60 years is three half life for the substance, so 40*1/2^3=5
Testosterone is a steroid. Its physiological functions are:
Determines the the gender of a developing embryo
Development of reproductive organs and the prostrate gland in males
Responsible for secondary sexual characteristics in males such as deeper pitch, increased muscle bulk, hair on the upper lip
Regulates normal sperm development
Another is cholesterol. Physiological functions are:
Helps maintain the structure of cells and vessels improving overall health and function in the body.
Percursor to important sex hormones such as testosterone and estrogen.
Used as an insulator around nerves and is absolutely essential for brain function.
Precursor to Vitamin D, which supports a healthy immune and nervous system
Answer:
25%
Explanation:
According to this question, a seek stored seeds of a rare and endangered plant. In order to ensure that the seeds remain fresh, 120 seeds are selected to be grown. However, out of these 120 seeds, only 90 germinated. This means that only 90 of 120 seeds are fertile.
This further means that (120-90) = 30 seeds are infertile and hence, could not germinate. In percentage, this can be represented as:
30/120 × 100
= 1/4 × 100
= 100/4
= 25% of the selected seeds are infertile.
Claim: the mean resting pulse rate for men is less than 72
bpm.
Symbolic form would be: μ < 72
Step 1: null hypothesis : μ > = 7 2 b p m
Step 2: alternative hypothesis: μ < 7 2 b p m
Step 3: the test statistic is z = mean – μ / standard dev/sqrt (n) = -3/4 / 1.7639 = -1.92
Step 4: c v method: since z α = -1.645, the test static is z = -1.92 is less than the CV, we reject null hypothesis
P Value method: area is 0.0274, since the p value is <= α, reject null hypothesis.
Step 5: the sample data support the claim that the mean resting pulse rate for men is less than 72 bpm.
