A research scientist wants to know how many times per hour a certain strand of bacteria reproduces. The mean is found to be 7.6

reproductions and the population standard deviation is known to be 2.2. If a sample of 707 was used for the study, construct the 90% confidence interval for the true mean number of reproductions per hour for the bacteria. Round your answers to one decimal place.

The confidence interval for the true mean number of reproductions per hour is (7.5,7.7)

Given mean of 7.6 , standard deviation of 2.2, n=707 and 90% confidence level.

We have to find the confidence interval for the true mean number of reproductions per hour for the bacteria.

α=0.90

μ=7.6

σ=2.2

m=707

α/2=0.45

We have to calculate z value for the p value of 0.45 which is z=1.64.

Margin of error=z*μ/\sqrt{n}

=1.64*2.2/\sqrt{707}

=0.13

Lower level=mean -m

=7.6-0.13

=7.47

after rounding upto 1 decimal

=7.5

Upper level= mean +m

=7.6+0.13

=7.73

after rounding upto 1 decimal

=7.7

Hence the confidence interval is (7.5,7.7) for the true mean number of reproductions per hour.

Tems11 [23]

Answer:

B. 100

Step-by-step explanation:

This is simple, the picture that is provided tells us the answer easily.

An angle lower than 90 degrees is called an acute angle. While one that is the same as 90 degrees is a right angle, and one that is more than 90 is obtuse.

We are asked to take a look at angle 4, we can see that is more than 90 degrees. Since 100 is the only answer with an amount higher than 90 degrees and fits the angle, it is the angle.
