The U.S. Federal Seed Act establishes germination rates for various fruit and vegetable seeds. Watermelon seeds are to meet a 70% germination standard. A skeptical gardener who has not had very good luck planting watermelons believes that the seed company he purchases seeds from is not adhering to the 70% federal mandate. Once a week for 12 weeks, he purchases a pack of 10 watermelon seeds to act as his sample. He plants the seeds in a greenhouse with good soil to maintain a consistent temperature and watering routine. He finds that the germination rate for the company's watermelon seeds is 55%. Is this convincing evidence that the proportion of watermelon seeds that germinate is less than 70%

Answers

Answer:

By the Central Limit Theorem, the distribution of ¯ x is approximately normal with mean 187 and standard deviation 2.05.

Step-by-step explanation:

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

Robin has a rectangular picture frame that is 8 1/2 by 11 inches. What is the
approximate perimeter of the picture frame in centimeters?

Answers

Answer: 99.06cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that 1 inch = 2.54cm

Therefore, we'll convert the sides of the frame in inches to cm. This will be:

8 1/2 inch = 8.5 × 2.54cm = 21.59cm

11inches = 11 × 2.54cm = 27.94cm

Therefore, the perimeter of a rectangle will be:

= 2(length + width)

= 2(27.94 + 21.59)

= 2(49.53)

= 99.06cm

find sec 0

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\displaystyle \sec(\theta)=\frac{9\sqrt{17}}{17}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that:

[tex]\displaystyle \sin(\theta)=\frac{8}{9}\text{ and } \tan(\theta)>0[/tex]

And we want to find sec(θ).

First, note that both sine and tangent are positive. The only quadrant in which this can occur is QI. Hence, all trig ratios will be positive.

Also, recall that sine is the ratio of the opposite side to the hypotenuse. Using this information and the Pythagorean Theorem, we can determine the adjacent side:

[tex]a=\sqrt{9^2-8^2}=\sqrt{17}[/tex]

So, with respect to θ, the adjacent side is √(17), the opposite side is 8, and the hypotenuse is 9.

Secant is the ratio of the hypotenuse to the adjacent. Hence:

[tex]\displaystyle \sec(\theta)=\frac{9}{\sqrt{17}}=\frac{9\sqrt{17}}{17}[/tex]

Again, since θ is in QI, all trig ratios are positive.

It has been observed that some persons who suffer acute heartburn, again suffer acute heartburn within one year of the first episode. This is due, in part, to damage from the first episode. The performance of a new drug designed to prevent a second episode is to be tested for its effectiveness in preventing a second episode. In order to do this two groups of people suffering a first episode are selected. There are 163 people in the first group and this group will be administered the new drug. There are 160 people in the second group and this group wil be administered a placebo. After one year, 13% of the first group has a second episode and 14% of the second group has a second episode. Select a 90% confidence interval for the difference in true proportion of the two groups.
a) [0.00590, 0.0251].
b) [0.00690, 0.0551].
c) [0.0890, 0.0551].
d) [0.00690, 0.0351].
e) [0.00890, 0.0651].

Answers

Answer:

90% confidence interval for the difference in true proportion of the two groups is (-0.0717, 0.0517).

Step-by-step explanation:

Before building the confidence interval, we need to understand the central limit theorem and subtraction of normal variables.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

For a proportion p in a sample of size n, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion will be approximately normal with mean [tex]\mu = p[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}[/tex]

Subtraction between normal variables:

When two normal variables are subtracted, the mean is the difference of the means, while the standard deviation is the square root of the sum of the variances.

First group: Sample of 163, 13% has a second episode.

This means that:

[tex]p_1 = 0.13, s_1 = \sqrt{\frac{0.13*0.87}{163}} = 0.026[/tex]

Second group: Sample of 160, 14% has a second episode

This means that:

[tex]p_2 = 0.14, s_2 = \sqrt{\frac{0.14*0.86}{160}} = 0.027[/tex]

Distribution of the difference:

[tex]p = p_1 - p_2 = 0.13 - 0.14 = -0.01[/tex]

[tex]s = \sqrt{s_1^2+s_2^2} = \sqrt{0.026^2+0.027^2} = 0.0375[/tex]

Confidence interval:

The confidence interval is:

[tex]p \pm zs[/tex]

In which

z is the zscore that has a pvalue of [tex]1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}[/tex].

90% confidence level

So [tex]\alpha = 0.1[/tex], z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of [tex]1 - \frac{0.1}{2} = 0.95[/tex], so [tex]Z = 1.645[/tex].

Lower bound:

[tex]p - 1.645s = -0.01 - 1.645*0.0375 = -0.0717[/tex]

Upper bound:

[tex]p + 1.645s = -0.01 + 1.645*0.0375 = 0.0517[/tex]

90% confidence interval for the difference in true proportion of the two groups is (-0.0717, 0.0517).

a² + b² = c²

a² + 3² = 5²

a² + 9 = 25

subtract 9 from both sides

a² = 16

tenth of a cubic meter.

Answers

A= 1/3A'h.................... Equation 1

A' = Area of the base, h = height of the pyramid

From the question,

Given: A' = 12.2 m², h = 12.3 m

Substitute these values into equation 1

A = 1/3(12.2×12.3)

Answer:

  m = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

The right triangles in this figure are all similar, so the ratios of hypotenuse to short side are the same.

  (12+4)/m = m/4

  64 = m² . . . . multiply by 4m

  8 = m . . . . . . square root

__

Likewise, the ratio of long side to short side is the same.

  12/n = n/4

  48 = n² . . . . . . multiply by 4n

  4√3 = n . . . . . take the square root

_____

Additional comment

You may have noticed that the ratios of side lengths are ...

  4 : n : m = 4 : 4√3 : 8 = 1 : √3 : 2 . . . . . side lengths of a 30°-60°-90° triangle

This means the unmarked side is 8√3.

The height of the balloon above the ground is 554 ft.

I have attached a diagram where i have divided the triangle shown into 2.

From the attached image, the third angle in triangle 1 would be;

180 - (90 + 85) = 5°

The supplementary angle in triangle 2 to 85° in triangle 1 is;

180 - 85 = 95°(because supplementary angles add up to 180)

The third angle of triangle 2 is; 180 - (95 + 75) = 10°

If we label the shared slant side between the two triangles as z, the we can use sine rule to find z from triangle 2;

100/sin10 = z/sin 75

z = 100(sin 75)/(sin 10)

Applying trigonometric ratio to triangle 1, we can find h as;

h/z = sin 85

h = z sin 85
