A student in wildlife management studied trout habitat in the upper Shavers Fork watershed in West Virginia. The springtime water pH of 29 randomly selected tributary sample sites were found to have the following values:
6.2 6.3 5.0 5.8 4.6 4.7 4.7 5.4 6.2 6.0 5.4 5.9 6.2 6.1 6.0 6.3 6.2 5.8 6.2 6.3 6.3 6.3 6.4 6.5 6.6 6.1 6.3 4.4 6.7
Do the data of Exercise 17.8 (above) give good reason to think that the springtime water the tributary water basin around the Shavers Fork watershed is not neutral. (A neutral pH is the pH of pure water, pH 7.)
Step 1:
STATE: Is there evidence that the springtime water pH of the Shavers Fork watershed is not neutral (pH 7)?
FORMULATE: State hypotheses to be tested.
A. H 0 : μ = 7 vs. Ha : μ > 7
B. H 0 : μ = 7 vs. Ha : μ < 7
C. H 0 : μ = 7 vs. Ha : μ ≠ 7
D. H 0 : μ ≠ 7 vs. Ha : μ < 7

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

C. H 0 : μ = 7 vs. Ha : μ ≠ 7

Since the calculated value of t = -9.462 falls in the critical region  t ≤-2.048

We conclude that the  springtime water the tributary water basin around the Shavers Fork watershed is not neutral. We accept our alternate hypothesis and reject the null hypothesis.

Step-by-step explanation:

The null hypothesis the usually the test to be performed. Here we want to check whether the water is neutral or not. Neutral water must have a pH of 7 . This can be stated as the null hypothesis. And the claim is treated as the alternate hypothesis that water in not neutral or not having pH= 7

In symbols it will be written as

H0: : μ = 7 vs. Ha : μ ≠ 7

So choice C is the best option for this hypothesis testing.

Let the significance level be 0.05

The degrees of freedom = n-1= 29-1 = 28

The critical value is  t ≥ 2.048 and t ≤ - 2.048 for 0.05 two tailed test with 28 df.

The test statistic to use is t- test

t= x- u/ s/√n

The total sum is 170.9 and mean = x= 5.893

The u = 7

And the sample standard deviation is =s= 0.63

Putting the values

t= 5.893-7/0.63/√29

t= - 1.107/0.11699

t= -9.4623

Since the calculated value of t = -9.462 falls in the critical region  t ≤-2.048

We conclude that the  springtime water the tributary water basin around the Shavers Fork watershed is not neutral. We accept our alternate hypothesis and reject the null hypothesis.

Answer:

Mean = 4.7

Mode = 5

Median = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean = Σfx / Σf

Σfx = (3*4) + (4*5) + (5*7) + (6*2) + (7*2) = 93

Σf = (4+5+7+2+2) = 20

Mean = 93 / 20

= 4.65

= 4.7

Mode = highest occurring = vlaue with highest frequency = 5

Median :

20 / 2 = 10

Tony Soprano has a collection of five-dollar and one-dollar bilis in his shirt pocket. He has 100 bills in all worth a total of $420. Which of the following systems of equations could be used to completely determine how many of each type of bill he has?
A. x+y=100 5x + y = 420
B. 5x + y = 420 100x + 420y = 5
C. x+y=100 x+y = 420 5x + y = 100

Answers

Answer:

[tex]A) x+y=100 \\ ..\ 5x + y = 420[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Five-dollar bill  x

One-dollar bill  y

Total number of bills [tex]N=100[/tex]

Worth of bills [tex]w=420[/tex]

Generally the equation for Total number of bills  is mathematically given by

Since it is made up of five and one dollar bills

Therefore

  [tex]x+y=100[/tex]

Hence the Equation for Total worth of bills is

 [tex]5x+y=420[/tex]

The System of equations used is

[tex]A) x+y=100 \\ ..\ 5x + y = 420[/tex]

We often deal with weighted​ means, in which different data values carry different weights in the calculation of the mean. For​ example, if the final exam counts for​ 50% of your final grade and 2 midterms each count for​ 25%, then you must assign weights of​ 50% and​ 25% to the final and​ midterms, respectively, before computing the mean score for the term. Apply the idea of weighted mean in the following exercise.

A student is taking an advanced anatomy class in which the midterm and final exams are worth 30% each and homework is worth 40% Of his final grade. On a 100-point scale, his midterm exam score was 82.5, his homework average score was 91.6, and his final exam score was 88.6.

