Tumor counts: A cancer laboratory is estimating the rate of tumorigenesis in two strains of mice, A and B. They have tumor count

data for 10 mice in strain A and 13 mice in strain B. Type A mice have been well studied, and information from other laboratories suggests that type A mice have tumor counts that are approximately Poisson-distributed with a mean of 12. Tumor count rates for type B mice are unknown, but type B mice are related to type A mice. The observed tumor counts for the two populations are

Answer:

The observed tumor counts for the two populations of mice are:

Type A mice = 10 * 12 = 120 counts

Type B mice = 13 * 12 = 156 counts

Step-by-step explanation:

Since type B mice are related to type A mice and given that type A mice have tumor counts that are approximately Poisson-distributed with a mean of 12, we can then assume that the mean of type A mice tumor count rate is equal to the mean of type B mice tumor count rate.

This is because the Poisson distribution can be used to approximate the the mean and variance of unknown data (type B mice count rate) using known data (type A mice tumor count rate).  And the Poisson distribution gives the probability of an occurrence within a specified time interval.

The midpoint of AB is M (0, -3). If the coordinates of AA are (2, 1) what are the coordinates of BB?
frez [133]

Answer:

B(-2, -7)

Step-by-step explanation:

Midpoint is (0, -3)

A(x₁, y₁) B(x₂, y₂)

A(2, 1)

Midpoint = (\frac{x_{1} + x_{2} }{2}, \frac{y_{1} + y_{2} }{2} )\\\\Midpoint = (\frac{2+ x_{2} }{2}, \frac{1 + y_{2} }{2} )

(0, -3) = (\frac{2+ x_{2} }{2}, \frac{1 + y_{2} }{2} )

              \frac{2+ x_{2} }{2} = 0\\\\2 + x_{2} = 0\ \ \ \ times\ both\ sides\ by\ 2\\x_{2} = -2\ \ \ \ subtract\ both\ sides\ by\ 2

              \frac{1 + y_{2} }{2} = -3\\\\1 + y_{2} = -6\ \ \ \ times\ both\ sides\ by\ 2\\y_{2} = -7\ \ \ \ subtract\ both\ sides\ by\ 1

∴ B(-2, -7)

Ahmed wrote two numbers. The first number has a 7 in its tenths place. The second number has a 7 with a value that is 1,000 time
Stels [109]

Answer: In the hundreds place.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. You know that the first number has a 7 in its tenths place. This means that it is after the decimal point. You can write is as following:

x.7

Where x represents the other digits.

2. The second number has a 7 with a value that is 1,000 times greater than the value of the 7 in the first number, this means that you can know the place of the 7 in the second number if you multiply the first number by 1,000, or in other words, move the decimal point three places to the rigth. Therefore:

x.7*1000=7xx

3. As you can see, the 7 is in the hundred place in the second number.
