Some shrubs have the useful ability to resprout from their roots after their tops are destroyed. Fire is a particular threat to shrubs in dry climates, as it can injure the roots as well as destroy the aboveground material. One study of resprouting took place in a dry area of Mexico. The investigation clipped the tops of samples of several species of shrubs. In some cases, they also applied a propane torch to the stumps to simulate a fire. Of 19 specimens of a particular species, 6 resprouted after fire. Estimate with 96% confidence the proportion of all shrubs of this species that will resprout after fire. Interval: .1884 to

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence interval is written as

Sample proportion ± margin of error

Margin of error = z × √pq/n

Where

z represents the z score corresponding to the confidence level

p = sample proportion. It also means probability of success

q = probability of failure

q = 1 - p

p = x/n

Where

n represents the number of samples

x represents the number of success

From the information given,

n = 19

x = 6

p = 6/19 = 0.32

q = 1 - 0.32 = 0.68

To determine the z score, we subtract the confidence level from 100% to get α

α = 1 - 0.96 = 0.04

α/2 = 0.04/2 = 0.02

This is the area in each tail. Since we want the area in the middle, it becomes

1 - 0.02 = 0.98

The z score corresponding to the area on the z table is 2.05. Thus, Thus, the z score for a confidence level of 96% is 2.05

Therefore, the 96% confidence interval is

0.32 ± 2.05√(0.68)(0.32)/19

The lower limit of the confidence interval is

0.32 - 0.22 = 0.1

The upper limit of the confidence interval is

0.32 + 0.22 = 0.54

Therefore, with 96% confidence interval, the proportion of all shrubs of this species that will resprout after fire is between 0.1 and 0.54

answer: solve 5\cdot 2^x=2405⋅2  

x

=2405, dot, 2, start superscript, x, end superscript, equals, 240.

solution

to solve for xxx, we must first isolate the exponential part. to do this, divide both sides by 555 as shown below. we do not multiply the 555 and the 222 as this goes against the order of operations!

\begin{aligned} 5\cdot 2^x& =240 2^x& =48 \\ \end{aligned}
