A police officer wants to know the proportion of crimes that are burglaries within the last five years. She randomly selects 40 records from a database of all crimes and checks their records. She finds that 30% of the crimes were labeled as burglary within the last five years. Select one: a. Yes b. No, because it wasn't a random sample. c. No, because n(p-hat) 10 or níq-hat) 10 d. No, because the sample size wasn't at least 30 and the population wasn't normally distributed. e. No, because we already know the population proportion

a. Yes

See explanation below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that if the question is if we can use the normal approximation for the true proportion.

For this case we have n = 40 and p = 0.3 (probability of success)

We need to check some conditions:

1) Random sample : This condition is satisfied since the problem says that she randomly select 40 records

2)

3) 10% condition: the random sample is assumed to be less than 10% of the original population size (assumed)

The population proportion have the following distribution  

So then as we can see the normal approximation for this case makes sense since we have all the 3 conditions satisfied so then the answer would be:

a. Yes

answer: i don't understand it

step-by-step explanation: sorry

answer: a. 13/44

step-by-step explanation: judging by the information given to us, we are looking for experimental probability. we can see that 13 males have chosen chocolate ice cream. there are 44 ice creams in total (remember that the total is always the denominator). so our answer is 13/44.
