A seed randomly blows around a complex habitat. It may land on any of three different soil types: a high-quality soil that gives a 0.8 chance of seed survival, a medium-quality soil that gives a 0.3 chance of survival, and a low-quality soil that gives only a 0.1 chance of survival. These three soil types (high, medium, and low) are present in the habitat in proportions of 30:20:50, respectively. The probability that a seed lands on a particular soil type is proportional to the frequency of that type in the habitat.
a. Draw a probability tree to determine the probabilities of survival under all possible circumstances.b. What is the probability of survival of the seed, assuming that it lands?
Answers
Answer:
a) Attached.
b) Probabiltiy of survival = 0.35
Step-by-step explanation:
a) The probability tree is attached as a picture.
This is constructed with the two events (landing and survival), with their associated probabilities.
The events are dependant, as the probability of survival depends on the outcome of the first event (the soil where the seed landed).
b) The probability of survival can be calculated as the sum of the probabilities that include the event "survives":
[tex]P(s)=P(H\&s)+P(M\&s)+P(L\&s)\\\\P(s)=P(H)P(s|H)+P(M)P(s|M)+P(L)P(s|L)\\\\P(s)=0.3*0.8+0.2*0.3+0.5*0.1\\\\P(s)=0.24+0.06+0.05\\\\P(s)=0.35[/tex]
The first line adds the three joint events that end with survival (land on high quality soil H and survive S, for example).
The second line splits the probability but the survival is conditioned to the soil where the seed has landed. That is why it is a conditional probability.

Carpetland carpet installers incur an average cost of $300 for each carpet installed. Joan Chin, the firm’s vice president, proposes a new procedure for installations, which she hopes will be more efficient. Joan plans to run a trial and hopes that the results of a trial period will enable her to conclude with a level of significance of 0.05 that the new procedure reduces the average cost to install a carpet. If Joan's hypothesis test results in a Type II error, what would this mean?
Answers
Answer:
A Type II error happens when the null hypothesis failed to be rejected, although it is false and the alternative hypothesis is true.
In this context, would be that the test does not give enough evidence to support the claim that the new procedure reduces the average cost, although it really does reduces it.
The new procedure is effective, but the sample does not give enough evidence.

( i am a parent and trying to help my I.E.P 6th grade son, for work since school is shutdown for virus...cant remember alot of the stuff) please help!!
Answers
Answer:
1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
This can be done several ways. Perhaps the easiest is to use the decimal equivalents:
(2 3/4)/(5 1/2) = 2.75/5.5 = 0.5
__
If you want to use the numbers given, the usual procedure is to convert them to improper fractions and do the division that way:
2 3/4 = (4·2 +3)/4 = 11/4
5 1/2 = (2·5 +1)/2 = 11/2
Now, the problem can be written as ...
(2 3/4) / (5 1/2) = (11/4) / (11/2)
This sort of division problem can be solved two ways:
invert and multiply (the denominator is inverted)
= (11/4) × (2/11) = (11·2)/(11·4) = 2/4 = 1/2
use a common denominator (for the two fractions)
= (11/4) / (11/2) = (11/4) / (22/4) = 11/22 = 1/2
The quotient is 1/2.

Additional comments
It is helpful in many cases to just use decimal equivalents for the calculation. To do that, you need to be familiar with the equivalents of commonly used fractions. I find it is usually sufficient to know the unit fractions in each case. Then you can multiply or add to find the others.
1/9 = 0.1...(1-digit repeat), 1/8 = 0.125, 1/7 = 0.142857...(6-digit repeat), 1/6 = 0.16...(1-digit repeat), 1/5 = 0.2, 1/4 = 0.25, 1/3 = 0.3...(1-digit repeat), 1/2 = 0.5
__
I learned the "invert and multiply" method for dividing fractions when I was in school. The Common Core math apparently also teaches the method of matching the denominators of a compound fraction. Then the result is the ratio of numerators. (A variation not taught is that you can match the numerators and use the inverse of the ratio of denominators. Both of these methods can be validated using the "invert and multiply" method. (11/4)/(11/2) = 2/4)
"Invert and multiply" is another way of saying that division is the same as multiplication by the reciprocal. This applies everywhere, not just in fraction problems.

