0.36% probability that fewer than half in your sample will watch news videos

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, i am going to use the binomial approximation to the normal.

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

Can be approximated to a normal distribution, using the expected value and the standard deviation.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

E(X) = np

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

$\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}$

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

When we are approximating a binomial distribution to a normal one, we have that $\mu = E(X)$ , $\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)}$ .

In this problem, we have that:

n = 250, p = 0.58

$\mu = E(X) = 250*0.58 = 145$

$\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{250*0.58*0.42} = 7.80$

If the population proportion of adults who watch news videos is 0.58, what is the probability that fewer than half in your sample will watch news videos

Half: 0.5*250 = 125

Less than half is 124 or less

So this is the pvalue of Z when X = 124

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{124 - 145}{7.8}$

Z = -2.69

Z = -2.69 has a pvalue of 0.0036

0.36% probability that fewer than half in your sample will watch news videos

Answer from: Quest

x = 2

step-by-step explanation:

if sr parallel to ba then the sides bc and ac are in proportion, that is

$\frac{sb}{cs}$ = $\frac{ra}{cr}$ ← substitute values

$\frac{4x+1}{2x}$ = $\frac{13.5}{6}$ ( cross- multiply )

27x = 6(4x + 1)

27x = 24x + 6 ( subtract 24x from both sides )

3x = 6 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 2

$\boxed{\bold{2240a^4u^{18}w^3x^4}}$

explanation:

remove parenthesis: $\bold{\left(a\right)=a,\: -\left(-a\right)=a}$

= $\bold{4u^9w^1\cdot \: 7x^4\cdot \: 4a^3w^2\cdot \: 8\cdot \frac{1}{2}a^1\cdot \: 5u^9}$

apply rule $\bold{a^1=a}$

= $\bold{4\cdot \: 7\cdot \: 4\cdot \: 8\cdot \: 5\cdot \frac{1}{2}a^3au^9u^9w^2wx^4}$

multiply fractions: $\bold{\: a\cdot \frac{b}{c}=\frac{a\: \cdot \: b}{c}}$

= $\bold{\frac{1\cdot \: 4u^9w\cdot \: 7x^4\cdot \: 4a^3w^2\cdot \: 8a\cdot \: 5u^9}{2}}$

$\bold{1\cdot \: 4u^9w\cdot \: 7x^4\cdot \: 4a^3w^2\cdot \: 8a\cdot \: 5u^9: \ 4480x^4w^3a^4u^{18}}$

= $\bold{\frac{4480a^4u^{18}w^3x^4}{2}}$

divide: $\bold{\frac{4480}{2}=2240}$

= $\bold{2240a^4u^{18}w^3x^4}$

mordancy.
