Could -free, automatic faucets actually be housing more bacteris than the old fashioned, manual kind The concern is that decreas

ed water flow may increase the chance that bacteria grows, because the automatic faucets are not being thoroughly flushed through. It is known that 15% of cultures from older faucets in hospital patient care areas test positive for Legionella bacteria. A recent study at Johns Hopkins Hospital found Legionella bacteria growing in 10 of cultured water samples from 20 electronic faucets aIf the probability of Legionella bacteria growing in a faucet is 0.15, what is the prob ability that in a sample of 20 faucets. 10 or more have the bacteria growing (the Johns Hopkins study provide sufficient evidence that the probability of Legionella bacteria growing in electronic faucets is greater than 15%? Explain.

Answer:

Not enough evidence to reject Null hypothesis

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution:-

- A comparative study for bacterial growth in manual and electronic faucets is made.

- It is observed that there is a higher growth in electronic faucets due to slower flow rates, i.e electronic faucets are not thoroughly flushed; hence, giving more resident time for the scaled bacteria to grow.

- It is known that 15% of cultures from older faucets were tested positive for the Legionella bacteria.

- A study at John Hopkins was conducted on a sample n = 20 electronic faucets with the probability of bacteria growing in a faucet is 0.15.

- We will conduct a hypothesis for at-least half proportion of electronic faucets have cultured bacteria.

- State the hypothesis for the proportion of electronic faucets culturing Legionella bacteria:

        Null Hypothesis:  P = 0.15

        Alternate hypothesis: P > 0.15    

- To determine the test statistics for the study conducted at John hopkins. We had a sample size of n = 20, and the probability for a bacteria to grow in a faucet is 0.15.

- Denote random variable, X: The number of electronic faucets culturing Legionella bacteria.

- Since, the probability for a bacteria to grow in a faucet is independent for each new faucet. We will assume the RV " X " to follow binomial distribution with probability of success 0.15:

                      X ~ Bin ( 20 , 0.15 )                  

- We are to determine that at-least half of the sample is subjected to the said bacteria. This is the probability of P ( X ≥ 10 ).

- The pmf for a binomially distributed random variable X is given below:

                     P ( X = r ) = n_C__r * ( p(success) )^r * ( p (fail) )^(^n^-^r^)

Where,

            p ( success ) = 0.15

            p ( fail ) = 1 - p ( success ) = 1 - 0.15 = 0.85

- Use the pmf to determine the required test statistics:

P ( X \geq 10 ) = 1 - P ( X \leq  9 )\\\\P ( X \geq 10 ) = 1 - [ (0.85)^2^0 + 20*(0.15)*(0.85)^1^9 + 20_C_2 (0.15)^2*(0.85)^1^8 +\\\\ 20_C_3 (0.15)^3*(0.85)^1^7 + 20_C_4 (0.15)^4*(0.85)^1^6 + 20_C_5 (0.15)^5*(0.85)^1^5+\\\\ 20_C_6 (0.15)^6*(0.85)^1^4 + 20_C_7 (0.15)^7*(0.85)^1^3 + 20_C_8 (0.15)^8*(0.85)^1^2 + \\\\ 20_C_9 (0.15)^9*(0.85)^1^1\\\\\\P ( X \geq 10 ) = 1 - [  0.03875 + 0.13679 + 0.22933 + 0.24282 + 0.18212 + 0.10284 + \\\\ 0.04537 + 0.01601 + 0.00459 + 0.00108 ]\\\\

P ( X \geq 10 ) = 1 - [ 0.997 ] = 0.003

- The probability that 10 or more electronic faucets is found to have Legionella bacteria growing is 0.003              

- The test proportion of 10 and more electronic faucets have culturing bacteria is p = 0.003.

- Assuming normality of the population, the Z-statistics would be:

                  Z-test = \frac{ (p - P) \sqrt{n} }{\sqrt{P*(1 - P )} } \\\\Z-test = \frac{ (0.003 - 0.15) \sqrt{20} }{\sqrt{0.15*(0.85)} } \\\\Z-test = -1.84109

- If we were to test the claim to 90% level of confidence:

                  significance level (α) = 1 - CI = 1 - 0.9 = 0.1

- The rejection region Z-critical is defined by a right-tail:

                 Z-critical \geq Z_\alpha \geq Z_0_._2\\\\Z-critical \geq 1.28    

- Compare the test statistics with the rejection criteria defined by the Z-critical:

                Z-test < Z-critical

                -1.84 < 1.28

Conclusion:

There is not enough evidence that the probability of Legionella bacteria growing in electronic faucets is greater than 15%.

For each pair of triangles,tell:(a) are they congruent(b)write the triangle congruency statement.(c) Give the postulate that mak
pychu [463]
All right...before we begin, let's lay some ground rules about the postulate your teacher asks for in every problem. <em>If you already know what they are, skip this paragraph...</em>

A postulate is a statement that claims how the triangles are congruent from looking at the paper. For example, on number 2 we have three sides of the triangle so we would use the postulate SSS (side, side, side). However, number one we would use SAS (side, angle, side) because we see the angle square showing it is a 90-degree angle.
Let's begin! (I haven't done triangles in a while so I apologize in advance if some of my answers might be incorrect on the congruent (yes or no) part of it.)

1.
A) From a visual perspective, we can see the triangles are congruent.
B) ABE = CDE because they are the corresponding points.
C) We can use SAS for the postulate.

2.
A) Yes, they are congruent.
B) OLE = OVE
C) We can use SSS for their postulate.

3.
A) Yes, they are congruent.
B) AWT = ERT
C) We can use SAS for the postulate.

4.
A) I believe the triangles are congruent. You might want to check me on that.
B) GFE = FGH
C) SSS

5.
A) They are congruent because if IH bisects it, it is directly in the middle. So, we know that WH = HS and IH = IH (duh.) and their angles match.
B) WHI = SHI
C) SAS

6.
A) This one is intriguing because it would state above the shape "LE bisects LGUE." I'm going to take that it isn't exactly in the middle, but I am still going to say it is congruent.
B) LGE = EUL
C) ASA

7.
A) Yes, they are definitely congruent.
B) RTU = TRS
C) SSS (We have nothing that indicates angles.)

8.
A) Yes, they are congruent.
B) YWV = VZY
C) We can use SAS. (Might want to check that one.)

9.
A) I would say this one is NOT congruent.
B) There are only two points. One way is HT = MA
C) They are not congruent, you can not use a postulate. However, if you teacher insists on putting one, I would use SAS.

Once again, I would be careful about my answers. I haven't worked with triangles in a few years. If my math is incorrect, or I didn't give the answer you were looking for, please let me know. However, if my math is on point, please consider marking as <em>Brainliest</em>.

Have a good one.
God Bless.
