A local grocery store tested spinach samples for E coli bacteria using two different tests. The first test has a 94% probability

of giving accurate results, while the second test is accurate 89% of the time. A sample that contains E coli bacteria is tested. The probability that both tests detect the bacteria is

Answer:

The probability that both tests detect the bacteria is  83.66% ....

Step-by-step explanation:

First test has a probability of giving accurate results = 94% = 0.94

Second test has a probability of giving accurate results = 89% = 0.89

The probability that both tests detect the bacteria is:

Multiply both the probabilities:

=0.94*0.89

= 0.8366

Converting the value into percentage, we get

0.8366*100

= 83.66%

Thus the probability that both tests detect the bacteria is  83.66% ....

Trava [24]
Given:
5 bonds of face value of 1,000 that paid 5% annual interest rate.

5 bonds x 1,000 = 5,000
5,000 x 5% x 1 year = 250

The total annual interest income of James is 250. Each bond earns 50 per annum.

5.44 Teaching descriptive statistics: A study compared five different methods for teaching descriptive statistics. The five meth
maria [59]

Answer:

The null hypothesis is that all the different teaching methods have the same average test scores.

H0: μ1 = μ2 = μ3 = μ4 = μ5

The alternative hypothesis is that at least one of the teaching methods have a different mean.

Ha: at least one mean is different. (μ1 ≠ μi)

Step-by-step explanation:

The null hypothesis (H0) tries to show that no significant variation exists between variables or that a single variable is no different than its mean. While an alternative Hypothesis (Ha) attempt to prove that a new theory is true rather than the old one. That a variable is significantly different from the mean.

For the case above, let μ represent the average test scores for the teaching methods:

The null hypothesis is that all the different teaching methods have the same average test scores.

H0: μ1 = μ2 = μ3 = μ4 = μ5

The alternative hypothesis is that at least one of the teaching methods have a different mean.

Ha: at least one mean is different. (μ1 ≠ μi)

On a rectangular soccer field, Sang is standing on the goal line 20 yards from the corner post. Jazmin is standing 99 yards from
Anna007 [38]
Okay, so Sang is standing 20 yards away from one corner, and Jazmin is standing 99 yards away from the same corner. If this is a rectangle (I like visuals, so I'll use them to explain), then:
               
                    99ft
      A  -------------------------  B
         |                              |
20 ft  |                              |
         |                              |
    C   --------------------------  D

The question is asking you to solve for the diagonal line between points C and B. If you imagine a line there, you actually have the rectangle split into two triangles. So if you have triangle ABC, side CB would be the longest line, or the hypotenuse. That means you can use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve the problem.

A^2 + B^2 = C^2
99^2 + 20^2 = C^2
9,801 + 400 = C^2
10,201 = C^2

Now you solve for the square root of 10,201 to get C.

sqr (10,201) = C
C = 101 yards

If X is a normal random variable with parameters µ = 10 and σ 2 = 36, compute
alex41 [277]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that X is a normal random variable with parameters µ = 10 and σ 2 = 36,

X is N(10, 6)

Or z = \frac{x-10}{6}

is N(0,1)

a)  P(X > 5),

=P(Z>-0.8333)\\=0.7977

(b) P(4 < X < 16),

=P(|z|

(c) P(X < 8),

=P(Z

(d) P(X < 20),

=P(Z

(e) P(X > 16).

=P(Z>-0.6667)

= 0.2524
