Draw it out first, so start out by drawing the mailbox (or just a line, it's math, not art) and then draw the 12 foot shadow. Okay, so now you know the other lamp is 10 feet tall.

The goal here is to find out the shadow of the 10 foot tall pole. So this would be x.

Making a proportion would help the most on this problem so you would say the following:

4 / 12 = 10/x, solve for x

genetic experiment with peas resulted in one sample of offspring that consisted of green peas and yellow peas. a. Construct a ​%
Andreas93 [3]

Complete Question

A genetic experiment with peas resulted in one sample of offspring that consisted of 432 green peas and 164 yellow peas. a. Construct a 95% confidence interval to estimate of the percentage of yellow peas. b. It was expected that 25% of the offspring peas would be yellow. Given that the percentage of offspring yellow peas is not 25%, do the results contradict expectations?

Answer:

The  95%  confidence interval is  0.2392  <  p < 0.3108

No, the confidence interval includes​ 0.25, so the true percentage could easily equal​ 25%

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The total sample size is  n  =  432 + 164 =596

   The  number of  offspring that is yellow peas is y =  432

   The  number of  offspring that is green peas   is g =  164

   

The sample proportion for offspring that are yellow peas is mathematically evaluated as

        \r p  =  \frac{ 164 }{596}

        \r p  =  0.275

Given the the  confidence level is  95% then the level of significance is mathematically represented as

       \alpha  =  (100 - 95)\%

      \alpha =  5\%  =  0.0 5

The  critical value of  \frac{\alpha }{2} from the normal distribution table is  

      Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } = 1.96

Generally the margin of error is mathematically evaluated as

        E =  Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } * \sqrt{\frac{\r p (1- \r p )}{n} }

=>      E = 1.96 * \sqrt{\frac{0.275 (1- 0.275 )}{596} }

=>      E =  0.0358

The  95%  confidence interval is mathematically represented as

      \r p - E  <  p < \r p + E

=>   0.275 -  0.0358  <  p < 0.275 +  0.0358

=>   0.2392  <  p < 0.3108

plz explain why!<br> Will be marked BRAINLIEST

ANSWER

Eva is correct because 13/2 + 3/2 = 8

There is no mistake. Dakota may have thought that there was a mistake because Eva simplified when she got the answer for 4x which is correct but Dakota may have thought that it was incorrect.
