Answer: the mistake was not putting the 5 in the perthesis

Step-by-step explanation:

Because 5(x-1 how yu gon make that equal 5x-1 it has to be in the correct way to equal the same thing

A town has a population of 8000 and grows at 3% every year. To the nearest tenth of a year, how long will it be until the popula
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

It will take approximately 34 years

Step-by-step explanation:

If a town population is 8000 and grows 3% annually.

How long will it take to reach 16300

growth is 16300 - 8000 = 8300

using simple interest formula

SI = (P × r × t)/100

8300 = (8000 × 3 × t)100

8300= (80 × 3)t

8300 = 240t

t = 8300/240

t ≈ 34 years to the nearest tenth

Wild fruit flies have red eyes. A recessive mutation produces white-eyed individuals. A researcher wants to assess the proportio
svlad2 [7]

Answer:

a. The conditions are met to use a large-sample confidence interval.

b. [0.048; 0.171]

c. Decision: Not reject the null hypothesis.

d. Check explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

You have the following study variable:

X: red-eyed fruit fly that shows to be heterozygous due to producing mixed progeny after being crossed with s white-eyed fruit fly.

n= 100

x= 11

sample proportion 'p= 0.11

a)

Binomial criteria:

1. The number of observation of the trial is fixed (In this case n = 100)

2. Each observation in the trial is independent, this means that none of the trials will affect the probability of the next trial

3. The probability of success in the same from one trial to another (In this case our "success" is that the fruit fly show heterozygous trough its progeny)

So X≈ Bi (n;ρ)

Considering that the sample is big enough (n≥30), you can apply the Central Limit Theorem and approximate the distribution of the sample proportion to normal. So you can use the large-sample confidence interval.

b. The formula for the confidence interval is:

'p ± Z_{1-\alpha /2}*\sqrt{\frac{'p(1-'p)}{n} }

Z_{1-\alpha /2} = Z_{0.975} = 1.96

0.11 ± 1.96*\sqrt{\frac{0.11*0.89}{100} }

[0.048; 0.171]

At a confidence level of 95%, you'd expect that the interval [0.048; 0.171] will contain the value of the population proportion of heterozygous red-eyed flies.

c.

H₀: ρ = 0.10

H₁: ρ ≠ 0.10

α: 0.05

Z= \frac{'p - p}{\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n} } }

Z= \frac{0.11 - 0.10}{\sqrt{\frac{0.10*0.90}{100} } }

Z= 0.33

The two tailed p-value for this test is 0.7414. The p-value is greater than the level of significance so the decision is to not reject the null hypothesis.

d.

To be able to compare a Confidence Interval several conditions shoud be met.

1) The interval and the hypothesis test should be made for the sale population parameter.

2) The hypothesis has to be two-tailed

3) Both levels (confidence and significance) should be complementary.

4) Both have to be made with the information of the same sample. (Remember that the variable is random and the values will change from sample to sample therefore it makes no sense to compare an interval and hypothesis of different samples. You could reach a wrong conclusion)

If the conditions are met, you check the calculated interval to see if it contains the value of the parameter under the null hypothesis. If the interval contains the value (In this case 0.10) then the hypothesis is to be supported. If the interval doesn't include the value, then the hypothesis is to be rejected.

I hope this helps!

Use the distance formula to find the distance, to the nearest tenth, from S(5,-4) to W(-3,7)
natali 33 [55]

Answer:

Distance (d) =13.6

Step-by-step explanation:

d=\sqrt{\left(x_2-x_1\right)^2+\left(y_2-y_1\right)^2}\\\\(5,-4)=(x_1,y_1)\\(-3,7)=(x_2,y_2)\\\\d=\sqrt{\left(-3-5\right)^2+\left(7-\left(-4\right)\right)^2}\\\\d=\sqrt{(-3-5)^2+(7+4)^2}\\\\d=\sqrt{(-8)^2+(11)^2}\\\\d=\sqrt{64+121}\\\\d=\sqrt{185}    \\\\d = 13.60147\dots \\\\\\d =13.6

10.045+2.673+105.95 to the nearest whole number and then estimate the sum
horsena [70]

Answer:

119

Step-by-step explanation:

The nearest whole numbers from those listed are

10

3

106

The estimated sum = 119

The actual sum is 118.668

When you are doing a test, being able to estimate is a very powerful skill. 119 is close enough to the actual answer that you know your actual answer is likely correct.
