g red bell pepper seeds germinates 85% of the time. planted 25 seeds. What is the probability that 20 or more germinate
Answer:
[tex] P(X\geq 20)= P(X=20)+P(X=21)+P(X=22)+P(X=23)+P(X=24)+P(X=25)[/tex]
And replacing using the mass function we got:
[tex]P(X=20)=(25C20)(0.85)^{20} (1-0.85)^{25-20}=0.156[/tex]
[tex]P(X=21)=(25C21)(0.85)^{21} (1-0.85)^{25-21}=0.211[/tex]
[tex]P(X=22)=(25C22)(0.85)^{22} (1-0.85)^{25-22}=0.217[/tex]
[tex]P(X=23)=(25C23)(0.85)^{23} (1-0.85)^{25-23}=0.161[/tex]
[tex]P(X=24)=(25C24)(0.85)^{24} (1-0.85)^{25-24}=0.0759[/tex]
[tex]P(X=25)=(25C25)(0.85)^{25} (1-0.85)^{25-25}=0.0172[/tex]
And adding the values we got:
[tex] P(X\geq 20) = 0.8381[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Let X the random variable of interest, on this case we now that:
[tex]X \sim Binom(n=25, p=0.85)[/tex]
The probability mass function for the Binomial distribution is given as:
[tex]P(X)=(nCx)(p)^x (1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
Where (nCx) means combinatory and it's given by this formula:
[tex]nCx=\frac{n!}{(n-x)! x!}[/tex]
We want to find the following probability:
[tex] P(X\geq 20)= P(X=20)+P(X=21)+P(X=22)+P(X=23)+P(X=24)+P(X=25)[/tex]
And replacing using the mass function we got:
[tex]P(X=20)=(25C20)(0.85)^{20} (1-0.85)^{25-20}=0.156[/tex]
[tex]P(X=21)=(25C21)(0.85)^{21} (1-0.85)^{25-21}=0.211[/tex]
[tex]P(X=22)=(25C22)(0.85)^{22} (1-0.85)^{25-22}=0.217[/tex]
[tex]P(X=23)=(25C23)(0.85)^{23} (1-0.85)^{25-23}=0.161[/tex]
[tex]P(X=24)=(25C24)(0.85)^{24} (1-0.85)^{25-24}=0.0759[/tex]
[tex]P(X=25)=(25C25)(0.85)^{25} (1-0.85)^{25-25}=0.0172[/tex]
And adding the values we got:
[tex] P(X\geq 20) = 0.8381[/tex]
A school is 16km due west of a school q.
What is the bearing of q from p?
Answer:
16 km due west
Step-by-step explanation:
The bearing of the school p from school q is 16 km due west.
To find the bearing of school q from school p, we have to find the direction that the school q is with respect to school p.
Since p is directly west of q, then it implies that q must be directly east of p.
We now know the direction.
Since the distance from q to p is exactly the same as the distance from p to q, then, the distance from p to q is 16 km.
Hence, the bearing of q from p is 16 km due west.

d =
Answer:
The test statistic value is, t = -5.245.
The effect size using estimated Cohen's d is 2.35.
Step-by-step explanation:
A paired t-test would be used to determine whether the remedial tutoring has been effective for the statistics tutor's five students.
The hypothesis can be defined as follows:
H₀: The remedial tutoring has not been effective, i.e. d = 0.
Hₐ: The remedial tutoring has been effective, i.e. d > 0.
Use Excel to perform the Paired t test.
Go to Data → Data Analysis → t-test: Paired Two Sample Means
A dialog box will open.
Select the values of the variables accordingly.
The Excel output is attached below.
The test statistic value is, t = -5.245.
Compute the effect size using estimated Cohen's d as follows:
[tex]\text{Cohen's d}=\frac{Mean_{d}}{SD_{d}}[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{0.54}{0.23022}\\\\=2.34558\\\\\approx 2.35[/tex]
Thus, the effect size using estimated Cohen's d is 2.35.

