A genetic experiment with peas resulted in one sample of offspring that consisted of 414 green peas and 154 yellow peas. a. Construct a 95% confidence interval to estimate of the percentage of yellow peas. b. It was expected that 25% of the offspring peas would be yellow. Given that the percentage of offspring yellow peas is not 25%, do the results contradict expectations? a. Construct a 95% confidence interval. Express the percentages in decimal form. nothingless thanpless than nothing (Round to three decimal places as needed.) b. Given that the percentage of offspring yellow peas is not 25%, do the results contradict expectations? No, the confidence interval includes 0.25, so the true percentage could easily equal 25% Yes, the confidence interval does not include 0.25, so the true percentage could not equal 25%

a. The interval in percentage is (23.46% , 30.76%)

b. No

Step-by-step explanation: To determine the confidence interval of a proportion, first find the percentage of yellow in that population:

phat =

phat = 0.2711

The level α is 95%

1 - α = 0.05

α/2 = 0.025

As the population is bigger than 30, use z-test.

According to the table, z-score for α/2 = 0.025 is z = 1.96

The error for the interval is:

E = z.

E = 1.96.

E = 1.96*0.01865

E = 0.0365

The lower and higher limits of the interval are:

phat - E = 0.2711 - 0.0365 = 23.46%

phat + E = 0.2711 + 0.0365 = 30.76%

In conclusion, the 95% confidence interval to estimate the percentage of yellow is (23.46%,30.76%)

b. No, because 25% is inside the interval meaning that it doesn't contradict the expectations.

part a

answer: a reasonable domain is where n is a real number. so n can be between 0 and 10. both endpoints are included.

work shown:

n is the number of days after the experiment starts. the smallest n can be is n = 0 which means that 0 days have gone by, and we're at the start. to find out how large n should be, then replace f(n) with 16.13 and solve for n. use logarithms to isolate the exponent.

f(n) = 12*(1.03)^n

16.13 = 12*(1.03)^n

16.13/12 = (1.03)^n

1.34416666666667 = (1.03)^n

(1.03)^n = 1.34416666666667

log[ (1.03)^n ] = log[ 1.34416666666667 ]

n*log[ 1.03 ] = log[ 1.34416666666667 ]

n = log[ 1.34416666666667 ]/log[ 1.03 ]

n = 10.0062999823929

this rounds to n = 10 which is fairly close but not 100% perfect. so this is the largest n can be.

note: if you plug n = 10 into f(n), you'll get roughly 16.127 which rounds to 16.13 (this comes up again in part c)

=====================================

part b

answer: the y intercept is 12. it represents the starting height of the plant in cm.

work shown:

plug n = 0 into the f(n) function. simplify

f(n) = 12*(1.03)^n

f(0) = 12*(1.03)^0

f(0) = 12*(1)

f(0) = 12

on day n = 0, aka the starting point, the height f(n) is 12 cm

=====================================

part c

answer: the average rate of change is approximately 0.43061036458991 (round however you need to). this represents the average growth rate from day n = 3 to day n = 10. so the plant grew roughly 0.43 cm per day during this timespan, assuming you round to 2 decimal places.

work shown:

compute f(3)

f(n) = 12*(1.03)^n

f(3) = 12*(1.03)^3

f(3) = 13.112724 < we'll use this later

compute f(10)

f(n) = 12*(1.03)^n

f(10) = 12*(1.03)^10

f(10) = 16.1269965521294 < we'll use this later

now use the formula below with a = 3 and b = 10

aroc = average rate of change

aroc = [ f(b) - f(a) ]/[ b - a ]

aroc = [ f(10) - f(3) ]/[ 10 - 3 ]

aroc = (16.1269965521294 - 13.112724)/(10 - 3)

aroc = 3.0142725521294/7

aroc = 0.43061036458991

round this however you need to

note: the plant grew approximately 3.01 cm over 7 days, so roughly 0.43 cm per day is the average growth rate (if you were to round to 2 decimal places).

la parábola es el lugar

geométrico en el cual los puntos tienen una distancia idéntica, equidistantes,

de un punto denominado foco, f, y una recta denominada directriz

el radio vector de una

parábola es el segmento que existe entre un punto cualquiera y el foco.

por la ecuación se observa

que la parábola abre hacia la derecha, por lo cual podemos usar las siguientes fórmulas

la ecuación ordinaria de la

parábola es y^2 = 4px, donde p es la longitud desde el vértice de la parábola al

foco.

la fórmula de la directriz

es x + p = 0

resolviendo:

y^2-9x = 0

y^2 = 9x

4p = 9, entonces p = 9/4

entonces el foco tendrá la

coordenada f(9/4,0)

la directriz vendrá

expresada por

x + p = 0

x = -p

x = -9/4

el problema indica que la

ordenada es igual a 6, entonces

(6)^2=9x

x = 36/9

x = 4

entonces el punto al cual

hay que obtener la distancia será p(4,6)

calculando se tendrá: pf = 

pf = 6,25 u
