Could -free, automatic faucets actually be housing more bacteris than the old fashioned, manual kind The concern is that decreased water flow may increase the chance that bacteria grows, because the automatic faucets are not being thoroughly flushed through. It is known that 15% of cultures from older faucets in hospital patient care areas test positive for Legionella bacteria. A recent study at Johns Hopkins Hospital found Legionella bacteria growing in 10 of cultured water samples from 20 electronic faucets aIf the probability of Legionella bacteria growing in a faucet is 0.15, what is the prob ability that in a sample of 20 faucets. 10 or more have the bacteria growing (the Johns Hopkins study provide sufficient evidence that the probability of Legionella bacteria growing in electronic faucets is greater than 15%? Explain.
Answer:
Not enough evidence to reject Null hypothesis
Step-by-step explanation:
Solution:-
- A comparative study for bacterial growth in manual and electronic faucets is made.
- It is observed that there is a higher growth in electronic faucets due to slower flow rates, i.e electronic faucets are not thoroughly flushed; hence, giving more resident time for the scaled bacteria to grow.
- It is known that 15% of cultures from older faucets were tested positive for the Legionella bacteria.
- A study at John Hopkins was conducted on a sample n = 20 electronic faucets with the probability of bacteria growing in a faucet is 0.15.
- We will conduct a hypothesis for at-least half proportion of electronic faucets have cultured bacteria.
- State the hypothesis for the proportion of electronic faucets culturing Legionella bacteria:
Null Hypothesis: P = 0.15
Alternate hypothesis: P > 0.15
- To determine the test statistics for the study conducted at John hopkins. We had a sample size of n = 20, and the probability for a bacteria to grow in a faucet is 0.15.
- Denote random variable, X: The number of electronic faucets culturing Legionella bacteria.
- Since, the probability for a bacteria to grow in a faucet is independent for each new faucet. We will assume the RV " X " to follow binomial distribution with probability of success 0.15:
X ~ Bin ( 20 , 0.15 )
- We are to determine that at-least half of the sample is subjected to the said bacteria. This is the probability of P ( X ≥ 10 ).
- The pmf for a binomially distributed random variable X is given below:
[tex]P ( X = r ) = n_C__r * ( p(success) )^r * ( p (fail) )^(^n^-^r^)[/tex]
Where,
p ( success ) = 0.15
p ( fail ) = 1 - p ( success ) = 1 - 0.15 = 0.85
- Use the pmf to determine the required test statistics:
[tex]P ( X \geq 10 ) = 1 - P ( X \leq 9 )\\\\P ( X \geq 10 ) = 1 - [ (0.85)^2^0 + 20*(0.15)*(0.85)^1^9 + 20_C_2 (0.15)^2*(0.85)^1^8 +\\\\ 20_C_3 (0.15)^3*(0.85)^1^7 + 20_C_4 (0.15)^4*(0.85)^1^6 + 20_C_5 (0.15)^5*(0.85)^1^5+\\\\ 20_C_6 (0.15)^6*(0.85)^1^4 + 20_C_7 (0.15)^7*(0.85)^1^3 + 20_C_8 (0.15)^8*(0.85)^1^2 + \\\\ 20_C_9 (0.15)^9*(0.85)^1^1\\\\\\P ( X \geq 10 ) = 1 - [ 0.03875 + 0.13679 + 0.22933 + 0.24282 + 0.18212 + 0.10284 + \\\\ 0.04537 + 0.01601 + 0.00459 + 0.00108 ]\\\\[/tex]
[tex]P ( X \geq 10 ) = 1 - [ 0.997 ] = 0.003[/tex]
- The probability that 10 or more electronic faucets is found to have Legionella bacteria growing is 0.003
- The test proportion of 10 and more electronic faucets have culturing bacteria is p = 0.003.
- Assuming normality of the population, the Z-statistics would be:
[tex]Z-test = \frac{ (p - P) \sqrt{n} }{\sqrt{P*(1 - P )} } \\\\Z-test = \frac{ (0.003 - 0.15) \sqrt{20} }{\sqrt{0.15*(0.85)} } \\\\Z-test = -1.84109[/tex]
- If we were to test the claim to 90% level of confidence:
significance level (α) = 1 - CI = 1 - 0.9 = 0.1
- The rejection region Z-critical is defined by a right-tail:
[tex]Z-critical \geq Z_\alpha \geq Z_0_._2\\\\Z-critical \geq 1.28[/tex]
- Compare the test statistics with the rejection criteria defined by the Z-critical:
Z-test < Z-critical
-1.84 < 1.28
Conclusion:
There is not enough evidence that the probability of Legionella bacteria growing in electronic faucets is greater than 15%.

