Tumbleweed, commonly found in the western United States, is the dried structure of certain plants that are blown by the wind. Kochia, a type of plant that turns into tumbleweed at the end of the summer, is a problem for farmers because it takes nutrients away from soil that would otherwise go to more beneficial plants. Scientists are concerned that kochia plants are becoming resistant to the most commonly used herbicide, glyphosate. In 2014 , 19. 7% of 61 randomly selected kochia plants were resistant to glyphosate. In 2017 , 38. 5% of 52 randomly selected kochia plants were resistant to glyphosate. Do the data provide convincing statistical evidence, at the level of α=0. 05 that there has been an increase in the proportion of all kochia plants that are resistant to glyphosate

Answers

Answer 1

Using the z-distribution, it is found that the data provides convincing evidence that the proportion has increased.

What are the hypotheses tested?

At the null hypotheses, it is tested if the proportion has not increased, that is, the difference of the 2017 proportion and the 2014 proportions is not positive, hence:

[tex]H_0: p_2 - p_1 \leq 0[/tex]

At the alternative hypothesis, it is tested if the proportion has increased, hence:

[tex]H_1: p_2 - p_1 > 0[/tex]

What are the mean and the standard error for the distribution of differences?

For each sample, they are given by:

[tex]p_1 = 0.197, s_1 = \sqrt{\frac{0.197(0.803)}{61}} = 0.0509[/tex]

[tex]p_2 = 0.383, s_2 = \sqrt{\frac{0.385(0.615)}{52}} = 0.0675[/tex]

Hence, for the distribution of differences, they are given by:

[tex]\overline{p} = p_2 - p_1 = 0.383 - 0.197 = 0.186[/tex]

[tex]s = \sqrt{s_1^2 + s_2^2} = \sqrt{0.0509^2 + 0.0675^2} = 0.0845[/tex]

What is the test statistic?

It is given by:

[tex]z = \frac{\overline{p} - p}{s}[/tex]

In which p = 0 is the value tested at the null hypothesis.

Hence:

[tex]z = \frac{\overline{p} - p}{s}[/tex]

[tex]z = \frac{0.186 - 0}{0.0845}[/tex]

z = 2.2

What is the decision?

Considering a right-tailed test, as we are testing if the proportion is higher than a value, the critical value at the 0.05 significance level is [tex]z^{\ast} = 1.645[/tex].

Since the test statistic is greater than the critical value for the left tailed test, the data provides convincing evidence that the proportion has increased.

A) x = 2.5

B) x = 7/3

Step-by-step explanation:

A) 4x - 1/2 = x + 7

4x - x = 7 + 1/2

3x = 7.5

x = 7.5/3

x = 2.5

B) 3x + 2 = 2x + 13/3

x +2 = 13/3

Take the arc tangent,

[tex]2x = 56.3[/tex]

[tex]x = 28.15[/tex]

b.

[tex](3 \cos(x) + 1)(2 \cos(x) + 3) = - 2[/tex]

[tex]6 \cos {}^{2} (x) + 11 \cos(x) + 3 = - 2[/tex]

[tex]6 \cos {}^{2} (x) + 11 \cos(x) + 5 = 0[/tex]

[tex]6 \cos {}^{2} (x) + 6 \cos(x) + 5 \cos(x) + 5 = 0[/tex]

[tex]6 \cos(x) ( \cos(x) + 1) + 5( \cos(x) + 1) = 0[/tex]

[tex](6 \cos(x) + 5)( \cos(x) + 1) = 0[/tex]

Set each factor equal to zero.

[tex]6 \cos(x) + 5 = 0[/tex]

[tex]6 \cos(x) = - 5[/tex]

[tex] \cos(x) = - \frac{5}{6} [/tex]

[tex]x = \cos {}^{ - 1} ( \frac{5}{6} ) [/tex]

[tex]x = 146.4[/tex]

For the second factor,

[tex] \cos(x) + 1 = 0[/tex]

[tex] \cos(x) = - 1[/tex]

[tex]x = 180[/tex]

So the answer for the second one is

146.4 and 180.

