Exit polling is a popular technique used to determine the outcome of an election prior to results being tallied. Suppose a referendum to increase funding for education is on the ballot in a large town​ (voting population over​ 100,000). An exit poll of 200 voters finds that 94 voted for the referendum. How likely are the results of your sample if the population proportion of voters in the town in favor of the referendum is 0.52​? Based on your​ result, comment on the dangers of using exit polling to call elections.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

P(X ≤ 94) =  0.09012

From what we observe; There is a probability  of less than 94 people who voted for the referendum is 0.09012

Comment:

The result is unusual because the probability that p is equal to or more extreme than the sample proportion is greater than 5%. Thus, it is not unusual for a wrong call to be made in an election if the exit polling alone is considered.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information given :

An exit poll of 200 voters finds that 94 voted for the referendum.

How likely are the results of your sample if the population proportion of voters in the town in favor of the referendum is 0.52​? Based on your​ result, comment on the dangers of using exit polling to call elections.

This implies that ;

the Sample size n = 200

the probability p = 0.52

Let X be the random variable

So; the Binomial expression can be represented as:

X [tex]\sim[/tex] Binomial ( n = 200, p = 0.52)

Mean [tex]\mu[/tex] = np

Mean [tex]\mu[/tex]  = 200 × 0.52

Mean [tex]\mu[/tex]  = 104

The standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{np(1-p)}[/tex]

The standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{200 \times 0.52(1-0.52)}[/tex]

The standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{200 \times 0.52(0.48)}[/tex]

The standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{49.92}[/tex]

The standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex] = 7.065

However;

P(X ≤ 94) because the discrete distribution by the continuous normal distribution values lies in the region of 93.5 and 94.5 .

The less than or equal to sign therefore relates to the continuous normal distribution of X < 94.5

Now;

x = 94.5

Therefore;

[tex]z = \dfrac{x- \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]z = \dfrac{94.5 - 104}{7.065}[/tex]

[tex]z = \dfrac{-9.5}{7.065}[/tex]

z = −1.345

P(X< 94.5) = P(Z < - 1.345)

From the z- table

P(X ≤ 94) =  0.09012

From what we observe; There is a probability  of less than 94 people who voted for the referendum is 0.09012

Comment:

The result is unusual because the probability that p is equal to or more extreme than the sample proportion is greater than 5%. Thus, it is not unusual for a wrong call to be made in an election if the exit polling alone is considered.

Which statement below is NOT true for the graph of a quadratic function? a) the axis of symmetry intersects the parabola at the vertex b) when the coefficient of x^2 is positive, the vertex of the parabola is a minimum point c)The vertex of a parabola is its highest or lowest level d) the parabola is symmetrical about the y-axis

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

All of these statements about a vertical parabola with known vertex are true.

The statement which is not always true about the graph of a quadratic function is option d) the parabola is symmetrical about the y-axis.

What is Parabola?

A parabola is a open U shaped curve on a plane where all the points on the curve will be at an equal distance from a fixed point called focus and a fixed line called directrix.

Vertex of a parabola is the point where the parabola intersects with it's line of symmetry. So the vertex will always lie at the maximum point or the minimum point.

Axis of symmetry is the line that passes through the vertex of a parabola.

Graph of the quadratic equation will always be a parabola.

When the coefficient of x² is positive, then the vertex of the parabola will be at a minimum point and if the coefficient is negative, then the vertex will be at a maximum point.

The parabola is symmetrical to y axis only if the vertex of the parabola lies on the Y axis. So it will not be always true.

Hence the statement the parabola is symmetrical about the y-axis is not always true.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the first step, they added 28 to both sides of the equation to get rid of the -28 on the left side. Next, they subtracted 4x from both sides to get rid of the 4x on the left side. They are doing this so that they can isolate y on one side. Isolating y basically means that you need to get all of the y terms on one side and all of the non-y terms on the other side. Next, they divided the entire equation by 8 to get rid of the 8 in 8y. Finally, since y and f(x) are the same thing, they simply substituted f(x) for y.

Since the triangles are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is

20(32 + ?) = 1760 ( divide both sides by 20 )

The question is incomplete. the complete question is as follows:

The cell cycle is the process by which a single cell replicates itself. A student investigates whether cell growth during the cell cycle is linear or exponential. The table at the left gives the length, in micrometers, of an S. pombe (yeast) cell at different times after the cell cycle begins. Which of the following best describes the relationship between time and length of this cell?  

A.  It is linear because the length increases by the same factor every 10 minutes.

B.  It is linear because the length increases by the same number of micrometers every 10 minutes.

C.  It is exponential because the length increases by the same factor every 10 minutes.

D.  It is exponential because the length increases by the same number of micrometers every 10 minutes.

Answer:

C.  It is exponential because the length increases by the same factor every 10 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the data shown, the relationship between time and length of this cell is exponential.

The relationship is exponential because the length increases by the same factor every 10 minutes.

The growth of the cell is exponential it means the optimal conditions are provided to the cell for their growth.

Hence, the correct answer is "C.  It is exponential because the length increases by the same factor every 10 minutes."

Start time of flight = 9:30 a.m

Arrival time of flight = 1:45p.m

Gallons of gas used during duration of flight = 51 gallons

Number of hours spent during flight:

Arrival time - start time

1:45 pm - 9:30 am = 4hours and 15minutes

4hours 15minutes = 4.25hours

If 4.25hours requires 51 gallons of gas;

Then 1 hour will require ( 51 / 4.25)gallons

= 51 / 4.25

On a separate piece of graph paper, graph y = |x - 3|; then click on the graph until the correct one appears.


ps : there's another picture it just didn't let me edit it its the opposite side of the shape facing up the graph.

Answers

Answer: Graph is shown in the attached image below

This is a V shaped graph with the vertex at (3,0). The V opens upward

Explanation:

The equation y = |x-3| is the result of shifting the parent function y = |x| three units to the right. The vertex moves from (0,0) to (3,0). The "x-3" portion moves the xy axis three units to the left. If we held the V shape in place while the xy axis moved like this, then it gives the illusion the V shape moved 3 spots to the right.

Side note: the equation y = |x-3| is composed of two linear functions y = x-3 and y = -x+3. The value of x will determine which gets graphed. When x < 3, then we'll graph y = -x+3; otherwise we graph y = x-3. This is known as a piecewise function.
