Answer:

a) percentage of respondents that favored neither Obama nor Romney in terms of likeability = 7%

b) For a given survey of 500, the number of respondents that favored Obama than Romney is 145.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that none of those surveyed can favour the two candidates at the same time,

n(Universal set) = n(U) = 100%

n(Obama) = n(O) = 61%

n(Romney) = n(R) = 32%

n(That favour Obama and Romney) = n(O n R) = 0%

To calculate for the number that favour neither of the candidates

n(O' n R')

n(U) = n(O) + n(R) + n(O n R) + n(O' n R')

100 = 61 + 32 + 0 + n(O' n R')

n(O' n R') = 100 - 93 = 7%

b) For a given survey of 500, how many more respondents favored Obama than Romney?

Number of those surveyed that favour Obama = 61% of 500 = 305

Number of those surveyed that favour Romney = 32% of 500 = 160

Difference = 305 - 160 = 145

<span>Amanda has 26 nickels and dimes. We shall call nickels x and dimes y. We can write the following equations: x = 3y -2 or -x +3y = 2 x + y = 26 We can cancel out the x to give 4y = 28 or y = 7 If there are 26 coins in total and 7 of them are dimes then there must be 19 nickels. The number of nickels (19) is two fewer than three times the number of dimes ( 3(7) - 2 = 19).</span>

An airliner carries 150 passengers and has doors with a height of 78 in. Heights of men are normally distributed with a mean of
iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x, height of men is N(69, 2.8)

Sample size n =150

Hence sample std dev = \frac{2.8}{\sqrt{150} } =0.229

Hence Z score = \frac{x-69}{0.229}

A) Prob that a random man from 150  can fit without bending

= P(X<78) = P(Z<3.214)=1.0000

B) n =75

Sample std dev = \frac{2.8}{\sqrt{75} } =0.3233

P(X bar <72) = P(Z<9.28) = 1.00

C) Prob of B is more relevent because average male passengers  would be more relevant than a single person

(D) The probability from part (b) is more relevant because it shows the proportion of flights where the mean height of the male passengers will be less than the door height.

Including Jose, there are eight people in his family.
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

840

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the order matters, we use the permutations formula to solve this question.

Permutations formula:

The number of possible permutations of x elements from a set of n elements is given by the following formula:

P_{(n,x)} = \frac{n!}{(n-x)!}

In this question:

The first seat is Jose's.

The remaining four are organized among the other 7 members. So

P_{(7,4)} = \frac{7!}{(7-4)!} = 840

So the correct answer is:

840
