A student wants to determine if different types of soil, A and B, affect the propagation of African violets. One hundred leaves from the same variety of African violet were selected. The leaves were then randomly assigned to 50 pots with type A soil and the remaining leaves were put into the 50 pots with type B soil. All of the pots were given the same amount of water and arranged in 10 rows of 10 pots near a window for light. The 50 pots with type A soil were placed closest to the window. At the end of two months, the pots with type A soil had the greatest number of pots with new growth, so the student concluded that soil type A was more effective that soil type B.

Is this a valid conclusion?

Yes, because the leaves were randomly assigned, this evenly distributed the variability in the leaves; therefore, type A soil is more effective than type B soil.

Yes, because the amount of water and light were controlled, this may have reduced the variability in the response; therefore, type A soil is more effective than type B soil.

No, because the pots with type A soil were closest to the window, they received more light, which may have led to the new growth.

No, because only African violets were used, replication was not properly implemented; therefore, we cannot conclude that type A soil was more effective.

Roberto Mantovani's three-pointers:_____35.42%_____

(c) Roberto had a lower percent than Seth for both types of field goals, but had a better overall percent. That sounds impossible, select the correct statement concerning the situation.

i) This is an example of Simpson's paradox. The comparison that holds for both field goal groups is reversed when the groups are combined into one group

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Benedict College 2014-2020 men's basketball team:

                               Seth Fitzgerald   Roberto Mantovani        Total

                               Made  Missed        Made   Missed       Made    Missed

Two-pointers          123         118              87           84           210        205

Three-pointers         31            6              17              2            48             8

Total                       154         124           104            86          258        210

a) All field goal attempts = 258 (154 + 104)

Field goal attempts by Seth Fitzgerald = 154/258 * 100 = 59.69%

Goal 154 - 124 = 30/258 * 100 = 11.63%

Roberto Mantovani = 104/258*100 = 40.31%

Goal 104 - 86 = 18/258 *100 = 6.98%

Percent of all two-point field goals and all three-point field goals that both Seth and Roberto made:

Goals by both = 48 (30 + 18) = 48/258*100 = 18.61 (11.63 + 6.98)

Seth Fitzgerald's two-pointers = 123/210*100 = 58.57%

Roberto Mantovani's two-pointers = 87/210*100 = 41.43%

Seth Fitzgerald's three-pointers = 31/48*100 = 64.58%

Roberto Mantovani's three-pointers = 17/48*100 = 35.42%

b) Simpson's paradox, also called Yule-Simpson effect, says that when we combine all of the groups together (e.g. two-pointer and three-pointer games played by Seth and Roberto respectively) and look at the data in total form, the correlation that we noticed before may reverse itself.  The cause of this reversion is lurking variables or numerical values of the data.

Answer:

I'd say it's 0.03

Step-by-step explanation:

0.03 divided by 10 is 0.003 so it's 1/10

0.003 is 1/10th of 0.03.

A decimal is represented by a point or a dot it separates the decimal part and the fractional part for example 24.75 here the whole part is is 24 and the fractional part is 75.

if we divide 0.03 by 10  = [tex]\frac{0.03}{10}[/tex] = 0.003.                     (dividing a number by 10

                                                                                    moves the decimal point

                                                                                    to the left by 1 because                      

                                                                                    10 has 1 no. of zeroes)

Answer:

1.41

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the table :

X : _____0 ___ 1 ____ 2 ____ 3 ____ 4 ____5 P(X= x)_ 11/48_7/24_ 3/16____1/6___ 1/12 __1/24

The standard deviation = √var(x)

The Variance : Var(X) = (Σx²*p(x)) - μ²

μ = E(X) = Σ(X * p(x)) :

Σ(X * p(x)) = (0*(11/48))+(1*(7/24))+(2*(3/16))+(3*(1/6))+(4*(1/12))+(5*(1/24))

μ = 1.70833333

Var(X): [(0^2*(11/48))+(1^2*(7/24))+(2^2*(3/16))+(3^2*(1/6))+(4^2*(1/12))+(5^2*(1/24))] - 1.70833333^2

= 4.9166667 - 2.9184027663889

Std (x) = √1.9982639336111

Std (x) = 1.4135996

Std (x) = 1.41

Answer:

The Standard deviation of the random variable is 1.414.

