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.

A circle is centered at the point (5, -4) and passes through the point (-3, 2).
zepelin [54]

Answer:

(x-5)^2+(y+4)^2=100

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know the given points

Center = (5, -4)

and

Point on circle = (-3,2)

The distance between point on circle and center will give us the radius of circle

So,

The formula for distance is:

\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1} )^{2}+(y_{2}-y_{1})^{2}}\\Taking\ center\ as\ point\ 1\ and\ the\ other\ point\ as\ point\ 2\\d=\sqrt{(-3-5)^{2}+(2-(-4))^{2}}\\d=\sqrt{(-8)^{2}+(2+4)^{2}}\\d=\sqrt{(-8)^{2}+(6)^{2}}\\\\d=\sqrt{64+36}\\d=\sqrt{100} \\ d=10\\So\ the\ radius\ is\ 10

The standard form of equation of circle is:

(x-h)^{2}+(y-k)^{2}=r^{2}

where h and k are the coordinates of the center. So putting in the value:

(x-5)^{2}+(y-(-4))^{2}=(10)^{2}\\(x-5)^{2}+(y+4)^{2}=100
