However, she decides to include instant ramen (as suggested by Akali and Ahri) in her "comfort foods". Evelynn told her that the average caloric content of it is more than 370 calories. She told Kai'Sa that ramen might not be good for her. Unconvinced, Kai'Sa researched. After two days, Kai'Sa found out from 60 samples that the average number of calories is 383. The standard deviation is 70. Would the ramen ruin Kai'Sa's diet? Choose the best answer. A If Kai'Sa is considering the diet where the alpha value is at 0.10, then the ramen doesn't hurt her diet. B If we are dealing with the strictest method, with the alpha value at 0.01, ramen certainly ruins Kai'Sa's diet.

However, cattled rachers in the area have made a determined effort to exterminate wolves. From 1918 present, approximately 65% of the wolves in the region are male, and 35% are female. Biologists suspect that male wolves are more likely than female to return to the area where the population have been greatly reduced. Round three decimals: a) Before 1918, in a ramdon sample 11 wolves spotted in the region, what is the probability that 8 or more were males? - what is the probability 8 or more were females? - what is the probability fewer than 5 were females? d) From the period 1918 to present in a ramdon sample 11wolves spotted in the region, what is the probability that 8 or more were males? -what is the probability 8 or more were females? -what is the probability fewer than 5 were females?arrow_forwardQuestion # 4: * The lunch meat Mrs. Sanchez bought is listed on the sales receipt below.
