Answer from: Tatimary24174

(a) The value of P (0.41 < $\hat p$ < 0.53) is 0.6444.

(b) The value of P ( $\hat p$ < 0.40) is 0.0049.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Central limit theorem, if from an unknown population large samples of sizes n > 30, are selected and the sample proportion for each sample is computed then the sampling distribution of sample proportion follows a Normal distribution.

The mean of this sampling distribution of sample proportion is:

$\mu_{\hat p}=p$

The standard deviation of this sampling distribution of sample proportion is:

$\sigma_{\hat p}=\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}$

Given that: p = 0.46.

(a)

The sample size is n = 60 > 30. So the central limit theorem can be applied to approximate the sampling distribution of sample proportion by a Normal distribution.

Compute the value of P (0.41 < $\hat p$ < 0.53) as follows:

P(0.41

=P(-0.78

Thus, the value of P (0.41 < $\hat p$ < 0.53) is 0.6444.

(b)

The sample size is n = 458 > 30. So the central limit theorem can be applied to approximate the sampling distribution of sample proportion by a Normal distribution.

Compute the value of P ( $\hat p$ < 0.40) as follows:

$P(\hat p$

=P(Z

Thus, the value of P ( $\hat p$ < 0.40) is 0.0049.

(c)

The sample size is n = 1350 > 30. So the central limit theorem can be applied to approximate the sampling distribution of sample proportion by a Normal distribution.

Compute the value of P ( $\hat p$ > 0.49) as follows:

$P(\hat p0.49)=P(\frac{\hat p-\mu_{\hat p}}{\sigma_{\hat p}}\frac{0.49-0.46}{\sqrt{\frac{0.46(1-0.46)}{1350}}})$

=P(Z

Thus, the value of P ( $\hat p$ > 0.49) is 0.9826.

Answer from: Quest

2 over 5

step-by-step explanation:

the 2: 3 ratio is the length of the ac segment to the cb segment total length. this implies that the ratio between segment ac length and segment ab length is 2: 5. point c is 2/5 from a to b, so the required fraction is 2/5.
