Dr. Hernandez is a conservation biologist studying the impacts a derelict pharmaceutical company is having on a native fish population in a nearby lake. The lake has been contaminated with bovine growth hormone and Dr. Hernandez wants to see if the fish reaching adulthood in the contaminated lake are larger than the fish in a pristine lake that is nearby. Dr. Hernandez has the weights of 30 fish from the contaminated lake and of 30 fish from the pristine lake.
Based on the experimental design of Dr. Hernandez's research and the kind of data collected, which statistical test should be used to determine whether the bovine growth hormone is increasing the growth of native fish?
A. Two-tailed two-sample t-test
B. One-tailed paired t-test
C. Two-tailed paired t-test
D. One-tailed two-sample t-test
E. One-Way ANOVA
F. Linear Regression with t-test for significance of slope

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

C. Two-tailed paired t-test.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Dr. Hernandez takes 30 samples from a contaminated lake and 30 fish from a pristine lake, he should use a two-tailed t-test.

Paired t-tests describe tests used to compare the means of two samples when each observation in one sample can be paired with an observation in the other sample. Dr. Hernandez can certainly pair the samples and observe the differences, so the answer is C. Two-tailed paired t-test.

Hope this helps!

Which of these points lies on the line discribed by the equation below? y-4= -2(x-6)
A. (-6,-4)
B. (-4,-6)
C. (6,4)
D. (4,6)

Answers

Answer:

C, (6,4)

Step-by-step explanation:

The points (x,y) that lie on the line must fit into the equation correctly. So, we can test out the 4 options to see whether they fit correctly into the equation.

A:

y-4

= -4 -4 = -8

-2(x-6)

= -2 (-6-6)

= 24

Since -8≠24, so A is incorrect.

B:

y -4 = -6-4 = -10

-2(x-6) = -2 (-4-6) = 20

-10≠20, so B is incorrect.

C:

y-4 = 4 -4 = 0

-2(x-6) = -2(6-6) = 0

Both sides are equal. C is correct.

But lets test D out too.

y-4 = 6-4 = 2

-2(x-6) = -2(4-6) = 4

2≠4, so D is incorrect.

Step-by-step explanation:

Tublu buys a cylindrical water tank of height 1.4m and diameter 1.1m to catch rainwater off his roof. He has a full 2 litres tin of paint in his store and decides to paint the tank (not the base). If he uses 250 ml to cover 1 m2, will he have enough paint to cover the tank with one layer of paint? [take π=3.142]

Answers

Answer:

Tublu has more than enough paint to cover the tank surface in one layer coating

Step-by-step explanation:

Height of the cylinder = 1.4 m

diameter of the cylinder = 1.1 m

total volume of paint available = 2 litres

It takes 250 ml to cover 1 m^2 of the tank body

Since only the body is to be painted, we find the perimeter of the circle formed by the body of the tank.

perimeter of the circle formed by the body of the  tank = [tex]\pi d[/tex]

==> 3.142 x 1.1 = 3.456 m

This perimeter, if spread out, will form a rectangle with a height of 1.4 m from the base.

The area of the rectangle that will be formed =  (perimeter of the cylinder body) x ( height of the cylinder)

==> 3.456 x 1.4 = 4.838 m^2

This is the area that needs to be painted.

Converting the paint volume,

250 ml = 0.25 litres

To paint the above calculated are, we will need 4.838 x 0.25 = 1.21 litres of paint, (of course, excluding the base)

The volume of paint available = 2 litres

volume of paint needed = 1.21 litres

Tublu has more than enough paint to cover the tank surface in one layer coating

Write an expression that is divisible by 7. Use it to find two three-digit numbers numbers divisible by 7.

Answers

Answer:

7x+7 is obviously divisible by 7.

put in any value high enough and you can find the two three digit numbers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Two three-digit numbers divisible by 7 are 98 and 105.

Two three-digit numbers divisible by 7 are 98 and 105.To create an expression that is divisible by 7, we can use the property that the difference between two numbers is divisible by 7 if the numbers themselves are divisible by 7.

Let's represent a three-digit number divisible by 7 as "7k" where k is an integer. To find two three-digit numbers divisible by 7, we can use the following expression:

7k - 7

For example, if we substitute k = 15, we get:

7(15) - 7 = 105 - 7 = 98

So, the first three-digit number divisible by 7 is 98.

Similarly, for the second three-digit number, let's substitute k = 16:

7(16) - 7 = 112 - 7 = 105

Therefore, the two three-digit numbers divisible by 7 are 98 and 105.

A rectangular park is 8 miles long and 6 miles wide. How long is a pedestrian route that runs diagonally across the park?

Answers

Hey there! :)

Answer:

10 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for the diagonal side, we can simply visualize the sides of the rectangle as sides of a right triangle with the diagonal being the hypotenuse.

We can use the Pythagorean Theorem (a² + b² = c²), where:

a = length of short leg

b = length of long leg

c = length of the diagonal

Solve:

c² = a² + b²

c² = 6² + 8²

c² = 36 + 64

c² = 100

c = 10 miles. This is the length of the pedestrian route.

