Researchers are studying two populations of sea turtles. In population D, 30 percent of the turtles have a shell length greater

than 2 feet. In population E, 20 percent of the turtles have a shell length greater than 2 feet. From a random sample of 40 turtles selected from D, 15 had a shell length greater than 2 feet. From a random sample of 60 turtles selected from E, 11 had a shell length greater than 2 feet. Let pˆD represent the sample proportion for D, and let pˆE represent the sample proportion for E.
(a) What is the value of the difference pˆD−pˆE? Show your work.

Answer:

p^D-p^E=0.192  

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Population D:

30% of the turtles have a shell length greater than 2 feet.

Sample size,

n_D = 40

Number of turtles that had shell length greater than 2 feet,

x_D = 15

Sample proportion:

p^D=\dfrac{x_D}{n_D} =\dfrac{15}{40} = 0.375

Population E:

20% of the turtles have a shell length greater than 2 feet.

Sample size,

n_E = 60

Number of turtles that had shell length greater than 2 feet,

x_E = 11

Sample proportion:

p^E=\dfrac{x_E}{n_E} =\dfrac{11}{60} = 0.183

We have to find the difference between the sample proportion.

Difference in sample proportion =

=p^D-p^E\\=0.375-0.183\\=0.192

In triangle XYZ, shown below, angle X measures 53.8°, and angle Y measures 63.1°. Note: triangle is not drawn to scale If triang
yaroslaw [1]

A. 63.1°

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Whatever it may be reflection, rotation or translation, the angle or size of the triangle will not change.

As we know that the sum of angles in a triangle is 180°.

In ΔX'Y'Z', ∠X' + ∠Y' + ∠Z' = 180°

53.8° + 63.1° + ∠Z' = 180°

116.9° + ∠Z' = 180°

∠Z'= 180° - 116.9°

   = 63.1°

tester [92]

Answer: 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The American Lung Association stated that approximately 1 out of every 20 deaths in the US last year was from lung cancer.

Then, the proportion of death will be :_

p=\dfrac{1}{20}=0.05

Now, If there are 200 students in a class,  then the expected number of persons die from lung cancer :-

p\times200\\\\=(0.050)\times200=10

Hence, we expect the number of persons die from lung cancer =10
