Answer:

50 percent

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that one of the parent with a dominant trait have brown eyes and the other parent with a recessive trait has blue eyes. They produce a twin boy with eyes that is blue in color. So the probability of the fraternal twin to transmit his allele of blue eye to his or her offspring is 50 percent.

And also the probability of the offspring to pass the allele on to his or her offspring is 50 %.

The product rule is used : 0.5 x 0.5 = 0.25 or 25%.

A different species of cockroach has weights that are approximately Normally distributed with a mean of 50 grams. After measurin
Ratling [72]

Answer:

The standard deviation of weight for this species of cockroaches is 4.62.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A different species of cockroach has weights that are approximately Normally distributed with a mean of 50 grams. After measuring the weights of many of these cockroaches, a lab assistant reports that 14% of the cockroaches weigh more than 55 grams.

To find : What is the approximate standard deviation of weight for this species of cockroaches?

Solution :

We have given,

Mean \mu=50

The sample mean x=55

A lab assistant reports that 14% of the cockroaches weigh more than 55 grams.

i.e. P(X>55)=14%=0.14

The total probability needs to sum up to 1,

P(X\leq 55)=1-P(X>55)

P(X\leq 55)=1-0.14

P(X\leq 55)=0.86

The z-score value of 0.86 using z-score table is z=1.08.

Applying z-score formula,

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

Where, \sigma is standard deviation

Substitute the values,

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

1.08=\frac{55-50}{\sigma}

1.08=\frac{5}{\sigma}

\sigma=\frac{5}{1.08}

\sigma=4.62

The standard deviation of weight for this species of cockroaches is 4.62.

Which graph represents f(x)=log3x 1?
exis [7]

The correct option A: graph A, shows the logarithmic function;

f(x) = log₃x + 1

<h3>Explain the term logarithmic function?</h3>
  • The opposite of such an exponential function is a logarithmic function.
  • A log function and then an exponential function both use the same base.
  • An exponent is a logarithm. f(x) = bx is how the exponential function be expressed.
  • The formula again for logarithmic function is f(x) = log base b of x.

f(x) = log₃x + 1

  • When x = 1

f(1) = log₃1 + 1

f(1) = 0 + 1

f(1) = 1

(1, 1)

  • When x = 3

f(3) = log₃3 + 1

f(3) = 1 + 1

f(3) = 2

(3, 2)

Thus, the graph must contain the points   (1, 1), (3, 2).

Therefore, graph A define the given logarithmic function;

f(x) = log₃x + 1.
