Answer:

5' 6" = 66 inches

6 feet = 72 inches

shadow to actual height ratio = 72 / 66 = 1.0909...

If the tree casts a 20 foot shadow then its height equals

20 / 1.09090909 = 18.33 feet = 18 feet 4 inches

Please help me I have no clue what to do
Effectus [21]

Answer: A circle is 360° all the way around; therefore, if you divide an arc's degree measure by 360°, you find the fraction of the circle's circumference that the arc makes up. Then, if you multiply the length all the way around the circle (the circle's circumference) by that fraction, you get the length along the arc.

4 (3x+9)-3(5y+7) =11

distribute

12x +36 -15y -21 =11

12x -15y +15 =11

subtract 15 from each side

12x -15y =-4

subtract 12x from each side

-15y= - 12x-4

divide by -15

y = -12/-15 x -4/-15

y = 4/5 x  + 4/15

slope = 4/5

y intercept = 4/15

An evolutionary biologist examined the relative fitness of Escherichia coli bacteria grown for 2000 generations, about 300 days,
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

The variable of interest is:

X: fitness of a line of E. coli grown on an acidic environment.

n= 6 E. coli lines

Recorded fitness for each line: 1.24, 1.22, 1.23, 1.24, 1.18, 1.09

The relative fitness of 1 indicates that both bacteria types are equally fit.

A relative fitness larger than 1 indicates that the acid-evolved line is more fit than the parental line kept at neutral pH when both are grown in acidic conditions.

Meaning that if the average fitness of the E. coli lines grown on an acidic environment is greater than 1 then they are better adjusted to live in acidic conditions, symbolically: μ > 1

The statistic hypotheses are:

H₀: μ ≤ 1

H₁: μ > 1

α: 0.05

Assuming that the variable has a normal distribution you have to apply a one-sample t-test:

t= \frac{X[bar]-Mu}{\frac{S}{\sqrt{n} } } ~~t_{n-1}

X[bar]= 1.20

S= 0.06

t_{H_0}= \frac{1.20-1}{\frac{0.06}{\sqrt{6} } } = 8.40

The p-value for this test is 0.0002

Since the p-value= 0.0002 is less than α:0.05 the decision is to reject the null hypothesis.

Then at a 5% significance level, there is significant evidence to conclude that the bacteria evolved in acidic pH are better adapted to acidic conditions.

I hope you have a SUPER day!