Answer:
C.
Step-by-step explanation:
When two lines are parallel, their slopes are the same.
Since the slope of line l is 2/7, the slope of its parallel line m must also be 2/7.
The answer is C.
Answer:
C. 2/7
Step-by-step explanation:
Parallel lines are lines that have the same slopes.
We know that line l is parallel to line m.
Therefore, the slope of line l is equal to the slope of line m.
[tex]m_{l} =m_{m}[/tex]
We know that line l has a slope of 2/7.
[tex]\frac{2}{7} =m_{m}[/tex]
So, line m also has a slope of 2/7. The answer is C. 2/7
What is the equation of the line that is parallel to the given line and passes through the point (12, -2)? A) y = -6/5x + 10 B) y= -6/5x + 12 C) y = -5/6x -10 D) y = 5/6x - 12
Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
Parallel lines are those that have the same slope, or coefficient of x.
Here, let's calculate the slope of the given line. Slope is the difference in the y-coordinates divided by the difference in the x-coordinates, so given the two coordinates (12, 6) and (0, -4):
slope = m = (-4 - 6) / (0 - 12) = -10 / (-12) = 10/12 = 5/6
So the slope is 5/6. That means the equation we want should also have a slope of 5/6. Already, we can eliminate A, B, and C, leaving D as our answer. But, let's check.
The equation of a line can be written as [tex]y-y_1=m(x-x_1)[/tex], where m is the slope and [tex](x_1,y_1)[/tex] is the coordinates of a given point.
Here, our slope is 5/6 and our given point is (12, -2). So plug these in:
[tex]y-y_1=m(x-x_1)[/tex]
[tex]y-(-2)=(5/6)(x-12)[/tex]
[tex]y+2=\frac{5}{6} x-10[/tex]
[tex]y=\frac{5}{6} x-12[/tex]
This matches D, so we know that it's the correct answer.

A new fertilizer was applied to the soil of 146 bean plants. 23% showed increased growth. Find the margin of error and 95% confidence interval for the percentage of all bean plants which show increased growth after application of the fertilizer. Round all answers to 2 decimal places.
Answer:
The significance level for this case would be [tex]\alpha=1-0.95=0.05[/tex] and the critical value for this case would be:
[tex] z_{\alpha/2}=1.96[/tex]
The margin of error is given by:
[tex] ME = z_{\alpha/2} \sqrt{\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{n}}[/tex]
And replacing we got:
[tex] ME = 1.96 \sqrt{\frac{0.23*(1-0.23)}{146}} =0.0683[/tex]
And the margin of error for this case would be [tex] ME = 0.07[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
For this case we have the following dataset given:
[tex] n= 146[/tex] represent the sample size
[tex] \hat p =0.23[/tex] represent the estimated proportion of interest
[tex] Conf=0.95[/tex] represent the confidence level
The significance level for this case would be [tex]\alpha=1-0.95=0.05[/tex] and the critical value for this case would be:
[tex] z_{\alpha/2}=1.96[/tex]
The margin of error is given by:
[tex] ME = z_{\alpha/2} \sqrt{\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{n}}[/tex]
And replacing we got:
[tex] ME = 1.96 \sqrt{\frac{0.23*(1-0.23)}{146}} =0.0683[/tex]
And the margin of error for this case would be [tex] ME = 0.07[/tex]

We failed to reject H₀
We do not have significant evidence at the given significance level to show that there is a difference among the four chemical agents on the strength of a particular type of cloth.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that a chemist wishes to test the effect of four chemical agents on the strength of a particular type of cloth.
Since we are given data for four independent chemical agents to determine the effect on the strength of a particular type of cloth, therefore, a one-way analysis of variance may be used for the given problem.
ANOVA:
The one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) may be used to find out whether there is any significant difference between the means of two or more independent categories of data.
Set up hypotheses:
Null hypotheses = H₀: μ₁ = μ₂ = μ₃ = μ₄
Alternate hypotheses = H₁: μ₁ ≠ μ₂ ≠ μ₃ ≠ μ₄
Set up decision rule:
We Reject H₀ if p ≤ α
OR
We Reject H₀ if F > F critical
ANOVA in Excel:
Step 1:
In the data tab, select data analysis
Step 2:
Select "Anova single factor" from the analysis tools
Step 3:
Select the destination of input data in the "input range"
Step 4:

What is the horizontal asymptote of the function f (x) = StartFraction (x minus 2) Over (x minus 3) squared EndFraction?
The horizontal asymptote of the function f(x) = (x-2)/(x-3)² is at y = 0 which is the x-axis.
What is an asymptote?An asymptote is a line that is approached by a curve but never touches it. In other words, an asymptote is a line where the graph of a function converges.
What is the horizontal asymptote?Because a horizontal asymptote is a horizontal line, its equation is of the form y = k. The horizontal asymptote of a rational function is at y = 0, which is the x-axis if the degree of the numerator is smaller than the degree of the denominator.
How to solve this problem?Here, the function is f(x) = (x-2)/(x-3)². Here the degree of the numerator of this rational function is 1 and the degree of the denominator is 2. Since 1<2, the horizontal asymptote is at y = 0 which is the x-axis.
The horizontal asymptote of the function f(x) = (x-2)/(x-3)² is at y = 0 which is the x-axis.

