Seeds are often treated with fungicides to protect them in poor-draining, wet environments. A small-scale trial, involving six t

reated and six untreated seeds, was conducted prior to a large-scale experiment to explore how much fungicide to apply. The seeds were planted in wet soil, and the number of emerging plants were counted. If the solution was not effective and five plants actually sprouted.
Required:
What is the probability that all five plants emerged from treated seeds?

Answer:

0.0076 = 0.76% probability that all five plants emerged from treated seeds

Step-by-step explanation:

The plants were chosen without replacement, which means that the hypergeometric distribution is used to solve this question.

Hypergeometric distribution:

The probability of x successes is given by the following formula:

P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}*C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}

In which:

x is the number of successes.

N is the size of the population.

n is the size of the sample.

k is the total number of desired outcomes.

Combinations formula:

C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

In this question:

6 + 6 = 12 seeds, which means that N = 12

6 treated, which means that k = 6

Five sprouted, which means that n = 5

What is the probability that all five plants emerged from treated seeds?

This is P(X = 5). So

P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}*C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}

P(X = 5) = h(5,12,5,6) = \frac{C_{6,5}*C_{6,0}}{C_{12,5}} = 0.0076

0.0076 = 0.76% probability that all five plants emerged from treated seeds

Answer:

C.

Step-by-step explanation:

When two lines are parallel, their slopes are the same.

Since the slope of line <em>l </em>is 2/7, the slope of its parallel line <em>m</em> must also be 2/7.

The answer is C.

In a clinical test with 2161 subjects, 1214 showed improvement from the treatment. Find the margin of error for the 95% confiden
Vlad [161]

Answer:

The margin of error for the 95% confidence interval used to estimate the population proportion is of 0.0209.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of \pi, and a confidence level of 1-\alpha, we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

In which

z is the z-score that has a p-value of 1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}.

The margin of error is of:

M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

In a clinical test with 2161 subjects, 1214 showed improvement from the treatment.

This means that n = 2161, \pi = \frac{1214}{2161} = 0.5618

95% confidence level

So \alpha = 0.05, z is the value of Z that has a p-value of 1 - \frac{0.05}{2} = 0.975, so Z = 1.96.

Margin of error:

M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

M = 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.5618*0.4382}{2161}}

M = 0.0209

The margin of error for the 95% confidence interval used to estimate the population proportion is of 0.0209.

select the correct answer. Consider the function f. Which statement is true about function f? NO LINKS!! ​
andre [41]

Answer:

C) As x approaches positive infinity, f(x) approaches positive infinity

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The domain is NOT all real numbers as x is either smaller than or bigger than 0, and smaller than or bigger than 2.  So x ≠ 0 and x ≠ 2.
  • This implies that there are asymptotes at x=0 and x=2.
    Therefore, the function is NOT continuous.
  • The function is NOT increasing over its entire domain as
    f(x) = -x² -4x + 1 is decreasing for its given domain of 0<x<2
