The Institute of Management Accountants (IMA) conducted a survey of senior finance professionals to gauge members’ thoughts on global warming and its impact on their companies. The survey found that 65% of senior professionals that global warming is having a significant impact on the environment. Suppose that you select a sample of 100 senior finance professionals.
1. What is the probability that the sample percentage indicating global warming is having a significant impact on the environment will be between 64% and 69%?
2. The probability is 90% that the sample percentage will be contained within what symmetrical limits of the population percentage?
3. The probability is 95% that the sample percentage will be contained within what symmetrical limits of the population percentage?

(1) The probability that the sample percentage indicating global warming is having a significant impact on the environment will be between 64% and 69% is 0.3674.

(2) The two population percentages that will contain the sample percentage with probability 90% are 0.57 and 0.73.

(3) The two population percentages that will contain the sample percentage with probability 95% are 0.55 and 0.75.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X = number of senior professionals who thought that global warming is having a significant impact on the environment.

The random variable X follows a Binomial distribution with parameters n = 100 and p = 0.65.

But the sample selected is too large and the probability of success is close to 0.50.

So a Normal approximation to binomial can be applied to approximate the distribution of p if the following conditions are satisfied:

np ≥ 10 n(1 - p) ≥ 10

Check the conditions as follows:

$np= 100\times 0.65=6510\\n(1-p)=100\times (1-0.65)=3510$

Thus, a Normal approximation to binomial can be applied.

So, $\hat p\sim N(p, \frac{p(1-p)}{n})=N(0.65, 0.002275)$ .

(1)

Compute the value of P(0.64 as follows:

P(0.64

=P(-0.20

Thus, the probability that the sample percentage indicating global warming is having a significant impact on the environment will be between 64% and 69% is 0.3674.

(2)

Let $p_{1}$ and $p_{2}$ be the two population percentages that will contain the sample percentage with probability 90%.

That is,

$P(p_{1}$

Then,

$P(p_{1}$

$P(\frac{p_{1}-p}{\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}}$

P(-z

The value of z for P (Z < z) = 0.95 is

z = 1.65.

Compute the value of $p_{1}$ and $p_{2}$ as follows:

$-z=\frac{p_{1}-p}{\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}}\\-1.65=\frac{p_{1}-0.65}{\sqrt{\frac{0.65(1-0.65)}{100}}}\\p_{1}=0.65-(1.65\times 0.05)\\p_{1}=0.5675\\p_{1}\approx0.57$ $z=\frac{p_{2}-p}{\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}}\\1.65=\frac{p_{2}-0.65}{\sqrt{\frac{0.65(1-0.65)}{100}}}\\p_{2}=0.65+(1.65\times 0.05)\\p_{1}=0.7325\\p_{1}\approx0.73$

Thus, the two population percentages that will contain the sample percentage with probability 90% are 0.57 and 0.73.

(3)

Let $p_{1}$ and $p_{2}$ be the two population percentages that will contain the sample percentage with probability 95%.

That is,

$P(p_{1}$

Then,

$P(p_{1}$

$P(\frac{p_{1}-p}{\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}}$

P(-z

The value of z for P (Z < z) = 0.975 is

z = 1.96.

Compute the value of $p_{1}$ and $p_{2}$ as follows:

$-z=\frac{p_{1}-p}{\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}}\\-1.96=\frac{p_{1}-0.65}{\sqrt{\frac{0.65(1-0.65)}{100}}}\\p_{1}=0.65-(1.96\times 0.05)\\p_{1}=0.552\\p_{1}\approx0.55$ $z=\frac{p_{2}-p}{\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}}\\1.96=\frac{p_{2}-0.65}{\sqrt{\frac{0.65(1-0.65)}{100}}}\\p_{2}=0.65+(1.96\times 0.05)\\p_{1}=0.748\\p_{1}\approx0.75$

Thus, the two population percentages that will contain the sample percentage with probability 95% are 0.55 and 0.75.

something that characterises a right triangle is the fact that we may use pythagoras' theorem to find any one of its sides given that we have the length of the other two sides. here, we have the length of the hypotenuse, √(87) yd, and one other side, √(23) yd, thus we can easily find the length of the remaining side using pythagoras' theorem as defined below:

c^2 = a^2 + b^2, where c is the length of the hypotenuse, and a and b are the lengths of the other two sides.

thus, given that c = √(87) and a = √(23), we may substitute these into the formula we defined above to get:

c^2 = a^2 + b^2

(√87)^2 = (√23)^2 + b^2 (substitute c = √87 and a = √23 into the equation)

87 = 23 + b^2 (evaluate (√87)^2 = 87 and (√23)^2 = 23 - remember that the square root of a number, squared will equal that very same number)

64 = b^2 (subtract 23 from both sides)

√64 = b (take the square root of both sides)

8 = b (evaluate √64 = 8)

therefor, the length of the unknown leg in the right triangle is 8 yd (first answer).

What is the length of the unknown leg in the right triangle ?
