1. In 1995, the average level of mercury uptake in wading birds in the Everglades was 15 parts per million. If we assume that the distribution of mercury uptake has a standard deviation of 1 part per million, and a current sample of 25 wading birds has an average of 14.6 parts per million. Which null and alternative hypotheses would be used to test that the level of mercury uptake in the Everglades has decreased since 1995?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

We reject H₀, we find that the  current level of mercury uptake in the Everglades has decrease

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to test the current wading bird average 14,6 vs the 1995 average. As sample mean is 14,6 and population mean is 15 we are going to check test is of one tail (left tail test)

Test Hypothesis:

Null hypothesis             H₀          μ   =  μ₀

Alternative hypothesis Hₐ          μ   <  μ₀

Sample size 25             then n < 30 we will use t-student table

Population mean : μ₀ = 15 ppm

sample mean :  μ  = 14,6 ppm

sample standard deviation:   s = 1 ppm

Sample size n :  25

degrees of freedom   df = n - 1         df = 24

We will develop the test for CI 90%  then  α = 10%      α = 0,1   α/2 = 0,05

For that values in t student table we find:

t(c) = 1,711    by symmetry t(c) = - 1,711

To compute ts

t(s) =  ( μ - μ₀ ) / s/√n

t(s) = 14,6 - 15 / 1 /√25

t(s) = - 0,4*5 / 1

t(s) = - 2

Comparing t(c)and t(s)

|t(s)| > |t(c) |      and t(s) < t(c)         -2 < -1,711

Therefore t(s) in in the rejection region, we reject H₀

the half life of c14 is 5730 years. Suppose that wood found at an archeological excavation site contains about 35% as much C14 as does living plant material. Determine when the wood was cut

Answers

Answer:

The wood was cut approximately 8679 years ago.

Step-by-step explanation:

At first we assume that examination occured in 2020. The decay of radioactive isotopes are represented by the following ordinary differential equation:

[tex]\frac{dm}{dt} = -\frac{m}{\tau}[/tex] (Eq. 1)

Where:

[tex]\frac{dm}{dt}[/tex] - First derivative of mass in time, measured in miligrams per year.

[tex]\tau[/tex] - Time constant, measured in years.

[tex]m[/tex] - Mass of the radioactive isotope, measured in miligrams.

Now we obtain the solution of this differential equation:

[tex]\int {\frac{dm}{m} } = -\frac{1}{\tau}\int dt[/tex]

[tex]\ln m = -\frac{1}{\tau} + C[/tex]

[tex]m(t) = m_{o}\cdot e^{-\frac{t}{\tau} }[/tex] (Eq. 2)

Where:

[tex]m_{o}[/tex] - Initial mass of isotope, measured in miligrams.

[tex]t[/tex] - Time, measured in years.

And time is cleared within the equation:

[tex]t = -\tau \cdot \ln \left[\frac{m(t)}{m_{o}} \right][/tex]

Then, time constant can be found as a function of half-life:

[tex]\tau = \frac{t_{1/2}}{\ln 2}[/tex] (Eq. 3)

If we know that [tex]t_{1/2} = 5730\,yr[/tex] and [tex]\frac{m(t)}{m_{o}} = 0.35[/tex], then:

[tex]\tau = \frac{5730\,yr}{\ln 2}[/tex]

[tex]\tau \approx 8266.643\,yr[/tex]

[tex]t = -(8266.643\,yr)\cdot \ln 0.35[/tex]

[tex]t \approx 8678.505\,yr[/tex]

The wood was cut approximately 8679 years ago.

You are given $893 in one, five, and ten dollar bills. There are 165 bills. There are twice as many five dollar bills as there are ones and tens combined. How many bills of each type are there?

Answers

Given:

You are given $893 in one, five, and ten dollar bills.

There are 165 bills.

There are twice as many five dollar bills as there are ones and tens combined.

To find:

How many bills of each type are there?

Solution:

Consider the number of bills of one dollars, five dollars and ten dollars are x, y and z respectively.

According to the question,

Number of bills : [tex]x+y+z=165[/tex]         ...(1)

Total amount : [tex]1x+5y+10z=893[/tex]         ...(2)

Condition : [tex]y=2(x+z)[/tex]     ...(3)

Equation (3) can be written as

[tex]\dfrac{y}{2}=x+z[/tex]       ...(4)

Substituting [tex]x+z=\dfrac{y}{2}[/tex] in (1), we get

[tex]\dfrac{y}{2}+y=165[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{3y}{2}=165[/tex]

[tex]3y=330[/tex]

[tex]y=110[/tex]

Substituting y=110 in (4), we get

[tex]x+z=\dfrac{165}{2}[/tex]

[tex]x+z=55[/tex]

[tex]x=55-z[/tex]       ...(5)

Substituting y=110 and x=55-z in (2), we get

[tex](55-z)+5(110)+10z=893[/tex]

[tex]55-z+550+10z=893[/tex]

[tex]9z+605=893[/tex]

[tex]9z=893-605[/tex]

[tex]9z=288[/tex]

Dividing both sides by 9, we get

[tex]z=32[/tex]

Substituting z=32 in (5), we get

[tex]x=55-32[/tex]

[tex]x=23[/tex]

Therefore,

One dollar bills = 23

Five dollars bills= 110

Ten dollars bills = 32

Blood pressure: High blood pressure has been identified as a risk factor for heart attacks and strokes. The proportion of U.S. adults with high blood pressure is 0.4.

Part: 0 / 60 of 6 Parts Complete Part 1 of 6 Is it appropriate to use the normal approximation to find the probability that more than 43% of the people in the sample have high blood pressure? It ▼(Choose one) appropriate to use the normal curve, since =np ▼(Choose one)10 and =n−1p ▼(Choose one) 10.

Answers

Answer:

Yes it appropriate to use the normal approximation to find the probability that more than 43% of the people in the sample have high blood pressure

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The population proportion is  p=0.4

  The sample size is  n =  39

  The sample proportion is  [tex]\^ p = 0.43[/tex]

Generally for normal approximation to be used

       [tex]np > 10[/tex]

so np  =  39 * 0.4 =  15.6 > 10

   and [tex]n(1- p) > 10[/tex]

so   n(1-p ) = 39(1-0.4) = 23.4 >10

Given that the both condition is meet it mean that  it appropriate to use the normal approximation to find the probability that more than 43% of the people in the sample have high blood pressure

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

The order of the numbers doesn't matter, so we'll use combinations instead of permutations.  The number of combinations is:

₄₅C₈ = 215,553,195

So the probability of a ticket having the winning combination is 1 / 215,553,195.

The expected value to the state is:

E(X) = 10,000 (1) ($2) + 10,000 (1 / 215,553,195) (-$1,000,000)

E(X) = $19954

The expected value to you is:

E(X) = 10,000 (1) (-$2) + 10,000 (1 / 215,553,195) ($1,000,000)

E(X) = -$19954
