An evolutionary biologist examined the relative fitness of Escherichia coli bacteria grown for 2000 generations, about 300 days,

at stressful acidic pH 5.5 and their parental generation, grown and preserved at pH 7.2. Both types were later grown together in an acidic medium, and their relative fitness was computed. The experiment was replicated with 6 different lines of E. coli, giving the following relative fitness values: 1.24 1.22 1.23 1.24 1.18 1.09 A relative fitness of 1 indicates that both bacteria types are equally fit. A relative fitness larger than 1 indicates that the acid-evolved line is more fit than the parental line kept at neutral pH when both are grown in acidic conditions (that is, the acid-evolved bacteria grew the most). Do the data provide evidence that bacteria evolved in acidic pH are better adapted to acidic conditions, at a significant level a = 0.05?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

The variable of interest is:

X: fitness of a line of E. coli grown on an acidic environment.

n= 6 E. coli lines

Recorded fitness for each line: 1.24, 1.22, 1.23, 1.24, 1.18, 1.09

The relative fitness of 1 indicates that both bacteria types are equally fit.

A relative fitness larger than 1 indicates that the acid-evolved line is more fit than the parental line kept at neutral pH when both are grown in acidic conditions.

Meaning that if the average fitness of the E. coli lines grown on an acidic environment is greater than 1 then they are better adjusted to live in acidic conditions, symbolically: μ > 1

The statistic hypotheses are:

H₀: μ ≤ 1

H₁: μ > 1

α: 0.05

Assuming that the variable has a normal distribution you have to apply a one-sample t-test:

t= \frac{X[bar]-Mu}{\frac{S}{\sqrt{n} } } ~~t_{n-1}

X[bar]= 1.20

S= 0.06

t_{H_0}= \frac{1.20-1}{\frac{0.06}{\sqrt{6} } } = 8.40

The p-value for this test is 0.0002

Since the p-value= 0.0002 is less than α:0.05 the decision is to reject the null hypothesis.

Then at a 5% significance level, there is significant evidence to conclude that the bacteria evolved in acidic pH are better adapted to acidic conditions.

I hope you have a SUPER day!

(Algebra II) Extra points!!Determine whether y varies directly with x
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

  • k = 1.6
  • y = 1.6x

Step-by-step explanation:

If the variation is proportional dividing the y-value by the x-value will give the same result for all table entries. That quotient is the constant of variation (k).

Here 6.4/4 = 11.2/7 = 16/10 = 20.8/13 = 1.6

The value of y varies directly as x, and the constant of variation is 1.6. The equation is ...

  y = 1.6x