Answer:

10 miles

Solution,

Hypotenuse (h) = R

Perpendicular (p) = 8 miles

Base (b) = 6 miles

Now,

Using Pythagoras theorem:

[tex] {h}^{2} = {p}^{2} + {b}^{2} [/tex]

Plugging the values:

[tex] {r}^{2} = {(8)}^{2} + {(6)}^{2} [/tex]

Calculate:

[tex] {r}^{2} = 64 + 36[/tex]

[tex] {r}^{2} = 100[/tex]

[tex]r = \sqrt{100} [/tex]

[tex]r = 10 \: miles[/tex]

Length of route = 10 miles

each type should be used to make a 35 pound mixture that sells for $5.64 per pound?​

Answers

Answer:

17 pound of cashew and 18 pound of Brazil nuts

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be the amount of cashews that the nutty professor will mix.

Since, the total weight of the nuts should be 35 lbs

The amount of Brazil nuts = 35 - X

Now,

[tex]6x + 5.30(35 - x) = 5.64(35)[/tex]

[tex]600x + 530(35 - x) = 564 \times 35[/tex]

When they used a new offensive strategy against this defense, they scored 77 points. What is the Z-score of this value

Answers

Answer:

It is better for the warriors to use man-to-man defense.

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is: The Westwood Warriors basketball team wants to score more points. To get better at scoring points the  team is trying to improve its offensive strategies. Some opponents primarily use a zone defense, while  others primarily use a man-to-man defense. When the Warriors play against teams that use a zone defense they score an average of 67 points per game with a standard deviation of 8 points per game. When they play against teams that use a  man-to-man defense they score an average of 62 points per game with a standard deviation of 5 points per game.

Since the Warriors started using their improved offensive strategies they have played two  games with the following results.

Against the McNeil Mavericks

Maverick defense: zone

Warrior points: 77

Against the Round Rock Dragons

Dragon defense: man-to-man

Warrior points: 71

What is the Z-score of these values?

We are given that when the Warriors play against teams that use a zone defense they score an average of 67 points per game with a standard deviation of 8 points per game. When they play against teams that use a  man-to-man defense they score an average of 62 points per game with a standard deviation of 5 points per game.

We have to find the z-scores.

Finding the z-score for the zone defense;

Let X = points score by warriors when they use zone defense

The z-score probability distribution for the normal distribution is given by;

                            Z  =  [tex]\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex]  ~ N(0,1)

where, [tex]\mu[/tex] = mean score = 67 points

            [tex]\sigma[/tex] = standard deviation = 8 points

It is stated that the Warriors scored 77 points when they used zone defense, so;

   z-score for 77 =  [tex]\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

                            =  [tex]\frac{77-67}{8}[/tex]  = 1.25

Finding the z-score for the zone defense;

Let X = points score by warriors when they use man-to-man defense

The z-score probability distribution for the normal distribution is given by;

                            Z  =  [tex]\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex]  ~ N(0,1)

where, [tex]\mu[/tex] = mean score = 62 points

            [tex]\sigma[/tex] = standard deviation = 5 points

It is stated that the Warriors scored 71 points when they used man-to-man defense, so;

   z-score for 71 =  [tex]\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

                            =  [tex]\frac{71-62}{5}[/tex]  = 1.8

So, it is better for the warriors to use man-to-man defense.

A market research company conducted a survey to find the level of affluence in a city. They defined the category "affluence" for people earning $100,000 or more annually. Out of 267 persons who replied to their survey, 32 are considered affluent. What is the 95% confidence interval for this population proportion? Answer choices are rounded to the hundredths place

Answers

Answer:

A 95% confidence interval for this population proportion is [0.081, 0.159].

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a market research company conducted a survey to find the level of affluence in a city.

Out of 267 persons who replied to their survey, 32 are considered affluent.

Firstly, the pivotal quantity for finding the confidence interval for the population proportion is given by;

                            P.Q.  =  [tex]\frac{\hat p-p}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }[/tex]  ~ N(0,1)

where, [tex]\hat p[/tex] = sample proportion of people who are considered affluent = [tex]\frac{32}{267}[/tex] = 0.12

            n = sample of persons = 267

            p = population proportion

Here for constructing a 95% confidence interval we have used One-sample z-test for proportions.

So, 95% confidence interval for the population proportion, p is ;

P(-1.96 < N(0,1) < 1.96) = 0.95  {As the critical value of z at 2.5% level

                                                    of significance are -1.96 & 1.96}  

P(-1.96 < [tex]\frac{\hat p-p}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }[/tex] < 1.96) = 0.95

P( [tex]-1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }[/tex] < [tex]{\hat p-p}[/tex] < [tex]1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }[/tex] ) = 0.95

P( [tex]\hat p-1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }[/tex] < p < [tex]\hat p+1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }[/tex] ) = 0.95

95% confidence interval for p = [ [tex]\hat p-1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }[/tex] , [tex]\hat p+1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }[/tex] ]

    = [ [tex]0.12-1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{0.12(1-0.12)}{267} } }[/tex] , [tex]0.12+1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{0.12(1-0.12)}{267} } }[/tex] ]

    = [0.081, 0.159]

Therefore, a 95% confidence interval for this population proportion is [0.081, 0.159].

