Amphibian populations are in decline worldwide due to the increasing prevalence of ranavirus infections. Herpetologists (those that study amphibians and reptiles) are especially concerned with how ranavirus infections may be affecting Ozark and eastern hellbender populations.

Suppose both populations of hellbenders are known to have ranavirus infections at a rate of 25%. Suppose a random sample of size 118 is taken of the eastern hellbender population and a random sample of size 177 is taken of the Ozark hellbender population. Every hellbender in each sample is tested for ranavirus, and the sample proportions for each of the two samples are calculated.

Required:
Which of the two sample proportions is more likely to exceed 22% ?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The sample proportion of size 177 is more likely to exceed 22%.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the zscore of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

For a proportion p in a sample of size n, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion will be approximately normal with mean [tex]\mu = p[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}[/tex]

Suppose both populations of hellbenders are known to have ranavirus infections at a rate of 25%.

This means that [tex]\mu = p = 0.25[/tex]

Sample of size 118:

[tex]n = 118, so [tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{0.25*0.75}{118}} = 0.0399[/tex]

Probability of sample proportion above 22%.

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 0.22. So

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

By the Central Limit Theorem

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{0.22 - 0.25}{0.0399}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -0.75[/tex]

[tex]Z = -0.75[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.2266

1 - 0.2266 = 0.7734

0.7734% probability that a random sample of size 118 exceeds 22%.

Sample of size 177:

[tex]n = 177, so [tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{0.25*0.75}{118}} = 0.0325[/tex]

Probability of sample proportion above 22%.

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 0.22. So

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{0.22 - 0.25}{0.0325}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -0.92[/tex]

[tex]Z = -0.92[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.1788

1 - 0.1788 = 0.8212

0.8212 = 82.12% probability that a random sample of size 177 exceeds 22%.

82.12% > 77.34%, so the sample proportion of size 177 is more likely to exceed 22%.

Answer 2

The sample proportion that is more likely to exceed 22% is; the sample proportion with a sample size of 177

Central Limit Theorem

We are given;

Population proportion; p = 25% = 0.25

Now, in central limit theorem, the formula for standard deviation is;

σ = √(p(1 - p)/n)

For a sample size of 118, we have;

σ = √(0.25(1 - 0.25)/118)

σ = √0.001588983

σ = 0.03986

Similarly, for a sample size of 177, we have;

σ = √(0.25(1 - 0.25)/177)

σ = √0.001059322

σ = 0.032547

Since we want to find which of the two sample proportions will likely exceed 22% which is p₀ = 0.2, we will use the formula;

z = (p₀ - p)/σ

For sample size of 118, we have;

z = (0.22 - 0.25)/0.03986

z = -0.75

From online p-value from z-score calculator, we have;

p-value = 0.7734 or 77.34%

For sample size of 177, we have;

z = (0.22 - 0.25)/0.032547

z = -0.92

From online p-value from z-score calculator, we have;

p-value = 0.8212 or 82.12%

The p-value of the sample of 177 is higher than the p-value for the sample of 118 and so we can say that the sample proportion with a sample size of 177 is more likely to exceed 22%

390s = 65


390(65) = s


s/390 = 65


390 = 65s

Answers

Answer:

6 shelves

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of shelves needed be s

If the total number of books to be displayed is 390books

If Each shelf can hold 65 books, then;

1 shelf = 65books

To know the  total shelf needed;

s = 390 books

Divide both expressions

1/s = 65/390

65s = 390

Divide through by 65

65s/65 = 390/65

s = 390/65

s = 6

Hence 6 shelves will be needed

What are ratio and proportion?

A ratio is a group of sequentially ordered numbers a and b expressed as a/b, where b is never equal to zero. When two objects are equal, a statement is said to be proportional.

The time span, in hours, it takes a train to go to city B fluctuates contrarily with the train's speed.

V x T = Constant

The train Carole is going on is moving at a speed of 70 miles each hour, and it requires her 4 hours to show up. In the event that the train, Steve is going on, is moving at a speed of 50 mph.

Let 't' be the time. Then the equation is given as,

t x 50 = 4 x 70

50t = 280

t = 280 / 50

t = 28 / 5

t = 5.6 hours

The time taken by him to arrive at City B will be 5.6 hours.

The required number is 400 for which 44 is 11%.

The percentage is a way to express a proportion or a fraction as a fraction of 100. It is commonly used to compare values or quantities relative to a whole or a total.

To calculate a percentage, you typically divide a part or a quantity by the whole or the total and then multiply the result by 100. The resulting value represents the percentage equivalent of the part or quantity.

It implies that a percentage value represents a certain number out of 100 parts.

Given that 44 is 11% of the number. The unknown number is calculated as,

x (11%) = 44

[tex]x \times \dfrac{11}{100} = 44\\x = \dfrac{44\times100}{11}\\x=400[/tex]

Yes, by the angle angle rule.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the first triangle,

m<C=60 degrees, and m< D=53 degrees. You know that the sum of angles in a triangle add up to 180 degrees, so solve for E. m<E= 67 degrees.

In the second triangle,

m<F=60 degrees and m<H=67 degrees.

Since both triangle have two congruent angles, you can say that the two triangles are similiar by the AA rule.

Both triangle CDE and triangle FGH are similar to each other.

Similar figures

Two figures are said to be similar if they have the same shape and the ratio of their corresponding sides are in the same proportion. All the corresponding angles of similar figures are congruent.

∠C + ∠D + ∠E = 180° (angles in a triangle)

60 + 53 + ∠E = 180

∠E = 67°

∠C = ∠F, ∠D = ∠G, ∠E = ∠H, hence both triangles are similar.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the measures of the angles of a triangle is 180. The sum of the measures of the second and third angles is five times the measure of the first angle. The third angle is 22 more than the second. Let x, y, and z represent the measures of the first second, and third angles, respectively. Find the measures of the three angles.

Answers

Answer:

x=30°, y=64°, z=86°

Step-by-step explanation:

Make a system of equations using the information given.

x + y + z = 180    <-- from "the sum of interior angles equals 180 degrees"

y + z = 5x           <-- from "sum second angle and third angles is five times the first angle"

z = y + 22           <-- from "the third angle is 22 more than the second"

Eliminating the x variable to makes the equations easier to solve.

5x + 5y + 5z = 900

-(5x                = z + y)

=       5y + 5z = 900 - z - y

= 6y + 6z = 900

= y + z = 150

Now substitute z for (y+22)

y + (y + 22) = 150

2y + 22 = 150

2y = 128

y = 64

Now find z when y=64

z = (64) + 22

z = 86

Finally, plug in z and y into one of the equations with x and evaluate for x.

x + 64 + 86 = 180

x + 150 = 180

x = 30

An even function g has the point (-9,-2) on its graph.
What are the coordinates of another point on the graph of g?

Answers

Answer: (9, -2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start with what makes a function even. A function is even if the graph of it is symmetric about the y-axis. What is really means is that if you were to fold your graph paper where the crease is on the y-axis, the graph should be the same on each side.

Now since g is an even function, it's correct for us to assume that it is symmetric about the y-axis. What this means is that we expect to find a value at the same point, except on the right side (because our coordinate is negative).

Our coordinate is (-9, -2). If we were to plot it, we'd see it would be in the 3rd quadrant, or the bottom left one. To be symmetrical on the right side, we know there is a point with the same coords in the 4th quadrant. To be on the right, our x coordinate would be positive, and our y coordinate will stay the same.
