The USDA conducted tests for salmonella in produce grown in California. In an independent sample of 252 cultures obtained from w

ater used to irrigate the region, 18 tested positive for salmonella. In an independent sample of 476 cultures obtained from the region’s wildlife (e.g., birds), 20 tested positive for salmonella. Is this sufficient evidence for the USDA to conclude that the proportion of salmonella in the region’s water differs from the proportion of salmonella in the region’s wildlife? Assume the significance level of 0.01.

Answer:

 The decision rule is  

Fail to reject the null hypothesis

  The conclusion is  

There no sufficient evidence to show that the proportion of salmonella in the region’s water differs from the proportion of salmonella in the region’s wildlife

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The first  sample size is n_1   =  252

    The number that tested positive is  k_1  =  18

     The second sample size is  n_2   =  476

     The number that  tested positive is  k_2 =  20

     The level of significance is  \alpha  = 0.01

Generally the first sample proportion is mathematically represented as

      \^ p _1 =  \frac{k_1 }{ n_1 }

=>    \^ p _1 =  \frac{18 }{ 252 }

=>    \^ p _1 = 0.071

Generally the second sample proportion is mathematically represented as

      \^ p _2 =  \frac{k_2 }{ n_2 }

=>    \^ p _2 =  \frac{20 }{ 476}

=>    \^ p _2 = 0.042

The  null hypothesis is            H_o  :  p_1 - p_2 = 0

The alternative hypothesis is  H_a :  p_1 - p_2 \ne 0

Generally the test statistics is mathematically represented

       z =  \frac{ \^ p_1 - \^ p_2  -  ( p_ 1 - p_2 )}{ \sqrt{\frac{\^ p_1 (1-\^ p_1)}{ n_1  } + \frac{\^ p_2 (1-\^ p_2)}{ n_2  }  } }

=>    z =  \frac{ 0.071 - 0.042  - 0 }{ \sqrt{\frac{0.071  (1-0.071)}{  252  } + \frac{0.042 (1-\^ 0.042)}{ 476  }  } }

=>    z =  1.56

From the z table  the area under the normal curve to the right corresponding to  1.56   is  

        P(Z >  1.56 ) =0.05938

Generally the p-value is mathematically represented as

         p-value =  2 * P(Z >  1.56 )

=>      p-value = 2 *  0.05938

=>      p-value = 0.1188

From the value obtained we see that   p-value  >  \alpha hence

  The decision rule is  

Fail to reject the null hypothesis

  The conclusion is  

There no sufficient evidence to show that the proportion of salmonella in the region’s water differs from the proportion of salmonella in the region’s wildlife

The white Christmas tree is 7.55m tall.the green Christmas tree is twice as tall as the white Christmas tree which is 0.454m tal
Alja [10]

The white Christmas tree is 7.55m

Green Christmas tree is twice as tall as white Christmas tree: 7.55 * 2 = 15.1m

High golden Christmas tree: 15.1m - 0.454m = 14.646m

The total height of 3 Christmas trees is: 7.55m + 15.1m + 14.646m = 37.296m

Choose: A 37.296m

Explain the role of the GCF in factoring a polynomial.
Ahat [919]
1. GCF is a factor that is shared by all terms within a polynomial for example, if we have a polynomial of the form A*B + A*C, the GCF is A since both terms have A as a factor 2. after we factor out the GCF, it is placed outside the parentheses, in front of the rest of the polynomial. using our previous example, A*B+A*C = A(B+C) 3. we can verify that our factoring is correct by distributing the GCF to the polynomial within the parentheses
