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!

A painter is placing a ladder to reach the third story window, which is 12 feet above the ground and makes an angle of 80 degree
mash [69]
We know that
tan ∅=opposite side angle ∅/adjacent side angle ∅
adjacent side angle ∅=opposite side angle/tan ∅

in this problem
see the attached figure to better understand the problem
angle ∅=80°
opposite side angle ∅=12 ft  (AB)
adjacent side angle ∅=? (AC)
adjacent side angle ∅=12/tan 80°------> 2.12 ft

the answer is
2.12 ft