Required:
a. On a 100-point scale, what is the student's overall average for the class?
b. The student was hoping to get an A in the class, which requires an overall score of 93.5 or higher. Could he have scored high enough on the final exam to get an A in the class?

Answers

Answer:

a) The student's overall average for the class is 87.97.

b) He would need a score above 100 to get an A, which means that he could not have scored high enough on the final exam to get an A in the class.

Step-by-step explanation:

Weighed average:

To solve this question, we find the student's weighed average, multiplying each of his grade by his weights.

Grades and weights:

Scored 82.5 on the midterm, worth 30%.

Scored 88.6 on the final exam, worth 30%.

Scored 91.6 on the homework, worth 40%.

a. On a 100-point scale, what is the student's overall average for the class?

Multiplying each grade by it's weight:

[tex]A = 82.5*0.3 + 88.6*0.3 + 91.6*0.4 = 87.97[/tex]

The student's overall average for the class is 87.97.

b. The student was hoping to get an A in the class, which requires an overall score of 93.5 or higher. Could he have scored high enough on the final exam to get an A in the class?

Score of x on the final class, and verify that the average could be 93.5 or higher. So

[tex]A = 82.5*0.3 + 88.6*0.3 + 0.4x[/tex]

[tex]A \geq 93.5[/tex]

[tex]82.5*0.3 + 88.6*0.3 + 0.4x \geq 93.5[/tex]

[tex]0.4x \geq 93.5 - (82.5*0.3 + 88.6*0.3)[/tex]

[tex]x \geq \frac{93.5 - (82.5*0.3 + 88.6*0.3)}{0.4}[/tex]

[tex]x \geq 105.425[/tex]

He would need a score above 100 to get an A, which means that he could not have scored high enough on the final exam to get an A in the class.

Answers

Answer: Choice B

They traveled 250 miles in 4 hours. Their speed was 62.5 mph.

=============================================================

Explanation:

Start at point X. Draw a horizontal line straight across until you reach the y axis. You should arrive at y = 250. This tells us that they traveled 250 miles.

Go back to point X. Draw a vertical line until you reach the x axis. You should reach x = 4. This indicates 4 hours.

Pairing up the two values together means they traveled 250 miles in 4 hours. Divide the distance over time to get the speed

speed = distance/time = 250/4 = 62.5 miles per hour

--------

Side note: unfortunately your teacher chose the label uppercase X for the point, which may be a bit confusing since it could clash with the lowercase x along the horizontal axis.

Another note: the speed represents the slope of the line

Which choice is equivalent to the fraction below when X is an appropriate value? Hint: Rationalize denominator and simplify

Answers

Answer:

Option A. –2 – 2√2

Step-by-step explanation:

√8 / √2 – 2

The above expression can be simplified as follow.

√8 / (√2 – 2)

Rationalise by multiplying the numerator and denominator with the conjugate of (√2 – 2) i.e (√2 + 2). This is illustrated below:

√8 / (√2 – 2) × (√2 + 2)/(√2 + 2)

√8(√2 + 2) / (√2 – 2)(√2 + 2)

√16 + 2√8 / 2 + 2√2 – 2√2 – 4

√16 + 2√8 / 2 – 4

√16 + 2√8 / –2

Recall

√16 = 4

√8 = √(4×2) = √4 × √2 = 2√2

Thus,

√16 + 2√8 / –2 = 4 + 2×2√2 / –2

= (4 + 4√2) / –2

= 4/–2 + 4√2/–2

= –2 – 2√2

Therefore,

√8 / (√2 – 2) = –2 – 2√2

Thus, option A gives the correct answer to the question.

A computer technician notes that 40% of computers fail because of the hard drive, 20% fail due to the processor, 15% of problems are with the keyboard, and 5% of problems are due to something else. What is the mean of the number of computers he will work on before seeing his first computer that has failed because of the hard drive?

Since there are four categories, the technician can expect 4 computers until one has failed due to the hard drive.
Since 40% is equivalent to Two-fifths, it is expected that Five-halves = 2.5 computers until one has failed due to the hard drive.
Since the highest percentage of failure is due to the hard drive, the technician can expect that the first computer will have failed due to the hard drive. So the expected value is 1.
Since it is more likely that a computer has failed due to some other issue, the technician can expect the first computer to fail due to some other issue, and the second to fail due to the hard drive. So the expected value is 2
