that 45% of adult Americans believe that the overall state of moral values in the United States is poor. (a) Compute the mean and standard deviation of the random variable X, the number of adults who believe that the overall state of moral values in the United States is poor based on a random sample of 500 adult Americans.

a) The mean is 225 and the standard deviation is 11.12.

b) It means that in samples of 500 adult Americans, the number of those who believe that the overall state of moral values in the United States is poor is expected to be around 225.

c) No, since 240 is less than 2.5 standard deviations from the mean.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each adult American, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they believe the overall state of moral values in the US is poor, or they do not. The adults are independent of other adults. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

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:

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

In the binomial distribution, a value is considered to be unusual if it is more than 2.5 standard deviations from the mean.

45% of adult Americans believe that the overall state of moral values in the United States is poor.

This means that p = 0.45

(a) Compute the mean and standard deviation of the random variable X, the number of adults who believe that the overall state of moral values in the United States is poor based on a random sample of 500 adult Americans.

Sample of 500 means that n = 500

Mean:

E(X) = np = 500*0.45 = 225

Standard deviation:

$\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{500*0.45*0.55} = 11.12$

The mean is 225 and the standard deviation is 11.12.

(b) Interpret the mean.

It means that in samples of 500 adult Americans, the number of those who believe that the overall state of moral values in the United States is poor is expected to be around 225.

(c) Would it be unusual to identify 240 adult Americans who believe that the overall state of moral values in the United States is poor based on a random sample of 500 adult Americans

2.5 standard deviations above the mean is:

225 + 2.5*11.12 = 252.8

So 253 or more would be unusual, 240 no.

Answer from: Quest

hence, the required result is $b-a=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1& 1& -2\\1& 1& -2\\1& 1& -2\end{array}\right]$

step-by-step explanation:

suppose we have two matrices a and b

we will assume the two matrices

$a=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1& 2& 3\\4& 5& 6\\7& 8& 9\end{array}\right]$

$b=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2& 3& 1\\5& 6& 4\\8& 9& 7\end{array}\right]$

we have to compute b-a which means subtracting corresponding elements of a from b.

$b=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2& 3& 1\\5& 6& 4\\8& 9& 7\end{array}\right]$ - $a=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1& 2& 3\\4& 5& 6\\7& 8& 9\end{array}\right]$

$b-a=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1& 1& -2\\1& 1& -2\\1& 1& -2\end{array}\right]$

Aspacecraft can attain a stable orbit 300 kilometers above earth if it reaches a velocity of 7.7 kilometers per second. the formula for a rocket's maximum velocity v in kilometers per second is vequalsminus0.0098tplusc ln upper r, where t is the firing time in seconds, c is the velocity of the exhaust in kilometers per second, and r is the ratio of the mass of the rocket filled with fuel to the mass of the rocket without fuel. find the velocity of a spacecraft whose booster rocket has a mass ratio of 20, an exhaust velocity of 2.1 km/s, and a firing time of 15 s. can the spacecraft achieve a stable orbit 300 km above earth?
