Math problem Just before a referendum on a school budget, a local newspaper polls 400 voters in an attempt to predict whether the budget will pass. Suppose that the budget actually has the support of 52% of the voters. What’s the probability the newspaper’s sample will lead them to predict defeat? Be sure to verify that the assumptions and conditions necessary for your analysis are

The conditions necessary for the analysis are met.

The probability the newspaper’s sample will lead them to predict defeat is 0.7881

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

population proportion; μ = 52% = 0.52

Sample size;n = 400

The conditions are;

10% conditon: sample size is less than 10% of the population size

Success or failure condition; np = 400 x 0.52 = 208 and n(1 - p) = 400(1 - 0.52) = 192.

Both values are greater than 10

Randomization condition; we assume that the voters were randomly selected.

So the conditions are met.

Now, the standard deviation is gotten from;

σ = √((p(1 - p)/n)

where;

p is the population proportion

n is the sample size

σ is standard deviation

Thus;

σ = √((0.52(1 - 0.52)/400)

σ = √((0.52(0.48)/400)

σ = 0.025

Now to find the z-value, we'll use;

P(p^ > 0.5) = P(z > (x - μ)/σ)

Thus;

P(p^ > 0.5) = P(z > (0.5 - 0.52)/0.025)

This gives;

P(p^ > 0.5) = P(z > - 0.8)

This gives;

P(p^ > 0.5) = 1 - P(z < -0.8)

From the table attached we have a z value of 0.21186

Thus;

P(p^ > 0.5) = 1 - 0.21186 = 0.7881

Thus, the probability the newspaper’s sample will lead them to predict defeat is 0.7871

The probability, P that the newspaper's sample will lead them to predict defeat is  0.21186

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have

p = 52%, therefore np = 208 Voters

q = 1 - p = 1 - 0.52 = 0.48

nq = 0.48×400 = 192 Voters

Therefore, as np and nq are both > 10 the conditions for approximation to normality are met

We therefore have

μ = 0.52 and

σ =

The z score is therefore;

The probability the newspaper's sample will lead them to predict defeat is given by P(Z < -0.8) = 0.21186.

the most boring thing ever written

step-by-step explanation:

i am writing something. yes, i plan to make it the most boring thing ever written. i go to the store. a car is parked. many cars are parked or moving. some are blue. some are tan. they have windows. in the store, there are items for sale. these include such things as soap, detergent, magazines, and lettuce. you can enhance your life with these products. soap can be used for bathing, be it in a bathtub or in a shower. apply the soap to your body and rinse. detergent is used to wash clothes. place your dirty clothes into a washing machine and add some detergent as directed on the box. select the appropriate settings on your washing machine and you should be ready to begin. magazines are stapled reading material made with glossy paper, and they cover a wide variety of topics, ranging from news and politics to business and stock market information. some magazines are concerned with more recreational topics, like sports card collecting or different kinds of hairstyles. lettuce is a vegetable.
