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.

What is this problem -12=4(x-7)-8x
Fofino [41]

-12=4(x-7)-8x

One solution was found :

                  x = -4

Rearrange:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :


                    -12-(4*(x-7)-8*x)=0


Step by step solution :

Step  1  :

Equation at the end of step  1  :

 -12 -  (4 • (x - 7) -  8x)  = 0

Step  2  :

Step  3  :

Pulling out like terms :

3.1     Pull out like factors :


  4x + 16  =   4 • (x + 4)


Equation at the end of step  3  :

 4 • (x + 4)  = 0

Step  4  :

Equations which are never true :

4.1      Solve :    4   =  0

Hope this helps you, Have a nice day.

qwelly [4]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The null hypothesis is usually the default statement while the alternative hypothesis is its opposite and usually tested against the null hypothesis.

In this case study, the null hypothesis is u = 21%/0.21, the percentage is not different among residents in Sonoma County and is equal to 0.21.

While the alternative hypothesis is u =/ 0.21, the percentage is different among residents in Sonoma County; not equal to 0.21
