Answer:

There are 118 plants that weight between 13 and 16 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

For any normal random variable X with mean μ and standard deviation σ : X ~ Normal(μ, σ)  

This can be translated into standard normal units by :  

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

Let X be the weight of the plant  

X ~ Normal( 15 , 1.75 )  

To find : P( 13 < X < 16 )  

= P(\frac{( 13 - 15 )}{1.75} < Z < \frac{( 16 - 15 )}{1.75})

= P( -1.142857 < Z < 0.5714286 )  

= P( Z < 0.5714286 ) - P( Z < -1.142857 )  

= 0.7161454 - 0.1265490  

= 0.5895965  

So, the probability that any one of the plants weights between 13 and 16 pounds is 0.5895965  

Hence, The expected number of plants out of 200 that will weight between 13 and 16 = 0.5895965 × 200

                                            = 117.9193  

Therefore, There are 118 plants that weight between 13 and 16 pounds.

An NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll conducted in 2010 predicted that 61% of Americans did not support the Tea Party movement. I
fomenos

Answer:

The right answer is:

The poll provides strong evidence that more than 61% of Americans oppose the Tea Party movement this year. Why? The P-value (0.026) is less than the significance level of 5%.

Step-by-step explanation:

At a level of significance of 5%, a P-value of 0.026 (2.6%) means that the difference is significant and the null hypothesis is rejected.

The difference between the proportions is significant, what means that more than 61% of Americans oppose the Tea Party movement this year.

Note: The difference in the sample proportions (3%) is not enough to claim that the difference is significant.

The right answer is:

The poll provides strong evidence that more than 61% of Americans oppose the Tea Party movement this year. Why? The P-value (0.026) is less than the significance level of 5%.

How √225 and √223 are different by their nature ??
denis23 [38]
Here, we know, √225 = 25 (perfect squared)
whereas √223 is not a perfect squared.

So, √225 would be "Rational" whereas √223 would be "Irrational" by the nature.

Hope this helps!
