A limnologist wishes to estimate the mean phosphate content per unit volume of lake water. It is knownfrom studies in previous y

ears that the standard deviation has a fairly stable value ofσ= 4. How manyindependent water samples must the limnologist analyze to be 90% certain that the error of estimation [halfwidth of 90% confidence interval] does not exceed 0.8 milligrams?

Answer: 68

Step-by-step explanation:

As per given , we have

Population standard deviation : \sigma=4

Critical value for  90% confidence interval =z_{\alpha/2}=1.645

Margin of error : E= 0.8 milligrams

The formula to find the sample size is given by :-

n=(\dfrac{z_{\alpha/2}\ \sigma}{E})^2

i.e. n=(\dfrac{(1.645)(4)}{0.8})^2=(8.225)^2

=67.650625\approx68

Hence, the limnologist must analyze 68 samples.

Umnica [9.8K]

Answer: a.This is the average number of days the house stayed on the market before being sold for $150,000.


Step-by-step explanation:

Given: f(p) be the average number of days a house stays on the market before being sold for price p in $1,000s.

To find the meaning f(150),

here p= 150 which means f(150) is the average number of days a house stays on the market before being sold for price 150 in $1,000s.

And 150 in $ 1,000= $150,000

Therefore, f(150) is the average number of days a house stays on the market before being sold for price $150,000.

Two cars traveled equal distances in different amounts of time. Car A traveled the distance in 2 h, and Car B traveled the dista
irakobra [83]

Answer: Car B traveled 60 mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

A= B-15

A: (B - 15)(2 hr)=D

B: (B)(1.5)=D

Since B and A traveled the same distance you can plug in 1.5B for D.

2B - 30 = 1.5B

-1.5B +30 = -1.5B

——————+30—

2(0.5B) = 2(30)

B = 60 mph
