The antibody production of 12 male red-winged blackbirds before and after receiving testosterone implants was compared. The unit

s for antibody levels were natural log (10-3 optical density) per minute (ln(mOD/min)). The mean change in antibody production was d = 0.056, and the standard deviation was sd = 0.148 If you were assigned the task of repeating this experiment, and wanted to ensure that you could detect a mean change of 0.03 units with a probability of 0.8, then what sample size would you use? Since we are calculating n for a study of individuals, answers should be rounded up to the next whole number.

Answer:

I you want to ensure that you could detect a mean change of 0.03 units with a probability of 0.8, then you need at least 40 individuals for the sample.

Step-by-step explanation:

Minimum required sample size can be found using the formula

N≥(\frac{z*s}{ME} )^2 where

  • N is the sample size
  • z is the corresponding z-score for (0.8 probability) 80% confidence level (1.28)
  • s is the standard deviation (0.148)
  • ME (margin of error) is the margin for detecting mean change (0.03)

Using the numbers we get:

N≥(\frac{1.28*1.48}{0.03} )^2 ≈ 40

Peg and Larry purchased “no contract” cell phones. Pegs phone costs $25 plus $0.25 per minute. Larry’s phone cost $35 plus $0.20
marissa [1.9K]
Let x be the number of minutes Peg and Larry used their phones. So their costs can be written as:

Cost of Peg's Phone usage = 25 + 0.25x
Cost of Larry's Phone usage = 35 + 0.20x

We are to find when the Peg's phone will be more than Larry's phone. We can set up the inequality as:

25 + 0.25x > 35 + 0.20x

Re-arranging the inequality

0.25x - 0.20x > 35 - 25

0.05x > 10

x > 10/0.05

x > 200

Thus, Pag's phone will cost more if the number of minutes of phone usage is more than 200
