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.

How do i solve for x with an equation that says 19 = x - 3
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer: x = 22

Step-by-step explanation: Since x is unknown, we want to isolate it and determine what it equals. We know that x - 3 gives us 19, but we don't want to know what x - 3 is, just x. So we can add three to both sides of the equation, to get our answer and keep it balanced. As a result, we get x = 22

One company wants $10 per 3.5 hours, so they want 10 / 3.5 ≈ 2,86 dollars per hour (after rounding to the closest hundreths).

Second company wants $1.25 per half an hour, so they want 2 * 1,25 = 2,50 dollars per hour.

The unit rate is 2,86:2,50
