A biologist was interested in determining whether sunflower seedlings treated with and an extract from Vinca minor roots resulte

d in a lower average height of sunflower seedlings that the standard height of 15.7 cm. The biologist treated a random sample of 33 seedlings with the extract and subsequently measured the height of those seedlings. At the 0.01 significance level, is there evidence that the true average height of the seedlings treated with an extract from Vinca minor roots is less than 15.7 cm?

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

H0 : μ = 15.7

H1 : μ < 15.7

This is a one sample t test :

Test statistic = (xbar - μ) ÷ (s/√(n))

n = sample size = 33

Using calculator :

The sample mean, xbar = 15.41

The sample standard deviation, s = 0.419

Test statistic = (15.41 - 15.70) ÷ (0.419/√(33))

Test statistic = - 3.976

Using the Pvalue calculator :

Degree of freedom, df = n - 1 ; 33 - 1 = 32

Pvalue(-3.976, 32) = 0.000187

Decison region :

Reject H0 if Pvalue < α

Since Pvalue < α ; we reject H0

There is significant evidence to conclude that the true average height of the seedlings treated with an extract from Vinca minor roots is less than 15.7 cm.

Which is greater or equal 7/10 or 9/100
Pavlova-9 [17]

9/100 is less because if we multiply 7/10 by 10 (to get an equivalent fraction with a denominator the same as the other fraction [100]) we get 70/100, which is way more than 9/100.

So, 7/10 is greater than 9/100

Hope this helps!

In which of the following cases is productive efficiency not satisfied? Assume we start at a point on the PPF between two produc
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

A. The economy switches to producing less of one product without increasing the production of the other product

Step-by-step explanation:

PPC is the graphical representation of product combinations that an economy can produce, given resources & technology. It is downward sloping because given resources & technology, production of a good can be increased  by decreasing production of other good.

It is based on assumption that resources are efficiently utilised. Points on PPC show resources efficient utilisation, Points under PPC show under utilisation, Points outside PPC are beyond country's productive capacity.

If country produces less of a good without increasing production of other goods, implying wasted resources & production below PPC. This case doesn't satisfy productive efficiency

Other cases : Producing more of a good & less of other is just re allocative movement on the PPC itself. Production point at PPF intersection with either axis implies economy is producing only the good on that axis.

In all the cases except A. satisfy the 'productive efficiency'
