To assess the precision of a laboratory scale, we measure a block known to have a mass of 1 gram. we measure the block n times a

nd record the mean x¯ of the measurements. suppose the scale readings are normally distributed with unknown mean µ and standard deviation σ= 0.001 g. how large should n be so that a 95% confidence interval for µ has a margin of error of ± 0.0001

<span>n = 5 The formula for the confidence interval (CI) is CI = m ± z*d/sqrt(n) where CI = confidence interval m = mean z = z value in standard normal table for desired confidence n = number of samples Since we want a 95% confidence interval, we need to divide that in half to get 95/2 = 47.5 Looking up 0.475 in a standard normal table gives us a z value of 1.96 Since we want the margin of error to be ± 0.0001, we want the expression ± z*d/sqrt(n) to also be ± 0.0001. And to simplify things, we can omit the ± and use the formula 0.0001 = z*d/sqrt(n) Substitute the value z that we looked up, and get 0.0001 = 1.96*d/sqrt(n) Substitute the standard deviation that we were given and 0.0001 = 1.96*0.001/sqrt(n) 0.0001 = 0.00196/sqrt(n) Solve for n 0.0001*sqrt(n) = 0.00196 sqrt(n) = 19.6 n = 4.427188724 Since you can't have a fractional value for n, then n should be at least 5 for a 95% confidence interval that the measured mean is within 0.0001 grams of the correct mass.</span>

I need to find the area of a semicircle with a radius of 2 units
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

6.2832 square units (rounded off to four decimal values)

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a semicircle = \frac{1}{2} × π × r²

r (radius) = 2 units

For our semicircle the area = \frac{1}{2} × π × 2² = 6.28318530718  square units

Or 6.2832 square units (rounded off to four decimal values)
