An article claims that 12% of trees are infested by a bark beetle. A random sample of 1,000 trees were tested for traces of the infestation and found that 127 trees were affected. what is the value of the z-test statistic?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The value of the z-test statistic is [tex]z = 0.68[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

An article claims that 12% of trees are infested by a bark beetle.

At the null hypothesis, we test if the proportion is of 12%, that is:

[tex]H_0: p = 0.12[/tex]

At the alternative hypothesis, we test if the proportion is different of 12%, that is:

[tex]H_1: p \neq 0.12[/tex]

The test statistic is:

[tex]z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]

In which X is the sample mean, [tex]\mu[/tex] is the value tested at the null hypothesis, [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation and n is the size of the sample.

0.12 is tested at the null hypothesis:

This means that [tex]\mu = 0.12, \sigma = \sqrt{0.12*0.88}[/tex]

A random sample of 1,000 trees were tested for traces of the infestation and found that 127 trees were affected.

This means that [tex]n = 1000, X = \frac{127}{1000} = 0.127[/tex]

What is the value of the z-test statistic?

[tex]z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]

[tex]z = \frac{0.127 - 0.12}{\frac{\sqrt{0.12*0.88}}{\sqrt{1000}}}[/tex]

[tex]z = 0.68[/tex]

The value of the z-test statistic is [tex]z = 0.68[/tex]

Environmental researchers have collected rain acidity data for several decades. They want to see if there is any evidence that attempts to reduce industrial pollution have produced a trend toward less acidic rainfall. They should display their data in a(n)... a. Bar graph b. Time plot c. Histogram d. Box plot

Answers

Answer:

Time plot

Step-by-step explanation:

The data from which a plot or graph is to be generated will have only one variable, which is the rain acidity, that is acidity level of Rainfall over a certain period. However, the data gbwre is time dependent, hence, it is a time series plot. Hence, this is a two dimensional univariate plot, with the acidity label of Rainfall on one axis and time on the other. Therefore, the graph which is best to display such information is the time series plot.

A group of people were asked if they had run a red light in the last year. 315 responded "yes", and 190 responded "no".

Find the probability that if a person is chosen at random, they have run a red light in the last year.



Give your answer as a fraction or decimal accurate to at least 3 decimal places

Answers

Answer:

0.624

Step-by-step explanation:

Number who have run a red light = 315

Number who haven't run a red light = 190

From the data :

The total number of people sampled = total possible outcome = (315 + 190) = 505

Selecting a person at random, probability that the selected person has run a red light :

P = required outcome / Total possible outcomes

Required outcome = Number who have run a red light = 315

P(having run a red light) = 315 / 505 = 0.624

Which of the following is not an example of a parent function?
y=x
y=2x^3
y=1/2
y=2^x

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  (b)  y=2x^3

Step-by-step explanation:

The function y=2x^3 is an example of the parent function y=x^3 being vertically scaled by a factor of 2. As such, it is not the parent function.

_____

Additional comment

A parent function is one that has not been translated or scaled in any way. One could argue that the parent function of the form y=constant is y=1, so that the function y=1/2 has been scaled by a factor of 1/2. In this problem, we recognize the parent function y=x^3 has clearly been scaled to get y=2x^3, so the latter is not an example of a parent function.

If this is a "check all that apply" question, then y=1/2 is another reasonable answer.

What is the slope of the line passing through (-3, 5) and (5, -3)?

Answers

Answer:

The line has a slope of -1.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for the slope of the line, use the rise over run formula. The rise over run formula is a measure of how much something changes vertically compared to how much it changes in the horizontal direction. The rise over run formula calculates the difference between the two points in the vertical direction (rise) and then divide it by the difference in the horizontal direction (run). The formula looks like [tex]\frac{rise}{run}[/tex], but in terms of finding a slope, it looks like [tex]\frac{y_{2 }-y_{1} }{x_{2} -x_{1} }[/tex].

For finding the slope of this line with the points (-3,5) and (5,-3), start by writing down the information given from the question.

[tex]y_{2}=-3[/tex]

[tex]y_{1}= 5[/tex]

[tex]x_{2}=5[/tex]

[tex]x_{1} =-3[/tex]

Next, plug in the information given from the question into the formula, and the formula will look like [tex]\frac{-3-(5)}{5-(-3)}[/tex]. Then, simplify the equation, which will look like  [tex]\frac{-8}{8}=-1[/tex]. The final answer will be -1.

Step-by-step explanation:

It helps to know what CPCTC means and how it's used.

CPCTC means "corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent."

To use it, you must first either prove two triangles to be congruent or be given that two triangles are congruent.

Once you have the congruent triangles, then you state that two corresponding parts of those triangles are congruent, and you use CPCTC as the reason.

In step 4, the triangles are proven congruent by SSS.

Then CPCTC can be used as reason 5 for stating that the corresponding angles A and C are congruent.

Suppose you are asked to take a sample of men and women in order to measure their emotional IQ. The emotional IQ scale that you administer has a minimum of 0 and a maximum of 100, with higher scores indicating higher emotional intelligence (the range of the scale is not pertinent to the question -- I simply provide it so that you have some context in which to provide your answer). You sample 25 men and 25 women. The mean for men is 70 with a standard deviation of 10 and the mean for women is 82 with a standard deviation of 15.

Required:
What is the 99% confidence interval for the scores of men and women?

Answers

Answer:

The 99% confidence interval for the scores of men is (64.406,75.594).

The 99% confidence interval for the scores of women is (73.609,90.391).

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the standard deviations for the sample, which means that the t-distribution will be used to solve this question.

The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So

df = 25 - 1 = 24

99% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 24 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of [tex]1 - \frac{1 - 0.99}{2} = 0.995[/tex]. So we have T = 2.797.

For men:

Standard deviation of 10.

The margin of error is:

[tex]M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 2.797\frac{10}{\sqrt{25}} = 5.594[/tex]

In which s is the standard deviation of the sample and n is the size of the sample.

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 70 - 5.594 = 64.406

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 70 + 5.594 = 75.594

The 99% confidence interval for the scores of men is (64.406,75.594).

For women:

Standard deviation of 15.

The margin of error is:

[tex]M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 2.797\frac{15}{\sqrt{25}} = 8.391[/tex]

In which s is the standard deviation of the sample and n is the size of the sample.

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 82 - 8.391 = 73.609

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 82 + 8.391 = 90.391

The 99% confidence interval for the scores of women is (73.609,90.391).

MP of an article is $1400. Find the SP of that article in cents if the shopkeeper adds 13% VAT after allowing 45% discount. (100 cents =$1)​

Answers

Answer:

87,010 cents is the SP.

Step-by-step explanation:

MP = $1400

VAT = 13%

Discount = 45%

so,

discount amount = 45% of MP

= 45% of $1400

= 45/100 * $1400

= 9/20 * $1400

= 9* $70

= $630

so,

MP - discount amount

= $1400 - $630

= $770(SP)

so,

VAT amount = 13% of SP

= 13% of $770

= 13/100 * $770

= $100.1

so,

SP + VAT

= $770 + $100.1

= $870.1

so,

$1 = 100 cents

$870.1 = 100*870.1

= 87,010 cents
