You are a researcher studying the lifespan of a certain species of bacteria. A preliminary sample of 35 bacteria reveals a sampl

e mean of ¯ x = 80 x ¯ = 80 hours with a standard deviation of s = 4.8 s = 4.8 hours. You would like to estimate the mean lifespan for this species of bacteria to within a margin of error of 0.65 hours at a 98% level of confidence. What sample size should you gather to achieve a 0.65 hour margin of error? Round your answer up to the nearest whole number.

Answer: Sample size would be 296.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Standard deviation = 4.8 hours

Margin of error = 0.65 hours

At 98% level of confidence, z = 2.33

So, It becomes,

0.65=z\times \dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}\\\\0.65=2.33\times \dfrac{4.8}{\sqrt{n}}\\\\\dfrac{2.33\times 4.8}{0.65}=\sqrt{n}\\\\n=(\dfrac{11.184}{0.65})^2\\\\n=17.206^2\\\\n=296.051

Hence, sample size would be 296.

Write the equation for the graphed function. I worked out y = 5 - 4 (x + 4)^2 but that isn't right. Any help would be appreciate
alexira [117]

Vertex form for a parabola with vertex (p,q) is

y = a(x-p)^2 + q

We have (p,q)=(-4,5) and another point (-3,2) so we can solve for <em>a:</em>

2 = a(-3 - -4)^2 + 5

2 = a + 5

a = -3

Putting it together,

Answer: y = -3(x + 4)^2 + 5

We could multiply that out if we like but I won't bother.
