In politics, marketing, etc. we often want to estimate a percentage or proportion p. One calculation in statistical polling is the margin of error - the largest (reasonable) error that the poll could have. For example, a poll result of 72% with a margin of error of 4% indicates that p is most likely to be between 68% and 76% (72% minus 4% to 72% plus 4%).

In a (made-up) poll, the proportion of people who like dark chocolate more than milk chocolate was 27% with a margin of error of 1.6%. Describe the conclusion about p using an absolute value inequality.

The answer field below uses the symbolic entry option in Mobius. That lets you type in a vertical bar | to represent absolute values. Also, when you type in < and then =, the symbolic entry option will automatically convert that too ≤ . In the same way, if you type in > and then =, the symbolic entry option will automatically convert that to ≥.

Be sure to use decimal numbers in your answer (such as using 0.40 for 40%).

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

|0.254 ≤ p ≤ 0.286|

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

In a made up poll :

Proportion of people who like dark chocolate than milk chocolate (p) = 27%

Margin of Error = 1.6%

Hence,

p ± margin of error

27% ± 1.6%

(27 - 1.6)% ; (27 + 1.6)%

25.4% ; 28.6%

0.254 ; 0.286

Therefore ;

Lower bound = 0.254

Upper bound = 0.286

Expressing p as an absolute value Inequality ;

|0.254 ≤ p ≤ 0.286|

What volume would a 200 g sample of gold have, if its density is known to be 19.3

Answers

Answer:

The volume that a 200 g gold sample would have is 10.36 mL.

Step-by-step explanation:

Density is defined as the property that matter, whether solid, liquid or gas, has to compress into a given space. In other words, density is a quantity that allows us to measure the amount of mass in a certain volume of a substance. Then, the expression for the calculation of density is the quotient between the mass of a body and the volume it occupies:

[tex]density=\frac{mass}{volume}[/tex]

In this case it is known that the density of gold is 19.3 g / mL. This indicates that in 1 mL there are 19.3 g. Then the following rule of three can be applied: if 19.3 g is contained in 1 mL, how much volume is 200 g of gold?

[tex]volume=\frac{200 g*1mL}{19.3g}[/tex]

volume= 10.36 mL

The volume that a 200 g gold sample would have is 10.36 mL.

The product of two numbers is 1856. The sum is ninety. What is the difference of these two numbers?

Answers

Answer:  26

======================================================

Explanation:

x and y are the two numbers

The product of those values is 1856, so xy = 1856

The sum is 90, so x+y = 90. Solve for y to get y = 90-x

Plug this into the first equation

xy = 1856

x(90-x) = 1856

90x-x^2 = 1856

0 = x^2-90x+1856

x^2-90x+1856 = 0

Now use the quadratic formula

[tex]x = \frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\\\x = \frac{-(-90)\pm\sqrt{(-90)^2-4(1)(1856)}}{2(1)}\\\\x = \frac{90\pm\sqrt{676}}{2}\\\\x = \frac{90\pm26}{2}\\\\x = \frac{90+26}{2} \ \text{ or } \ x = \frac{90-26}{2}\\\\x = \frac{116}{2} \ \text{ or } \ x = \frac{64}{2}\\\\x = 58 \ \text{ or } \ x = 32\\\\[/tex]

If x = 58, then,

y = 90-x

y = 90-58

y = 32

So one pair of values is (x,y) = (58,32)

We see that x*y = 58*32 = 1856

If x = 32, then,

y = 90-x

y = 90-32

y = 58

Showing (x,y) = (32,58) is the other solution. But this is just a mirror copy of the first solution. Effectively we're saying the same thing.

The two numbers 58 and 32 multiply to 1856, and they add to 90.

The difference in the two values is 58-32 = 26 which is the final answer.

------------------------

In summary,

58*32 = 1856

58+32 = 90

58 - 32 = 26

Answer:26

Step-by-step explanation:

x+y=90

xy=1856

x*(90-x)=1856

-x^2 +90x -1856=0

or x^2 -90x +1856=0

Using quadratic equation

(x-58)*(x-32)=0

x=58, y=32

58-32=26

A poll is given, showing 60% are in favor of a new building project. If 9 people are chosen at random, what is the probability that exactly 4 of them favor the new building project?

Answers

Answer:

The probability that exactly 4 are in favor the new building project is 0.1672.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X denote the number of people who are in favor of a new building project.