Step-by-step explanation:

We Know,

Standard deviation= [tex]\sqrt{variance}[/tex]

Variance is given by:

[tex]Var(X)=E(X^{2} )-E(X)^{2}\\[/tex]

Given,

[tex]x = 0\ 1\ 2\ 3\ 4\ 5\\P(X=x)= \frac{11}{48} \ \frac{7}{24} \ \frac{3}{16}\ \frac{1}{6}\ \frac{1}{12}\ \frac{1}{24} \\[/tex]

[tex]E(X)=[/tex]∑ [tex]x*P(X)[/tex]

[tex]E(X) = 0+ 1*\frac{7}{24} + 2*\frac{3}{16} + 3*\frac{1}{6} + 4*\frac{1}{12} + 5*\frac{1}{24}\\= 1.7083[/tex]

[tex]E(X^{2} ) =[/tex][tex]0+ 1^{2} *\frac{7}{24} + 2^{2} *\frac{3}{16} + 3^{2} *\frac{1}{6} + 4^{2} *\frac{1}{12} + 5^{2} *\frac{1}{24}[/tex]

[tex]= 4.9167[/tex]

So,

[tex]Var(X)= 4.9167- 1.7083^{2}[/tex]

[tex]= 1.99841\\\\Hence, Standard Deviation= \sqrt{1.99841} \\\\ Standard Deviation= 1.413( (upto 3 decimals)[/tex]

Answer: the answer is b

Step-by-step explanation:

Just trust me

Answer:

b) 0.0228

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the z score formula when given random number of samples =

z = (x-μ)/σ/√n where

x is the raw score = $3.5 million

μ is the population mean = $3.26 million

σ is the population standard deviation = $ 1.2 million

n = random number samples = 100

Hence,

z = 3.5 - 32.6/1.2/√100

z = 3.5 - 32.6/1.2/10

z = 3.5 - 3.26/0.12

z =2

Probability value from Z-Table:

P(x<3.5) = 0.97725

P(x>3.5) = 1 - P(x<3.5)

P(x>3.5) = 1 - 0.97725

P(x > 3.5) = 0.02275

Approximately ≈ 0.02278

The approximate probability that the mean salary of the 100 players exceeded $3.5 million is 0.02278

A cold water pipe can fill a swimming pool in 4 hours

And a hot water pipe in 6 hours.

If cold water pipe is turned on and hot water pipe is turned on 3 hours later

6-4 = 2

2+3 = 5

5 answer

Answer:

0.6 of an hour

Step-by-step explanation:

A cold pipe takes 4h hours so we can assume ¼ of our job is done in one hour.

After 3 hours go by with the cold pipe on, we have ¼ of the job left.

Now we have our hot pipe, which takes 6 hours for the entire pool, so we can assume that it has a rate of ⅙ per hour. Now since these two pipes are working together we can add them.

⅙ + ¼ = ⁵/₁₂

Now we divide.

Since at the start 3 hours had gone by with the cold pipe that would have been ¾ of our time so, 1 - ¾ = ¼

¼ ÷ ⁵/₁₂ = ⅗ or 0.6 of an hour

Slope is the vertical drop or rise to the horizontal distance;

   Slope  = [tex]\frac{vertical interval}{horizontal distance}[/tex]  

 Let us convert 4 miles to feet;

         1 mile  = 5280ft

        4 miles  = 4 x 5280 = 21120ft

Slope  = [tex]\frac{1950 - 1000}{21120}[/tex]   = 0.05

The slope is 0.05

Answer:

The mid-point of AB is (5,6)

Step-by-step explanation:

The mid-point of two points lies between the middle of two points or divides the line in two equal parts.

The formula for finding mid-point, M, is:

[tex]M(x,y) = (\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2})[/tex]

Here (x1,y1) are the coordinates of first point and (x2,y2) are coordinates of second point.

Given

(2, 3) and (8,9)

Putting the values in the formula

[tex]M(x,y) =(\frac{2+8}{2} , \frac{3+9}{2})\\M = (\frac{10}{2}, \frac{12}{2})\\M = (5,6)[/tex]

Hence,

The mid-point of AB is (5,6)

The conjecture is that the unit digit of 4^n = 4 when n = odd also 4^n = 6 when n = even

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]4^1 = 4\\4^2 = 16\\4^3 = 64\\4^4 = 256 \\4^5 = 1024\\4^6 = 4096\\4^7 = 16384\\4^8 = 65536[/tex]

The conjecture is that the unit digit of 4^n = 4 when n = odd also 4^n = 6 when n = even

To prove this conjecture

[tex]4^1 = 4\\4^2 = 16[/tex] unit digit = 6

hence the property is true for ; n = 1 and n = 2 and also for every odd and even number ( i.e. from 1  to 8 )

Answer:

84.9 cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

Height of the bigger Cylinder = 5 cm

Volume of the bigger Cylinder = 393 cm³

Height of the smaller cylinder = 3 cm

Volume of the smaller cylinder = x cm³

Since they are similar, therefore: the cube of their ratio would equal the ratio of their volume.

Thus:

[tex] (\frac{5}{3})^3 = \frac{393}{x} [/tex]

[tex] \frac{125}{27} = \frac{393}{x} [/tex]

Cross multiply

[tex] 125*x = 393*27 [/tex]

[tex] 125x = 10,611 [/tex]

Divide both sides by 125

[tex] \frac{125x}{125} = \frac{10,611}{125} [/tex]

[tex] x = 84.888 [/tex]

Volume of the smaller cylinder = 84.9 cm³ (to nearest tenth?
