A research scientist wants to know how many times per hour a certain strand of bacteria reproduces. The mean is found to be 10.3

reproductions and the population standard deviation is known to be 2.1. If a sample of 728 was used for the study, construct the 99% confidence interval for the true mean number of reproductions per hour for the bacteria. Round your answers to one decimal place.

Answer:

Confidence interval for the true mean number of reproductions per hour for the bacteria is (10.1,10.5).

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Population mean, μ = 10.3

Population standard deviation, σ = 2.1

Sample size, n = 728

Alpha, α = 0.01

Confidence interval:

\mu \pm z_{critical}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

Putting the values, we get,

z_{critical}\text{ at}~\alpha_{0.01} = \pm 2.58

10.3 \pm 2.58(\frac{2.1}{\sqrt{728}} ) = 10.3 \pm 0.2008 = (10.0992,10.5008) \approx (10.1,10.5)

Brums [2.3K]

Step-by-step explanation:

straight line = 180 degree

example

1) 2w - 24 + 2w - 40 = 180

4w = 180 + 24 + 40

4w = 244

w = 244/4

.......

2) 13n - 11 +(-9 + 12n)

13n - 11 -9 + 12n = 180

25n -20 = 180

25n = 180 + 20

25n = 200

n = 200/25

Dante's Mom wants to build a fence around their yard. Here are the measurements of the yard. What are the measurements of the mi
timama [110]

Answer:

(a)The missing measurements are 9 feet and 16\frac{1}{4}$ feet.

(b)Therefore, the length of the fence is  97\frac{1}{2}$ feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram of the yard is attached below.

(a)I have labeled the missing dimensions of the yard as x and y.

Therefore:

y+8\frac{1}{4}=17 \frac{1}{4}\\y=17 \frac{1}{4}-8\frac{1}{4}\\y=9$ feet

Similarly:

x+15\frac{1}{4}=31\frac{1}{2}\\x=31\frac{1}{2}-15\frac{1}{4}\\x=31-15+\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{4}\\x=16+\frac{1}{4}\\x=16\frac{1}{4}$ feet

The missing measurements are 9 feet and 16\frac{1}{4}$ feet.

(b)Length of the Fence

The fence is rectangular shaped with:

Length = 31\frac{1}{2}$ feet

Width = 17 \frac{1}{4}$ feet

Perimeter of a Rectangle = 2(L+W)

Therefore, the length of the fence

=2(31\frac{1}{2}+17 \frac{1}{4})\\=2(31+17+\frac{1}{2}+ \frac{1}{4})\\=2(48+ \frac{3}{4})\\=96+\frac{3}{2}\\=97\frac{1}{2}$ feet
