A political scientist wants to estimate the percent of registered voters in Florida who plan to vote for a particular candidate. The political scientist interviews 4000 randomly selected registered voters in Florida and asks who they plan to vote for. 58% say they plan to vote for the candidate. Which of the following statements is true?

a. 58% is a parameter because it describes a population characteristic.
b. 58% is a statistic because it describes a sample characteristic.
c. 58% is a statistic because it describes a population characteristic.
d. 58% is a parameter because it describes a samic characteristic.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

b.) 58% is a statistic because it describes a sample characteristic.

Step-by-step explanation:

The randomly selected 4000 voters represents a randomly selected observations from the population of registered voters

Hence, 4000 is a sample.

The percentage of voters who would vote for a particular candidate represents a numerical characteristic derived from the sample drawn.

Recall that, numerical characteristics or values which are calculated from the sample is known as statistic while those derived from the population are called parameter.

Hence, 58% is a statistic as it describes a sample characteristic.

Answer 2

You can use definition of parameter and statistic and then can use them to find what does 58% denotes here.

The true statement is given by:

Option B: 58% is a statistic because it describes a sample characteristic.

What is a population and parameter?

The entire group or system which we are taking in consideration is population. Nothing bigger than it lies there in consideration.

Ex: If we're taking about health problem in a country, then the whole country people form a population.

If we're taking about numbers on a 6 face die, then those 6 numbers on 6 faces form a population.

Those numbers who summarize information about population are called parameter.

What is sample and statistic?

A portion of population taken and analyzed to predict information about population is called sample of that population.

Ex: When someone surveys a group, then he/she surveys a portion and not whole population in general.

Those numbers who summarize information about sample are called statistic.

(Statistic is different than statistics)

Using above definitions to conclude what 58% refers to

Since the 58% is from the 4000 people randomly selected by the political scientist, thus, it is information about sample and thus, is a statistic.

Thus,

The true statement is given by:

Option B: 58% is a statistic because it describes a sample characteristic.

Answer:

B)  81°

Step-by-step explanation:

∡1 ≅ ∡5 because they are corresponding angles

∡5 ≅ ∡7 because they are vertical angles

therefore, ∡1 ≅ ∡7

since the angles are equal we can create the following equation:

3x + 18 = 2x + 39

x + 18 = 39

x = 21

∡7 = 2(21) + 39

∡7 = 42 + 39

∡7 = 81

Predict whether the product is greater than, less than, or equal to 2/3

Answers

Answer:

Greater than.

1 1/27 or 28/27.

Step-by-step explanation:

You're multiplying more than 2/3, so it is greater than.

2/3 x 1 5/9 is the same as 2/3 x 14/9. The answer to this is 28/27. Simplify to a mixed number which is 1 1/27.

Hope it helps!

Answer:

2/3 is less than and the answer is 28/27 = 1  1/27 = 2/3 x 1  5/9

Step-by-step explanation:

2/3 x 1  5/9 = 28/27 = 2/3 x 14/9 = 1  1/27

2/3  ≤ 28/27 = 1  5/9

0.4y − 0.2y + 10 = 11.8

Answers

Answer:

0.2y+10

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

We have this equation:

0.4y - 0.2y + 10 = 11.8

You can simplify

0.2y + 10 = 11.8

Then, you can substract 10 in both sides:

0.2y = 11.8 - 10

0.2y = 1.8

You can now divide right and left side by 0.2 and get y:

0.2y/0.2 = 1.8/0.2

y =  14

It is estimated that 3% of the athletes competing in a large tournament are users of an illegal drug to enhance performance. Athletes are tested to see if they are using illegal drugs or not using illegal drugs and the test can come back positive or negative. The test for this drug is 90% accurate for non-drug users (this means there is a 90% chance the test comes back negative if the person is a non-user). What is the probability that an athlete tests negative and is not a user of an illegal drug

Answers

Answer:

0.873 = 87.3% probability that an athlete tests negative and is not a user of an illegal drug

Step-by-step explanation:

Conditional Probability

We use the conditional probability formula to solve this question. It is

[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}[/tex]

In which

P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened.

[tex]P(A \cap B)[/tex] is the probability of both A and B happening.

P(A) is the probability of A happening.

In this question:

Event A: Not a user of an illegal drug.

Event B: Tests negative.

The test for this drug is 90% accurate for non-drug users (this means there is a 90% chance the test comes back negative if the person is a non-user)

This means that [tex]P(B|A) = 0.9[/tex]

It is estimated that 3% of the athletes competing in a large tournament are users of an illegal drug to enhance performance.

So 100 - 3 = 97% probability that the athlete does not use the drug, so [tex]P(A) = 0.97[/tex]

What is the probability that an athlete tests negative and is not a user of an illegal drug

[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}[/tex]

[tex]P(A \cap B) = 0.9*0.97 = 0.873[/tex]

0.873 = 87.3% probability that an athlete tests negative and is not a user of an illegal drug

A sample of assistant professors on the business faculty at state supported institutions in Ohio revealed the mean income to be $32,000 for 9 months with a standard deviation of $3,000. Using Chebyshev's Theorem, what is the proportion of faculty that earns more than $25,250 but less than $38,750

Answers

Answer:

The proportion of faculty that earns more than $25,250 but less than $38,750 is 0.8025.

Step-by-step explanation:

Chebyshev Theorem

The Chebyshev Theorem can also be applied to non-normal distribution. It states that:

At least 75% of the measures are within 2 standard deviations of the mean.

At least 89% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

An in general terms, the percentage of measures within k standard deviations of the mean is given by [tex]100(1 - \frac{1}{k^{2}})[/tex].

In this question, we have that:

Mean of 32000, Standard deviation of 3000.

Using Chebyshev's Theorem, what is the proportion of faculty that earns more than $25,250 but less than $38,750

This is within 38,750 - 32,000 = 32,000 - 25,250 = $6,750 of the mean.

Value of k:

This is k standard deviations from the mean. k is given by:

[tex]k = \frac{6750}{3000} = 2.25[/tex]

Proportion:

The percentage is:

[tex]p = 100(1 - \frac{1}{(2.25)^{2}}) = 80.25[/tex].

So the proportion is 0.8025
