Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Functionally important traits in animals tend to vary little from one individual to the next within populations, possibly because individuals who deviate too much from the mean have lower fitness. If this is the case, does variance in a trait rise after it becomes less functionally important? Billet et al. (2012) investigated this question with the semicircular canals (SC) of the three-toed sloth (Bradypus variegatus). The authors proposed that since sloths don't move their heads much, the functional importance of SC is reduced, and may vary more than it does in more active animals. They obtained the following measurements of the ratio of the length to width of the anterior SC in 6 sloths. Assume this represents a random sample. In other, more active animals, the standard deviation of this ratio is 0.09.
Answer:
The 95% confidence interval for the standard deviation is (0.14, 0.54).
Step-by-step explanation:
The complete data and question is:
Sloth CW Ratios ; {1.5 , 1.09 , 0.98 , 1.42 , 1.49 , 1.25}
The 95% confidence interval for the standard deviation of this data is < σ < (two decimals - include the leading zero) .
Solution:
Compute the sample standard deviation as follows:
[tex]\bar x=\frac{1}{n}\sum x=\frac{1}{6}\times 7.73=1.2883\\\\s=\sqrt{\frac{1}{n-1}\sum (x-\bar x)^{2}}=\sqrt{\frac{1}{6-1}\times 0.2387}=0.2185[/tex]
The (1 - α)% confidence interval for the variance is:
[tex]CI=\frac{(n-1)s^{2}}{\chi^{2}_{\alpha/2}}<\sigma^{2}<\frac{(n-1)s^{2}}{\chi^{2}_{1-\alpha/2}}[/tex]
Confidence level = 95%
⇒ α = 0.05
The degrees of freedom is,
df = n - 1 = 6 - 1 = 5
Compute the critical values of Chi-square:
[tex]\chi^{2}_{\alpha/2, (n-1)}=\chi^{2}_{0.025,5}=12.833\\\\\chi^{2}_{1-\alpha/2, (n-1)}=\chi^{2}_{0.975,5}=0.831[/tex]
*Use a Chi-square table.
Compute the 95% confidence interval for the variance as follows:
[tex]CI=\frac{(n-1)s^{2}}{\chi^{2}_{\alpha/2}}<\sigma^{2}<\frac{(n-1)s^{2}}{\chi^{2}_{1-\alpha/2}}[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{5\times (0.2185)^{2}}{12.833}<\sigma^{2}<\frac{5\times (0.2185)^{2}}{0.831}\\\\=0.0186<\sigma^{2}<0.2873\\\\=\sqrt{0.0186}<\sigma<\sqrt{0.2873}\\\\=0.1364<\sigma<0.5360\\\\\approx 0.14<\sigma<0.54[/tex]
Thus, the 95% confidence interval for the standard deviation is (0.14, 0.54).
2. The service life of a battery used in a cardiac pacemaker is assumed to be normally distributed. A random sample of ten batteries is subjected to an accelerated life test by running them continuously at an elevated temperature until failure, and the follow ing lifetimes (in hours) are obtained: 25.5, 26.1, 26.8, 23.2, 24.2, 28.4, 25.0, 27.8, 27.3, and 25.7. a. The manufacturer wants to be certain that the mean battery life exceeds 25 h. What conclusions can be drawn from these data (use a= 0.05)? b. Construct a 90% two-sided confidence interval on mean life in the accelerated test.
Answer:
Kindly check explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming a normal distribution :
Sample (x) :25.5, 26.1, 26.8, 23.2, 24.2, 28.4, 25.0, 27.8, 27.3, 25.7
Null hypothesis : μ = 25
Alternative hypothesis : μ > 25
α = 0.05
Decision region :
Reject Null if :
t0 > t
t can be obtained from the t distribution table at : df = (n - 1) = 10 - 1 = 9 ; α = 0.05
Hence, t(0.05, 9) = 1.833
From the sample given ; t0
t0 = (m - μ) / (s /√n)
n = sample size = 10
s = sample standard deviation
m = sample mean
Using calculator :
25.5, 26.1, 26.8, 23.2, 24.2, 28.4, 25.0, 27.8, 27.3, 25.7
Sample mean(m) = 26
Sample standard deviation (s) = 1.624
t0 = (26 - 25) / (1.624 /√10) = 1.947
1.947 > 1.833
Hence, reject Null
B)
Confidence interval at 90% ; α = 0.1
m ± t(0.1/2 ; 9) * s/√n
m - t * s/√n ≤ μ ≤ m + t * s/√n
26 - 1.833 * (1.624/√10) ≤ μ ≤ 26 + 1.833 * (1.624/√10)
25.059 ≤ μ ≤ 26.941

