Paramecia are unicellular protists that have contractile vacuoles to remove excess intracellular water. In an experimental inves

tigation, paramecia were places were placed in salt solutions of increasing osmolarity. The rate at which the contractile vacuole contracted in pump out excess water was determined and plotted against osmolarity of the solution, as shown is the graph. (Graph has negative slope; y-axis - rate of concentration, x-axis - osmolarity of solution.) Which of the following is the correct explanation for the data?
a. At higher osmolarity, lower rates of contraction are required because more salt diffuses into paramecia
b. The contraction rate increases as the osmolarity decreases becase of the reduced amount of ATP produced by cellular respiration
c. The contractile vacuole is less efficient in solutions of high osmolarity because of the reduced amount of ATP produced from cellular respiration
d. In an isosmotic salt solution, thre is no diffusion of water into or out of the paramecia, so the contraction rate is zero

A door delivery florist wishes to estimate the proportion of people in his city that will purchase his flowers. Suppose the true
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

99.74% probability that the sample proportion will be less than 0.1

Step-by-step explanation:

I am going to use the binomial approximation to the normal to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

Can be approximated to a normal distribution, using the expected value and the standard deviation.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

E(X) = np

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

When we are approximating a binomial distribution to a normal one, we have that \mu = E(X), \sigma = \sqrt{V(X)}.

In this problem, we have that:

n = 276, p = 0.06

So

\mu = E(X) = np = 276*0.06 = 16.56

\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{276*0.06*0.94} = 3.9454

What is the probability that the sample proportion will be less than 0.1

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 0.1*276 = 27.6. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{27.6 - 16.56}{3.9454}

Z = 2.8

Z = 2.8 has a pvalue of 0.9974

99.74% probability that the sample proportion will be less than 0.1
