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

What is Sequence?

An ordered collection of objects that allows repetitions is referred to as a sequence. Similar to a set, it has members (also called elements, or terms). The length of the series is the number of elements (potentially infinite).

Given:

First term, [tex]a_1[/tex] = x

[tex]a_2[/tex] = 4[tex]a_1[/tex] + 20

.

.

.

[tex]a_n[/tex] = 4[tex]a_{n-1[/tex] + 20

So, [tex]a_n[/tex] =  868

4[tex]a_{n-1[/tex] + 20 = 868

4[tex]a_{n-1[/tex] = 868 - 20

[tex]a_{n-1[/tex] = 212

4[tex]a_{n-2[/tex] + 20 = 212

[tex]a_{n-2[/tex] = 48

and, [tex]a_{n-3[/tex] = 7

Hence, the number is 7.

Tickets for a drumline competition cost $5 at the gate and $3 in advance. One hundred more tickets were sold in advance than at the gate. The total revenue from ticket sales was $1990. How many tickets were sold in advance?

Answers

Answer:

The number of tickets sold at the gate is [tex] G = 211.25[/tex]

The number of tickets sold in advance is  [tex]  A = 311.25 [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

 The cost of a tickets at the gate is [tex]a =  \$ 5[/tex]  

  The cost of a ticket in advance is  [tex]b =  \$ 3[/tex]

Let the number of ticket sold in the gate be G

Let the number of ticket sold in advance  be   A

From the question we are told that

  One hundred more tickets were sold in advance than at the gate and this can be mathematically represented as

       [tex]G  +  100 =  A[/tex]

From the question we are told that

  The total revenue from ticket sales was $1990  and this can be mathematically represented as

    [tex]5 G  +  3A  =  1990[/tex]

substituting for  A in the equation above

    [tex]5 G  +  3[G  +  100]=  1990[/tex]    

    [tex]5 G  +  3G  +  300=  1990[/tex]    

    [tex] 8G  +  300=  1990[/tex]  

    [tex] 8G  =  1690[/tex]

=>  [tex] G = 211.25[/tex]

Substituting this for G in the above equation

     [tex]5 [211.25]  +  3A  =  1990[/tex]

=>    [tex]  3A  =  1990 - 1056.25[/tex]

79 and

113?

Ta

Answer

How to enter your answer

%

Answers

Answer:

68 %

Step-by-step explanation:

The Empirical rule formula states that:

• 68% of data falls within 1 standard deviation from the mean - that means between μ - σ and μ + σ.

• 95% of data falls within 2 standard deviations from the mean - between μ – 2σ and μ + 2σ.

• 99.7% of data falls within 3 standard deviations from the mean - between μ - 3σ and μ + 3σ.

Mean of 96 and a Standard deviation of 17

Applying , the first empirical rule for 1 standard deviation from the mean, we have:

μ - σ

96 - 17

= 79

μ + σ

96 + 17

= 113

Therefore, the percentage of IQ scores that are between 79 and 113 is 68%

12x^4 divided by 3x^2

Answers

Answer:

12x^4 divided by 3x^2 is 4x^2

Step-by-step explanation:

So what you basically do is 12 divided by 3 which is 4.

When you divide exponents, its basically subtracting the exponent while leaving the coefficient of x or whatever the same.

When you multiply exponents, you are literally adding the exponent while leaving the coefficient alone.

When you add exponents, you gotta have the same exponent and you can't add something like x^3 + x^7 because they don't have the same unit of the exponent, but you can only do that with multiplication or division.

So, since you are dividing, you "subtract" the exponent of x^4 by x^2 so you get x^2 since 4-2 equals 2.

X-intercepts: (8,0)

Answer:

Y-intercept: (0,-6)

X-intercept: (-8,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find an intercept, you have to know the difference in the two axis. The intercept is just where the plot line hits the axis. On the top, left side, you can see that the blue line his the black x-axis at -8 over to the right but it doesn't mover down. This means the x-intercept hits at (-8,0). On the upper, right side, you can see that the blue line his the black y-axis by not moving sideways, but it does go -6 down. This means that the y-intercept would be (0,-6).

