Answer:

Option A

Step-by-step explanation:

A type I error is committed when a researcher rejects the null hypothesis when it is actually true.

The null hypothesis is: U <= 50%

The alternative is: U > 50%

Thus, the principal could have committed an error by rejecting null hypothesis and concluding that more than 50% of students want earlier lunch, when in actuality 50% or less want earlier lunch.

Suppose two different methods are available for eye surgery. The probability that the eye has not recovered in a month is 0.002

Answer:

0.4007

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's define the following events:

A: method A is used

B: method B is used

NR: the eye has not recovered in a month

R: the eye is recovered in a month

The probability that the eye has not recovered in a month is 0.002 if method A is used, i.e., P(NR|A) = 0.002, so P(R|A) = 0.998.

When method B is used, the probability that the eye has not recovered in a month is 0.005, i.e., P(NR|B) = 0.005, so P(R|B) = 0.995.

40% of eye surgeries are done with method A, i.e., P(A) = 0.4

60% of eye surgeries are done with method B, i.e., P(B) = 0.6

If an eye is recovered in a month after surgery is done in the hospital, what is the probability that method A was performed? We are looking for P(A|R), then, by Bayes' Formula

P(A|R) = P(R|A)P(A)/(P(R|A)P(A) + P(R|B)P(B)) = 0.998*0.4/(0.998*0.4 + 0.995*0.6) = 0.4007

At eagle bay it cost $12 per hour to rent a Canoe Nate and his friends rented a canoe for 4 hours and paid $68. Write and solve

stich3 [128]

The cost to rent the canoe for 7 hours is $ 104

Solution:

At eagle bay it cost $12 per hour to rent a Canoe

Nate and his friends rented a canoe for 4 hours and paid $68

Let "x" be the number of hours rented

We can solve use the point slope equation

$y-y_1 = m(x-x_1)$
