2.24 Exit poll: Edison Research gathered exit poll results from several sources for the Wisconsin recall election of Scott Walker. They found that 57% of the respondents voted in favor of Scott Walker. Additionally, they estimated that of those who did vote in favor for Scott Walker, 33% had a college degree, while 45% of those who voted against Scott Walker had a college degree. Suppose we randomly sampled a person who participated in the exit poll and found that he had a college degree. What is the probability that he voted in favor of Scott Walker? (please round to 4 decimal places)
Answer:
0.4929 = 49.29% probability that he voted in favor of Scott Walker
Step-by-step explanation:
Bayes Theorem:
Two events, A and B.
[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{P(B)*P(A|B)}{P(A)}[/tex]
In which P(B|A) is the probability of B happening when A has happened and P(A|B) is the probability of A happening when B has happened.
In this question:
Event A: Having a college degree.
Event B: Voting for Scott Walker.
They found that 57% of the respondents voted in favor of Scott Walker.
This means that [tex]P(B) = 0.57[/tex]
Additionally, they estimated that of those who did vote in favor for Scott Walker, 33% had a college degree
This means that [tex]P(A|B) = 0.33[/tex]
Probability of having a college degree.
33% of those who voted for Scott Walker(57%).
45% of those who voted against Scott Walker(100 - 57 = 43%). So
[tex]P(A) = 0.33*0.57 + 0.45*0.43 = 0.3816[/tex]
What is the probability that he voted in favor of Scott Walker?
[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{0.57*0.33}{0.3816} = 0.4929[/tex]
0.4929 = 49.29% probability that he voted in favor of Scott Walker

Answer:
Do you mean "Riley has a farm on a rectangular piece of land that is 200 meters wide. This area is divided into two parts: A square area where she grows avocados (whose side is the same as the length of the farm), and the remaining area where she lives.
Every week, Riley spends $3 per square meter on the area where she lives, and earns $7 per square meter from the area where she grows avocados. That way, she manages to save some money every week." ?

Answer:
B. F(x) = 3(x - 2)² - 2
Step-by-step explanation:
→The function F(x) narrowed, meaning the absolute value being multiplied to the function is greater than 1.
→The function F(x) flipped over the x-axis, this means that the number being multiplied has to be a negative.
→The function F(x) shifted to the left 2 units, this means there needs to be a 2 being added.
→The function F(x) shifted downwards 2 units, meaning there needs to be a 2 being subtracted from the whole function.
This gives us the correct answer of "B. F(x) = 3(x - 2)² - 2."

Use z scores to compare the given values. Based on sample data, newborn males have weights with a mean of 3259.6 g and a standard deviation of 722.4 g. Newborn females have weights with a mean of 3031.2 g and a standard deviation of 495.9 g. Who has the weight that is more extreme relative to the group from which they came: a male who weighs 1700 g or a female who weighs 1700 g? Since the z score for the male is zequals nothing and the z score for the female is zequals nothing, the female female male has the weight that is more extreme.
Answer:
Since the z score for the male is z=-2.1589 and the z score for the female is z=-2.6844, the female has the weight that is more extreme.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the z score, we use the following equation:
[tex]z=\frac{x-m}{s}[/tex]
Where m is the mean and s is the standard deviation.
So, the z score for a male who weighs 1700 g is:
[tex]z=\frac{1700-3259.6}{722.4}=-2.1589[/tex]
At the same way, the z score for a female who weighs 1700 g is:
[tex]z=\frac{1700-3031.2}{495.9}=-2.6844[/tex]
Finally, -2.6844 is farther from zero than -2.1589, so the female has the weight that is more extreme.

