Exit polling is a popular technique used to determine the outcome of an election prior to results being tallied. Suppose a referendum to increase funding for education is on the ballot in a large town​ (voting population over​ 100,000). An exit poll of 200 voters finds that 94 voted for the referendum. How likely are the results of your sample if the population proportion of voters in the town in favor of the referendum is 0.52​? Based on your​ result, comment on the dangers of using exit polling to call elections.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

P(X ≤ 94) =  0.09012

From what we observe; There is a probability  of less than 94 people who voted for the referendum is 0.09012

Comment:

The result is unusual because the probability that p is equal to or more extreme than the sample proportion is greater than 5%. Thus, it is not unusual for a wrong call to be made in an election if the exit polling alone is considered.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information given :

An exit poll of 200 voters finds that 94 voted for the referendum.

How likely are the results of your sample if the population proportion of voters in the town in favor of the referendum is 0.52​? Based on your​ result, comment on the dangers of using exit polling to call elections.

This implies that ;

the Sample size n = 200

the probability p = 0.52

Let X be the random variable

So; the Binomial expression can be represented as:

X [tex]\sim[/tex] Binomial ( n = 200, p = 0.52)

Mean [tex]\mu[/tex] = np

Mean [tex]\mu[/tex]  = 200 × 0.52

Mean [tex]\mu[/tex]  = 104

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

The standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{200 \times 0.52(1-0.52)}[/tex]

The standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{200 \times 0.52(0.48)}[/tex]

The standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{49.92}[/tex]

The standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex] = 7.065

However;

P(X ≤ 94) because the discrete distribution by the continuous normal distribution values lies in the region of 93.5 and 94.5 .

The less than or equal to sign therefore relates to the continuous normal distribution of X < 94.5

Now;

x = 94.5

Therefore;

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

[tex]z = \dfrac{94.5 - 104}{7.065}[/tex]

[tex]z = \dfrac{-9.5}{7.065}[/tex]

z = −1.345

P(X< 94.5) = P(Z < - 1.345)

From the z- table

P(X ≤ 94) =  0.09012

From what we observe; There is a probability  of less than 94 people who voted for the referendum is 0.09012

Comment:

The result is unusual because the probability that p is equal to or more extreme than the sample proportion is greater than 5%. Thus, it is not unusual for a wrong call to be made in an election if the exit polling alone is considered.

On a coordinate plane, a graph shows Street on the x-axis and Avenue on the y-axis. A line is drawn from Tia to Lei. Tia is at (4, 8) and Lei is at (12, 20). Tia lives at the corner of 4th Street and 8th Avenue. Lei lives at the corner of 12th Street and 20th Avenue. The fruit market is Three-fourths the distance from Tia’s home to Lei's home.

Answers

Answer:

(10, 17)

Step-by-step explanation:

It might be easier to explain with a picture or drawing, but I am new to this, so I would try using words.

Assuming the fruit market is on that straight line from Tia's home to Lei's, So we look at both address (coordinates)

From Tia to Lei, x coordinate is from 4 to 12, that's increased by 8, divide by 4, one step is 2.

y coordinate is from 8 to 20, an increase of 12, divide by 4 again, one step is 3.

The fruit market is at 3/4 distance, so 3 steps, on both x and y coordinates.

x: 4+6 = 10

y: 8+9=17

The fruit market is at point (10,17)

What is graph?

A graph can be defined as a pictorial representation or a diagram that represents data or values.

The point (x,y) which divides the segment AB with endpoints at A(x₁,y₁) and B(x₂,y₂) in ratio m:n has cordinates

[tex]x= \dfrac{nx_1+nx_2}{m+n}[/tex]

[tex]y= \dfrac{ny_1+ny_2}{m+n}[/tex]

Tia is at P(4, 8) and Lei is at Q(12, 20).

The fruit market (F) is three-fourths the distance from Tia’s home to Lei's home, then PM : PQ = 3:4 or PM : MQ = 3:1

So,

[tex]x= \dfrac{1.4+3.12}{3+1} = \dfrac{4+36}{4} = \dfrac{40}{4} = 10 \\y= \dfrac{1.8+3.20}{3+1} = \dfrac{8+60}{4} = \dfrac{68}{4} = 17[/tex]

Hence, the fruit market is at point (10,17) which means it is placed at the corner of 10th Street and 17th Avenue.

The ratio of Ed's toy cars to Pete's toy cars was initially 5:2. After Ed gave 30 toy cars to Pete, they each had an equal number of cars. How many toy cars did they have altogether?