Answer:
the values of angle;
a=61
b=61
c=29
Answer: All of the angles combined are 180 degrees. Since b and its adjacent angle is 90 degrees, you would subtract 90-29, which gives you 61. b=61. You would then use both angle measures to determine the other two. You would need to find two values that add up to 90 degrees for c and a. Angle b+c would be equal to 90 degrees, and angle a and d (I used d to represent the 29 degree angle) would be equal to 90 degrees, equaling a total of 180 degrees. Angle a would be equal to 61, and angle c would be equal to 29. Hope this helps.

You want to go to the movies with your friends and your parents offer to pay for everyone.
If each movie ticket is $13.50 and you plan on splitting a giant popcorn and drink that cost
$19.95 total, what is the maximum number of tickets you can buy if your parents give you
$75?
Answer:
4 tickets
Step-by-step explanation:
1. make an equation representing the situation. x is the number of how many tickets you buy
13.5x + 19.95 = 75
2. subtract 19.95 from both sides
13.5x = 55.05
3. divide by 13.5 on both sides
x = 4.08
now, you can't buy 0.08 of a ticket, so you have to round to the nearest whole number, which in this case is 4.
Answer:
4 tickets
Step-by-step explanation:.
13.5x + 19.95 = 75
13.5x = 55.05
x = 4.08
Now, you have to round to the nearest whole number, which in this case is 4.

Answer:
3w+2w= 10
5w= 10
w = 10/5
w = 2
Answer:
w = 2

There are 40 students in a class. The teacher gave each female student 5
counters and each male student 3 counters. After the distribution of the
counters, the teacher realized that the female students had 128 more counters
than the male students,
Thus the required number of male and female students are 9 and 31 respectively.
Mathematics, it deals with numbers of operations according to the statements. There are four major arithmetic operators, addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division,
here,
Let the number of male students is x and the number of female students be y,
According to the question,
x + y = 40
x = 40 - y ----- (1)
Now,
again from the question,
5y = 3x + 128
3x = 5y - 128
from equation 1
3 (40 - y) = 5y -128
120 - 3y = 5y - 128
120 + 128 = 8y
8y = 248
y = 31
Now,
From equation 1
x = 40 - y
x = 40 - 31
x = 9
Thus the required number of male and female students are 9 and 31 respectively.

Cherry cuts 6 pieces of tape, each 4/5 m long ,from a roll of tape 5m long . How many meters of tape are left in the roll?
The meters of tape left in the roll will be equal to 1/5 meters.
What are arithmetic operations?The four basic operations of arithmetic can be used to add, subtract, multiply, or divide two or even more quantities.
They cover topics like the study of integers and the order of operations, which are relevant to all other areas of mathematics including algebra, data processing, and geometry.
As per the information given in the question,
The total length of Tape = 5 m
Total number of pieces = 6
Length of each piece = 4/5 m
Then, the total length of the pieces will be,
6 × 4/5
= 24/5
Then, the amount of tape left in the roll will be,

Frequentist Probability
The probability of an outcome is defined as the frequency of the number of times the outcome occurs relative to the number of times that it could have occurred.
The equation to calculate the probability is:
[tex]\displaystyle P=\frac{f}{n}[/tex]
Where f is the number of favorable cases and n is the total cases.
John has in a cup of his desk:
6 pencils
3 blue+5 black+2 red pens=10 pens
Picking one of the utensils from the cup can be done in 16 different ways. That is the total number of cases n=16
The outcome of taking a pencil can be done in 6 ways. That is the number of favorable cases. f=6.
The probability is:
[tex]\displaystyle P=\frac{6}{16}[/tex]
Simplifying:
[tex]\displaystyle P=\frac{3}{8}[/tex]
Or expressed as a percentage:
P=3/8*100%
P=37.5%
Represent in Interval notation
Answer: [tex][5, \infty)[/tex]
On a keyboard, you would write [5, infinity)
The square bracket means "include this value" and a curved parenthesis means "exclude this value". We cannot include infinity as it is not a number, so we always use parenthesis with either infinity.
[tex]y \ge 5[/tex] is the same as [tex]5 \le y[/tex] which is also the same as [tex]5 \le y < \infty[/tex] which may help lead to set up the interval notation answer.
