Aging workers of the Neotropical termite, Neocapritermes taracua, develop blue crystal containing glands ("backpacks") on their backs, When they fight intruding termites and are hampered, these "blue" termites explode, and the glands spew a sticky liquid (Sobotnik et al. 2012). The following data are from an experiment that measured the toxicity of the blue substance. A single drop of the liquid extracted from blue termites was placed on individuals of a second termite species, Labiotermes labralis, and the number that were immobilized (dead or paralyzed) within 60 minutes was recorded. The frequency of this outcome was compared with a control treatment in which liquid from glands of "white" termites lacking the blue crystals was dropped instead.
Is the blue liquid toxic compared to liquid from white termites?
Liquid source Unharmed Immobilized
Blue workers 3 37
White workers 31 9

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The blue liquid is toxic

Step-by-step explanation:

From the calculations I have done and attached to this problem

Null hypothesis:

H0 : p1 <= p2

Alternate hypothesis:

H1 : p1 > p2

^p1 = 0.925

^p2 = 0.2250

^P = (x1 + x2)/(n1+n2)

= 0.575

After calculating, I got test statistics = 6.33 ( check attachment)

P(z > 6.33) = 0.0000

In conclusion, our pvalue has been found to be less than the level of significance 0.05 so we reject null hypothesis and accept that we have enough sample evidence that the blue liquid is more toxic in comparison to white one.

Please check attachment for calculated test statistics.

A line has a slope of 9 what is the slope of a line it is perpendicular to this line? *

9
-9
1/9
-1/9

Answers

Answer: -1/9

Explanation: Perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes.

A negative reciprocal slope is a fancy way of

saying flip the fraction and change the sign.

Notice that our slope is an integer.

We can turn it into a fraction by putting it over 1.

So we have 9/1.

A line perpendicular to this would be a negative reciprocal.

So flip the fraction, giving us 1/9, and change the sign to get -1/9.

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first , second and third uploaded image

Answer:

A

 The correct option is A

B

  The correct option is H

Step-by-step explanation:

The null hypothesis is  [tex]H_o  :  \mu_1 - \mu_2 =  6[/tex]

The alternative  hypothesis is  [tex]H_a  :  \mu_1 - \mu_2 \ne  6[/tex]      

The population mean difference is  [tex]\mu_d  =  6[/tex]

Generally the sample size is  n =  15      

Generally the sample mean for input temperature is mathematically represented as

      [tex]\= x _1  = \frac{\sum x_i }{n}[/tex]

=>    [tex]\= x _1  = \frac{57.6 + 68.9 + \cdots +60.4  }{15}[/tex]  

=>    [tex]\= x _1  = 62.57 [/tex]  

Generally the sample mean for output temperature is mathematically represented as

      [tex]\= x _2  = \frac{\sum x_i }{n}[/tex]

=>    [tex]\= x _2  = \frac{65.1+ 74.4 + \cdots +67.3 }{15}[/tex]  

=>    [tex]\= x _2  = 55.97 [/tex]  

Generally the sample mean difference is mathematically represented as

   [tex]\= d = 62.57 - 55.97[/tex]

=>[tex]d = 6.6[/tex]

Generally the standard deviation is mathematically represented as

       [tex]s_d  =  \sqrt{\frac{ \sum [d_1 - \= d]^2}{n-1} }[/tex]

=>    [tex]s_d  =  \sqrt{\frac{ [ [57.6 -65.1]- 6.6]^2 +[68.9 -74.4]- 6.6]^2+\cdots +   [60.4 -67.3]- 6.6]^2}{15-1} }[/tex]

=>     [tex]s_d  = 1.732 [/tex]

Generally the test statistics is mathematically represented as

      [tex]t =  \frac{6.6  - 6 }{\frac{1.732}{\sqrt{15} } }[/tex]

=>   [tex]t = 1.342 [/tex]

Generally the degree of freedom is mathematically represented as

    [tex]df  = n -  1[/tex]

So

      [tex]df  =  15  -  2[/tex]

=>    [tex]df  =  14[/tex]

Generally the p-value  is mathematically represented as

     [tex]p-value  = 2 *  P(t >  1.342 )[/tex]

Generally from the t -distribution table the probability of 1.342 at a degree of freedom of  [tex]df  =  28[/tex] is  

       [tex]P(t >  1.342 ) = 0.10047[/tex]

So

     [tex]p-value  = 2 * 0.10047[/tex]

=>   [tex]p-value  = 0.201[/tex]

Generally from the value  obtained we see that [tex]p-value  > \alpha[/tex] Hence

The  decision rule is

The conclusion is

Xavier is solving a problem on the whiteboard as shown.
Part A. Is Xavier's solution correct? If not, identify where he made an error.
Part B. Solve 7950 divided by 25.

Answers

Let us see how we can solve this step by step each :

6417 ÷ 31 , we divide 64 by 31 and get the resulting quotient as 2 .

Then we bring down 1 . So , the number below is 21 , which cannot be divided by 31 .

So , we will have to bring down 7 for which we have to add a 0 to the quotient . Then the quotient will become 20 as of now .

As 217 is divisible by 3 , I put seven near 21 , making the quotient as 217 and get the remainder 0 .

Hence in the correct solution the correct quotient = 207 .

In Xavier's solution :

But the same thing has not been done in Xavier's solution as he has put a 0 after 7 instead of putting it before 7 . Hence , Xavier's mistake is that he put the 0 after 7 instead of putting it before 7 .

In Xavier's solution the quotient is = 270

Therefore , Xavier's mistake is that he put the 0 after 7 instead of putting it before 7 .

