You are a researcher studying the lifespan of a certain species of bacteria. From a previous study, it was found that the standa

rd deviation was 5.2 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 99% 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: 425

Step-by-step explanation:

As considering the given description, we have

Population standard deviation: \sigma=5.2

Margin of error : E = 0.65

Critical value for 99% confidence interval : z_{\alpha/2}=2.576

Formula to find the sample size : n=(\dfrac{z_{\alpha/2}\cdot \sigma}{E})^2

i.e. n=(\dfrac{(2.576)\cdot (5.2)}{0.65})^2

=(20.608)^2=424.689664\approx425

Hence, the required minimum sample size =425

Is sin theta=5/6, what are the values of cos theta and tan theta?
mina [271]

let's bear in mind that sin(θ) in this case is positive, that happens only in the I and II Quadrants, where the cosine/adjacent are positive and negative respectively.

\bf sin(\theta )=\cfrac{\stackrel{opposite}{5}}{\stackrel{hypotenuse}{6}}\qquad \impliedby \textit{let's find the \underline{adjacent side}} \\\\\\ \textit{using the pythagorean theorem} \\\\ c^2=a^2+b^2\implies \pm\sqrt{c^2-b^2}=a \qquad \begin{cases} c=hypotenuse\\ a=adjacent\\ b=opposite\\ \end{cases} \\\\\\ \pm\sqrt{6^2-5^2}=a\implies \pm\sqrt{36-25}\implies \pm \sqrt{11}=a \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill

\bf cos(\theta )=\cfrac{\stackrel{adjacent}{\pm\sqrt{11}}}{\stackrel{hypotenuse}{6}} \\\\\\ tan(\theta )=\cfrac{\stackrel{opposite}{5}}{\stackrel{adjacent}{\pm\sqrt{11}}}\implies \stackrel{\textit{and rationalizing the denominator}~\hfill }{tan(\theta )=\pm\cfrac{5}{\sqrt{11}}\cdot \cfrac{\sqrt{11}}{\sqrt{11}}\implies tan(\theta )=\pm\cfrac{5\sqrt{11}}{11}}

Gary's parents want him to attend The University of Houston. They opened a college savings account 15 years ago. Today, average
Vikki [24]

Answer:

Results are below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Today, average yearly tuition and fees for one year at the university are about $10,350.

I will assume a yearly interest rate of 8%.

<u>First, we need to calculate the total amount needed:</u>

Future value (FV)= 10,350*4= $41,400

<u>Now, using the following formula, the annual deposit required:</u>

FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i

A= annual deposit

Isolating A:

A= (FV*i)/{[(1+i)^n]-1}

A= (41,400*0.08) / [(1.08^15) - 1]

A= $7,194.22

A pet store employee measures the lengths of two pet snakes, Noodles and Squiggles. Noodles measures 30 inches long, and Squiggl
deff fn [24]

Answer:

4

Squiggles

Step-by-step explanation:

steps

  1. convert the length of squiggles from feet to inches
  2. find the difference

1 feet = 12 inches

2 feet = 2 x 12 = 24 inches

length of squiggles = 24 + 10 = 34 inches

squiggles is longer because 34 is greater than 30

difference = 34 - 30 = 4
