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.

Suppose the integral from 2 to 8 of g of x, dx equals 12, and the integral from 6 to 8 of g of x, dx equals negative 3, find the
Artyom0805 [142]

\displaystyle\int_2^8g(x)\,\mathrm dx=12

\displaystyle\int_6^8g(x)\,\mathrm dx=-3

Use the fact that integrals are additive on their intervals. Mathematically, if c\in[a,b], then

\displaystyle\int_a^bg(x)\,\mathrm dx=\int_a^cg(x)\,\mathrm dx+\int_c^bg(x)\,\mathrm dx

So we have

\displaystyle2\int_2^6g(x)\,\mathrm dx=2\left(\int_2^8g(x)\,\mathrm dx-\int_6^8g(x)\,\mathrm dx\right)=2(12-(-3))=30