Answers
Answer:
4 square units
Step-by-step explanation:
If corresponding sides have equal lengths, the triangles are congruent by the SSS postulate. They must have equal areas: 4 square units.
ΔDEF has an area of 4 square units.
Answer:
if the corresponding sides are equal the 2 triangles are congruent ( by SSS) so their areas are the same.

To measure the height of the cloud cover at an airport, a worker shines a spotlight upward at an angle 75° from the horizontal. an observer at a distance d = 560 m away measures the angle of elevation to the spot of light to be 45°. find the height h of the cloud cover,
Answers
Answer:
The height of the cloud cover is 441.66 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
Distance = 560 m
The height of the cloud cover = h meters
According to the diagram, the worker stands at point R,
Let RT = x
tan 45⁰ = [tex]\frac{opposite}{adjacent}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{h}{x}[/tex]
therefore, 1 = [tex]\frac{h}{x}[/tex], h = x
Then tan 75⁰ = [tex]\frac{h}{560-x}[/tex], substituting x = h, we have
3.732 = [tex]\frac{h}{560-h}[/tex]
3.732(560 - h) = h
3.732 × 560 = 3.732h + h
2089.92 = 4.732h
h = 441.66 m
The height of the cloud cover is 228.62 meters
The given parameters are:
[tex]\mathbf{\alpha = 75^o}[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{\theta = 45^o}[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{d = 560m}[/tex]
See attachment for the image of the cloud cover.
From the attached image, we have the following sine ratios:
[tex]\mathbf{sin(75) = \frac hx}[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{sin(45) = \frac h{560 - x}}[/tex]
Make h the subject in both equations
[tex]\mathbf{ h = xsin(75)}[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{ h = (560 - x) sin(45)}[/tex]
So, we have:
[tex]\mathbf{ xsin(75) = (560 - x) sin(45)}[/tex]
Open brackets
[tex]\mathbf{ xsin(75) = 560sin(45) - x sin(45)}[/tex]
Collect like terms
[tex]\mathbf{ xsin(75) + x sin(45)= 560sin(45) }[/tex]
Evaluate sine 45 and 75
[tex]\mathbf{ 0.9659x + 0.7071x= 560 \times 0.7071}[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{ 1.673x= 395.976}[/tex]
Divide both sides by 1.673
[tex]\mathbf{ x= 236.69}[/tex]
Recall that:
[tex]\mathbf{ h = xsin(75)}[/tex]
So, we have:
[tex]\mathbf{h = 236.69 \times 0.9659}[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{h = 228.618871}[/tex]
Approximate
[tex]\mathbf{h = 228.62}[/tex]
Hence, the height of the cloud cover is 228.62 meters

Since 6 spaces = 2/5, the value of 1 space is 1/6 of 2/5. We must multiply 2/5 by 1/6 to find the value of 1 space:
1 space = (2/5)(1/6) = 2/30 = 1/15
This is the number that goes in the second box.

To find the value of x, count all the spaces. There are 13, so the value of x is 13 times the value of 1 space:

