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

Can y’all plz help me ?
crimeas [40]

Answer:

x=-5

Step-by-step explanation

The first box has eight x's and six 1's which means that it would be written as 8x+6

The second box has four x's and fourteen -1's which means that it would be written as 4x-14

You set them equal to one another

8x+6=4x-14

You subtract 4x from both sides

4x+6=-14

Subtract 6 on both sides

4x=-20

Divide 4 on both sides

x=-5

Hope it helps :))

3. Here is a diagram of a softball field:
Crank

a. Length of the fence around the field = perimeter of quarter circle = 892.7 ft.

b. The area of the outfield is about 39,584 sq. ft..

<h3>What is the Perimeter of a Quarter Circle?</h3>

Perimeter of circle = 2πr

Perimeter of a quarter circle = 2r + 1/4(2πr).

a. The length of the fence around the field = perimeter of the quarter circle fence

= 2r + 1/4(2πr).

r = 250 ft

Plug in the value

The length of the fence around the field = 2(250) + 1/4(2 × π × 250)

= 892.7 ft.

b. Size of the outfield = area of the full field (quarter circle) - area of the infield (cicle)

= 1/4(πR²) - πr²

R = radius of the full field = 250 ft

r = radius of the infield = 110/2 = 55 ft

Plug in the values

Size of the outfield = 1/4(π × 250²) - π × 55²

= 49,087 - 9,503

= 39,584 sq. ft.
