The Environmental Protection Agency is concerned with the problem of setting criteria for the amounts of certain toxic chemicals

to be allowed in freshwater lakes and rivers. A common measure of toxicity for any pollutant is the concentration of the pollutant that will kill half of the test species in a given amount of time (usually 96 hours for fish species). This measure is called LC50 (lethal concentration killing 50% of the test species). In many studies, the values contained in the natural logarithm of LC50 measurements are normally distributed, and, hence, the analysis is based on ln(LC50) data. Studies of the effects of copper on a certain species of fish (say, species A) show the variance of ln(LC50) measurements to be around .4 with concentration measurements in milligrams per liter. If n = 10 studies on LC50 for copper are to be completed, find the probability that the sample mean of ln(LC50) will differ from the true population mean by no more than .5.

Answer:

PROBABILITY, P = 0.9999

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Going by the central limiting theorem:

z= (x⁻ - μ) /( б√n)   Follows normal distribution with mean 0 and variance 1.

Where

x⁻= sample mean,

μ = population mean,

б = population standard deviation

n= sample size

The required probability is

 P(z < 0.5/(0.4/√ 10)

=P(z < 3.95)

P = 0.9999

Thus, probability, P=0.9999

Is (2,2) a solution of the system
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

Hi, you don't provide us with the system here...

to figure out if 2,2 is a solution of the system, you have to plug the value of 2 in for both x and y in the system, and solve to see if it comes out or not...

If you provide the system I can definitely help you out more specifically!

natka813 [3]

Answer:

0.411^5 times 0.599

Step-by-step explanation:

0.599 chance of landing on heads.

0.411 chance of not landing on heads.

0.411 times 0.411 times 0.411 times 0.411 times 0.411 (for the 5 flips that do not land on heads) times 0.599 (for the time that it does land on heads).