Shannon mistakenly mixed up angles A and B. Notice the side 9 is opposite angle B and not angle A.

She should replace every copy of uppercase A with uppercase B. Also, she should replace lowercase 'a' with lowercase b

This is what her steps should look like

[tex]\frac{\sin B}{b} = \frac{\sin C}{c}\\\\\frac{\sin B}{9} = \frac{\sin 125^{\circ}}{12}\\\\B= \sin^{-1}\left(\frac{9*\sin 125^{\circ}}{12}\right) \approx 37.9^{\circ}\\\\[/tex]

Then we can find angle A like this

[tex]A+B+C = 180\\\\A = 180 - B - C\\\\A \approx 180 - 37.9 - 125\\\\A \approx 17.1^{\circ}\\\\[/tex]

Angle A is approximately 17.1 degrees.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation: y = 20x

y = # of gallons

x = minutes

6.

So, you substitute (0, 1, 2, 3 and 4 minutes) for x, to find the number of gallons:

x = 0 mins:

y = 20x

y = 20(0)

y = 0 gallons

(0, 0)

x = 1 min.

y = 20x

y = 20(1)

y = 20 gallons

(1, 20)

x = 2 mins.

y = 20x

y = 20(2)

y = 40 gallons

(2, 40)

x = 3 mins.

y = 20x

y = 20(3)

y = 60 gallons

(3, 60)

x = 4 mins.

y = 20x

y = 20(4)

y = 80 gallons

(4, 80)

7. View the attached graph

8. Predict the amount of water in the tank after 6 mins.

We use the same equation, y = 20x for this question

y = 20x

y = 20(6)

y = 120 gallons

(6, 120)

8. Linear ==> straight line

   Non-linear ==> anything other than a straight line (curved line)

As you can see from my attached graph, the relationship between x and y and linear, because the graph has a straight line.

Answers

1564 = .92x

1564 / .92. = x

1700 = x

The total number of people attending the game is 1700.

What is Percentage?

Percentage in simple terms can be defined as a part per 100.

Percentage is a ratio or number which has to be defined as a fraction of 100.It is denoted by %.

If we are asked to calculate the percent of a number simply divide it by the whole part or number and then multiply with 100.

Percent of people supporting the home team = 92%

Number of people supporting the home team = 1564

Let x be the total number of people attending the game.

⇒ [tex]\frac{1564}{x}[/tex] × 100 = 92

⇒ [tex]\frac{1564}{x}[/tex] = 0.92

⇒ x = [tex]\frac{1564}{0.92}[/tex]

⇒ x = 1700

Hence, the total number of people attending the game will be 1700.

Answers

Answer:

A. 840 miles

B. 14 miles per gallon

Step-by-step explanation:

A. 14 mi. per gal. x 60 = 840 miles

B. 350 mi./25 gal. = 14 miles per gallon

hope this helps :)

1. The truck can travel 840 miles on 60 gallons of gas.

2. The truck's gas mileage is 14 miles per gallon.

What is Proportion?

Proportion refers to the relationship or comparison between two quantities or parts of a whole. It is often expressed as a ratio or a fraction. In mathematics, a proportion states that two ratios or fractions are equal.

a)  We have, 25 gallons of gas corresponds to 350 miles.

Let's set up the proportion:

25/350 = 60/x

25x = 350 (60)

25x = 21,000

x = 21,000 / 25

x = 840

Therefore, the truck can travel 840 miles on 60 gallons of gas.

b) The truck can travel 350 miles on 25 gallons of gas.

Gas mileage = Distance / Gas consumed

Gas mileage = 350 miles / 25 gallons

Gas mileage = 14 miles per gallon

Therefore, the truck's gas mileage is 14 miles per gallon.