Answers

Answer:

140 toy cars

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of Ed's toy car to Pete's toy car is initially given as 5:2

Ed gave Pete a total number of 30 cars

Let x represent the greatest common factor that exists between both number

Number of Ed's car is represented as 5x

Number of Pete car is represented as 2x

Since they each have an equal number of cars which is 30 then we can solve for x as follows

5x-30=2x+30

Collect the like terms

5x-2x= 30+30

3x= 60

Divide both sides by the coefficient of x which is 3

3x/3=60/3

x=20

Ed's car is 5x, we substitute 20 for x

5(20)

= 100 cars

Pete car is 2x,we substitute 20 for x

2(20)

= 40 cars

Therefore, the total number of cars can be calculated as follows

= 100+40

= 140 toy cars

Hence they have 140 toy cars altogether

the length of a rectangular plot of land exceeds the width by 7 m if the area pf the plot is 198 m square what is the length

Answers

Answer:

28.142m

Step-by-step explanation:

area of rectangle=width x lenght

so; (rotating the formula with what is given)

area of rectangle/width=lenght

197/7=lenght

28.142m =lenght

Answer:

Length is 18 m and width is 11 m

Step-by-step explanation:

So based on the information given length is seven cm more than your width, and since we don’t know the values of these, we can plot this information into a formula that looks like this: (x+7)(x)=198, which is basically how you take the area of the plot of land.

If you multiply your values, you will get a quadratic equation that looks like this x²+7x-198. If you follow the quadratic formula to solve this equation, the positive result you will get for x is 11, this is your width. And since length exceeds by 7, you just add 7 to 11 to find the length, which ends up being 18.

to verify, you can simply multiply these two values

Hence, for continuous probability distribution: probability = area.

2. For any continuous probability distribution, the probability, P(x), of any value of the random variable, X, can be computed: False because it has an infinite number of possible values, which can not be counted or uncountable.

Hence, it cannot be computed.

3. For any discrete probability distribution, the probability, P(x), of any value of the random variable, X, can be computed: True because it has a finite number of possible values, which are countable or can be counted.

Hence, it can be computed.

Determine how many litres of water will fit inside the following container. Round answer and all calculations to the nearest whole number.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\approx[/tex] 11 litres of water will fit inside the container.

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the given figure, we have a container formed with combination of a right angled cone placed at the top of a right cylinder.

Given:

Height of cylinder, [tex]h_1[/tex] = 15 cm

Diameter of cylinder/ cone, D = 26 cm

Slant height of cone, l = 20 cm

Here, we need to find the volume of container.[tex]\\Volume_{Container} = Volume_{Cylinder}+Volume_{Cone}\\\Rightarrow Volume_{Container} = \pi r_1^2 h_1+\dfrac{1}{3}\pi r_2^2 h_2[/tex]

Here,

[tex]r_1=r_2 = \dfrac{Diameter}{2} = \dfrac{26}{2} =13\ cm[/tex]

To find the Height of Cylinder, we can use the following formula:

[tex]l^2 = r_2^2+h_2^2\\\Rightarrow h_2^2 = 20^2-13^2\\\Rightarrow h_2^2 = 400-169\\\Rightarrow h_2^2 = 231\\\Rightarrow h_2=15.2\ cm \approx 15\ cm[/tex]

Now, putting the values to find the volume of container:

[tex]Volume_{Container} = \pi \times 13^2 \times 15+\dfrac{1}{3}\pi \times 13^2 \times 15\\\Rightarrow Volume_{Container} = \pi \times 13^2 \times 15+\pi \times 13^2 \times 5\\\Rightarrow Volume_{Container} = \pi \times 13^2 \times 20\\\Rightarrow Volume_{Container} = 10613.2 \approx 10613\ cm^3[/tex]

Converting [tex]cm^{3 }[/tex] to litres:

[tex]10613 cm^3 = 10.613\ litres \approx 11\ litres[/tex]

[tex]\approx[/tex] 11 litres of water will fit inside the container.

that ∠ABC and ∠CBD are supplementary,
what is the value of m ∠ABC and m ∠ABC?
m ∠DBC=x−10
m ∠ABC=x+30.

Answers

Answer:

m ∠DBC=80−10=70

m ∠ABC=80+30=110

Step-by-step explanation:

m ∠DBC+m ∠ABC=180

( x−10)+(x+30.)=180

2x+20=180

2x=180-20

2x=160

x=80

>>m ∠DBC=80−10=70

>>m ∠ABC=80+30=110

Answer:

[tex]\boxed{<DBC = 70 degrees}\\\boxed{<ABC = 110 degrees}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

∠ABC and ∠DBC are supplementary which means that the sum of these two angles is equal to 180.

∠ABC + ∠DBC = 180

Given that: ∠ABC = x+30 and ∠DBC = x - 10

So,

=> x+30+x-10 = 180

=> 2x+20 = 180

=> 2x = 180-20

=> 2x = 160

Dividing both sides by 2

=> x = 80

Now, Finding measures of the angles.

=> ∠DBC = x-10 = 80-10 = 70 degrees

=> ∠ABC = x+30 =80+30 = 110 degrees
