Step-by-step explanation:

The gender of a child which is either a boy or a girl is determined by the XX-chromosomes, or XY-chromosomes.

Since the couple plan to have 5 children, the chance of a child being a boy is equal to the chance of it being a girl - the chances are 50/50.

What we do to achieve our aim is to run a simulation that would add an X or Y to an X for all 5 children.

Doing this 125 times, we obtain the number of trials we desire.

For each trial, we get for each child, C:

C1: X + (X or Y)

C2: X + (X or Y)

C3: X + (X or Y)

C4: X + (X or Y)

C5: X + (X or Y)

Since the chance of having an X is equal to the chance of having a Y, they equal probability, which is 0.5 for each.

Value of the y-intercept of the graph of f(x) = e1–x – 1?
frozen [14]

Answer:

(0, e-1) or (0, 1.718) to the nearest thousandth.

Step-by-step explanation:

The y-intercept occurs when x = 0 so here we have:

y = e^(1 - 0) - 1

= e - 1

So the y-intercept is the point (0, e-1)

A container has peppermint gum and spearmint gum. There are 40 pieces of peppermint gum in the container and the ratio of pepper
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

16 pieces of spearmint gum

Step-by-step explanation:

For every five pieces of peppermint gum, there are 2 pieces of spearmint gum.

First, divide the total number of peppermint gum by 5:

40/5 = 8

Multiply this number by 2 (pieces of spearmint) to get the number of spearmint gum pieces:

8 x 2 = 16

Proof:

Ratio is 40 : 16, dividing this by 8 will reduce the ratio to 5:2

The chi-square test statistic is χ2 = 18.68 and the P-value is between 0.0025 and 0.005. What conclusion should the researcher m
diamong [38]

We don't know what the exact p-value is, but we are told that it's as large as 0.005 which is smaller than alpha = 0.05

Since the p-value is smaller than alpha, this means we <u>reject the null hypothesis</u>.

The way you can remember this is "if the p-value is low, then the null must go". By "low", I mean "smaller than alpha".

Recall that the p-value is the probability of observing that specific test statistic, or larger. So the chances of chi-squared being 18.68 or larger is a probability between 0.0025 and 0.005; there's a very small chance of this happening. The p-value is based entirely on the assumption that the null is correct. But if the null is correct, then the chances of landing on this are very small. We have a contradiction that basically leads to us concluding the null must not be the case. It's not 100% guaranteed of course, but it's fairly strong evidence.

In short, the p-value being smaller than alpha = 0.05 means we reject the null.

In order to accept the null, the p-value must be 0.05 or larger.
