The USDA conducted tests for salmonella in produce grown in California. In an independent sample of 252 cultures obtained from water used to irrigate the region, 18 tested positive for salmonella. In an independent sample of 476 cultures obtained from the region’s wildlife (e.g., birds), 20 tested positive for salmonella. Is this sufficient evidence for the USDA to conclude that the proportion of salmonella in the region’s water differs from the proportion of salmonella in the region’s wildlife? Assume the significance level of 0.01.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

 The decision rule is  

Fail to reject the null hypothesis

  The conclusion is  

There no sufficient evidence to show that the proportion of salmonella in the region’s water differs from the proportion of salmonella in the region’s wildlife

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The first  sample size is [tex]n_1 = 252[/tex]

    The number that tested positive is  [tex]k_1 = 18[/tex]

     The second sample size is  [tex]n_2 = 476[/tex]

     The number that  tested positive is  [tex]k_2 = 20[/tex]

     The level of significance is  [tex]\alpha = 0.01[/tex]

Generally the first sample proportion is mathematically represented as

      [tex]\^ p _1 = \frac{k_1 }{ n_1 }[/tex]

=>    [tex]\^ p _1 = \frac{18 }{ 252 }[/tex]

=>    [tex]\^ p _1 = 0.071[/tex]

Generally the second sample proportion is mathematically represented as

      [tex]\^ p _2 = \frac{k_2 }{ n_2 }[/tex]

=>    [tex]\^ p _2 = \frac{20 }{ 476}[/tex]

=>    [tex]\^ p _2 = 0.042[/tex]

The  null hypothesis is            [tex]H_o : p_1 - p_2 = 0[/tex]

The alternative hypothesis is  [tex]H_a : p_1 - p_2 \ne 0[/tex]

Generally the test statistics is mathematically represented

       [tex]z = \frac{ \^ p_1 - \^ p_2 - ( p_ 1 - p_2 )}{ \sqrt{\frac{\^ p_1 (1-\^ p_1)}{ n_1 } + \frac{\^ p_2 (1-\^ p_2)}{ n_2 } } }[/tex]

=>    [tex]z = \frac{ 0.071 - 0.042 - 0 }{ \sqrt{\frac{0.071 (1-0.071)}{ 252 } + \frac{0.042 (1-\^ 0.042)}{ 476 } } }[/tex]

=>    [tex]z = 1.56[/tex]

From the z table  the area under the normal curve to the right corresponding to  1.56   is  

        [tex]P(Z > 1.56 ) =0.05938[/tex]

Generally the p-value is mathematically represented as

         [tex]p-value = 2 * P(Z > 1.56 )[/tex]

=>      [tex]p-value = 2 * 0.05938[/tex]

=>      [tex]p-value = 0.1188[/tex]

From the value obtained we see that   [tex]p-value > \alpha[/tex] hence

  The decision rule is  

Fail to reject the null hypothesis

  The conclusion is  

There no sufficient evidence to show that the proportion of salmonella in the region’s water differs from the proportion of salmonella in the region’s wildlife

The length, x, of a rectangle is five more than the width, y, and the perimeter of the rectangle is 42 meters. If y = x – 5 is one equation used to solve the system of equations, select the other equation that can be used to solve the for the length and width of the rectangle. What are the values of the length and width?

Answers

Answer:

The other equation is [tex]x + y = 21[/tex]

The length and width are 13 and 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Perimeter = 42[/tex]

[tex]y = x - 5[/tex]

Required

What is the other equation for the length and width?

x and y represents the length and width respectively.

The perimeter of a rectangle is calculated using:

[tex]Perimeter = 2 * (length + width)[/tex]

In this case, it is:

[tex]Perimeter = 2 * (x + y)[/tex]

Substitute 42 for perimeter

[tex]42 = 2 * (x + y)[/tex]

Divide through by 2

[tex]21 = x + y[/tex]

[tex]x + y = 21[/tex]

Required: The values of length and width

We have that:

[tex]y = x - 5[/tex]

[tex]x + y = 21[/tex]

Substitute x - 5 for y in the second equation

[tex]x + x - 5 = 21[/tex]

[tex]2x - 5 = 21[/tex]

Add 5 to both sides

[tex]2x - 5 + 5 = 21 + 5[/tex]

[tex]2x = 26[/tex]

Divide through by 2

[tex]x = 13[/tex]

Substitute 13 for x in [tex]y = x - 5[/tex]

[tex]y = 13 - 5[/tex]

[tex]y = 8[/tex]

Hence, the length and width are 13 and 8 respectively

A yoga instructor offers two options for classes. Option 1: $40 joining fee and $20 per class Option 2$0 joining fee and $25 per class After how many classes will both options have the same cost?

