progresión geométrica como sigue;

4, 4×(1/2), 4 ×(1/2)²,...,4×[tex](1/2)^{\infty}[/tex]

De donde obtenemos la serie geométrica formada de la siguiente manera;

4, 2, 1,..., ∞

2) La suma de 'n' términos de una progresión geométrica hasta el infinito para -1 <r <1 se da como sigue;

[tex]S_{\infty} = \dfrac{a}{1 - r}[/tex]

Por lo tanto, la suma de las áreas de los cuadrados hasta el infinito se obtiene sustituyendo los valores de 'a' y 'r' en la ecuación anterior de la siguiente manera;

[tex]La \ suma \ al \ infinito \ del \ cuadrado \ S_{\infty} = \dfrac{4 \ in.^2}{1 - \dfrac{1}{2} } = \dfrac{4 \ in.^2}{\left(\dfrac{1}{2} \right)} = 2 \times 4 \ in.^2= 8 \ in.^2[/tex]

La suma al infinito de las áreas de los cuadrados, [tex]S_{\infty}[/tex] = 8 in.²

  3 of Ismael's 5 panels produce 3/5E

  4 of Ben's 6 panels produce 4/6E

We can compare these fractions when they have a common denominator.

  3/5E = 18/30E . . . . energy from Ismael's panels

  4/6E = 20/30E . . .  energy from Ben's panels

  18/30 < 20/30 . . . . so Ben's panels are producing more energy

The right answer for the question that is being asked and shown above is that: "No, the equation is not a good fit because the sum of the residuals is a large number." Determine whether the equation that produced the predicted values represents a good line of best fit.

The inference from the information is A. No, the equation is not a good fit because the sum of the residuals is a large number.

What is a line of best fit?

It should be noted that line of best fit simply means a line through a scatter plot of data points which shows the relationship between the points.

In this case, the inference from the information is that the equation is not a good fit because the sum of the residuals is a large number.
