So hmm check the picture below, so the segment BZ is split in 6 pieces, 5 go to BH and HZ takes 1

$\bf \left. \qquad \right.\textit{internal division of a line segment}
\\\\\\
B(3, -1)\qquad Z(12,5)\qquad
ratio1=5\qquad ratio2=1\qquad 5:1
\\\\\\
\cfrac{BH}{HZ} = \cfrac{5}{1}\implies \cfrac{B}{Z} = \cfrac{5}{1}\implies 1\cdot B=5\cdot Z
\\\\\\
1(3,-1)=5(12,5)\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\$

$\bf { H=\left(\cfrac{\textit{sum of "x" values}}{ratio1+ratio2}\quad ,\quad \cfrac{\textit{sum of "y" values}}{ratio1+ratio2}\right)}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
H=\left(\cfrac{(1\cdot 3)+(5\cdot 12)}{5+1}\quad ,\quad \cfrac{(1\cdot -1)+(5\cdot 5)}{5+1}\right)$

Using a sequencing method called "RNAseq," a researcher determines the level of FOXP2 expression

Wewaii [24]

The Z-score is 2.306 to three decimal places. However, the Z-test statistic value shows that it is greater than the Z-critical value, so we reject the null hypothesis $\mathbf{H_o}$

<h3>What is the Z-score of a test statistic?</h3>

A z-score is a measurement of how often standard deviations the score obtained from a z-test is beyond or under the mean population.

From the given data information, let us find the mean and the standard deviation.

$\mathbf{Mean (\bar x) = \dfrac{1154+5998+1007+...3987+4187+887}{10}}$

$\mathbf{Mean (\bar x) = \dfrac{24256}{10}}$

Mean (x) = 2425.6

The hypothesis testing can be computed as:

$\mathbf{H_o: \mu = 2425.6}$

$\mathbf{H_1: \mu \ne 2425.6}$

The standard deviation (σ) is:

$\mathbf{=\mathbf{ \sqrt{\dfrac{(1154-2425.6)^2+....+(887-2425.6)^2}{10-1}}}}$

$\mathbf{= \sqrt{3199489}}$

= 1788.71

Now, the Z-test statistic is determined using the formula:

$\mathbf{|Z| = |\dfrac{\bar x - \mu }{\sigma}| }$

$\mathbf{|Z| = |\dfrac{2425.6 -6550 }{1788.71}| }$

$\mathbf{|Z| = |-2.3058| }$

Z ≅ 2.306

Therefore, at a 0.05 level of significance, the Z-critical value is 2.306. However, since the Z-test statistic value shows that it is greater than the Z-critical value, so we reject the null hypothesis $\mathbf{H_o}$

The complete question is given as:

Using a sequencing method called "RNAseq," a researcher determines the level of FOXP2 expression in 10 different samples of lung tissue, and obtains these data:

1154 5998 1007 2501 1000 988 2547 3987 4187 887

Scientist has previously determined that FOXP2 is expressed in brain tissue at a level of 6,550. Calculate the Z-score associated with a test to see if the average expression of FOXP in her lung tissue samples is different from the levels she measured from brain tissue.

uysha [10]

Answer:

$647,673

Step-by-step explanation:

Since each lawn is $39 to mow, you would multiply 16,607 by 39 and you would get $647,673.

Answer:

20 boxes

Step-by-step explanation:

10 boxes are 137.5kg

=> the number of boxes can add :

(450-137.5)/15.5 = 20 (boxes)
