25% of Flapper fish have red spots, the rest have blue spots. A fisherman nets 10 flapper fish. What are the probabilities that:
(i) exactly 8 have blue spots ?
(ii) atleast 8 have blue spots ?
A large number of samples, each of 100 flapper fish are taken.
(iii) What is the mean and standard deviation of the number of red spotted fish per sample ?
(iv) What is the probability of a sample of 100 flapper fish containing over 30 with red spots ?

Please answer both parts of the question, and provide detail The Nelson Company has $1,495,000 in current assets and $650,000 in current liabilities. Its initial inventory level is $455,000, and it will raise funds as additional notes payable and use them to increase inventory. 1. How much can Nelson's short-term debt (notes payable) increase without pushing its current ratio below 1.4? Round your answer to the nearest cent. 2. What will be the firm's quick ratio after Nelson has raised the maximum amount of short-term funds? Round your answer to two decimal places.

What is your favorite color? A large survey of countries, including the United States, China, Russia, France, Turkey, Kenya, and others, indicated that most people prefer the color blue. In fact, about 24% of the population claim blue as their favorite color.† Suppose a random sample of n = 59 college students were surveyed and r = 11 of them said that blue is their favorite color. Does this information imply that the color preference of all college students is different (either way) from that of the general population? Use α = 0.05.
(a) What is the level of significance?
State the null and alternate hypotheses.
H0: p = 0.24; H1: p ≠ 0.24H0: p = 0.24; H1: p < 0.24 H0: p ≠ 0.24; H1: p = 0.24H0: p = 0.24; H1: p > 0.24
(b) What sampling distribution will you use?
The Student's t, since np < 5 and nq < 5.The standard normal, since np < 5 and nq < 5. The standard normal, since np > 5 and nq > 5.The Student's t, since np > 5 and nq > 5.
What is the value of the sample test statistic? (Round your answer
to two decimal places.)
(c) Find the P-value of the test statistic. (Round your
answer to four decimal places.)

The red blood cell counts (in millions of cells per microliter) for a population of adult males can be approximated by a normal distribution, with a mean of 5.9 million cells per microliter and a standard deviation of 0.4 million cells per microliter. (a) What is the minimum red blood cell count that can be in the top 23% of counts? (b) What is the maximum red blood cell count that can be in the bottom 12% of counts? (Round to two decimal places as needed.)

1 An urn contains three green chips and four blue chips. Two chips are removed is succession. What is the probability both are blue if:
a.) The chips are sampled with replacement?
b.) The chips are sampled without replacement?
2 An urn contains 5 orange and 4 red balls. Three balls are removed. Lex R be the random variable (R.V.) denoting the number of red balls in the sample of three balls. What is the probability two of the balls in the sample are red?

Both Government and Opposition in New Zealand acknowledge that New Zealand needs to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions. To guide purchasing decisions of New Zealanders, government proposed to subsidise the price of imported electric and hybrid vehicles by up to NZ$8,000 and tax the import of vehicles with the highest greenhouse gas emission by up to NZ$3,000.[1]
Julie-Anne Genter says, “These policies are about making cleaner vehicles a realistic option for more New Zealand households and businesses.”[2]
Lawrence Yule responds “National supports incentivising people to buy electric vehicles, providing their lifestyle can accommodate them. From the surface this looks like a concept that is worth exploring, I have found however after investigation that it is unlikely to work.”[3]
The Ministry of Transport notes that, “New Zealand is well placed to benefit from electric vehicles. More than 80 percent of electricity is generated from renewable sources and there is enough supply for widespread adoption of EVs. Even if every light vehicle was electric, there is sufficient generation capacity to charge these provided the majority are charged at off-peak times.”[4]
Given what you understand about price elasticity of demand and supply, explain why electric vehicle prices continue to be so high in New Zealand. Use a suitable diagram to illustrate your answer.
Given what you understand about price elasticity of demand and supply, explain how the proposed "feebate" policy will affect consumer purchasing decisions of electric vehicles and vehicles with high greenhouse gas emissions ("gas guzzlers"). Use a suitable diagram to illustrate your answer.
Either using the same diagram, or a new one, explain the impact of the feebate policy on price in the two market segments. Explain how the benefit of the subsidy and the burden of the tax is likely to be shared between the consumers and vehicle importers. What impact would you expect the feebate policy to have on the price and quantity demanded of electric vehicles and gas guzzlers? What are the advantages to society of lowering the price of electric vehicles and increasing that of gas guzzlers? What are the disadvantages?
Based on your discussion, do you think the government’s intervening in the market of imported vehicles will be beneficial for society?

A protease is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of the peptide bonds of target proteins. How might a protease bind a target protein so that its main chain becomes fully extended in the vicinity of the vulnerable peptide bond?
The hint that we got was this: look for a way the protease might stabilize the substrate during hydrolysis
I'm open to several possibilities at this point but please explain your answer in detail.

The weight of adult koalas living in a particular region is normally distributed with a mean of 21.1 pounds and a standard deviation of 3.24 pounds. A sample of 6 adult koalas from the region is selected at random.
Find the probability that the mean weight of koalas in the sample is within 0.6 pounds of the population mean weight.
Round your answer to 4 decimal places.
Please explain each step in detail.
