The U.S. Federal Seed Act establishes germination rates for various fruit and vegetable seeds. Watermelon seeds are to meet a 70% germination standard. A skeptical gardener who has not had very good luck planting watermelons believes that the seed company he purchases seeds from is not adhering to the 70% federal mandate. Once a week for 12 weeks, he purchases a pack of 10 watermelon seeds to act as his sample. He plants the seeds in a greenhouse with good soil to maintain a consistent temperature and watering routine. He finds that the germination rate for the company's watermelon seeds is 55%. Compute a 98% confidence interval to estimate the proportion of watermelon seeds that germinate. Be sure to interpret your interval in the context of the problem.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The 98% confidence interval to estimate the proportion of watermelon seeds that germinate is (0.4443, 0.6557). This means that we are 98% sure that the true proportion of all watermalong seeds of the company that germinate is between these two values, which means that there is good evidence that the proportion is below the 70% standard.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of [tex]\pi[/tex], and a confidence level of [tex]1-\alpha[/tex], we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

[tex]\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]

In which

z is the z-score that has a p-value of [tex]1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}[/tex].

Once a week for 12 weeks, he purchases a pack of 10 watermelon seeds to act as his sample. He plants the seeds in a greenhouse with good soil to maintain a consistent temperature and watering routine. He finds that the germination rate for the company's watermelon seeds is 55%.

This means that [tex]n = 12*10 = 120, \pi = 0.55[/tex]

98% confidence level

So [tex]\alpha = 0.02[/tex], z is the value of Z that has a p-value of [tex]1 - \frac{0.02}{2} = 0.99[/tex], so [tex]Z = 2.327[/tex].

The lower limit of this interval is:

[tex]\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.55 - 2.327\sqrt{\frac{0.55*0.45}{120}} = 0.4443[/tex]

The upper limit of this interval is:

[tex]\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.55 + 2.327\sqrt{\frac{0.55*0.45}{120}} = 0.6557[/tex]

QUESTION 1
Determine the work done by the force
F=31+] + k in moving an object through
displacement T = 7 -7 -K

Answers

It's difficult to make out what the force and displacement vectors are supposed to be, so I'll generalize.

Let θ be the angle between the force vector F and the displacement vector r. The work W done by F in the direction of r is

W = F • r cos(θ)

The cosine of the angle between the vectors can be obtained from the dot product identity,

a • b = ||a|| ||b|| cos(θ) ==> cos(θ) = (a • b) / (||a|| ||b||)

so that

W = (F • r)² / (||F|| ||r||)

For instance, if F = 3i + j + k and r = 7i - 7j - k (which is my closest guess to the given vectors' components), then the work done by F along r is

W = ((3i + j + k) • (7i - 7j - k))² / (√(3² + 1² + 1²) √(7² + (-7)² + (-1)²))

==> W ≈ 5.12 J

(assuming F and r are measured in Newtons (N) and meters (m), respectively).

Given the functions:
g(n) = 3n - 5
f(n) = n2 + 50
Find:
(g+f)(8)

Answers

Answer:

[tex](g + f)(8) =133[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]g(n) = 3n - 5[/tex]

[tex]f(n) = n^2 + 50[/tex]

Required

[tex](g + f)(8)[/tex]

This is calculated as:

[tex](g + f)(n) =g(n) + f(n)[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex](g + f)(n) =3n - 5 + n^2 +50[/tex]

[tex]Substitute[/tex] 8 for n

[tex](g + f)(8) =3*8 - 5 + 8^2 +50[/tex]

[tex](g + f)(8) =24 - 5 + 64 +50[/tex]

[tex](g + f)(8) =133[/tex]

Consider the random experiment of tossing 3 fair coins and observing how many of them come to rest with the heads side of the coin facing upwards. (Assume that each of the coins comes to rest with either its heads side or its tails side facing upwards (i.e., none of the coins comes to rest balanced on its edge).) Letting A denote the event that at least 1 of the coins comes to rest with its heads side upwards, B denote the event that none of the coins comes to rest with its heads side upwards, and S denote the sample space, which of the following statements does not include an abuse of notation?

a. S = 16
b. S = AUB
c. S - 4
d. S = 3
e. P(B) = φ

Answers

Answer:

b. S = AUB

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the coins are tossed 3 times and each coin has head, H and tail, T(2 sides), the sample space is S = 2 × 2 × 2 = 2³ = 8

All the possible outcomes are HTT, HHT, HHH, THH, TTH, HTH,THT and TTT

Since S denote the sample space

S = {HTT, HHT, HHH, THH, TTH, HTH,THT, TTT}

Since A denote the event that at least 1 of the coins comes to rest with its heads side upwards, the possible outcomes are HTT, HHT, HHH, THH, TTH, HTH and THT

So, A = {HTT, HHT, HHH, THH, TTH, HTH,THT}

Also B denote the event that none of the coins comes to rest with its heads side upwards, that is no heads. The possible outcome is TTT

So, B = {TTT}

Since S denote the sample space

S = {HTT, HHT, HHH, THH, TTH, HTH,THT, TTT}

So, A ∪ B = {HTT, HHT, HHH, THH, TTH, HTH,THT} ∪ {TTT} = {HTT, HHT, HHH, THH, TTH, HTH,THT, TTT} = S

So, S = A ∪ B

So, S = A ∪ B does not denote an abuse of notation.

The answer is b.

A polynomial function is shown below:

f(x) = x3 − 3x2 − 4x + 12

Which graph best represents the function? (5 points)

Answers

Answer:

Graph A (first graph from top to bottom)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given [tex]f(x)=x^3-3x^2-4x+12[/tex], since the degree of the polynomial is 3, the function must be odd and will resemble the shown shape in the graphs. The degree of 3 indicates that there are 3 zeroes, whether distinct or non-distinct. Therefore, the graph must intersect the x-axis at these three points.

