Assume that 25% of all households in Santa Clara county have a burglar alarm (population characteristic). A random sample of 200 Santa Clara county households is taken. What is the probability that between 20% (0.2) to 30% (0.3) of the households in the sample have a burglar alarm

Answers

Answer:

The probability is  [tex]P( 0.2 < p < 0.3) = 0.89751[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question  we are told that

   The population proportion is  p =  0.25

   The sample size is  n  =  200  

     

Generally given that the sample size is large the mean of this sampling distribution is mathematically represented as [tex]\mu_{x} = p = 0.25[/tex]

 Generally the standard deviation is mathematically represented as

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

=>     [tex]\sigma = \sqrt{ \frac{ 0.25(1- 0.25 ) }{200} }[/tex]

=>     [tex]\sigma = 0.03062[/tex]

Generally the probability that between 20% (0.2) to 30% (0.3) of the households in the sample have a burglar alarm is mathematically represented as  

      [tex]P( 0.2 < p < 0.3) = P(\frac{ 0.2 - 0.25}{ 0.03062 } < \frac{p- \mu_{x}}{\sigma } < \frac{ 0.2 - 0.25}{ 0.03062 } )[/tex]

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

=>   [tex]P( 0.2 < p < 0.3) = P(-1.6329 < Z <1.6329 )[/tex]

=>   [tex]P( 0.2 < p < 0.3) = P( Z< 1.6329) - P( Z <- 1.6329 )[/tex]

From the z table  the area under the normal curve to the left corresponding to  1.6329 and  -1.6329  is

    [tex]P( Z< 1.6329) = 0.94875[/tex]

and

    [tex]P( Z <- 1.6329 ) = 0.051245[/tex]

So

   [tex]P( 0.2 < p < 0.3) = 0.94875 - 0.051245[/tex]

=> [tex]P( 0.2 < p < 0.3) = 0.89751[/tex]

Question 1
You notice a hot air balloon descending. The elevation h (in feet) of the balloon is modeled by the function h(x)=-11x+330, where x is the time (in seconds) since you first noticed the hot air balloon.
Graph the function and specify its domain and range. Then interpret the slope and intercepts of the graph.

Answers

Answer:

Domain

[tex]x\in [0\,s,30\,s][/tex]

Range

[tex]h \in [0\,ft,330\,ft][/tex]

The h-Intercept represents the initial height of the balloon. The balloon has an initial height of 330 feet.

The x-Intercept represents the time when the balloon reaches the ground. The balloon takes 30 seconds to descend and reach the ground.

The slope represents the ratio of the change in the elevation of the balloon to the change in time. A slope of -11 means that balloon descends 11 feet per second.  

Step-by-step explanation:

Both the time (domain), measured in seconds, and the height (range), measured in feet, are positive variables. The hot air balloon start at a height above and descends to the ground. Which means that domain and range of the function are, respectively:

Now we find the upper bound of the height of the hot air balloon. If we know that [tex]t = 0\,s[/tex], then the upper bound is:

[tex]h(0) = -11\cdot (0)+330[/tex]

[tex]h(0) = 330\,ft[/tex]

Range

[tex]h \in [0\,ft,330\,ft][/tex]

Now we find the upper bound of time. If we know that [tex]h = 0\,ft[/tex]. then the upper bound is:

[tex]-11\cdot x +330 = 0[/tex]

[tex]11\cdot x = 330[/tex]

[tex]x = 30\,s[/tex]

Domain

[tex]x\in [0\,s,30\,s][/tex]

The h-Intercept represents the initial height of the balloon. The balloon has an initial height of 330 feet.

The x-Intercept represents the time when the balloon reaches the ground. The balloon takes 30 seconds to descend and reach the ground.

The slope represents the ratio of the change in the elevation of the balloon to the change in time. A slope of -11 means that balloon descends 11 feet per second.

Answer:

m∠1 = 140°

m∠2 = 40°

m∠3 = 65°

m∠4 = 75°

m∠5 = 115°

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use a few different methods to find the angles:

A triangle's angles will always add up to 180°. With this information, we can find the last angle of the triangle on the left:

∠1+∠2+∠3=180°

60+80+∠3=180°

Let x represent the value of ∠3. Simplify addition:

[tex]140+x=180[/tex]

Subtract 140 from both sides:

[tex]140-140+x=180-140\\\\x=40[/tex]

The unknown angle is 40°. With this information, we can find the

m∠1:

m∠1 and the 40° we just found are supplementary angles, which means that their measures will add up to a total of 180°.

∠1+∠2=180°

Insert the value we know:

40°+∠2=180

Let x represent the value of ∠2. Subtract 40 from both sides:

[tex]40-40+x=180-40\\\\x=140[/tex]

There fore:

m∠1=140°

We can use this same rule to find the m∠2:

∠1+∠2=180°

or, we can use the vertical angles rule. The first angle we found (Which is 40°) is a vertical angle to m∠2, so they have the same value. Therefore:

m∠2=40°

To find m∠3, we need to find the other missing angle in the middle triangle. Use the supplementary angle rule, since the missing angle is supplementary to the angle that is 105°:

∠1+∠2=180°

Insert the known values, substituting x for the unknown angle:

[tex]x+105=180[/tex]

Subtract 105 from both sides:

[tex]x+105-105=180-105\\\\x=75[/tex]

The unknown angle is 75°. Now find m∠3, knowing that triangles add up to 180°:

m∠2+m∠3+75=180

Insert the m∠2, make m∠3 be x:

[tex]40+x+75=180[/tex]

Simplify addition:

[tex]115+x=180[/tex]

Subtract 115 from both sides:

[tex]115-115+x=180-115\\\\x=65[/tex]

Therefore:

m∠3=65°

To find m∠4, use the vertical angle rule.

Therefore:

m∠4=75°

To find m∠5, we could find all triangle measures of the least triangle, or we can use the following:

An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two opposite interior angles. The sum of exterior angle and interior angle is equal to 180 degrees.

The m∠5 is the exterior angle, and the opposite interior angles are 75° and 40°:

[tex]75+40=115[/tex]

Therefore:

m∠5=115°

Suppose commute times in a large city are normally distributed and that 63.70% of commuters in this city take more than 22 minutes to commute one-way. If the standard deviation of such commutes is 6.3 minutes, what is the mean commute?

Answers

Answer:

The mean is 24.205

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, we need to get the z-score

From the question, the probability we have is the probability that commuters take more than 22 minutes to commute one-way

So the probability we had was;

P( x > 22)

So we need the z-score corresponding to 63.70% or simply 0.637

We can use the standard normal distribution table to get this

Mathematically, from the standard normal distribution table this is -0.35

z-score = (x- mean)/SD

-0.35 = (22-mean)/6.3

22-mean = -2.205

mean = 22 + 2.205 = 24.205
