Confidence interval of a population proportion is given by p^ + or - sqrt(p^(1 - p^)/n); where p^ = 450/600 = 0.75 and n = 600
99.7% convidence interval = 0.75 + or - 2.96 x sqrt(0.75(1 - 0.75)/600) = 0.75 + or - 2.96 x sqrt(0.75(0.25)/600) = 0.75 + or - 2.96 x 0.0177 = 0.75 + or - 0.0524 = 0.697 to 0.803 = 69.7% to 80.3%

Dan is watching The Birds in his backyard. Of the birds he watches, 9. Of them,or 45%, are sparrows. How many birds are in his b
ra1l [238]

If 9 of the sparrows is 45% of the birds in the backyard, 9/x = 45/100.

Cross multiply to get 9 * 100 = 45x; simplified is 900 = 45x or 20.

This means that there are 20 birds in the backyard. You can check this by dividing 9/20 which equals 45%

the smith family is shopping for a new car and they are basing their decision on color and style Explain how many color choices
irakobra [83]

Answer:

Sample response: The Smith family has 2 choices to make, color

and style. By the fundamental counting principle, the product of the

number of choices of color and style must equal 8. So, there could be 1

color and 8 style choices, 2 colors and 4 styles, 4 colors and 2 styles,

or 8 colors and 1 style.

Consider the following equation, bh+hr=25 when solving for r
Komok [63]
Solve for r.

You want to get r by itself on one side on the equal sign.

bh + hr = 25

Subtract bh from both sides.

hr = 25 - bh

Divide h on both sides.

r = 25 - bh / h

The two h's cancel each other out.

r = 25 - b

Hope this helps!

ΔABC is dilated using a scale factor of 12 to produce ΔA'B'C'. Select all of the statements that apply to the transformation.
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

Options (3) and (6)

Step-by-step explanation:

ΔABC is a dilated using a scale factor of \frac{1}{2} to produce image triangle ΔA'B'C'.

Since, dilation is a rigid transformation,

Angles of both the triangles will be unchanged or congruent.

m∠A = m∠A' and m∠B = m∠B'

Since, sides of ΔA'B'C' = \frac{1}{2} of the sides of ΔABC

Area of ΔA'B'C' = \frac{1}{2}(\text{Area of triangle ABC})

Area of ΔABC > Area of ΔA'B'C'

Since, angles of ΔABC and ΔA'B'C' are congruent, both the triangles will be similar.

ΔABC ~ ΔA'B'C'

Therefore, Option (3) and Option (6) are the correct options.

Suppose the area that can be painted using a single can of spray paint is slightly variable and follows a nearly normal distribu
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

You have the variable

X: Area that can be painted with a can of spray paint (feet²)

The variable has a normal distribution with mean μ= 25 feet² and standard deviation δ= 3 feet²

since the variable has a normal distribution, you have to convert it to standard normal distribution to be able to use the tabulated accumulated probabilities.

a.

P(X>27)

First step is to standardize the value of X using Z= (X-μ)/ δ ~N(0;1)

P(Z>(27-25)/3)

P(Z>0.67)

Now that you have the corresponding Z value you can look for it in the table, but since tha table has probabilities of P(Z, you have to do the following conervertion:

P(Z>0.67)= 1 - P(Z≤0.67)= 1 - 0.74857= 0.25143

b.

There was a sample of 20 cans taken and you need to calculate the probability of painting on average an area of 540 feet².

The sample mean has the same distribution as the variable it is ariginated from, but it's variability is affected by the sample size, so it has a normal distribution with parameners:

X[bar]~N(μ;δ²/n)

So the Z you have to use to standardize the value of the sample mean is Z=(X[bar]-μ)/(δ/√n)~N(0;1)

To paint 540 feet² using 20 cans you have to paint around 540/20= 27 feet² per can.

c.

P(X≤27) = P(Z≤(27-25)/(3/√20))= P(Z≤2.98)= 0.999

d.

No. If the distribution is skewed and not normal, you cannot use the normal distribution to calculate the probabilities. You could use the central limit theorem to approximate the sampling distribution to normal if the sample size was 30 or grater but this is not the case.

I hope it helps!