Factoring the polynomial:

[tex]f(x)=x^3-3x^2-4x+12,\\f(x)=(x+2)(x-2)(x-3),\\\begin{cases}x+2=0, x=-2\\x-2=0, x=2\\x-3=, x=3\end{cases}[/tex]

Thus, the three zeroes of this function are [tex]x=-2, x=2, x=3[/tex] and the graph must intersection the x-axis at these points. The y-intercept of any graph occurs when [tex]x=0[/tex]. Thus, the y-coordinate of the y-intercept is equal to [tex]y=0^3-3(0^2)-4(0)+12,\\y=12[/tex] and the y-intercept is (0, 12).

The graph that corresponds with this is graph A.

What is a formula for the nth term of the given sequence?
36, 24, 16...

Answers

Answer:

The formula to find the nth term of the given sequence is 54 · [tex]\frac{2}{3} ^{n}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for nth term of an geometric progression is :

[tex]a_{n} = \frac{a_{1}(r^{n})}{r}[/tex]

In this example, we have [tex]a_{1}[/tex] = 36 (the first term in the sequence) and

r = [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] (the rate in which the sequence is changing).

Knowing what the values for r and [tex]a_{1}[/tex] are, now we can solve.

[tex]a_{n} = \frac{a_{1}(r^{n})}{r}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{36 (\frac{2}{3} ^{n}) }{\frac{2}{3} }[/tex] = 54 · [tex]\frac{2}{3} ^{n}[/tex]

Therefore, the formula to find the nth term of the given sequence is

Mean = 19.84

Standard deviation = 11.12

Step-by-step explanation:

Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question. See the attached pdf file for the complete question.

The explanation of the answer is now given as follows:

Note: See the attached excel file for the calculation of the total of fx and total of f*x^2.

N = Number of individuals sampled = 200

From the attached excel file, we have:

Total of fx = 3,967

Total of f*x^2 = 103,425.50

Therefore, we have:

Mean = Total of fx / N = 3,967 / 200 = 19.84

Variance = (Total of f*x^2 / N) - Mean^2 = (103,425.50 / 200) - 19.84^2 = 517.13 - 393.43 = 123.70

Standard deviation = Variance^0.5 = 123.70^0.5 = 11.12

Answers

Answer: [tex]\dfrac{7}{132}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Total marbles in the jar = 8+25 = 33

Using combinations, the number of ways of choosing two marbles out of 33= [tex]\dfrac{33!}{2!(33-2)!}\\\\=\dfrac{33!}{2\times31!}\\\\=\dfrac{33\times32}{2}=528[/tex] (total outcomes)

Similarly, the number of ways of choosing two red marbles =

[tex]\dfrac{8!}{2!6!}\\\\=\dfrac{8\times7}{2}=28[/tex](favorable outcomes)

Required probability = [tex]\dfrac{\text{favorable outcomes}}{\text{total outcomes}}[/tex]

[tex]=\dfrac{28}{528}\\\\=\dfrac{7}{132}[/tex]

hence, required probability = [tex]\dfrac{7}{132}[/tex]

A customer buys a different book that has an original selling price of $38. The book is discounted 25%. The customer must pay a 6% sales tax on the discounted price of the book.
What is the total amount, in dollars, the customer pays for the discounted book? Explain and SHOW how you arrived at your answer.

Answers

Answer:

$30.21

Step-by-step explanation:

100% -25%= 75%

Discounted price of the book

= 75% ×$38

= $28.50

Since the customer must pay an additional 6% of the discounted price,

percentage of discounted price paid

= 100% +6%

= 106%

Total amount paid

= 106% × $28.50

= $30.21

_________________________________

Alternative working:

Original selling price= $38

Since the book is discounted 25%,

100% ----- $38

1% ----- $0.38

75% ----- 75 ×$0.38= $28.50

Since the sales tax is based on the discounted price, we let the discounted price be 100%.

100% ----- $28.50

1% ----- $0.285

106% ----- 106 ×$0.285= $30.21

∴ The total amount the customer pays for the discounted book is $30.21.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]L =21.945[/tex] --- Length

[tex]W = 7.9725[/tex] --- Width

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Let

[tex]L \to Length[/tex]

[tex]W \to Width[/tex]

So:

[tex]Area = 175[/tex]

[tex]L = 6 + 2W[/tex]

Required

The dimension of the rectangle

The area is calculated as:

[tex]Area =L*W[/tex]

This gives:

[tex]175 =L*W[/tex]

Substitute: [tex]L = 6 + 2W[/tex]

[tex]175 =(6 + 2W)*W[/tex]

Open bracket

[tex]175 =6W + 2W^2[/tex]

Rewrite as:

[tex]2W^2+ 6W -175 = 0[/tex]

Using quadratic formula:

[tex]W = \frac{-b \± \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}[/tex]

This gives:

[tex]W = \frac{-6 \± \sqrt{6^2 - 4*2*-175}}{2*2}[/tex]

[tex]W = \frac{-6 \± \sqrt{1436}}{2*2}[/tex]

[tex]W = \frac{-6 \± 37.89}{4}[/tex]

Split

[tex]W = \frac{-6+ 37.89}{4}, W = \frac{-6- 37.89}{4}[/tex]

[tex]W = \frac{31.89}{4}, W = \frac{-43.89}{4}[/tex]

The width cannot be negative;

So:

[tex]W = \frac{31.89}{4}[/tex]

[tex]W = 7.9725[/tex]

Recall that:

[tex]L = 6 + 2W[/tex]

[tex]L =6 + 2 * 7.9725[/tex]
