Suppose the size of a population of mustard plants is 6,000. According to genetic drift theory, what is the probability that a n

ewly-arisen mutation will become fixed in this population?

Answer:

1/12,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Size of a population of mustard plants = 6,000

Now,

According to genetic drift theory

The probability that a newly-arisen mutation will become fixed is given using the formula

⇒ 1 ÷ [ 2 × Size of a population of mustard plants ]

⇒ 1 ÷ [ 2 ×6,000 ]

⇒ [ 1 ÷ 12,000 ]

Hence,

probability that a newly-arisen mutation will become fixed in this population is 1/12,000

NO LINKS. Find the measure of the angle or arc indicated. Part 2<br>​
sergeinik [125]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  14.  C) 136°

  15.  C) 40°

Step-by-step explanation:

Inscribed angles are half the measure of the arc they intercept. For an inscribed quadrilateral, this means opposite angles are supplementary.

__

14) ∠H +∠W = 180°

  34x +55x +2 = 180

  89x = 178 . . . . . . . . . subtract 2

  x = 2 . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 89

  arc VX = 2(34x) = 68(2) = 136 . . . degrees

__

15) The sum of angles in the triangle is 180°.

  ? + 80° + (120°/2) = 180°

  ? = 40° . . . . . . . . . . subtract 140°

Assume the population has a normal distribution. A sample of 25 randomly selected students Has a mean test score of 81.5 With a
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

The 90% confidence interval for the mean test score is between 77.29 and 85.71.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the standard deviation for the sample, so we use the t-distribution to solve this question.

The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So

df = 25 - 1 = 24

90% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 24 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of 1 - \frac{1 - 0.9}{2} = 0.95. So we have T = 2.064

The margin of error is:

M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 2.064\frac{10.2}{\sqrt{25}} = 4.21

In which s is the standard deviation of the sample and n is the size of the sample.

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 81.5 - 4.21 = 77.29

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 81.5 + 4.21 = 85.71.

The 90% confidence interval for the mean test score is between 77.29 and 85.71.

Equations which are never true:

2.1 Solve : -2 = 0

This equation has no solution.
A a non-zero constant never equals zero.
Solving a Single Variable Equation:

2.2 Solve : x-16 = 0

Add 16 to both sides of the equation :
x = 16
