Suppose that 15% of the fields in a given agricultural area are infested with the sweet potato whitefly. One hundred fields in t
hram777 [196]

Answer:

a.\mu=15

b.\mu=7.8586 \ and  \ \mu=22.1414

c. Choice A- Based on limits above, it is unlikely that we would see x = 45, so it might be possible that the trials are not independent.

Step-by-step explanation:

a.Binomial distribution is defined by the expression

P(X=k)=C_k^n.p^k.(1-p)^{n-k}

Let n be the number of trials,n=100

and p be the probability of success,p=15\%

The mean of a binomial distribution is the probability x sample size.

\mu=np=100\times0.15=15

b.Limits within which p is approximately 95%

sd of a binomial distribution is given as:\sigma=\sqrt npq\\q=1-p

Therefore, \sigma=\sqrt(100\times0.015\times0.85)=3.5707

Use the empirical rule to find the limits. From the rule, approximately 95% of the observations are within to standard deviations from mean.

sd_1=>\mu-2\sigma=15-2\times3.3507=7.8586\\sd_2=>\mu-2\sigma=15+2\times3.3507=22.1414

Hence, approximately 95% of the observations are within 7.8586 and 22.1414 (areas of infestation).

c.  x=45 is not within the limits in b above (7.8586,22.1414). X=45 appears to be a large area of infestation. A.Based on limits above, it is unlikely that we would see x = 45, so it might be possible that the trials are not independent.

Why is the answer A? Plzzz explain.
Contact [7]

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = x^2 + 4x + 4

f(x + a) = (x + a)^2 + 4(x + a) + 4

f(x + a) = x^2 + 2ax + a^2 + 4x + 4a + 4   Now combine like terms and use the distributive property.

f(x + a) = x^2 + (2a + 4)x + a^2 + 4a + 4

We are told that f(x + a) = x^2 - 6x + 9

So that means that

2a + 4 = - 6      Subtract 4 from both sides.

2a = - 6 - 4

2a = - 10          Divide by 2

a = - 10/2

a = - 5.            

But you are not finished. You have to check the last part.

a^2 + 4x + 4 = 9

(a + 2)^2 = 9

Take the square root of both sides

sqrt(a+ 2)^2 = +/- 3

a+2 = 3

a = 1.

Does this work or is it extraneous? It is extraneous because it will not work for  2(a) + 4 = - 6  

You get 6 = - 6 which is not correct. But you did give the second best answer.

a + 2 = - 3

a = - 3 - 2

a = - 5 which agrees with your previous answer.

===========

This is an extremely hard or tricky or sneaky problem. It takes a lot of conniving to get the right answer and 1 is not a left field answer. It just does not happen to be correct.

Expand and simplify (2x−12)^2. Is this a special product?
Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(2x−12)^2 can be factored into 2^2*(x - 6)^2, which in turn becomes

4(x^2 - 12x + 36).  Yes, this is a special product of the form

(a - b)^2 = a^2 - 2ab + b^2.