Answer:
1650
Step-by-step explanation:
The shape is a pyramid on top of a prism.
Volume of a pyramid is V = ⅓ Ah, where A is the area of the base and h is the height of the pyramid.
Volume of a prism is V = Ah, where A is the area of the base and h is the height of the prism.
The base of both shapes is a right triangle. The area is:
A = ½ bh
A = ½ (22) (10)
A = 110
The height of the prism is 6. The height of the pyramid is 33 − 6 = 27. The total volume is:
V = (110) (6) + ⅓ (110) (27)
V = 1650

A couple plans to have no more than three children, and they will keep having children until they have a girl. So, if their first child is a girl, they will stop and have only one child. However, if their first child is a boy, they will try again and have a second child. As it turns out, the probability of having a boy is slightly greater than having a girl. Here is the probability distribution for the number of boys the couple could have. Boys 0 boys 1 boy 2 boys 3 boys Probability 0.490 0.250 0.127 0.133
What is the expected number of boys the couple will have? (Recall: the expected value is the mean). 0.903 1.5 0.228
Answer:
0.903.
Step-by-step explanation:
Okay, from the question we are given the following information or data or parameters:
''couple plans to have no more than three children, and they will keep having children until they have a girl. So, if their first child is a girl, they will stop and have only one child"
Additionally, from the question we are given that; ''However, if their first child is a boy, they will try again and have a second child".
Also, the probability distribution is given as Boys 0, boys 1 , boy 2, boys 3 boys with Probability 0.490, 0.250, 0.127, 0.133 respectively.
That is, we now have:
Number of boys × probability.
Boys 0 = 0 × 0.490 = 0.
Boys 1 = 1 × 0.250 = 0.250.
Boys 2 = 2 × 0.127 = 0.254.
Boys 3 = 3 × 0.133 = 0.399.
The addition of the products for each Number of boys × probability gives us the expected value. That is to say;
0 + 0.250 + 0.254 + 0.399 = 0.903 = mean.

Consider the parametric equations below.
x = t2 − 2, y = t + 1, −3 ≤ t ≤ 3
(a) Sketch the curve by using the parametric equations to plot points. Indicate with an arrow the direction in which the curve is traced as t increases.
(b) Eliminate the parameter to find a Cartesian equation of the curve. for −2 ≤ y ≤ 4
Answer:
(a) In attachment
(b) x = y² - 2y - 1, −2 ≤ y ≤ 4
Step-by-step explanation:
(a)
The graph of the given parametric equation is given in the attachment.
The direction in which the curve is traced as t increases, is indicated by black arrows.
(b)
To eleminate the parameter t, we simultaneously solve both the equations.
So, we have the equations:
x = t² - 2 ----- equation (1)
y = t + 1 ----- equation (2)
So, from equation (2), we have:
t = y - 1
Substituting this in equation (1), we get:
x = (y - 1)² - 2
x = y² - 2y + 1 - 2
x = y² - 2y - 1
Now, for limits of y, we use equation (2)
For initial limit, t = -3
y = - 3 + 1 = - 2
For final limit, t = 3
y = 3 + 1 = 4
Therefore, the final relation after eliminating t is:
x = y² - 2y - 1, −2 ≤ y ≤ 4
The Cartesian equation of the curve after eliminating the parameter t is expressed below.
[tex]x=y^2-2y-1[/tex]
For, the y values of, [tex]-2 \leq y \leq 4[/tex]
What is a parametric equation?The parametric equation is the type of equation in which the variable which is in depended on on is known as parameter. The dependent function in this equation is defined as the continuous function of that variable.
The first equation given in the problem is,
[tex]x = t^2 - 2 \\t^2=x+2[/tex]
The second equation given in the problem is,
[tex]y = t + 1\\t=y-1[/tex]
Put the values of t in the modified first equation as,
[tex](y-1)^2=x+2\\y^2+1-2y-2=x\\x=y^2-2y-1[/tex]
The values of t are between -3 to 3.
[tex]-3 \leq t \leq 3[/tex]
The value of t is -3 then the value of y will be -2 and when the value of t is 4 then the value of y will be 4 from equation 2.
Hence, the Cartesian equation of the curve after eliminating the parameter t is expressed below.
[tex]x=y^2-2y-1[/tex]
For, the y values of, [tex]-2 \leq y \leq 4[/tex]

x + y = 206
0.25x + 0.10y = 45.50
y = 206 - x
0.25x + 0.10(206 - x) = 45.50
0.25x + 20.6 - 0.10x = 45.50
0.15x = 45.50 - 20.6
0.15 x = 24.9
x = 24.9/ 0.15 = 166 quarters
y =206 - 166 = 40 dimes