I need help solving this problem. It tells me that I could use any method provided above but I don't really get it. Could someone help?
The Problem:
You have to be careful when using a ladder. If you place the ladder too close to the wall, it could tip over. If you place the ladder too far from the wall, it could slide down. To prevent this, safety experts recommend the 4-to-1 Rule: for every 4 feet you want to go up the wall, place the base of the ladder one foot away from the wall.
The longest ladder available at many hardware stores is 40 feet. What is the highest you could reach with this ladder?
The problem gives me three methods to pick from to solve the problem. Each method had a clue underneath.
Hints:
Method 1: Know that the height must be 4x the base. Also know that hypotenuse is the longest side, so height must be shorter than 40 (and base must be shorter than 10 feet).
Method 2: Base^2+Height^2=40^2
Height= 4 • base
Method 3:
Base^2+Height^2=40^2
Base= 0.25 • height
The answers this problem asks for is:
The base, height and length.
Answer:
The highest you could reach with this ladder is 30 feet or 9.14 meters.

To ______ a function, you need to stretch or compress it
Answer: It’s to change the shape of a function
Step-by-step explanation:
To change the shape of a function, you need to stretch or compress it.
How to stretch or compress a function?In math terms, you can stretch or compress a function horizontally by multiplying x by some number before any other operations. To stretch the function, multiply by a fraction between 0 and 1. To compress the function, multiply by some number greater than 1.
Is there a function for every shape?By definition, a function has one possible output for any given input. So if you want your function defined as some y=f(x), then not every shape can be written as a function. Any shape that has two points directly above each other (relative to the x-axis) cannot be written as a function, even a piecewise one.

One day Pat Unger worked for a total of 8
hours. She worked 3 hours more in the after-
noon than she worked in the morning. How
long did she work in the afternoon?
Answer:
5.5 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the no. of hours worked in morning by Pat = x hours
given that "She worked 3 hours more in the after-
noon than she worked in the morning"
No. of hours worked in Afternoon by Pat = x + 3 hours
Total hours worked in the day = x + x+3 = 2x +3 hours (1)
It is given that Pat worked for 8 hours that day (2)
thus, using 1 and 2 we have
2x +3 = 8
=>2x = 8 - 3 = 5
=> x = 5/2 = 2.5
no. of hours worked in morning by Pat = x hours = 2.5 hours
No. of hours worked in Afternoon by Pat = x + 3 hours = 2.5 + 3 hours
No. of hours worked in Afternoon by Pat = 5.5 hours --- Answer.

We are planning on introducing a new internet device that should drastically reduce the amount of viruses on personal computers. We think the price should be $39.99, but are not sure on the percentage of people that would buy it. We do some research and find the following information; Studies from the 1930’s indicate that percentage should be between 30% and 40% Similar products were launched recently at a price of $4,000 and nobody bought it. A nationwide poll on this type of product and price was run earlier this year, with percentages running from 75% to 80%. We are going to conduct an additional focus group before we launch the product. What should the sample size be if we want a 95% CI to be within 5% of the actual value?
Answer:
The sample size required is 289.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let p be population proportion of people that would buy the product.
It is provided that the nationwide poll on this type of product and price was run earlier this year, with percentages running from 75% to 80%.
Assume that the sample proportion of people that would buy the product is, [tex]\hat p=0.75[/tex].
A 95% Confidence Interval is to be constructed with a margin of error of 5%.
We need to determine the sample size required for the 95% Confidence Interval to be within 5% of the actual value.
The formula to compute the margin of error for a (1 - α)% confidence interval of population proportion is:
[tex]MOE=z_{\alpha/2}\times\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}[/tex]
The critical value of z for 95% confidence interval is,
z = 1.96.
Compute the sample size required as follows:
[tex]MOE=z_{\alpha/2}\times\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}[/tex]
[tex]n=[\frac{z_{\alpha/2}\ \sqrt{\hat p(1-\hat p)} }{MOE}]^{2}[/tex]
[tex]=[\frac{1.96\cdot \sqrt{0.75(1-0.75)} }{0.05}]^{2}\\\\=(16.9741)^{2}\\\\=288.12007081\\\\\approx 289[/tex]
Thus, the sample size required is 289.

