The student subtracted each side by 28, which is wrong because if u want to cancel -28, you need to add 28 to both sides. The correct answer is 403.
I need brainliest answer pls
Answer:
a. 250 fields
b. 220 to 280 fields
c. Fields are not independent
Step-by-step explanation:
a. The average number of fields sampled that are infested with whitefly =
number of fields X Percentage sampled, 10%
= 2500 X 10% = 250 fields
b. Going by the binomial distribution is the square of the standard deviation, divided by (the product of the sample size n, and the probability a and b). While the standard deviation is the square root of the variance
σ = √nab
= √na(1-a) = √2500 X 10% X (1- 10%)
= √225 = 15
Now let's use the empirical rule that says about 95% of the observations are within two standard deviations from the mean since the number of trials is very large
μ - 2σ = 250 - 2(15) = 220
μ + 2σ = 250 + 2(15) = 280
Approximately 220 to 280 fields are expected to be infested going by 95% probability observation
c. Since x=25 is considered small and is not captured within 220 and 280 fields making one of the characteristics of binomial experiment not satisfied which expects each field to be independent. Making fields that are close together more likely to be infected.