(a) Find the 10th percentile of the blood pressures. (b) Find the 34th percentile of the blood pressures. (c) Find the third quartile of the blood pressures. Use the TI-84 Plus calculator and round the answers to at least two decimal places.

Answers

Answer:

A.) 67.78

B.) 76.48

C.) 87.34

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Mean (m) = 80.6

Standard deviation (σ) = 10

A.) 10th percentile :

10th percentile corresponds to a Zscore of - 1.282

Zscore = (x - m) / σ

-1.282 = (x - 80.6) / 10

-12.82 = x - 80.6

x = -12.82 + 80.6

x = 67.78

B.)34th percentile of blood pressure ;

34th percentile corresponds to a Zscore of - 0.412

Zscore = (x - m) / σ

-0.412 = (x - 80.6) / 10

-4.12 = x - 80.6

x = - 4.12 + 80.6

x = 76.48

C.) third quartile = 75% = 0.75

75th percentile corresponds to a Zscore of 0.674

Zscore = (x - m) / σ

0.674 = (x - 80.6) / 10

6.74 = x - 80.6

x = 6.74 + 80.6

x = 87.34

a)The 10th percentile of blood pressure is 67.78.

b)The 34th percentile of blood pressure is 76.48.

c)The third quartile of the blood pressure is 87.34.

Mean blood pressure μ= 80.6

Standard deviation σ= 10

From the normal standard table, the z-score corresponding to the 10th percentile = - 1.282

What is a z-score?

A z-score is a numerical measurement that describes a value's relationship to the mean of a group of values.

z= (x-μ) /σ

-1.282 = (x - 80.6) /10

-12.82 = x - 80.6

x = -12.82 + 80.6

x = 67.78

So, the 10th percentile of blood pressure is 67.78.

Similarly, the 34th percentile of blood pressure =76.48

The third quartile of the blood pressure =87.34

Therefore a) the 10th percentile of blood pressure is 67.78.

b)the 34th percentile of blood pressure is 76.48.

c)The third quartile of the blood pressure is 87.34.

The probability that an employee at a company uses illegal drugs is 0.08. The probability that an employee is male is 0.62. Assuming that these events are independent, what is the probability that a randomly chosen employee is a male drug user?

Answers

Answer: 0.0496

Step-by-step explanation:

If events are said to be independent it means that the probability of one happening does not affect the probability of the other.

In calculating the probability that an employee is both male and a drug user using independent events, multiply the probabilities of the individual events to find the probability of the the events happening together.

P(A) * P(B) = P(A and B)

0.08 * 0.62 = 0.0496

Probabilities are used to determine the chances of events.

The probability that a randomly chosen employee is a male drug user is 0.0496

Represent the two events as A and B, such that:

[tex]P(A) = 0.08[/tex]

[tex]P(B) =0.62[/tex]

So, the probability that a randomly chosen employee is a male drug user is calculated as:

[tex]P(A\ and\ B) =P(A) \times P(B)[/tex]

This gives

[tex]P(A\ and\ B) =0.08 \times 0.62[/tex]

Multiply

[tex]P(A\ and\ B) =0.0496[/tex]

Hence, the probability that a randomly chosen employee is a male drug user is 0.0496

For the 2nd problem subtract 3x-5x and 7 + 9 which brings you to -2x - 16 which means you would have to find x in this problem which means x has to be a negative. The negative answer is x= -32 since a negative x a negative is a positive. Which brings you to 16-16 and then 0. For the third one, you need to change the problem. Turn it into 5x - x = 4 + 8 which brings you to 4x = 12 making x =3. and for number 4 you need do the same as we just did and do 11x - 6x - 3x and then do 20 - 6 which brings you to 2x = 14 which makes  x=7.