Compute the critical value z Subscript alpha divided by 2 that corresponds to a 86% level of confidence.
Answer:
z = 1.476
Step-by-step explanation:
We have that to find our [tex]\alpha[/tex] level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:
[tex]\alpha = \frac{1-0.86}{2} = 0.07[/tex]
Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of [tex]1-\alpha[/tex].
So it is z with a pvalue of [tex]1-0.07 = 0.93[/tex], so [tex]z = 1.476[/tex]

Solve the following system by substitution.
y = - 3x + 11
5x + y = 21
Answer:
x = 5 and y = -4
Step-by-step explanation:
y = - 3x + 11 ______(1)
5x + y = 21______(2)
Substitute (1) into (2).
5x + (-3x + 11) = 21
5x - 3x + 11 = 21
2x = 21-11
2x = 10
x = 10/2
x = 5
Now substitute x = 5 into (1).
y = -3(5) + 11
y = -15 + 11
y = -4
Hence, x = 5 and y = -4
A respiratory therapist predicts that the proportion of U.S. college students who smoke hookah is greater than 30%. To test this prediction, she surveys 300 random U.S. college, and it is determined that 80 of them smoke hookah. The following is the setup for this hypothesis test: H0:p=0.30 H0:p>0.30 The p-value for this hypothesis test is 0.10. At the 5% significance level, should she reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis? Select the correct answer below: Reject the null hypothesis because 0.30>0.05. Fail to reject the null hypothesis because 0.30>0.05. Reject the null hypothesis because the p-value =0.10 is less than the significance level α=0.05. Fail to reject the null hypothesis because the p-value =0.10 is more than the significance level α=0.05.
Answer:
Fail to reject the null hypothesis because the p-value =0.10 is more than the significance level α=0.05.
Step-by-step explanation:
The significant level for this case study is 5% - 0.05. If the results gotten is less than the significance level, we reject the null hypothesis, but if greater, we fail to reject the null hypothesis.
In this case study, the p-value is 0.10 which is a lot higher than 0.05, thus we will fail to reject the null hypothesis because the p-value =0.10 is more than the significance level α=0.05.

