a)
p = 0.04
X = number of plants picked to get first 4-leaf clover
X follows geometric distribution
P(X = k) = (1-p)^(k-1)* p
P(X =16) = 0.96^15 * 0.04
= 0.02168
__________________________________
b)
mean = 1/p = 1/0.04 = 25
sd = sqrt((1-p)/p^2) = sqrt(0.96/0.04^2)
= 24.494897
3. Only 4% of clover plants are of the four-leaf variety. You will pick clover plants...
The amount of leaf protein (mg/g fresh weight) in soybean plants of a particular variety was determined for a sample of six plants, yielding the following data: 12.9, 15.5, 13.2, 7.5, 6.1, 8.9 Compute: The standard deviation
The amount of leaf protein (mg/g fresh weight) in soybean plants of a particular variety was determined for a sample of six plants, yielding the following data: 7.62 7.33 9.54 4.53 499 0.77 Compute the sample mean (average)
5. (5) You are working with a farmer who has two varieties of true-breeding corn plants. The Durham variety has dominant alleles for short stature (S), yellow leaf colour (Y) and crinkled leaves (C). The UOIT variety has the recessive alleles for all three genes, tall stature (s), green leaf colour v),and smooth leaves (c). The farmer has mapped the genes and tells you that they are linked as shown below: 7 m.u 18 m.u The farmer has produced an...
Many states have a lottery game, usually called Pick-4, in which you pick a 4-digit number (for instance, 3129). During the lottery drawing, there are four bins each containing balls labeled 0 through 9. One ball is drawn at random from each bin to select the winning lottery number . a. If you buy one ticket with one 4-digit number, what is the probability that you will win this game? b. What is the probability that the 4-digit number drawn...
1. 48 soybean seedlings at the 3-leaf stage, divided at random into 8 groups of 6. Each group of 6 was placed into a tray where it remained for the duration of the experiment. Four groups of 6 were chosen at random and placed in a chamber and exposed to filtered air containing 700 ppm (parts per million) carbon dioxide for 16 weeks. The other 4 groups of 6 were placed in an identical chamber and exposed to filtered air...
The practice of Conuco, involves growing a variety of compatible plants in a relatively small area. This is also called 1) Monoculture. O2) Polyculture 3) Paraculture 4) Fair trade
Assume that 20% of all plants in a field are infested with aphids. Suppose that you pick 35 plants at random. What is the probability that none of them carried aphids? Determine the values of n, p, and k for the binomial distribution. n = p= k= (Type integers or decimals.)
In the game of Pick-A-Ball, there are 10 colored balls: 3 red, 4 white, and 3 blue. The bals have been placed into a small bucket and the bucket has been shaken thoroughly You will be asked to reach into the bucket without looking and select 2 balls Secaus the bucket has been shaken thoroughly, you can assume that eadh individual ball is selected at random with equal likelhood of being chosen It is corsmon in games of chance to...
A competition at a fairground allows the participant to pick one of four balls at random. Inside one of the balls is a prize and if they pick that ball, they will win the prize. The prize is randomly allocated to one of the balls each time a new game is played. Compute the following probabilities (in the case of iii. find the approximate probability) . i. In one game, the participant wins the prize. ii. In 10 games, at...
The time (in number of days) until maturity of a certain variety of tomato plant is normally distributed with mean mu and standard deviation sigma = 2.4. I select a simple random sample of 6 plants of this variety and measure the time until maturity. The sample yields sample mean, 62.7. You read on the package of seeds that these tomatoes reach maturity, on average, in 61 days. Use significance test to see if your seeds are reaching maturity later...
