Answer:
Therefore x=9
Step-by-step explanation:
Give that,
log x+ log (x-3) = log 54
log x(x-3) =log 54 [ ]
x(x-3) = 54
Now expand the above equation to get a quadratic equation
x²-3x=54
⇒x²-9x+6x-54=0
⇒x(x-9)+6(x-9)=0
⇒(x-9)(x+6)=0
⇒x-9=0 or, x+6=0
⇒x=9,-6
Now putting x= -6 in the given expression,
log(-6)+log(-6-9)=log 54.
Since log (-6) does not exist.
Therefore x=9
Answer:
More than 50% would germinate
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that in the production of a plant, a treatment is being evaluated to germinate seed. From a total of 60 seed it was observed that 37 of them germinated
Let us check whether more than 50% will germinate using hypothesis test
(right tailed test)
Sample proportion p =
p difference = 0.117
Test statistic Z = p difference/std error = 1.864
p value =0.0312
Since p value <0.05 our significance level of 5% we reject null hypothesis
It is possible to claim that most of the seed will germinate (i.e. more than 50%)