Lisa is in charge of planning a reception for 3600 people. She is trying to decide which snacks to buy. She has asked a random sample of people who are coming to the reception what their favorite snack is. Here are the results.
Favorite Snack Number of People
Brownies 32
Cookies 22
chips 56
other 65
Based on the above sample, predict the number of the people at the reception whose favorite snack will be chips. Round your answer to the nearest whole number. Do not round any intermediate calculations.
Answer:
The expected number of the people at the reception whose favorite snack will be chips is 1152
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
The data in the above table and
Reception = 3600
Required
Predict the number of the people at the reception whose favorite snack will be chips.
The first step is to determine the total number of samples;
[tex]Total = Brownies + Cookies + Chips + Other[/tex]
[tex]Total = 32 + 22 + 56 + 65[/tex]
[tex]Total = 175[/tex]
The next step is to determine the fraction of people whose favorite is chips
[tex]Fraction = \frac{Chips}{Total}[/tex]
[tex]Fraction = \frac{56}{175}[/tex]
The product of the above fraction and the expected number of people in the reception is the solution to this question;
[tex]Expected\ Number = \frac{56}{175} * 3600[/tex]
[tex]Expected\ Number = \frac{56* 3600}{175}[/tex]
[tex]Expected\ Number = \frac{201600}{175}[/tex]
[tex]Expected\ Number = 1152[/tex]
Hence, the expected number of the people at the reception whose favorite snack will be chips is 1152
Identify the slope and y-intercept of the line −2x+5y=−30.
Answer:
slope = 2/5 , y-intercept = -30
Step-by-step explanation:
-2x + 5y = -30
5y = 2x - 30
y = 2/5x - 6
we know that the general form is:
y = (slope)*x + (y- intercept)
so, from our equation, we can say that...
slope = 2/5
y- intercept = -30
The dose of a drug is 0.05 mg for each kg of a patient’s weight.The Drug is available as an oral liquid containing 50 mcg/0.1 ml.Calculate the dose of the oral liquid in ml for a patient who weighs 132 lb
Answer:
6 mL
Step-by-step explanation:
It is a matter of units conversion.
volume = (mass) × (dose/mass) ÷ (dose/volume)
(132 lb)/(2.2 kg/lb) × (0.05 mg/kg) / (0.05 mg/0.1 mL) = 6 mL
Find a parabola with equation y = ax2 + bx + c that has slope 5 at x = 1, slope −11 at x = −1, and passes through the point (2, 18).
By "slope" I assume you mean slope of the tangent line to the parabola.
For any given value of x, the slope of the tangent to the parabola is equal to the derivative of y :
[tex]y=ax^2+bx+c\implies y'=2ax+b[/tex]
The slope at x = 1 is 5:
[tex]2a+b=5[/tex]
The slope at x = -1 is -11:
[tex]-2a+b=-11[/tex]
We can already solve for a and b :
[tex]\begin{cases}2a+b=5\\-2a+b=-11\end{cases}\implies 2b=-6\implies b=-3[/tex]
[tex]2a-3=5\implies 2a=8\implies a=4[/tex]
Finally, the parabola passes through the point (2, 18); that is, the quadratic takes on a value of 18 when x = 2:
[tex]4a+2b+c=18\implies2(2a+b)+c=10+c=18\implies c=8[/tex]
So the parabola has equation
[tex]\boxed{y=4x^2-3x+8}[/tex]
Using function concepts, it is found that the parabola is: [tex]y = 4x^2 - 3x + 14[/tex]
----------------------------
The parabola is given by:
[tex]y = ax^2 + bx + c[/tex]
----------------------------
Slope 5 at x = 1 means that [tex]y^{\prime}(1) = 5[/tex], thus:
[tex]y^{\prime}(x) = 2ax + b[/tex]
[tex]y^{\prime}(1) = 2a + b[/tex]
[tex]2a + b = 5[/tex]
----------------------------
Slope -11 at x = -1 means that [tex]y^{\prime}(-1) = -11[/tex], thus:
[tex]-2a + b = -11[/tex]
Adding the two equations:
[tex]2a - 2a + b + b = 5 - 11[/tex]
[tex]2b = -6[/tex]
[tex]b = -\frac{6}{2}[/tex]
[tex]b = -3[/tex]
And
[tex]2a - 3 = 5[/tex]
[tex]2a = 8[/tex]
[tex]a = \frac{8}{2}[/tex]
[tex]a = 4[/tex]
Thus, the parabola is:
[tex]y = 4x^2 - 3x + c[/tex]
----------------------------
It passes through the point (2, 18), which meas that when [tex]x = 2, y = 18[/tex], and we use it to find c.
[tex]y = 4x^2 - 3x + c[/tex]
[tex]18 = 4(2)^2 - 3(4) + c[/tex]
[tex]c + 4 = 18[/tex]
[tex]c = 14[/tex]
Thus:
[tex]y = 4x^2 - 3x + 14[/tex]

g Steel used for water pipelines is often coated on the inside with cement mortar to prevent corrosion. In a study of the mortar coatings of the pipeline used in a water transmission project in California, researchers noted that the mortar thickness was specified to be 7/16 inch. A very large sample of thickness measurements produced a mean equal to 0.635 inch and astandard deviation equal to 0.082 inch. If the thickness measurements were normally distributed, approximately what proportion were less than 7/16 inch?
Answer:
[tex]P(X<0.4375)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}<\frac{0.4375-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z<\frac{0.4375-0.635}{0.082})=P(z<-2.41)[/tex]
And we can find this probability using the z table and we got:
[tex]P(z<-2.41)=0.0080[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Let X the random variable that represent the thickness of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:
[tex]X \sim N(0.635,0.082)[/tex]
Where [tex]\mu=0.635[/tex] and [tex]\sigma=0.032[/tex]
We are interested on this probability
[tex]P(X<0.4375)[/tex]
And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:
[tex]z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:
[tex]P(X<0.4375)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}<\frac{0.4375-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z<\frac{0.4375-0.635}{0.082})=P(z<-2.41)[/tex]
And we can find this probability using the z table and we got:
[tex]P(z<-2.41)=0.0080[/tex]
