One kind of plant has only blue flowers and white flowers. According to a genetic model, the offsprings of a certain cross have

a 0.75 chance to be blue-flowering, and a 0.25 chance to be white-flowering, independently of one another. Two hundred seeds of such a cross are raised, and 142 turn out to be blue-flowering. We are interested in determining whether the data are consistent with the model or, alternatively, the chance to be blue-flowering is smaller than 0.75. For this question, find the appropriate test statistic.

Answer:

There is not enough evidence to support the claim that the chance of this cross to be blue-flowering is significantly smaller than 0.75 (P-value = 0.11).

Test statistic z=-1.225.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a hypothesis test for a proportion.

The claim is that the chance to be blue-flowering is significantly smaller than 0.75.

Then, the null and alternative hypothesis are:

H_0: \pi=0.75\\\\H_a:\pi

The significance level is 0.05.

The sample has a size n=200.

The sample proportion is p=0.71.

p=X/n=142/200=0.71

The standard error of the proportion is:

\sigma_p=\sqrt{\dfrac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{0.75*0.25}{200}}\\\\\\ \sigma_p=\sqrt{0.000938}=0.031

Then, we can calculate the z-statistic as:

z=\dfrac{p-\pi+0.5/n}{\sigma_p}=\dfrac{0.71-0.75+0.5/200}{0.031}=\dfrac{-0.038}{0.031}=-1.225

This test is a left-tailed test, so the P-value for this test is calculated as:

\text{P-value}=P(z

As the P-value (0.11) is greater than the significance level (0.05), the effect is  not significant.

The null hypothesis failed to be rejected.

There is not enough evidence to support the claim that the chance to be blue-flowering is significantly smaller than 0.75.

storchak [24]

Answer:

The student will have 130 dollars in the bank at the end of week 11.

Step-by-step explanation:

Pattern:

The pattern given by this graphic is that:

For each passing week, the student will have $10 more in the bank than at the end of the previous week. So, following this pattern:

At the end of 6 weeks, he will have $80.

At the end of 7 weeks, he will have $90.

At the end of 8 weeks, he will have $100.

At the end of 9 weeks, he will have $110.

At the end of 10 weeks, he will have $120.

At the end of 11 weeks, he will have $130.

The student will have 130 dollars in the bank at the end of week 11.

1.- What type of parabola is this?
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

<u>Part 1</u>

<u>Sideways or "horizontal" parabola</u> with a horizontal axis of symmetry.

<u>Part 2</u>

The vertex is the turning point:  (-3, 1)

<u>Part 3</u>

Vertex form of a horizontal parabola:

x=a(y-k)^2+h    

where:

  • (h, k) is the vertex
  • a is some constant
    If a > 0 the parabola opens to the right.
    If a < 0 the parabola opens to the left.

Point on the curve:  (-1, 2)

Substituting the vertex and the found point into the formula and solving for a:

\implies -1=a(2-1)^2-3

\implies -1=a-3

\implies a=2

<u>Part 4</u>

Equation for the given parabola in vertex form:

x=2(y-1)^2-3

Equation in standard form:

x=2y^2-4y-1

ANSWER FAST PLZ !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
ryzh [129]

Answer:

more likely

Step-by-step explanation:

the probability of 0.05 suggests there is a chance of that event happening. A probability of 0 says that such event would never happen. so despite being small the 0.05 chance is higher than the probability of 0
