Researchers studied a population of 61 carrier pigeons for one year to measurethe effects of air pollution, from a newly constructed factory, on populationgrowth. In the first three months 130 eggs were laid. Thinner shells are suspectedto have been a result of exposures to toxins in the air, and 50 eggs broke. Of theremaining eggs 58 hatched successfully and lived. However, 28 baby pigeonsdied from severe birth defects. During the next 7 months, 17 birds died as adirect exposure to the polluted air and 20 emigrated to a neighbouring rural area.In the remaining months of the year, 10 migrated into the area. Select the mostaccurate conclusion from this information: *The percentage of population growth was +5% , and this is an example of an openpopulation.The percentage of population growth was -5% , and this is an example of a closedpopulation.The percentage of population growth was -5% , and this is an example of an openpopulation.The percentage of population growth was +5% , and this is an example of a closedpopulation. Some scientists are trying to estimate the population of yellow birch trees in amunicipal park. Setting up a 100m^2 quadrat. Within this quadrat, the scientistscount 5 trees. Given that the area of the park is 1.32km^2 they estimate the totalpopulation of yellow birch trees to be: (Round your answer to the nearest tree). *400 trees39600 trees396 trees24 800 trees

The bacterium Staphylococcus aureus is commonly found on the skin and rarely causes major problems. If it gets under the skin or into the lungs it can cause boils or pneumonia. If the strain of bacterium causing these problems is resistant to methicillin, the infections can be life threatening. Methicillin resistant Staphy- lococcus aureus or MRSA is, therefore, a major concern in hospitals and clinics. Given the death rate from MRSA lung infections is 20%, if 20 patients are admitted in the hospital find the following probabilities: (a) Less than 3 die (b) At least 3 die. (c) Between 6 and 3 die.
The General Social Survey is completed by adults living in the United States. In 2016 and 2018, respondents who were not living with both of their parents were asked why. In 2016 (group 1). 581 out of 1008 said that the reason was that their parents were divorced or separated. In 2018 (group 2), 483 out of 644 said that the reason was that their parents were divorced or separated. For the alternative hypothesis that there is a difference between the two years (Ha: P2 - P₁ does not equal O), what is the test statistic? Round your answer to two decimal places. Make sure to include a negative sign if appropriate.
In North America, between 100 million and 1 billion birds die each year by crashing into windows on buildings, more than any other human-related cause. This figure represents up to 5% of all birds in the area. One possible solution is to construct windows angled downward slightly so that they reflect the ground rather than an image of the sky to a flying bird. An experiment by Klem et al. (2004) compared the number of birds that died as a result of vertical windows, windows angled 20 degrees off vertical, and windows angled 40 degrees off vertical. The angles were randomly assigned with equal probability to six windows and changed daily; assume for this exercise that windows and window locations were identical in every respect except angle. Over the course of the experiment, 30 birds were killed by windows in the vertical orientation, 15 were killed by windows set at 20 degrees off vertical, and 8 were killed by windows set at 40 degrees off vertical. a. Clearly state an appropriate…
There is no cure for the common cold, but many cold remedies claim to make you feel better faster. A consumer watch group decides to compare the effectiveness of Vitamin C to the effectiveness of Echinacea in lessening the duration of the common cold. Sixty participants have volunteered to be infected with the cold virus for this study. In addition to the Vitamin C and Echinacea treatments which will be administered in capsules that are identical in appearance, one of the researchers suggests that they add a group that receives no treatment but receives an identical looking capsule with an inactive ingredient. If they decide not to add a group that receives no treatment, then: (A) This study will not be an experiment since there will not be a control group. (B) Even if there is a difference in recovery time between the Vitamin C and Echinacea groups, we will not know if the recovery times are less than if no treatment were given. (C) The experimental design will not be taking into…
Some commercial airplanes recirculate approximately 50% of the cabin air in order to increase fuel efficiency. The researchers studied 1100 airline passengers, among which some traveled on airplanes that recirculated air and others traveled on planes that did not recirculate air. Of the 515 passengers who flew on planes that did not recirculate air, 108 reported post-flight respiratory symptoms, while 112 of the 585 passengers on planes that did recirculate air reported such symptoms. Is there sufficient evidence to conclude that the proportion of passengers with post-flight respiratory symptoms differs for planes that do and do not recirculate air? Test the appropriate hypotheses using ? = 0.05. You may assume that it is reasonable to regard these two samples as being independently selected and as representative of the two populations of interest. (Use a statistical computer package to calculate the P-value. Use pdo not recirculate − pdo recirculate. Round your test statistic to two…
In his doctoral thesis, L. A. Beckel (University of Minnesota, 1982) studied the social behavior of river otters during the mating season. An important role in the bonding process of river otters is very short periods of social grooming. After extensive observations, Dr. Beckel found that one group of river otters under study had a frequency of initiating grooming of approximately 1.7 for each 10 minutes. Suppose that you are observing river otters for 30 minutes. Let r = 0, 1, 2, ... be a random variable that represents the number of times (in a 30-minute interval) one otter initiates social grooming of another. a) Find the probabilities that in your 30 minutes of observation, one otter will initiate social grooming four times, five times, and six times. (Round your answers to four decimal places.) P(4) = P(5) = P(6) = b) Find the probability that one otter will initiate social grooming less than four times during the 30-minute observation period. (Round your answer…
Biologists in Minnesota are interested in determining if there is a difference in the invasion rate of Asian Carp (which can be detrimental to the environment) between the Mississippi River and Lake Mille Lacs. In the Mississippi River, it was found that 206 of 579 fish caught were Asian Carp. In Lake Mille Lacs, 28 of 132 fish caught were Asian Carp. Let p, = the true proportion of Asian Carp in the Mississippi River and let p2 = the true proportion of Asian Carp in Lake Mille Lacs. A test of Ho: P₁ = P2 vs. Ha: P₁ P₂ resulted in a p-value of 0.0015. Which of the following is a correct conclusion? (A) The test is not appropriate, since the researchers should have conducted a one-sided test. (B) The test is not appropriate, since the sample size is too small to conduct an inference test for proportions. (C) The test is not appropriate, since the two sample sizes are very different. (D) The p-value of this test is large, indicating we have sufficient evidence to conclude that a…
"Space Mountain", a classic attraction at Disneyland Park, attracts many tourists to take a ride. Each ride can take tourist at a rate of 5 persons/min. The park is opened at 9:00 AM. Based on daily observations, it is found that the tourist arrival rate is 8 persons/min during 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM, 5 persons/min during 12:00 PM - 3:00 PM and 2 persons/min after 3:00 PM. Apply a D/D/1 queuing model to calculate what is the maximum number of tourists waiting in the queue? (Round to the nearest integer and fill in the blank with a number only.) Tourist # 180 D/D/1 360 Time (min) A
