One way of checking the effect of undercoverage, nonresponse, and other sources of error in a sample survey is to compare the sample with known facts about the population. About 12% of American adults identify themselves as black. Suppose we take an SRS of 1500 American adults and let X be the number of blacks in the sample. Use a Normal distribution to estimate the probability that the sample will contain between 165 and 195 blacks.

Answers

Answer 1

Solution :

Given :

p = 12% = 0.12

n = 15..

Mean is defined as the product of a sample size n and the probability p such that :

[tex]$\mu_X = np = 1500 \times 0.12$[/tex]

             = 180

Standard deviation may be defined as the square of a product of the sample size n, the probability p and the probability 1-p :

[tex]$\sigma_X = \sqrt{np(1-p)}$[/tex]

[tex]$\sigma_X = \sqrt{1500 \times 0.12 \times (1-0.12)}$[/tex]

     ≈  12.5857

The z-score is given by :

[tex]$z=\frac {x- \mu}{\sigma } $[/tex]

[tex]$z=\frac {165-180} {12.5857 }$[/tex]

 ≈  -1.19  

[tex]$z=\frac {x- \mu}{\sigma } $[/tex]

[tex]$z=\frac{195-180} {12.5857 }$[/tex]

 ≈  1.19  

Now determining the corresponding probability using table  :

P (165 ≤ X ≤ 195 ) = P (-1.19 ≤ Z ≤ 1.19 )

                            = 1-2 x P(Z < -1.19)

                            = 1-2 x 0.1170

                            = 1-0.2340

                            = 0.7660

                             = 76.60%

Answer 2
"76.06%" would be the probability that the sample will contain between 165 as well as 195 blacks.

Given values,

p = 12%

           = 0.12

n = 1500

The mean will be

→ [tex]\mu x = np[/tex]

By putting the values,

       [tex]= 1500\times 0.12[/tex]

       [tex]= 180[/tex]

The standard deviation will be:

→ [tex]\sigma x = \sqrt{np(1-p)}[/tex]

       [tex]= \sqrt{1500\times 0.12\times (1-0.12)}[/tex]

       [tex]= 12.5857[/tex]

The z-score will be:

→ [tex]z = \frac{x- \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

     [tex]= \frac{165-180}{12.5857}[/tex]

     [tex]= -1.19[/tex]

and,

→ [tex]z = \frac{195-180}{12.5857}[/tex]

     [tex]= 1.19[/tex]

hence,

The probability will be:

→ [tex]P(165 \leq X \leq 195) = P(-1.19 \leq Z \leq 1.19)[/tex]

                                [tex]= 1-2\times P(Z < -1.19)[/tex]

                                [tex]= 1-2\times 0.1170[/tex]

                                [tex]= 1-0.2340[/tex]

                                [tex]= 0.7660[/tex]

                                [tex]= 76.60[/tex] (%)

Thus the answer above is right.

2. The area A of a circle is increasing at a constant rate of 2.5cm s . If the area of the circle is given
by A = πr2, what is the rate of change of the radius when the radius is 15cm?

Answers

Answer:

235.65 cm^2s-1

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that;

Rate of change of area (dA/dt) = (dA/dr) (dr/dt) By chain rule

Note that dr/dt = rate of change of radius

But

A = πr^2

dA/dr = 2πr

dr/dt = 2.5cm s-1 (given)

So;

dA/dt =  2πr * 2.5cm s-1

r = 15cm (given)

dA/dt = 2 * 3.142 * 15cm * 2.5cm s-1

dA/dt = 235.65 cm^2s-1

Suppose that 8% of college students are vegetarians. Determine if the following statements are true or false, and explain your reasoning.

a. The distribution of the sample proportions of vegetarians in random samples of size 60 is approximately normal since n >= 30.
b. The distribution of the sample proportions of vegetarian college students in random samples of size 50 is right skewed.
c. A random sample of 125 college students where 12% are vegetarians would be considered unusual.
d. A random sample of 250 college students where 12% are vegetarians would be considered unusual.
e. The standard error would be reduced by one-half if we increased the sample size from 125 to 250.

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

we have p=proportion of vegetarian students=0.08

a. FALSE.

for normal approximations we must have np>=5 and n(1-p)>=5

here n=60 so np=60*0.08=4.8 which is less than 5.

hence normal approximation is not applicable.

b. TRUE.

for binomial proportion , the distribution is right skewed if 1-2p>0 or, 0.5>p

here, p=0.08 so 0.5>p is satisfied. hence it is rightly skewed.

c. FALSE.

here, n=125 which is quite large. hence normal approximation is applicable.

let phat be the sample proportion

then phat approximately follows a normal distribution with E[phat]=p=0.08

and variance=V[phat]=p(1-p)/n=0.08(1-0.08)/125=0.0005888

hence standard deviation=sqrt(0.0005888)=0.0242652

hence effective range of phat is [0.08-3*0.0242652,0.08+3*0.0242652]=[0.0072044,0.1527956]

12%=0.12 lies in this effective range.

hence it is not unusual.

In this exercise we have to classify whether the statements are true or false:

a) False

b) True

c) False

d) False

e) False

We have: [tex]p=proportion of vegetarian students=0.08[/tex]

a) FALSE.  

For normal approximations we must have:

[tex]np\geq 5 \\n(1-p)\geq 5[/tex]

Where [tex]n=60[/tex] so [tex]np=60*0.08=4.8[/tex]  which is less than 5. Hence normal approximation is not applicable.

b)TRUE.

For binomial proportion , the distribution is right skewed if :

[tex]1-2p>0 \\ 0.5>p[/tex]

Where, p=0.08 so 0.5>p is satisfied. hence it is rightly skewed.

c) FALSE.

Where, n=125 which is quite large. hence normal approximation is applicable. Let phat be the sample proportion then phat approximately follows a normal distribution with:

[tex]E[phat]=p=0.08[/tex]

and [tex]variance=V[phat]=p(1-p)/n=0.08(1-0.08)/125=0.0005888[/tex]

Hence standard deviation [tex]=sqrt(0.0005888)=0.0242652[/tex]

hence effective range of phat is:

[tex][0.08-3*0.0242652,0.08+3*0.0242652]=[0.0072044,0.1527956][/tex]

12%=0.12 lies in this effective range. Hence it is not unusual.

d) FALSE.

e) FALSE.

Step-by-step explanation:

6x=192

X=32

Applying the concept of supplementary angles the value of x we get is 32.

Use the concept of supplementary angles defined as:

The pair of angles known as supplementary angles always add up to 180 degrees. The definition of the term "supplementary" is "something supplied to complete a thing." These two perspectives are therefore referred to be complements of one another.

The given angles are:

Exterior angle = 3x - 4

Interior angle = 3x-8

From the figure, we can see that,

These angles are supplementary angles.

And since we know two angles are supplementary angles then,

Their sum = 180 degrees.

Therefore,

3x - 4 + 3x-8 = 180

6x - 12 = 180

Add 12 both sides are,

6x = 192

Divide by 6 on both sides,

x = 32

Hence,

The value of x is 32.

Answers

Answer:

Option B and F.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the terms x, x-3 and x+1, are the factors of the polynomial, therefore the roots are calculated by equating the factors to zero,

[tex]x = 0[/tex]

x - 3 = 0 ➡️ x = 3

x + 1 ➡️ x = -1

Plus, the polynomial has the zeroes -1, 0 and 3.

It means that the curve of the graph should intersect the x-axis at x = 0, x = 1, and x = 3.

Now select the graphs which pass through (-1, 0), (0, 0) and (3, 0).

It is observed that the graphs in options B and F follow this path.

So the correct choices are option B and F.