Find the slope of this curve where it meets the right pole. (Round to 3 decimal places.] b. (3 pts.) Find the angle between the line and the right pole. [Give your answer in degrees, rounded to the nearest hundredth.) Expert Answer
Answer:
The slope of this curve where it meets the right pole is 1.130
The angle between the line and the right pole is 41.51 °
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that ;
[tex]y = 30 \ cos h (\dfrac{x}{15} - 4)[/tex]
[tex]\dfrac{dy}{dx}= \dfrac{30}{15} sinh(\dfrac{x}{15})[/tex]
[tex]\dfrac{dy}{dx}=2 \ sinh(\dfrac{x}{15})[/tex]
x = 9 m;( i.e half of the distance of the two poles at 18 meters apart.
[tex]\dfrac{dy}{dx}=2 \ sinh(\dfrac{9}{15})[/tex]
= 1.130
The slope of this curve where it meets the right pole is 1.130
The angle between the line an the right rope can be determined by using the tangent of the slope .
tan ∝ = 1.130
∝ = tan⁻¹ (1.130)
∝ = 48.49°
The angle is θ; so
θ = 90 - ∝
θ = 90 - 48.49°
θ = 41.51 °
Thus; the angle between the line and the right pole is 41.51 °
Given the following information, find the probability that a randomly selected dog will be a golden retriever or a poodle. Number of dogs who are poodles: 31, golden retrievers: 58, beagles: 20, pugs: 38a) 39.5%b) 60.5%c) 58.0%d) 46.9%
Answer: a) 39.5%
Step-by-step explanation:
For random selections, we assume that all the dogs have the same probability of being selected.
In this case, the probability will be equal to the number of golden retrievers divided the total number of dogs.
We have 58 golden retrievers, and the total number of dogs is:
31 + 58 +20 + 38 = 147
Then the probability is:
P = 58/147 = 0.395
If we multiply it by 100%, we obtain the percentage form:
0.395*100% = 39.5%
So the correct option is a.
A college basketball player makes 80% of his freethrows. Over the course of the season he will attempt 100 freethrows. Assuming free throw attempts are independent, the probability that the number of free throws he makes exceeds 80 is approximately:____________.
A) 0.2000
B) 0.2266
C) 0.5000
D) 0.7734
Answer:
The probability that the number of free throws he makes exceeds 80 is approximately 0.50
Step-by-step explanation:
According to the given data we have the following:
P(Make a Throw) = 0.80%
n=100
Binomial distribution:
mean: np = 0.80*100= 80
hence, standard deviation=√np(1-p)=√80*0.20=4
Therefore, to calculate the probability that the number of free throws he makes exceeds 80 we would have to make the following calculation:
P(X>80)= 1- P(X<80)
You could calculate this value via a normal distributionapproximation:
P(Z<(80-80)/4)=1-P(Z<0)=1-50=0.50
The probability that the number of free throws he makes exceeds 80 is approximately 0.50
The probability that the number of free throws he makes exceeds 80 is approximately 0.5000.
Given that,
A college basketball player makes 80% of his free throws.
Over the course of the season, he will attempt 100 free throws.
Assuming free throw attempts are independent.
We have to determine,
The probability that the number of free throws he makes exceeds 80 is.
According to the question,
P(Make a Throw) = 80% = 0.80
number of free throws n = 100
Binomial distribution:
Mean: [tex]n \times p = 0.80 \times 100 = 80[/tex]
Then, The standard deviation is determined by using the formula;
[tex]= \sqrt{np(1-p)} \\\\=\sqrt{80\times (1-0.80)}\\\\= \sqrt{80 \times 0.20 } \\\\= \sqrt{16} \\\\= 4[/tex]
Therefore,
To calculate the probability that the number of free throws he makes exceeds 80 we would have to make the following calculation:
[tex]P(X>80)= 1- P(X<80)[/tex]
To calculate this value via a normal distribution approximation:
[tex]P(Z<\dfrac{80-80}{4})=1-P(Z<0)=1-0.50=0.5000[/tex]
Hence, The probability that the number of free throws he makes exceeds 80 is approximately 0.5000.
