Suppose that 30% of a population carries a certain gene. You want to estimate the probability that it will take at least a sampl

e of four to find a person that carries the gene, how could you simulate a person having or not having the gene?
A) 0, 1, 2 could represent a person that carries the gene, and 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 could represent a person that does not carry the gene.

B) 0, 1, 2, 3 could represent a person that carries the gene, and 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 could represent a person that does not carry the gene.

C) 0, 1, 2 could represent a person that does not carry the gene, and 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 could represent a person that carries the gene.

D) 0, 1, 2, 3 could represent a person that does not carry the gene, and 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 could represent a person that carries the gene.

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Since only 30% of the population carries the gene, that would mean 70% doesn't carry it. Since you are using 10 digits for this experiment (0-9) this would mean that 0-2 would carry the gene (this equals 30%) and 3-9 would not (70%)

As your testing H0:p=0.79, then you have a two-tailed test.

The p-value at two-tailed test is given by:

\begin{gathered} p=P(Z\leq-z)+P(Z\ge z) \\ p=P(Z\leq-z)+(1-P(Z\leq z) \\ p=2P(Z\leq-z) \\ 0.79=2P(Z\leq-z) \\ P(Z\leq-z)=\frac{0.79}{2} \\ P(Z\leq-z)=0.395 \end{gathered}

Then, you need to check into the standard normal cumulative table to find at which -z you do have a probability of 0.395. Thus:

As you can see in the picture at z=-0.26 you have a P(Z<=-z)=0.3974

And at z=-0.27 you have a P(Z<=-z)=0.3936.

The average of these values is:

\frac{0.3974+0.3936}{2}=0.3955

Then, you have a probability of 0.395 at a z of:

\frac{-0.26+(-0.27)}{2}=-0.265

Then -z=-0.27, thus z=0.27

Question 10
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

$11,500 was invested at 13%.

$17,500 was invested at 4%

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a simple interest problem.

The simple interest formula is given by:

E = P*I*t

In which E is the amount of interest earned, P is the principal(the initial amount of money), I is the interest rate(yearly, as a decimal) and t is the time.

After t years, the total amount of money is:

T = E + P

In this question:

Loans totaling 29,000.

P was invested at 13%

29000 - P was invested at 4%.

First investment:

Principal P.

Interest 13% = 0.13.

One year, so t = 1.

So

E_{1} = P*0.13*1

E_{1} = 0.13P

Second investment:

Principal 29000 - P.

Interest 4% = 0.04.

One year, so t = 1.

So

E_{2} = (29000-P)*0.04

The total interest earned for both loans was $2,195.00.

This means that E_{1} + E_{2} = 2195

So

E_{2} = 2195 - E_{1}

So we solve the following system:

E_{1} = 0.13P

E_{2} = (29000-P)*0.04

2195 - E_{1} = (29000-P)*0.04

2195 - 0.13P = 1160 - 0.04P

0.09P = 2195 - 1160

P = \frac{2195 - 1160}{0.09}

P = 11500

$11,500 was invested at 13%.

29000 - 11500 = 17500

$17,500 was invested at 4%

Is it one of this <br> 60<br> 50<br> 45<br> 35
dangina [55]
Non of the above. The answer is 40 and I’m sticking to my guns !

Similar meaning you can assume they are proportionate and if every side is doubled then you should double the last. Another way is to use Pythagorean’s theorem and disregard the little triangle completely.


Both ways have me 40 !

What is represented by a pair of lowercase letters in a punnett square?
Viefleur [7K]
A pair of lowercase letters represents a recessive gene.

For further clarification, if needed... If the punnett square was for dark hair being dominant over blonde hair, the offspring that was represented by two lowercase letters in a punnett square would have a phenotype of blonde hair.

A store is having a sale on trail mix and jelly beans. For 2 pounds of trail mix and 3 pounds of jelly beans, the total cost is
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

  • trail mix: $1.25
  • jelly beans: $3.50 per pound

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference between double the first purchase and the second purchase is $7 and 2 pounds of jelly beans. Hence a pound of jelly beans is $3.50.

  (4t +8j) -2(2t +3j) = (33) -2(13) . . . . . let t and j represent pounds of trail mix and jelly beans, respectively

  2j = 7 . . . . . . . . . . simplify

  j = 7/2 = 3.50

Using that value in the first purchase, we get ...

  2t +3(3.50) = 13

  2t = 13 -10.50

  t = 2.50/2 = 1.25

A pound of trail mix is $1.25.
