A statistician calculates that 9% of Americans are vegetarians. If the statistician is correct, what is the probability that the proportion of vegetarians in a sample of 471 Americans would be greater than 8%

The probability that the proportion of vegetarians in a sample of 471 Americans would be greater than 8% is P=0.776.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to calculate a probability that a sample of n=471 has a proportion greater than 8%, given that the population proportion is 9%.

First, we have to calculate the parameters of the sampling distribution of the proportions:

Now, we can calculate the probability using the z-score:

Then, the probability is:

the equation of the parallel line would be y = 2x + 9

step-by-step explanation:

to start we need to find the slope of the original line. we can do that by looking at the coefficient of x, which is 2

since the slope of the original line is 2 and parallel lines have the same slope, we know the new line will also have 2 slope. now we can use that along with the point given in point-slope form to get the find equation.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 5 = 2(x + 2)

y - 5 = 2x + 4

y = 2x + 9

the five is the numerator