A cinema can hold 270 people at one performance 5/9 of the seats were occupied of the occupied seats 40% we occupied by concessionary ticket holders.

What is the number of seats occupied by concessionary ticket holders?.

Answer:

60 seats

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Number of seats = 270

Occupied Seats = 5/9

Concessionary ticket holders = 40% of occupied Seats

Required

The number of seats occupied by concessionary ticket holders

First the number of occupied seat has to be calculated.

[tex]Occupied\ Seats = \frac{5}{9} * 270[/tex]

[tex]Occupied\ Seats = \frac{1350}{9}[/tex]

[tex]Occupied\ Seats = 150[/tex]

Next is to determine the number of seats occupied by concessionary ticket holders.

[tex]Number = 40\%\ of\ occupied\ seats[/tex]

[tex]Number = 40\%\ of\ 150[/tex]

Convert percentage to decimal

[tex]Number = 0.4 * 150[/tex]

[tex]Number = 60[/tex]

Hence, 60 seats were occupied by concessionary ticket holders.

Answers

Answer:

a) Check Explanation.

b) True. Check Explanation.

c) True. Check Explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) A normal distribution is one which is characterized by four major properties.

- A normal distribution is symmetrical about the center of the distribution. That is, the variables spread out from the center in both directions in the same manner; the right side of the distribution is a mirror image of the left side of the distribution.

The center of a normal distribution is located at its peak, and 50% of the data lies above the mean, while 50% lies below.

- The mean, median and the mode are coincidental. The mean, median and mode of a normal distribution are all the same value.

- A normal distribution is unimodal, that is, has only one mode.

- The ends of the probability curve of a normal distribution never touch the x-axis, hence, it is said too be asymptotic.

b) The sampling distribution of sample means arises when random samples are drawn from the population distribution and their respective means are computed and put together to form a distribution. Hence, the curve of this sampling distribition of sample means will show how the sample means are distributed. Hence, this statement is true.

c) The Central Limit Theorem gives that if the samples are drawn randomly from a normal distribution and each sample size is considerable enough, the mean of the sampling distribution of sample means is approximately equal to the population mean. So, if the conditions stated are satisfied, then thos statement too, is true.

The function f(x) = x^2+4 is defined over the interval (-2,2). If the interval is dived into n equal parts what is the height of the right endpoint of the kth rectangle?

Answers

Answer:

Option (A).

Step-by-step explanation:

The function f(x) = x² + 4 is defined over the interval (-2, 2)

Total number of equal parts between this interval = 5

If the interval is divided into n equal parts, height of the right endpoint of each rectangle = [tex]\frac{5}{n}[/tex]

Height of the endpoint of the k rectangles = [tex]k.\frac{5}{n}[/tex]

Therefore, height of the endpoint of the kth rectangle = Height of first rectangle + height of k rectangles

= -2 + [tex]k.\frac{5}{n}[/tex]

Option (A). will be the answer.

The height of the right endpoint of the kth rectangle h = -2 + k (5/n)

What is the height?

The height is a vertical distance between two points. In the case of the triangle, the height will be the distance between the base and the top vertex of the triangle.

The function f(x) = x² + 4 is defined over the interval) (-2, 2 )

Total number of equal parts between this interval = 5

If the interval is divided into n equal parts, the height of the right endpoint of each rectangle = (5/n)

Height of the endpoint of the k rectangles = k (5/n)

The height of the endpoint of the kth rectangle:-

= Height of first rectangle + height of k rectangles

= -2   +  k (  5/n )

Therefore the height of the right endpoint of the kth rectangle h = -2 + k (5/n)

While starting salaries have fallen for college graduates in many of the top hiring fields, there is some good news for business undergraduates with concentrations in accounting and finance (Bloomberg Businessweek, July 1, 2010). According to the National Association of Colleges and Employers’ Summer 2010 Salary Survey, accounting graduates commanded the second highest salary at $50,402, followed by finance graduates at $49,703. Let the standard deviation for accounting and finance graduates be $6,000 and $10,000, respectively.

a. What is the probability that 100 randomly selected accounting graduates will average more than $52,000 in salary?

b. What is the probability that 100 randomly selected finance graduates will average more than $52,000 in salary?

c. Comment on the above probabilities.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the central limit theorem, if independent random samples of size n are repeatedly taken from any population and n is large, the distribution of the sample means will approach a normal distribution. The size of n should be greater than or equal to 30. Given n = 100 for both scenarios, we would apply the formula,

z = (x - µ)/(σ/√n)

a) x is a random variable representing the salaries of accounting graduates. We want to determine P( x > 52000)

From the information given

µ = 50402

σ = 6000

z = (52000 - 50402)/(6000/√100) = 2.66

Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.9961

b) x is a random variable representing the salaries of finance graduates. We want to determine P(x > 52000)

From the information given

µ = 49703

σ = 10000

z = (52000 - 49703)/(10000/√100) = 2.3

Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.9893

c) The probabilities of either jobs paying that amount is high and very close.
