The q proportion, often denoted as "q," refers to the complement of a proportion in statistics. If "p" represents the proportion of successes in a given scenario, then "q" is calculated as ( q = 1 - p ), representing the proportion of failures. This concept is commonly used in binomial distributions and hypothesis testing. Understanding both p and q is essential for calculating probabilities and making inferences about populations.

An equation that shows two ratios are equivalent?

Two ratios, p/q and r/s (q and s non-zero) are equal if p/q - r/s = 0.


If 30 of 100 organisms are red what is q?

If 30 out of 100 organisms are red, then the proportion of red organisms can be represented as ( q = \frac{30}{100} = 0.3 ) or 30%. Therefore, ( q ) is 0.3.


If 59 or 100 organisms are red what is q?

The question seems to be missing context regarding what "q" represents. If "q" refers to a proportion or percentage of red organisms, you could express it as a fraction of the total: for 59 red organisms out of 100, q would be 0.59 or 59%. If all 100 organisms are red, then q would be 1 or 100%. Please clarify if you need a different interpretation.


What are the coordinates of the point that is of the way from A(14 1) to B(4 23)?

It would have been possible to give a simple answer if we could see what proportion of the way from A to B the question was about. But, thanks to the wonderful (not!) browser used by this site, we cannot and so this is a general answer.If the question was about p/q of the way, then the coordinates of the point are [(14*(q-p) + 4*p)/q, (1*(q-p) + 23*p)/q].


What is headcount index?

The proportion of the population with a standard of living below the poverty line The Head Count Index (H) is the proportion of the population whose economic welfare (y) is less than the poverty line (z). If q people are deemed to be poor in a population of size n then H=q/n. For computing the Head Count Index, estimates of individual economic welfare and the poverty line are required.

In a random sample of 144 observations the sample proportion equals 0.6 The 95 percent confidence interval for P is?

95% CI for Proportion is p +/- E; where E = Z*sqrt(p*q/n). P=.6, q=.4, n=144, Z=1.96. Therefore E=1.96*sqrt(0.4*0.6/144) = 0.08. So, 95% CI = .6 +/- 0.08 or .52 to .68.

How do you solve the proportion of something?

There cannot be a "proportion of something": proportion is a relationship between two things, and how you solve it depends on whether they (or their transformations) are in direct proportion or inverse proportion.
