A research firm has determined that 80% of telephone
respondents will agree to answer an opinion poll. If 20
people are contacted, what is the probability that exactly 14
people agree to be polled?

Answers

Answer 1

The probability that out of 20, 14 agree to answer is:

P(14) = 0.109

How to find the probability?

We know that the 80% of the respondents will agree to answer the opinion poll (and 20% don't).

Then the probability that a random respondent agrees to answer the poll is 0.8

Now, the probability that out of 20, 14 agree to answer, is:

[tex]P(14) = C(20, 14)*(0.8)^{14}*(0.2)^6[/tex]

Where C(20, 14) is the number of different combinations of 14 elements that we can make out of the 20 elements (the number of permutations).

[tex]C(20, 14) = \frac{20!}{(20 - 14)!*14!} = \frac{20*19*18*17*16*15}{6*5*4*3*2} = 38,760[/tex]

Replacing that in the probability, we get:

[tex]P(14) = 38,760*(0.8)^{14}*(0.2)^6 = 0.109[/tex]

A quality control manager at a tortilla company wants to estimate the mean diameter of the tortillas
produced by a certain machine. The manager is deciding between a 90% confidence level and a 95%
confidence level. Compared to a 90% confidence interval, a 95% confidence interval will be,,

a. Narrower and the margin of error would increase
b. Wider and the margin of error would increase
c. Narrower and the margin of error would decrease
d. Wider and the margin of error would decrease

Answers

Answer:

C. Narrower and the margin of error would decrease

The required, option b (wider and the margin of error would increase) is the correct answer.

What is the margin of error?

In statistics, the margin of error (MOE) is the degree of uncertainty associated with a statistical estimate, usually an estimate of a population parameter based on a sample of data. It is the range of values above and below a sample statistic that is likely to contain the true population parameter with a certain level of confidence.

Compared to a 90% confidence interval, a 95% confidence interval will be wider and the margin of error would increase.

This is because a higher confidence level requires a larger range of possible values to be included in the interval, which in turn leads to a wider interval. With a higher confidence level, the z-score used to calculate the margin of error increases, resulting in a larger margin of error.

Therefore, option b (wider and the margin of error would increase) is the correct answer.

A spy realizes his cover is blown and flees toward his secret evacuation spot at a speed of 60 mph. Two hours later, a special agent in a helicopter starts chasing the spy. The special agent travels the same route at a speed of 90 mph.


A What distance does the spy cover in t hours?
B What distance does the special agent cover in t hours?
C How fast is the distance between them reducing
D How far apart are the spy and special agent when the chase begins?
E How long does it take the special agent to catch the spy?
F At what speed should the special agent chase the spy if the evacuation spot is 240 miles from the setting point

Answers

The spy will cover a distance of 60t in t hours and the special agent will cover a distance of 90t in t hours.

What is distance?

Distance is actually known as the amount of space between two points. When calculating speed, it is given as:

Speed = distance ÷ time

The spy's distance in t hours:

Distance = 60 × t = 60t.

The special agent's distance in t hours:

Distance = 90 × t = 90t

The distance between them will be =

Distance of special agent minus distance of the spy: 90t - 60t = 30t.

By the time the chase begins, the distance between the spy and special agent will be:

(2 × 60mph) - 0 = 120m - 0.

= 120m.

Time taken for the special agent to catch the spy: 120 + 60t = 90t

120 = 90t - 60t

120 = 30t

t = 120/30 = 4 hours.

Speed the special agent should chase the spy:

Distance = 240 miles

Time = 4 hours.

Then Speed = 240/4 = 60mph.

The perimeter of the figure below is 84.6 ft. Find the length of the missing side.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a geometrical figure is calculated by adding all side lengths up:

The perimeter of the figure in question is 84.6 ft.

2*(3.4) + 2*(11.3) + 6*(6.8) + (7.1) + ? = 84.6 (it's easier if we write equal terms in multiplying form)

Answer:

36

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a Linear Pair. Adjacent (next to) angles that form a straight line. A good rule of thumb for 90% of Geometry, angle relationships are usually either supplementary or congruent. In this case, since they together form a straight line, they are supplementary.

x + 4x = 180

180/5 = 36

If you plug these numbers in, you have a 36 degree angle and a 144 degree angle (sum of 180). Easy way to check your work if ever unsure.

In a school there are 1970 pupils. If there are 799 boys, how many more girls are there than boys?

Explanation:


Subtract 799 from 1970, and you get 1171.



Subtract 799 from 1171 and you get your answer, which is 372.

As per linear equation, there are 372 more girls in school than boys.

What is a linear equation?

"A linear equation is an equation in which the highest power of the variable is always 1. It is also known as a one-degree equation. The standard form of a linear equation in one variable is of the form Ax + B = 0. Here, x is a variable, A is a coefficient and B is constant."

Given, there are 1970 pupils.

There are 799 boys in the school.

Therefore, the number of girls in the school is

[tex]= (1970-799)\\= 1171[/tex]

Therefore, the number of girls more than boys in the school is

[tex]= (1171-799)\\= 372[/tex]

In that school , there are 372 more girls than total number of the boys.

Here, angles A is 23 degrees. What can we say about other angles B and C…. Help please

Answers

Answer:

Both are 157 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

A and B form a linear pair, meaning together they should create 180 degrees. 180 - 23 = 157. Since B and C are vertical angles, they must both be the same. A vertical angle is when two angles are on opposite sides.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Linear pair: Two angles form linear pair if they are adjacent angles and their non common arms are opposite rays.

a +b = 180      {Linear pair}

23 + b = 180

       b = 180 - 23

b = 157°

c = b   {Vertically opposite angles are congruent}

c = 157°