Ms Davis is doing an activity with her statistic students where she gives them a 20 question multiple top choice test and they know none of the answers. Students need to guess on every question and each question has 5 possible choices, 1 of the which is correct.
What is the mean and standard deviation of the number of questions that each student gets correct?
Answers
Answer:
The mean and standard deviation of the number of questions that each student gets correct are 4 and 1.789 respectively.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the random variable X be defined as the number of correct answers marked by a student.
It is provided that each question has 5 possible choices, 1 of the which is correct.
Then the probability of marking thee correct option is:
[tex]P(X)=\frac{1}{5}=0.20[/tex]
There are a total of n = 20 questions to be answered.
As the students does not the answer to any question, they would be guessing for each question. This implies that for a random question, all the five options has the equal probability of being correct and each of the five options can be correct independently from the other.
All these information above indicates that the random variable X follows a Binomial distribution with parameters n = 20 and p = 0.20.
The mean and standard deviation of a Binomial distribution are:
[tex]\mu=np\\\\\sigma=\sqrt{np(1-p)}[/tex]
Compute the mean and standard deviation of the random variable X as follows:
[tex]\mu=np=20\times 0.20=4\\\\\sigma=\sqrt{np(1-p)}=\sqrt{20\times 0.20\times(1-0.20)}=1.789[/tex]
Thus, the mean and standard deviation of the number of questions that each student gets correct are 4 and 1.789 respectively.
According to the question,
The probability of making 3 correct options will be:
→ [tex]P(X) = \frac{1}{5}[/tex]
[tex]= 0.20[/tex]
Total number of questions,
n = 20As we know,
The mean will be:
→ [tex]\mu = np[/tex]
By substituting the values, we get
[tex]= 20\times 0.20[/tex]
[tex]= 4[/tex]
and,
The standard deviation will be:
→ [tex]\sigma = \sqrt{np(1-p)}[/tex]
[tex]= \sqrt{20\times 0.20\times (1-0.20)}[/tex]
[tex]= 1.789[/tex]

Gibbs Baby Food Company wishes to compare the weight gain of infants using its brand versus its competitor’s. A sample of 40 babies using the Gibbs products revealed a mean weight gain of 7.6 pounds in the first three months after birth. For the Gibbs brand, the population standard deviation of the sample is 2.3 pounds. A sample of 55 babies using the competitor’s brand revealed a mean increase in weight of 8.1 pounds. The population standard deviation is 2.9 pounds. At the .05 significance level, can we con- clude that babies using the Gibbs brand gained less weight? Compute the p-value and interpret it.
Answers
Answer:
[tex]z=\frac{(7.6-8.1)-0}{\sqrt{\frac{2.3^2}{40}+\frac{2.9^2}{55}}}}=-0.936[/tex]
The p value can be founded with this formula:
[tex]p_v =P(z<-0.936)=0.175[/tex]
Since the p value is higher than the significance level provided of 0.05 we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis and we can't conclude that the true mean for the Gibbs brand is significantly lower than the true mean for the competitor
Step-by-step explanation:
Information given
[tex]\bar X_{1}=7.6[/tex] represent the mean for Gibbs products
[tex]\bar X_{2}=8.1[/tex] represent the mean for the competitor
[tex]\sigma_{1}=2.3[/tex] represent the population standard deviation for Gibbs
[tex]\sigma_{2}=2.9[/tex] represent the sample standard deviation for the competitor
[tex]n_{1}=40[/tex] sample size for the group Gibbs
[tex]n_{2}=55[/tex] sample size for the group competitor
[tex]\alpha=0.05[/tex] Significance level provided
z would represent the statistic
Hypothesis to verify
We want to check if babies using the Gibbs brand gained less weight, the system of hypothesis would be:
Null hypothesis:[tex]\mu_{1}-\mu_{2}=0[/tex]
Alternative hypothesis:[tex]\mu_{1} - \mu_{2}< 0[/tex]
The statistic would be given by:
[tex]z=\frac{(\bar X_{1}-\bar X_{2})-\Delta}{\sqrt{\frac{\sigma^2_{1}}{n_{1}}+\frac{\sigma^2_{2}}{n_{2}}}}[/tex] (1)
Replacing the info given we got:
[tex]z=\frac{(7.6-8.1)-0}{\sqrt{\frac{2.3^2}{40}+\frac{2.9^2}{55}}}}=-0.936[/tex]
The p value can be founded with this formula:
[tex]p_v =P(z<-0.936)=0.175[/tex]
Since the p value is higher than the significance level provided of 0.05 we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis and we can't conclude that the true mean for the Gibbs brand is significantly lower than the true mean for the competitor