The proportion of people who are in favor of a new building project is, p = 0.60.

A random sample of n = 9 people are chosen.

Every person has independent opinion about the new building project.

Thus, the random variable X follows a binomial distribution with parameters n = 9 and p = 0.60.

Compute the probability that exactly 4 are in favor the new building project as follows:

[tex]P(X=4)={9\choose 4}(0.60)^{4}(1-0.60)^{9-4}\\\\=126\times 0.1296\times 0.01024\\\\=0.167215104\\\\\approx 0.1672[/tex]

Thus, the probability that exactly 4 are in favor the new building project is 0.1672.

A boat is pulled toward a dock by means of a rope wound on a drum that is located 6 ft above the bow of the boat. If the rope is being pulled in at the rate of 5 ft/s, how fast (in ft/s) is the boat approaching the dock when it is 34 ft from the dock?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

The height of the dock (h) = 6

Let represent d to be the distance between the boat and the dock

Let the length of the rope between the boat and the drum be denoted by (l)

Then, the rate of change for the length of the rope be:

dl/dt = -5 ft/s

Using Pythagoras rule to determine the relationship between these values, we have:

[tex]l^2 = h^2 +d^2[/tex]

[tex]l^2 = 6^2 + d^2[/tex]

[tex]l^2 = 36 + d^2[/tex]

We relate to:  [tex]2l * \dfrac{dl}{dt} = 2d* \dfrac{dd}{dt}[/tex]

From the question;

l = 34,

So to find [tex]\dfrac{dd}{dt}[/tex], we get;

[tex]d = \sqrt{l^2 - 36}[/tex]

[tex]d = \sqrt{34^2 - 36}[/tex]

[tex]d = \sqrt{1156- 36}[/tex]

[tex]d = \sqrt{1120}[/tex]

d = 33.46

So, we have:

[tex]\dfrac{dd}{dt}= \dfrac{l}{d} \times \dfrac{dl}{dt}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{dd}{dt}= \dfrac{34}{33.46} \times - 5[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{dd}{dt}= 1.016 \times - 5[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{dd}{dt}=-5.08 \ ft/sec[/tex]

Suppose 52R% of the population has a college degree. If a random sample of size 808808 is selected, what is the probability that the proportion of persons with a college degree will be less than 54T%

Answers

Answer:

The probability is  [tex]P( p < 435.82 ) = 0.54094[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The population proportion is  p =  54% = 0.54

    The sample size is  n  =  808

Generally the distribution of the population with college degree follows a binomial distribution  

i.e  

         [tex]X  \~ \ \ \  B(n , p)[/tex]

Generally the mean is mathematically represented as

       [tex]\mu = n * p[/tex]

=>    [tex]\mu = 808 * 0.52[/tex]

=>    [tex]\mu = 420.16[/tex]

Generally the standard deviation is mathematically represented as

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

=>      [tex]\sigma = \sqrt{808 * 0.52(1- 0.52 )}[/tex]    

=>      [tex]\sigma = 14.2[/tex]

Generally 54% of the population proportion is

         [tex]\^ p = 0.54 * 808[/tex]

=>     [tex]\^ p = 436.32[/tex]

Generally by normal approximation of the binomial distribution the probability that the proportion of persons with a college degree will be less than 54% is mathematically evaluated as

      [tex]P(p < \^ p ) = P(\frac{p - \mu }{\sigma } < \frac{\^ p - \mu }{\sigma } )[/tex]

[tex]\frac{X -\mu}{\sigma }  =  Z (The  \ standardized \  value\  of  \ X )[/tex]

=>  [tex]P(p < 436.32 ) = P( Z < \frac{436.32 - 420.16 }{14.20 } )[/tex]

applying continuity correction

      [tex]P(p < (436.32-0.5) ) = P( Z < \frac{(436.32-0.5) - 420.16 }{14.20 } )[/tex]

=>  [tex]P(p < (435.82 ) = P( Z < \frac{435.82 - 420.16 }{14.20 } )[/tex]

=>  [tex]P(p < (435.82 ) = P( Z < 0.1028 )[/tex]

From the z table  the area under the normal curve to the left corresponding to 0.1028  is

   [tex]P( Z < 0.1028 ) = 0.54094[/tex]

=> [tex]P( p < 435.82 ) = 0.54094[/tex]
