A genetic experiment with peas resulted in one sample of offspring that consisted of 438 green peas and 173 yellow peas.

Required:
a. Construct a 95â% confidence interval to estimate of the percentage of yellow peas.
b. It was expected thatâ 25% of the offspring peas would be yellow. Given that the percentage of offspring yellow peas is notâ 25%, do the results contradictâ expectations?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a

The 95% confidence interval is [tex] 0.2474 < p < 0.3188 [/tex]

b

  The result obtained does not contradict expectation

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The number of green peas is  k =  438

   The number of yellow peas is u =  173

Generally the sample size is mathematically represented as

       [tex]n = k + u[/tex]

=>    [tex]n = 438 + 173[/tex]

=>    [tex]n = 611[/tex]

Generally the sample proportion for yellow peas is

      [tex]\^ p = \frac{u}{n}[/tex]

=>   [tex]\^ p = \frac{173}{611 }[/tex]

=>   [tex]\^ p = 0.2831[/tex]

From the question we are told the confidence level is  95% , hence the level of significance is    

      [tex]\alpha = (100 - 95 ) \%[/tex]

=>   [tex]\alpha = 0.05[/tex]

Generally from the normal distribution table the critical value  of  [tex]\frac{\alpha }{2}[/tex] is  

   [tex]Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } =  1.96[/tex]

Generally the margin of error is mathematically represented as  

     [tex]E =  Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } * \sqrt{\frac{\^ p (1- \^ p)}{n} } [/tex]

=>  [tex]E =  1.96 * \sqrt{\frac{ 0.2831 (1- 0.2831)}{611} } [/tex]

=>  [tex]E =  0.0357 [/tex]

Generally 95% confidence interval is mathematically represented as  

      [tex]\^ p -E <  p <  \^ p +E[/tex]

=>     [tex] 0.2831  -0.0357 <p< 0.2831  + 0.0357[/tex]

=>     [tex] 0.2474 < p < 0.3188 [/tex]

From the question we are told that it was expected that 25% of the offspring peas will be yellow

   Now from the 95% confidence interval obtained we see that the expected sample proportion(25% ) falls within it so  it means that the result obtained does not contradict expectation

Bella wants to create a tea-mix. She can buy Asian Treasure tea for $7.50 per ounce and Paradise tea for $5.00 per ounce. If she wants to make 60 ounces of tea-mix at a cost of $6.00 per ounce, how many ounces of Asian Treasure tea and how many ounces of Paradise tea should she buy?

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

24 oz Asian Treasure36 oz Paradise

Step-by-step explanation:

The proportion of Asian Treasure is the difference in price of the mix and Paradise tea, divided by the difference in price of Asian Treasure and Paradise tea. So the amount of Asian Treasure is ...

  (6.00 -5.00)/(7.50 -5.00)(60 ounces) = 24 ounces . . . Asian Treasure tea

The remaining 60-24 = 36 ounces will be Paradise tea.

__

Using an equation

You can get the same result if you define a variable (a) to the amount in ounces of the higher-priced contributor. Then the lower-priced contributor will be in the amount (60-a) ounces. The total cost of the mix is ...

  7.50a +5.00(60 -a) = 60(6.00)

  (7.50 -5.00)a +60(5.00) = 60(6.00) . . . rearrange the left side

  (7.50 -5.00)a = 60(6.00 - 5.00) . . . . . .  subtract 60(5.00)

  a = 60(6.00 -5.00)/(7.50 -5.00) . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of 'a'

Note that this last expression is identical to the one we used above to find the quantity of Asian Treasure tea.
