The level of dissolved oxygen (DO) in a stream or river is an important indicator of the water's ability to support aquatic life

. A researcher measures the DO level at 15 randomly chosen locations along a stream. Here are the results in milligrams per liter (mg/l): 4.53, 5.04, 3.29,5.23,4.13,5.50, 4.83, 4.40,5.42,6.38,4.01,4.66, 2.87,5.73,5.55 A dissolved oxygen level below 5 mg/1 puts aquatic life at risk.
(a) A frequency histogram of the data is given below. Explain why it is most appropriate to apply t procedures with this sample

(b) Do we have convincing evidence at the 0.05 significance level that aquatic life in this stream is at risk?

c) Given your conclusions of part (b), which kind of error - Type 1 vs Type II - could you have made? Explain what this mistake would mean in context?

Answer:

a) It is most appropiate to apply t procedures with this sample because the population standard deviation is unknown. We have to estimate it from the sample standard deviation.

b) There is no enough evidence to claim that disolved oxygen level is below 5 mg/l.

c) As the null hypothesis was not rejected, the only error we could have made is a Type II error.

This Type II error is made when fail to reject the null hypotesis even when the alternative hypothesis is true.

In this context, it would mean that the aquatic life is really at risk (dissolved oxygen levels below 5 mg/l), but because the sample results combined with its size were not giving enough evidence to prove the claim.

Step-by-step explanation:

b) We have to perform a hypothesis test on the mean, at a significance level of 0.05.

The null and alternative hypothesis are:

H_0:\mu\geq 5\\\\H_a: \mu

The sample mean is 4.77 and the sample standard deviation is 0.94.

The sample size is 15, so the degrees of freedom are:

df=n-1=15-1=14

The t-statistic is:

t=\frac{\bar x-\mu}{s/\sqrt{n}} =\frac{4.77-5}{0.94/\sqrt{15}}= \frac{-0.23}{0.242}=-0.95

For a t=0.95 and df=14, the P-value is P=0.18.

This P-value is bigger than the significance level, so the null hypothesis is failed to be rejected.

There is no enough evidence to claim that disolved oxygen level is below 5 mg/l.

To factor the quadratic expression x^2−8x−10 by completing the square, what value would be added? A. 64 B. 8 C. 16 D.-16
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

When completing the square, we essentially want to create a perfect square trinomial by adding a constant.

If we have the following expression:

x^2+bx

And we want to complete the square, we will need to divide the b-coefficient by half and then square it.

Thus, the added term should be:

(b/2)^2

In the given equation, we have:

(x^2-8x)-10

The b term here is 8. Therefore:

(8/2)^2\\=(4)^2\\=16

The value we would add would be 16.

The answer is C.

Further notes:

To complete the square, add 16 like mentioned earlier. However, we also need to subtract 16 to balance things out:

(x^2-8x)-10\\=(x^2-8x+16)-10-16\\

The expression inside the parentheses is now a perfect square trinomial. Factor it:

=((x)^2-2(4)(x)+(4)^2)-26\\=(x-4)^2-26

And we are done!

A scientist has two solutions, which she has labeled Solution A and Solution B. Each contains salt. She knows that Solution A is
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

  • 26 ounces of 55% solution
  • 104 ounces of 80% solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the quantity of 80% solution. Then 130-x is the amount of 55% solution. The total amount of salt in the mix is ...

  0.80x +0.55(130 -x) = 0.75·130

  0.25x = 0.20·130 . . . . . . . subtract 0.55(130)

  x = 0.20/0.25(130) = 104

  130-x = 26

She should use 26 ounces of 55% solution and 104 ounces of 80% solution.
