Mrs. Liang, the librarian, wants to compare the numbers of patrons who prefer e-books to paperback books. She decides to take a

poll of every third adult with a child who arrives at the library for one of the four reading groups: toddlers, preschoolers, primary grades, and upper elementary. Which statement is true about her method of data collection?
A) It is not balanced because it is less likely to include teens, young adults, and senior citizens in the patron population
B) It is balanced because she is polling four different reading groups, which include all types of people

The correct response is A).


Mrs. Liang intends to survey patrons who utilize reading groups with children. If this doesn't include the entire patron base, which we believe it does not, her method of sampling will not accurately represent the overall patron population.

Given f(x) = x3 – 2x2 – x + 2, the roots of f(x) are
PIT_PIT [9156]
The expression in question is:

f(x) = x³ – 2x² – x + 2

To determine the roots, follow these steps:

1. Set the equation to zero:

0 = x³ – 2x² – x + 2

2. Factor the equation to get:

(x-2)(x-1)(x+1) = 0

3. The roots can be identified as follows:

x1 = -1
x2 = 1
x3 = 2

You may either multiply the numbers or the place value, and both methods will yield the same answer.

(2 thousands, 7 tens) multiplied by 10 results in

... (20 thousands, 70 tens)

Suppose the area that can be painted using a single can of spray paint is slightly variable and follows a nearly normal distribu
zzz [9093]

Response:

Detailed explanation:

Greetings!

You have the variable

X: Area eligible for painting with a can of spray paint (feet²)

This variable is normally distributed with a mean of μ= 25 feet² and a standard deviation of δ= 3 feet²

As this variable has a normal distribution, it needs to be converted into the standard normal form to utilize tabulated cumulative probabilities.

a.

P(X>27)

The first step involves standardizing the X value using Z= (X-μ)/ δ ~N(0;1)

P(Z>(27-25)/3)

P(Z>0.67)

Having determined the Z value, you can find it in the table, but since the table includes probabilities for P(Z, the following conversion must be applied:

P(Z>0.67)= 1 - P(Z≤0.67)= 1 - 0.74857= 0.25143

b.

A sample of 20 cans was taken, and you need to ascertain the probability of averaging a coverage area of 540 feet².

The sample mean maintains the same distribution as its source variable, but its variance is influenced by sample size, thus it is normally distributed with parameters:

X[bar]~N(μ;δ²/n)

To cover 540 feet² with 20 cans, the average coverage must be approximately 540/20= 27 feet² per can.

c.

P(X≤27) = P(Z≤(27-25)/(3/√20))= P(Z≤2.98)= 0.999

d.

No, if the distribution is not normal and skewed, the normal distribution should not be applied for calculating probabilities. While the central limit theorem might approximate the sampling distribution to normal when the sample size is 30 or larger, that isn’t applicable here.

I trust this information is helpful!
