Because the random variable x follows a continuous uniform distribution from x=1 to x=5, therefore
p(x) = 1/4,  x=[1, 5]
The value of p(x) ensures that the total area under the curve = 1.

The conditional probability p(x > 2.5 | x ≤ 4) is the shaded portion of the curve. Its value is
p(x > 2.5 | x ≤4) = (1/4)*(4 - 2.5) = 0.375

Answer: 0.375

Legalization of marijuana, Part I. The 2010 General Social Survey asked 1,578 US res- idents: \Do you think the use of marijuana
mixer [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Sample statistics are used to estimate population value. Since 48% is a sample proportion, therefore, it is a sample statistic.

b) For 95% confidence level, z* = 1.96.

\hat{p}\pm z^* \sqrt{\frac{\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})}{n}}= 0.61\pm 0.61\sqrt{\frac{0.61(1-0.61)}{1578}}=0.61\pm 0.024 \ or (0.586, 0.634).

We are 95% confident that the true proportion of US residents who think marijuana should be made legal lies between 58.6% and 63.4%.

c)

\\np=1578(0.61)=962.58

\\n(1-p)=1578(1-0.61)=615.42

Since both np and n(1-p), are at least 10, the normal model is a good approximation for these data.

d) As the lower limit of confidence interval is less than 0.5, less than 50% population is also a plausible value of true proportion. This means the statement "Majority of Americans think marijuana should be legalized" is not justified.

12x50=600 so 60 left
15x50=750 so 60 left
so the administration fee is 60

A recipe calls for 2 tsp of salt, 1 tsp of pepper, and 4 tsp of garlic powder. How much pepper and garlic powder would you need
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

amount of pepper required= 7.5 tsp

amount of garlic powder required = 30 tsp

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

amount of salt used for small batch of the recipe = 2 tsp

amount of pepper used for small batch of the recipe = 1 tsp

amount of garlic powder used for small batch of the recipe = 4 tsp

amount of salt used for the larger batch = 15 tsp

                                                             = 2 x 7.5 tsp

                                                             = amount of salt used for small batch the recipe x 7.5

So,

the amount of pepper needed for the larger batch= 7.5 x amount of pepper used for the small batch of recipe

                                                                      = 7.5 x 1 tsp

                                                                       = 7.5 tsp

the amount of garlic powder needed for the larger batch= 7.5 x amount of garlic powder used for the small batch of recipe

                                                                                          = 7.5 x 4 tsp

                                                                                          = 30 tsp

A newly hired basketball coach promised a high-paced attack that will put more points on the board than the team’s previously te
puteri [66]

Answer:

a. z = 2.00

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

The study variable is "Points per game of a high school team"

The hypothesis is that the average score per game is greater than before, so the parameter to test is the population mean (μ)

The hypothesis is:

H₀: μ ≤ 99

H₁: μ > 99

α: 0.01

There is no information about the variable distribution, I'll apply the Central Limit Theorem and approximate the sample mean (X[bar]) to normal since whether you use a Z or t-test, you need your variable to be at least approximately normal. Considering the sample size (n=36) I'd rather use a Z-test than a t-test.

The statistic value under the null hypothesis is:

Z= X[bar] - μ  = 101 - 99 = 2

σ/√n 6/√36

I don't have σ, but since this is an approximation I can use the value of S instead.

I hope it helps!
