An article claims that 12% of trees are infested by a bark beetle. A random sample of 1,000 trees were tested for traces of the

infestation and found that 127 trees were affected.
z = p - p/p q/n
Using the formula and data provided, what is the value of the z-test statistic?

Answer: 0.6812

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p be the population proportion of trees are infested by a bark beetle.

As per given: p= 12%= 0.12

Sample size : n= 1000

Number of trees affected in sample = 1000

Sample proportion of trees are infested by a bark beetle. = \hat{p}=\dfrac{127}{1000}=0.127

Now, the z-test statistic : z=\dfrac{\hat{p}-p}{\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}}

So, z=\dfrac{0.127-0.12}{\sqrt{\dfrac{0.12\times 0.88}{1000}}}

z=\dfrac{0.007}{\sqrt{\dfrac{0.1056}{1000}}}\\\\\\=\dfrac{0.007}{\sqrt{0.0001056}}\\\\\\=\dfrac{0.007}{0.010276}\approx0.6812

Hence, the value of the z-test statistic = 0.6812 .

irga5000 [103]

Answer:

The interval that represents the middle 68% of her commute times is between 33.5 and 42.5 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Empirical Rule states that, for a normally distributed random variable:

Approximately 68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.

Approximately 95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviations of the mean.

Approximately 99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

In this problem, we have that:

Mean of 38 minutes, standard deviation of 4.5 minutes.

Determine the interval that represents the middle 68% of her commute times.

Within 1 standard deviation of the mean. So

38 - 4.5 = 33.5 minutes

38 + 4.5 = 42.5 minutes.

The interval that represents the middle 68% of her commute times is between 33.5 and 42.5 minutes.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

since EG bisects angle DEF

31 = x + 15

31 - 15 = x

x = 16 degree

6x - 4 = 56

6x = 56 + 4

x = 60/6

x = 10
