When dragons on planet Pern lay eggs, the eggs are either green or yellow. The biologists have observed over the years that 26%

of the eggs are yellow, and the rest green. Next spring the lead scientist has permission to randomly select 67 of the dragon eggs to incubate. Consider all the possible samples of 67 dragon eggs.
1. What is the mean number of yellow eggs in samples of 67 eggs? (that is the same as asking for the expected value of the number of yellow eggs)
(Give answer correct to at least one decimal place.)
mean =
2. What is the standard deviation in the number of yellow eggs in samples of size 67?
(Give answer correct to at least one decimal place.)
standard deviation =
3. What is the variance in the number of yellow eggs in samples of size 67?
(Remember to calculate the answer using at least 5 decimal places, then give answer correct to at least one decimal place.)

Answer:

μ=  17.42

var=  12.891= 12.9

σ = 3.59

Explanation:

As the number of trials are fixed  i.e 67 and the success is also fixed i.e 26% or 0.26 this is treated as a binomial experiment.

The mean of the binomial experiment is calculated as

μ= np = 67*0.26= 17.42

This is the same as the expected value of number of yellow eggs.

E(y)= np=μ=  67*0.26= 17.42

The variance  of the binomial experiment is calculated as

var= npq  = 67*0.26(1-0.26)= 67*0.26(0.74)= 12.8908= 12.891

The standard deviation  of the binomial experiment is calculated as

σ =√npq= √12.8908= 3.590376  = 3.59038= 3.5904 = 3.590= 3.59

"what is the difference between a credit card and a debit card? why are credit cards considerably more popular with u.s. consume
Y_Kistochka [10]
The difference between credit card and a debit card is that:
Debit cards are linked to your bank account, and money is withdrawn from the account as soon as the transaction occurs. While credit cards are not linked to your bank account, they are linked to the bank or institution that issued the card. Credit card are billed monthly.
Credit cards are considerably more popular with U.S. consumers because debit cards are linked to your bank account and if someone stole the card, all the money in your bank account will vanish. where credit cards are not linked to your bank account, it is charged monthly as much money as you want.

Lola owns a one-half interest in the Lenax LLC. Her basis in this ownership interest is $22,000 at the end of the year, after ac
Natali [406]

Answer: $3,000

Explanation:

With a basis of $22,000, Lola received a cash distribution of $25,000.

She would therefore get a gain (loss) of,

= $25,000 - $22,000

= $3,000

Lola received a gain of $3,000.

It is worthy of note that her basis after this distribution is now zero.

The real risk-free rate is 3%, and inflation is expected to be 3% for the next 2 years. A 2-year Treasury security yields 6.2%.
den301095 [7]

Answer:

0.2%

Explanation:

The real risk-free rate is 3%, and inflation is expected to be 3% for the next 2 years; so the risk-free rate is 6%.

The maturity risk premium is the different between return on investment and same tenor investment

= Treasury security yields 6.2% - risk free rate 6%

= 6.2% - 6% = 0.2%

All analysis of variance procedures require that the compared populations have equal variances.
nikdorinn [45]

Answer: b. False

All analysis of variance procedures <em><u>assume</u></em> that the compared populations have equal variances.

In all analysis of variance procedures, tests like F-test, Bartlett’s test, Levene’s test and Brown-Forsythe test are used to verify or test the assumption if k samples are from populations with equal variances.

When two or more populations have equal variances, we say that homoscedasticity or homogeneity of variances exist.

The F-test and Bartlett’s test yield best results only if the population is normally distributed. However, Levene’s test and Brown-Forsythe are known to yield good results for data that is not normally distributed.
