A CBS News/New York Times opinion poll asked 1,190 adults whether they would prefer balancing the federal budget over cutting taxes; 59% of those asked said "yes." Suppose that in fact 62% of all adults favor balancing the budget over cutting taxes. If this poll was not biased, what is the probability you would get p^=0.59 or less?

Answers

Answer 1

Using the normal distribution and the central limit theorem, it is found that there is a 0.0166 = 1.66% probability of a sample proportion of 0.59 or less.

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 sampling proportions of a proportion p in a sample of size n has mean [tex]\mu = p[/tex] and standard error [tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1 - p)}{n}}[/tex]

In this problem:

1,190 adults were asked, hence [tex]n = 1190[/tex]In fact 62% of all adults favor balancing the budget over cutting taxes, hence [tex]p = 0.62[/tex].

The mean and the standard error are given by:

[tex]\mu = p = 0.62[/tex]

[tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1 - p)}{n}} = \sqrt{\frac{0.62(0.38)}{1190}} = 0.0141[/tex]

The probability of a sample proportion of 0.59 or less is the p-value of Z when X = 0.59, hence:

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

[tex]Z = \frac{0.59 - 0.62}{0.0141}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -2.13[/tex]

[tex]Z = -2.13[/tex] has a p-value of 0.0166.

0.0166 = 1.66% probability of a sample proportion of 0.59 or less.

Answer:

41/5

Step-by-step explanation:

So the answer is that 8 1/5 as a decimal is 8.2.

We convert it to an improper fraction which, in this case, is 41/5 and then we divide the new numerator (41) by the denominator to get our answer.

The shape of the graph of quadratic functions is the shape of a parabola.

The steps for drawing a graph of the function f(x) = 2·(x + 4)² - 3 arranged in the correct order are;

(a) Plot the vertex (-4, -3)(b) Apply the 2·x² pattern, from the vertex go right 1 up 2 and plot (-3, -1)(c) Apply the 2·x² pattern again, from the vertex go right 2 up 8 and plot (-2, 5)(d) Apply the 2·x² pattern a 3rd time, from the vertex go right 3 up 18 and plot (-1, 15)(e) Draw the axis of symmetry x = -4(f) Reflect the points over the axis of symmetry and plot (-5, -1), (-6, 5), and (-7, 15)(g) Draw a U shaped parabola.

Reasons:

The given function is; f(x) = 2·(x + 4)² - 3

The function is given in the vertex form; f(x) = a·(x - h)² + k

Therefore, the vertex, (h, k) = (-4, -3)

Step (a);

The vertex can be plotted on the graph

Plot the vertex (-4, -3)

Step (b);

Given that the quadratic term is 2·x², the pattern that can be used for the points from the vertex is therefore, 2·x²

From the vertex (-4, -3) apply the 2·x² pattern by going to the right 1 unit and  up 2 × 1² = 2 units to get the point (-4 + 1, -3 + 2) = (-3. -1)

Apply the 2·x² pattern, from the vertex go right 1 up 2 and plot (-3, -1)

Step (c);

To get the next point, the 2·x² pattern is applied with x = 2, to the vertex to get; (-4 + 2, -3 + (2×2²)) = (-2, 5)

Apply the 2·x² pattern again, from the vertex go right 2 up 8 and plot (-2, 5)

Step (d);

A third point on the graph relative to the vertex is obtained again by applying the 2·x² pattern again to the vertex with x = 3, to get;

(-4 + 3, -3 + (2 × 3²)) = (-1, 15)

Apply the 2·x² pattern a 3rd time, from the vertex go right 3 up 18 and plot (-1, 15)

Step (e);

The axis of symmetry can be drawn with a vertical line passing through the vertex, which is the line, x = -4

The line x = -4 can be drawn on the graph next

Draw the axis of symmetry x = -4

Step (f);

The points obtained relative to the vertex (-3, -1), (-2, 5), (-1, 15) can reflected about the axis of symmetry x = -4, to get;

(-3, -1) [tex]\underrightarrow {R_{(x = -4)}}[/tex] (-5, -1)

(-2, 5) [tex]\underrightarrow {R_{(x = -4)}}[/tex] (-7, 5)

(-1, 15) [tex]\underrightarrow {R_{(x = -4)}}[/tex] (-7, 15)

Reflect the points over the axis of symmetry and plot (-5, -1), (-6, 5), and (-7, 15)

Step (g);

The parabola that is U shaped can be drawn from the points plotted in the steps above.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Find the total amount in 3 years:

[tex]A = P(1+r/n)^{nt}[/tex][tex]A = 5483*(1+0.05/1)^{1*3}=5483*(1.05)^3 = 6347.26[/tex]

Time (t) = 3 years

A = ?

The standard formula for Compound interest (C.P) is given by,

[tex]:\implies\tt{A = p( { \frac{1 + r}{n} )}^{n \times t} } \\ \\ \\ :\implies\tt{A = 5483( { \frac{1 + 0.05}{1}) }^{1 \times 3} } \\ \\ \\ :\implies\tt{A = 5483 \times {1.05}^{3} } \\ \\ \\ :\implies\tt{A = 6347.26}[/tex]

Yes because 3 x 5 = 14 and 6 x 5 = 28.

No because when I use the cross products, 3 x 14 = 42 and 6 x 28 = 168.

Answers

Answer:

Option A (Yes because 3 x 2 = 6 and 14 x 2 = 28.) is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because if we simplify 3/6 and 14/28, both of them will get 1/2. This means that only A and C are possible.

=> Option A is correct because 3 x 2 does equal 6 and 14 x 2 does equal 28.=> Option C is incorrect because 3 x 5 does not equal 14 and 6 x 5 does not equal 28.

y = 4x - 12

x = 5,  y = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

x = 1st number

y = 2nd number

We can use the substitution method as we know what 'y' equals; that value will get plugged in for 'y' in the first equation as follows:

2x + 4x - 12 = 18

6x - 12 = 18

6x = 30

x = 5

y = 4(5) - 12 which is 20-12 or 8

y = 8
