1.19% probability that fewer than 101 commuters drive to work alone

Step-by-step explanation:

I am going to use the binomial approximation to the normal to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

Can be approximated to a normal distribution, using the expected value and the standard deviation.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

E(X) = np

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

$\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}$

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

When we are approximating a binomial distribution to a normal one, we have that $\mu = E(X)$ , $\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)}$ .

In this problem, we have that:

p = 0.75, n = 150

$\mu = E(X) = 150*0.75 = 112.5$

$\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{150*0.75*0.25} = 5.3$

(a) What is the probability that fewer than 101 commuters drive to work alone

Using continuity corretion, this is P(X < 101-0.5) = P(X < 100.5) , which is the pvalue of Z when X = 100.5. So

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{100.5 - 112.5}{5.3}$

Z = -2.26

Z = -2.26 has a pvalue of 0.0119

1.19% probability that fewer than 101 commuters drive to work alone

Answer from: Quest

options a,b,c are the right answer.

step-by-step explanation:

a linear parent function is always represented as y = x

if we write this function in the form of y=mx+c

⇒ $y=\frac{+1}{+1}x+0$

or $y=\frac{-1}{-1}x+0$

now if we plot a graph we will find these characteristics:

1) y intercept of the graph is zero so its a straight line passing through origin.

2) as we can see in both the forms of function written, values of x and y may be either positive or negative for the positive slope means points on the graph are either in first quadrant or in third one.

3) it's slope is one.

Arianna is buying plants for her garden. she buys 15 flowering plants for $96. pink flowering plants sell for $8, and purple flowering plants sell for $5. how many pink flowering plants did arianna buy? i figured out the answer! the answer is 7. 8x +5y = 96 plug in 7 for x 8 (7) + 5y = 96 56 + 5y = 96 subtract 56 from both sides 5y/y = 40/5 y = 8 she bought 7 pink and 8 purple plants

According to a study conducted in 2015, 18% of shoppers said that they prefer to buy generic instead of name-brand products. suppose that in a recent sample of 1500 shoppers, 315 stated that they prefer to buy generic instead of name-brand products. at a 5% significance level, can you conclude that the proportion of all shoppers who currently prefer to buy generic instead of name-brand products is higher than .18? use both the p-value and the critical-value approaches.