Write the formula to calculate how much dough is prepared in x hours.
10 kilograms of prepared dough in 5 hours
Answer: D(x) = 2kg/h*x
where x is the number of hours.
Step-by-step explanation:
The information that we have is:
in 5 hours, we can prepare 10kg of dough.
With this, we can find the rate per hour, to do this we find the quotient:
R = 10kg/5h = 2kh/h
This meeans that in one hour, we can make 2kg of dough.
Then, in x hours, we can make x times 2kg of dough, then the equation will be:
D(x) = 2kg/h*x
where x is the number of hours.
The port of South Louisiana, located along miles of the Mississippi River between New Orleans and Baton Rouge, is the largest bulk cargo port in the world. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers reports that the port handles a mean of million tons of cargo per week (USA Today, September). Assume that the number of tons of cargo handled per week is normally distributed with a standard deviation of million tons.
A. What is the probability that the port handles less than 5 million tons of cargo per week?
B. What is the probability that the port handles 3 or more million tons of cargo per week?
C. What is the probability that the port handles between 3 million and 4 million tons of cargo per week?
D. Assume that 85% of the time the port can handle the weekly cargo volume without extending operating hours. What is the number of tons of cargo per week that will require the port to extend its operating hours?
Answer:
(A) Probability that the port handles less than 5 million tons of cargo per week is 0.7291.
(B) Probability that the port handles 3 or more million tons of cargo per week is 0.9664.
(C) Probability that the port handles between 3 million and 4 million tons of cargo per week is 0.2373.
(D) The number of tons of cargo per week that will require the port to extend its operating hours is 3.65 million tons.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that the port of South Louisiana, located along 54 miles of the Mississippi River between New Orleans and Baton Rouge.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers reports that the port handles a mean of 4.5 million tons of cargo per week with a standard deviation of 0.82 million tons.
Let X = Number of tons of cargo handled per week
SO, X ~ Normal([tex]\mu=4.5,\sigma^{2}=0.82^{2}[/tex])
The z score probability distribution for normal distribution is given by;
Z = [tex]\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex] ~ N(0,1)
where, [tex]\mu[/tex] = population mean = 4.5 million tons
[tex]\sigma[/tex] = standard deviation = 0.82 million tons
(A) Probability that the port handles less than 5 million tons of cargo per week is given by = P(X < 5 million tons)
P(X < 5) = P( [tex]\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex] < [tex]\frac{5-4.5}{0.82}[/tex] ) = P(Z < 0.61) = 0.7291
The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 0.61 in the z table which has an area of 0.7291.
(B) Probability that the port handles 3 or more million tons of cargo per week is given by = P(X [tex]\geq[/tex] 3 million tons)
P(X [tex]\geq[/tex] 3) = P( [tex]\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex] [tex]\geq[/tex] [tex]\frac{3-4.5}{0.82}[/tex] ) = P(Z [tex]\geq[/tex] -1.83) = P(Z [tex]\leq[/tex] 1.83)
= 0.9664
The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 1.83 in the z table which has an area of 0.9664.
(C) Probability that the port handles between 3 million and 4 million tons of cargo per week is given by = P(3 million tons < X < 4 million tons)
P(3 million tons < X < 4 million tons) = P(X < 4) - P(X [tex]\leq[/tex] 3)
P(X < 4) = P( [tex]\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex] < [tex]\frac{4-4.5}{0.82}[/tex] ) = P(Z < -0.61) = 1 - P(Z [tex]\leq[/tex] 0.61)
= 1 - 0.7291 = 0.2709
P(X [tex]\leq[/tex] 3) = P( [tex]\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex] [tex]\leq[/tex] [tex]\frac{3-4.5}{0.82}[/tex] ) = P(Z [tex]\leq[/tex] -1.83) = 1 - P(Z < 1.83)
= 1 - 0.9664 = 0.0336
The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 0.61 and x = 1.83 in the z table which has an area of 0.7291 and 0.9664 respectively.
Therefore, P(3 < X < 4) = 0.2709 - 0.0336 = 0.2373
(D) Now, it is given that 85% of the time the port can handle the weekly cargo volume without extending operating hours, that means;
P(X > x) = 0.85 {where x is the required no. of tons of cargo}
P( [tex]\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex] > [tex]\frac{x-4.5}{0.82}[/tex] ) = 0.85
P(Z > [tex]\frac{x-4.5}{0.82}[/tex] ) = 0.85
In the z table, the critical value of x which represents top 85% area is given as -1.036, that is;
[tex]\frac{x-4.5}{0.82} = -1.036[/tex]
[tex]{x-4.5} = -1.036\times 0.82[/tex]
x = 4.5 - 0.85 = 3.65 million tons
Hence, the number of tons of cargo per week that will require the port to extend its operating hours is 3.65 million tons.

