1.4 is the same as 1 4/10

1 4/10 = 1 2/5 simplified.

1.25 is the same as 1 25/100

1 25/100 = 1 1/4 simplified

hope this helps

The criteria are met

A

The sample proportion is $\r p = 0.47$

B

$E =4.4 \%$

C

What this mean is that for N number of times the survey is carried out that the which sample proportion obtain will differ from the true population proportion will not more than 4.4%

$r = 0.514 = 51.4 \%$

D

This 95% confidence interval mean that the the chance of the true population proportion of those that are happy to be exist within the upper and the lower limit is 95%

E

Given that 50% of the population proportion lie with the 95% confidence interval the it correct to say that it is reasonably likely that a majority of U.S. adults were happy at that time

F

Yes our result would support the claim because

$\frac{1}{3 } \ of N < \frac{1}{2} (50\%) \ of \ N , \ Where\ N \ is \ the \ population\ size$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The sample size is $n = 500$

The sample proportion is $\r p = 0.47$

Generally the number of successes is mathematical represented as

$k = n * \r p$

substituting values

$k = 500 * 0.47$

$k = 235$

Generally the number of failure is mathematical represented as

$y = n * (1 -\r p )$

substituting values

$y = 500 * (1 - 0.47 )$

$y = 265$

for approximate normality for a confidence interval criteria to be satisfied

$np > 5 \ and \ n(1- p ) \ >5$

Given that the above is true for this survey then we can say that the criteria are met

Given that the confidence level is 95% then the level of confidence is mathematically evaluated as

$\alpha = 100 - 95$

$\alpha = 5 \%$

$\alpha =0.05$

Next we obtain the critical value of $\frac{\alpha }{2}$ from the normal distribution table, the value is

$Z_{\frac{ \alpha }{2} } = 1.96$

Generally the margin of error is mathematically represented as

$E = Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } * \sqrt{ \frac{\r p (1- \r p}{n} }$

substituting values

$E = 1.96 * \sqrt{ \frac{0.47 (1- 0.47}{500} }$

$E = 0.044$

=> $E =4.4 \%$

What this mean is that for N number of times the survey is carried out that the proportion obtain will differ from the true population proportion of those that are happy by more than 4.4%

The 95% confidence interval is mathematically represented as

$\r p - E < p < \r p + E$

substituting values

$0.47 - 0.044 < p < 0.47 + 0.044$

$0.426 < p < 0.514$

The upper limit of the 95% confidence interval is $r = 0.514 = 51.4 \%$

The lower limit of the 95% confidence interval is $v = 0.426 = 42.6 \%$

This 95% confidence interval mean that the the chance of the true population proportion of those that are happy to be exist within the upper and the lower limit is 95%

Given that 50% of the population proportion lie with the 95% confidence interval the it correct to say that it is reasonably likely that a majority of U.S. adults were happy at that time

Yes our result would support the claim because

$\frac{1}{3 } < \frac{1}{2} (50\%)$

A class with n kids lines up for recess. The order in which the kids line up is random with eachordering being equally likely. T

Elis [28]

Answer:

A) P(Betty is first in line and mary is last) = P(B₁) + P(Mₙ) - (P(B₁) × P(Mₙ/B₁))

B) The method used is Relative frequency approach.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are told a sample of n kids line up for recess.

Now, the order in which they line up is random with each ordering being equally likely. Thus, this means that the probability of each kid to take a position is n(total of kids/positions).

Since we are being asked about 3 kids from the class, let's assign a letter to each kid:

J: John

B: Betty

M: Mary

A) Now, we want to find the probability that Betty is first in line or Mary is last in line.

In this case, the events are not mutually exclusive, since it's possible that "Betty is first but Mary is not last" or "Mary is last but Betty is not first" or "Betty is the first in line and Mary is last". Thus, there is an intersection between them and the probability is symbolized as;

P(B₁ ∪ Mₙ) = P(B₁) + P (Mₙ) - P(B₁ ∩ Mₙ) = P(B₁) + P(Mₙ) - (P(B₁) × P(Mₙ/B₁))

Where;

The suffix 1 refers to the first position while the suffix n refers to the last position.

Also, P(B₁ ∩ Mₙ) = P(B₁) × P(Mₙ/B₁)

This is because the events "Betty" and "Mary" are not independent since every time a kid takes his place the probability of the next one is affected.

B) The method used is Relative frequency approach.

In this method, the probabilities are usually assigned on the basis of experimentation or historical data.

For example, If A is an event we are considering, and we assume that we have performed the same experiment n times so that n is the number of times A could have occurred.

Also, let n_A be the number of times that A did occur.

Now, the relative frequency would be written as (n_A)/n.

Thus, in this method, we will define P(A) as:

P(A) = lim:n→∞[(n_A)/n]