Water flows back and forth between a small and large tank. When water is moving into a tank the flow rate is

positive, and when water is moving from a tank the flow rate is negative. The large tank begins with 300 gallons of

water, and the small tank begins with 200 gallons of water. After a period of 5 minutes, the large tank has the same

amount of water as the small tank. Which statement describes the flow rate?

The flow rate of the large tank is 10 gal/min, and the flow rate of the small tank is -10 gal/min.

O The flow rate of the large tank is -10 gal/min, and the flow rate of the small tank is 10 gal/min.

The flow rate of the large tank is 20 gal/min, and the flow rate of the small tank is -20 gal/min.

The flow rate of the large tank is -20 gal/min, and the flow rate of the small tank is 20 gal/min.

Save and Exit

Answers

Answer:

D. The flow rate of the large tank is -20 gal/min, and the flow rate of the small tank is 20 gal/min.

Step-by-step explanation:

Flow rate = [tex]\frac{gallons of water}{minute}[/tex]

flow rate of water in the big tank = [tex]\frac{300}{5}[/tex]

                         = 60 gallons/minute

flow rate in the smaller tank = [tex]\frac{200}{5}[/tex]

                          = 40 gallons/minute

The difference in flow rate between the tanks = 60 - 40

                          = 20 gallons/minute

Since the two tanks have the same amount of water after the given time, then the volume of water in the large tank decrease; while the volume of water in the small tank increased.

Therefore, the flow rate of the large tank is -20 gal/min, and the flow rate of the small tank is 20 gal/min. This shows that option D is correct.

Simplify the complex fraction. 8/5 divide by 6 3/4 *

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]\frac{8}{5}[/tex]÷6[tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex]

First, simplify the 6[tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] to an improper fraction, which is:

[tex]\frac{27}{4}[/tex]

Next rewrite the equation using the improper fraction:

[tex]\frac{8}{5}[/tex]÷[tex]\frac{27}{4}[/tex]

Now, in order to divide the fraction, we will need to flip the second fraction over, and then multiply the two fractions together. A great way to remember this is the phrase Copy Dot Flip - Copy the first fraction, put a dot for multiplication, and flip the second fraction.

[tex]\frac{8}{5}[/tex]·[tex]\frac{4}{27}[/tex]

Finally, multiply together and simplify/reduce if needed:

The final answer is [tex]\frac{32}{135}[/tex] and no simplification or reduction is needed

Research shows that many banks are unwittingly training their online customers to take risks with their passwords and other sensitive account information, leaving them more vulnerable to fraud (Yahoo, July 23, 2008). Even web-savvy surfers could find themselves the victims of identity theft because they have been conditioned to ignore potential signs about whether the banking site they are visiting is real or a bogus site served up by hackers. Researchers at the University of Michigan found design flaws in 78% of the 214 U.S. financial institution websites they studied.

Answers

Answer:

Decision rule

Fail to reject the null  hypothesis

Conclusion

The sample evidence is not sufficient to conclude that more than three out of four financial institutions that offer online banking facilities are prone to fraud.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The sample size is  n =  214

   The sample proportion is p = 0.78

   The level of significance is [tex]\alpha = 0.05[/tex]

Generally the population proportion is mathematically represented as

      [tex]p = \frac{3}{4} =0.75[/tex] (gotten from the statement  ''three out of four'' in the question)

The null hypothesis is [tex]H_o : p = 0.75[/tex]

The alternative hypothesis [tex]H_a : p > 0.75[/tex]

Generally the test statistics is mathematically represented as

     [tex]z = \frac{\^{p} - p}{ \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n} } }[/tex]

=>    [tex]z = \frac{0.78- 0.75}{ \sqrt{\frac{ 0.75(1-0.75)}{214} } }[/tex]

=>  [tex]z = 1.01[/tex]

Generally the p-value is mathematically represented as

    [tex]p-value  = P(Z > z )[/tex]

=> [tex]p-value  = P(Z > 1.01 )[/tex]

From the z-table  

    [tex]P(Z > 1.01 ) = 0.15625[/tex]

So

    [tex]p-value  = 0.15625 [/tex]

From the obtained values we see that [tex]p-value > \alpha[/tex] hence we fail to reject the null hypothesis

 Therefore we can conclude that the sample evidence is  not  sufficient to conclude that more than three out of four financial institutions that offer online banking facilities are prone to fraud.

Determine if the sequence below is arithmetic or geometric and determine the common difference/ratio in simplest form
12,6,3

Answers

Answer:

The sequence is geometric

The common ratio is 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

In the arithmetic sequence, there is a common difference between each two consecutive terms

In the geometric sequence, there is a common ratio between each two consecutive terms

Let us check the given sequence

∵ The first 3 terms are 12, 6, 3

∵ 6 - 12 = -6

∵ 3 - 6 = -3

∵ There is no common difference between the consecutive terms

The sequence is not an arithmetic sequence

∵ 6 ÷ 12 = 0.5

∵ 3 ÷ 6 = 0.5

∴ There is a common ratio between each two consecutive terms

The sequence is a geometric sequence

The common ratio is 0.5

Given sequence is geometric sequence and common ratio between consecutive term is  [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] .

In Arithmetic sequence , common difference between consecutive terms should be equal.

In Geometric sequence, common ratio between consecutive terms should be equal.

Given sequence,     12, 6, 3, ...

  Since, common difference =  [tex]6-12\neq 3-6[/tex] , this is not arithmetic sequence.

Common ratio =     [tex]\frac{6}{12}=\frac{3}{6}=\frac{1}{2}[/tex]  Because common ratio is are equal. Thus, given sequence is geometric sequence.