Step-by-step explanation:
Yes, because the product of their slopes are -1. Rest explanation in the attached file. Hope it helps :)
Answer:
AB(y = ax + b) contains A(2, 1) and B(3, 4)
=> 2a + b = 1
3a + b =4
=> a = 3, b= -5 => Slope AB = a = 3
CD (y = cx + d) contains C(-2, -1) and D(1, -2)
=> -2c + d = -1
c + d = -2
=> c = -1/3, d = -5/3 => Slope CD = c =-1/3
If AB is perpendicular to CD, then Slope's AB x Slope's CD = -1
Check:
a x c = 3 x (-1/3) = -1
=> AB is perpendicular to CD
=> Option B is correct.
Hope this helps!

Vivek plans to survey 10 randomly chosen residence out of the 280 people that live in his community about plans for new neighborhood dog park describe one way he can make the sample to represent the population of residence *hint how will you pick those 10 people*
Step-by-step explanation:
To randomly pick the 10 people needed in the sample, it can be done this way
1. Define the population: in this case, the total population is 280 and expressed as N and since we are interested in everyone in the neighborhood with no exclusion, our sampling frame is thus 280 people.
2. Choose your sample size: As given in the question, our sample size is to randomly pick 10 people expressed as n.
3. List your population and then assign numbers to each unit in the population: Getting the list of all 280 people in the population and then assigning numbers from 1 to N - in this case 1 - 280.
4. Then find random numbers using the random number table to help select your 10 people sample making them a representative of the population in residence.

Answer:
a. [tex]f^-^1(x)=\frac{x}{4} +3[/tex]
b. [tex]f(-9)=-48[/tex]
c. [tex]f^-^1(-9)=\frac{3}{4}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
In a, the -1 means inverse of f(x). To find the inverse, you rewrite the equation in terms of x and y. You replace the x with y and y with x. Then you solve for y.
[tex]f^-^1(x)=4x-12[/tex]
[tex]y=4x-12[/tex]
[tex]x=4y-12[/tex]
[tex]x+12=4y[/tex]
[tex]\frac{x}{4} +3=y[/tex]
[tex]f^-^1(x)=\frac{x}{4} +3[/tex]
In b, all you have to do is plug in -9 into f(x).
[tex]f(9)=4(9)-12[/tex]
[tex]f(9)=-48[/tex]
In c, you plug in -9 into inverse function f.
[tex]f^-^1(-9)=\frac{3}{4}[/tex]

Factor 3 out of 21 a^2 - 57 a + 30:
3 (7 a^2 - 19 a + 10)
Factor the quadratic 7 a^2 - 19 a + 10. The coefficient of a^2 is 7 and the constant term is 10. The product of 7 and 10 is 70. The factors of 70 which sum to -19 are -5 and -14. So 7 a^2 - 19 a + 10 = 7 a^2 - 14 a - 5 a + 10 = a (7 a - 5) - 2 (7 a - 5):
3 a (7 a - 5) - 2 (7 a - 5)
Factor 7 a - 5 from a (7 a - 5) - 2 (7 a - 5):
Answer: 3 (7 a - 5) (a - 2)
What is the price per square inch of the better buy: A large pizza with an 18 inch diameter for $20, or a medium pizza with a 14 inch diameter for $14?
Answer:
The large pizza has the lower cost per square inch, so it is the better buy.
Step-by-step explanation:
A pizza has the format of a circle.
The area of a circle with radius r is given by the following equation:
[tex]A = \pi r^{2}[/tex]
A large pizza with an 18 inch diameter for $20
The radius is half the diameter, so [tex]r = 9[/tex].
In square inches, the area is:
[tex]A = \pi*9^{2} = 81\pi = 254.47[/tex]
254.47 square inches cost $20. So the price per square inch is 20/254.47 = 0.0786.
Medium pizza with a 14 inch diameter for $14:
Radius is 7. So
[tex]A = \pi*7^{2} = 49\pi = 153.938[/tex]
153.938 square inches cost $14. So the price per square inch is 14/153.938 = 0.0909.
The large pizza has the lower cost per square inch, so it is the better buy.

Answer:
I think it's true. hope this helps!!
What’s the correct answer for this?
Answer:
B.
Step-by-step explanation:
Data
Center = (2, -16)
A (2, -13)
P (-1, -16)
Equation
(x - h)² + (y - k)² = r² or
(x₁ - h)² + (y₁ - k)² = (x₂ - h)² + (y₂ - k)²
Substitution
(2 - 2)² + (-13 + 16)² = (-1 - 2)² + (-16 + 16)²
The signs in my equation and the one in the options are different but the results are the same
The population of a small town in central Florida has shown a linear decline in the years 2002-2012. In 2002 the population was 34200 people. In 2012 it was 29300 people.
A) Write a linear equation expressing the population of the town, P , as a function of t , the number of years since 2002. Include the entire equation as your answer.
B) If the town is still experiencing a linear decline, what will the population be in 2015?
