An ecologist is concerned that the number of toads that inhabit an area is declining. Since it is difficult to count the total number of toads exactly, a method that they use to detect the abundance of toads is to measure the time between mating calls during mating season. From a ten-year-old study, the mean time between mating calls was 1.2 seconds with a standard deviation of .3 seconds. Let X denote the random time between mating calls of these toads, and suppose X is normally distributed. The ecologist randomly selects a time between mating calls. Please compute the values up to three decimals ( ex: 0.571) Calculate the probability that the selected time is exactly 1.2 seconds

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

0% probability that the selected time is exactly 1.2 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

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 z-score 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 p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

The probability of a value being equals to x is 0 in the normal distribution.

From a ten-year-old study, the mean time between mating calls was 1.2 seconds with a standard deviation of .3 seconds.

This means that [tex]\mu = 1.2, \sigma = 0.3[/tex]

Calculate the probability that the selected time is exactly 1.2 seconds?

In the normal distribution, the probability of a finding an exact value is 0. So 0% probability that the selected time is exactly 1.2 seconds.

Mr. Allen has a class of 18 students. He can spend S18 on each student to buy math supplies for the year. He first buys all of his students calculators, which
costs a total of $124.20. After buying the calculators, how much does he have left to spend on each student?

Answers

Answer

$199.8

Explanation:

Find the total amount of money he had in the begining. It says that he can spend $18 on each student. He has 18 students so you would multiply that by the $18 he can spend which gives a total of $324 then you subtract the total cost of the calculators from it which then gives you $199.8

This is a linear equation since the equation is in the form of

where m is the slope and b is the y intercept.

Since we starting at the orgin, and b is our y intercept.

Our first point is

(0,-4).

since the slope is 4/3.

We would rise 4 from the y value and run 3 to the x value.

In other words, to find your second point, go up 4 units from the first point and move to the right 3 units.

So our next point is at

A study of peach trees found that the average number of peaches per tree was 725. The standard deviation of the population is 70 peaches per tree. A scientist wishes to find the 95% confidence interval for the mean number of peaches per tree. How many trees does she need to sample to obtain an average accurate to within 10 peaches per tree

Answers

Answer:

She needs to sample 189 trees.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our [tex]\alpha[/tex] level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

[tex]\alpha = \frac{1 - 0.95}{2} = 0.025[/tex]

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of [tex]1 - \alpha[/tex].

That is z with a pvalue of [tex]1 - 0.025 = 0.975[/tex], so Z = 1.96.

Now, find the margin of error M as such

[tex]M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

In which [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

The standard deviation of the population is 70 peaches per tree.

This means that [tex]\sigma = 70[/tex]

How many trees does she need to sample to obtain an average accurate to within 10 peaches per tree?

She needs to sample n trees.

n is found when M = 10. So

[tex]M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

[tex]10 = 1.96\frac{70}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

[tex]10\sqrt{n} = 1.96*70[/tex]

Dividing both sides by 10:

[tex]\sqrt{n} = 1.96*7[/tex]

[tex](\sqrt{n})^2 = (1.96*7)^2[/tex]

[tex]n = 188.2[/tex]

Rounding up:

She needs to sample 189 trees.

So first you need to find the area of the building site which is:

length x width

39.5m x 32.5m

= 1283.75[tex]m^{2}[/tex]

We know that one square meter costs 185.50 euros.

1[tex]m^{2}[/tex] = 185.50 euros

1283.75[tex]m^{2}[/tex] = 238135.625 euros

I'm not exactly that familiar with euros but I'm pretty sure that euros don't have 3 numbers after the point so the two nearest numbers are 238134.86 and 238135.86.

sorry if this is wrong, but I hope it helps, if the euros part is wrong please correct me thanks!

(a) A university gives credit in first-year calculus to students who pass a placement test. The mathematics department wants to know if students who get credit in this way differ in their success with second-year calculus. Scores in second-year calculus are scaled so the average each year is equivalent to a 75. This year 17students who took second-year calculus passed the placement test.

H0:μ<75;Ha:μ=75

(b) Experiments on learning in animals sometimes measure how long it takes a mouse to find its way through a maze. The mean time is 24 seconds for one particular maze. A researcher thinks that playing rap music will cause the mice to complete the maze slower. She measures how long each of 17 mice takes with the rap music as a stimulus.

In a class of 50 students, 40 students offered Physics and 30 offered Biology. How many offered both Physics and Biology?

Answers

Answer:

20 students offered both physics and biology.

Step-by-step explanation:

n(Total) = 50

n(Physics) = 40

n(Biology) = 30

Let n(Physics and Biology) = x

n(Physics only) = 40 -x

n(Biology only) = 30 - x

40 - x + 30 - x + x = 50

70 - x = 50

x = 20

20 students are in biology and in physics

In a clinical trial, 780 participants suffering from high blood pressure were randomly assigned to one of three groups. Over a one-month period, the first group received the experimental drug, the second group received a placebo, and the third group received no treatment. The diastolic blood pressure of each participant was measured at the beginning and at the end of the period and the change in blood pressure was recorded. The average change in blood pressure was calculated for each of the three groups and the three averages were compared.

B. Identify the factors and levels.
C. Are all the principles of experimental design included in this experiment? Explain.

Answers

Answer:

A.  We know that this was an experiment rather than an observational study because treatments were administered, with the first group receiving the experimental drug, the second group receiving a placebo, and the third group receiving no treatment."

B. The factors are the variables.  The independent variable was group three that received no treatment, while the dependent variables were the first and second groups that received some treatments.  Another variable is the change in blood pressure recorded at the end of the period.

The levels refer to the different treatments that were administered to the three groups: experimental drug, placebo, and no treatment.

C. The principles of experimental design are Randomization, Repetition, and Control.  We are not aware of how the participants were chosen and this experiment was not replicated in the scenario.  We can affirm that there is Control because the three groups were not given the same treatment.

Step-by-step explanation:

In an observation, the researcher does not attempt to change any variables.  She simply observes and then records her observations.  In an experimental study, the researcher creates a control group and, also at least, one testable group.  The purpose is to compare the control group and the testable group.