Answers

Answer:

The indifference point is 8 classes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Option 1:

$40 joining fee and $20 per class

Option 2:

$0 joining fee and $25 per class

First, we establish the total cost formulas:

Option 1= 40 + 20x

Option 2= 0 + 25x

x= number of classes

Now, we equal both formulas and isolate x:

40 + 20x = 25x

40=5x

8=x

The indifference point is 8 classes.

Prove:

Option 1= 40 + 20*8= $200

Option 2= 0 + 25*8= $200

I hope this helps some

The given series 125, 25, 5, ... is a geometric progression thus the general term will be An=125[tex](\frac{1}{5}}) ^{n-1}[/tex].

What is geometrical progression series?

A geometric progression is a sequence in which any element after the first is obtained by multiplying the previous element by a constant which is called a common ratio denoted by r.

For example, the sequence 1, 4, 16, 64,… is a geometric sequence with a common ratio of r = 4.

The given GP series is 125, 25, 5, ...

First term a = 125

Common ratio = 25/125 = 1/5

The nth term will be given as ar^(n-1)

Thus, An=125[tex](\frac{1}{5}}) ^{n-1}[/tex].

Hence "The given series 125, 25, 5, ... is a geometric progression thus the general term will be An=125".

The statement that the two triangles are similar based on the given figure is false.

What are Similar Triangles?

Two triangles are said to be similar if the triangles are of the same shape but different size. The angles of the triangle will be equal and the sides are proportional.

So, we know that two similar triangles will have all the corresponding angles equal to each other.

Given two triangles EFG and HJK.

Also, given that,

EG = 8 and HK = 16

EG/ HK = 8/16 = 1/2

∠E = ∠H = 90°

There are no other information given.

If one more corresponding angles are equal, we can use ASA, AAS or AA property, and if one more corresponding side are proportional, we can use SAS postulate.

In this case, we cannot say two triangles are similar.

Hence the statement is false.

Find the slope and y-intercept of the line in each graph. (Explore Activity 1) Please help me

Answers

Answer:

1. Slope = -2 , y-intercept = 1

2. Slope = 5 , y-intercept = -15

3. Slope = 1.5 , y-intercept = -2

4. Slope = -3 , y-intercept = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The slope is -2 because using the formula y₁-y₂÷x₁-x₂ you can use the points given to you to get -2. It doesn't matter which one you pick as y1 or y2, just make sure you keep it consistent with the x numberings. I did 1--3 (which becomes 1+3) and 0-2. Those equal 4/-2 which gives you -2. Use these same steps for all of them, but with ones that don't have the points given, just pick two that are whole numbers and not decimals. For finding the y-intercept, just find the point that is on the y axis line. It is given on number one as (0,1). So, the y-intercept is 1. Hope this helps!

The correct answer is 960 yards

Explanation:

The first step to answer this question is to calculate the distance Alan traveled. Additionally, to calculate this use the time (90 seconds) and the speed (32 ft/s) by considering distance equals speed multiplied by time.

D (Distance) = s (speed) x t (time)

D = 32 ft/s x 90 s

D= 2880 ft

This means the total distance was 2880 feet; however, the answers are provided in yards and the feet need to be changed to yards. Follow this process:

1 foot = 0.3333 yards

2880 ft x 0.3333 yards = 959.99 yards which can be rounded as 960 yards.

The correct pieces of not yellow chalk is 9. The correct pieces of yellow chalk is 3. this can be solved by dividing the total, 12, by 4, because that is the total amount of units. This solves for one unit. Once you know the value of one unit, you can find the total of each type of chalk.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us consider the points (- 2, - 9) & (0, - 5)

Equation of line in two point form is given as:

[y-(-9)]/[-9-(-5)] = [x - (-2)]/[-2 - 0]

(y + 9)/(-9 +5) = (x + 2)/ (-2)

(y + 9)/(-4) = (x + 2)/(-2)

(y + 9)/(2) = (x + 2)/(1)

(y + 9) = 2(x + 2)

y + 9 = 2x + 4

y = 2x + 4 - 9

y = 2x - 5

This is the required function.
