The student will evaluate data collected to determine if they fit either the uniform or exponential distributions.
Collect the data
Go to your local supermarket. Ask 30 people as they leave for the total amount on their grocery receipts. (Or, ask three cashiers for the last ten amounts. Be sure to include the express lane, if it is open.)
Note
You may need to combine two categories so that each cell has an expected value of at least five.
Record the values.

Construct a histogram of the data. Make five to six intervals. Sketch the graph using a ruler and pencil. Scale the axes.
Calculate the following:
________
s = ________
s2 = ________
Uniform distribution
Test to see if grocery receipts follow the uniform distribution.
Using your lowest and highest values,
X ~
U (_______, _______)
Divide the distribution into fifths.
Calculate the following:
lowest value = _________
20
th percentile = _________
40
th percentile = _________
60
th percentile = _________
80
th percentile = _________
highest value = _________
For each fifth, count the observed number of receipts and record it. Then determine the expected number of receipts and record that.

What distribution should you use for a hypothesis test?
Why did you choose this distribution?
Calculate the test statistic.
Find the
p -value.
Sketch a graph of the situation. Label and scale the
x -axis. Shade the area corresponding to the
p -value.
State your decision.
State your conclusion in a complete sentence.
Exponential distribution
Test to see if grocery receipts follow the exponential distribution with decay parameter
.
Using
as the decay parameter,
X ~
Exp (_________).
Calculate the following:
lowest value = ________
first quartile = ________
37
th percentile = ________
median = ________

Discussion questions
Did your data fit either distribution? If so, which?
In general, do you think it’s likely that data could fit more than one distribution? In complete sentences, explain why or why not.
Bacteria doesn't produce energy they are dependent upon their substrate in case of lack of nutrients they are able to make spores which helps them to sustain in harsh environments
_Adnan
But not all bacteria make spores, l mean Eukaryotic cells have Mitochondria which acts as powerhouse for them, since bacteria don't have it, what is the substitution for it?
Assimilatory nitrate reduction is a process that occurs in some microorganisms, such as bacteria and archaea, in which nitrate (NO3-) is reduced to nitrite (NO2-), and then further reduced to ammonia (NH3).
Elkana
This process is called assimilatory nitrate reduction because the nitrogen that is produced is incorporated in the cells of microorganisms where it can be used in the synthesis of amino acids and other nitrogen products
There are nothing like emergency disease but there are some common medical emergency which can occur simultaneously like Bleeding,heart attack,Breathing difficulties,severe pain heart stock.Hope you will get my point .Have a nice day ❣️

define infection ,prevention and control
Innocent
I think infection prevention and control is the avoidance of all things we do that gives out break of infections and promotion of health practices that promote life
