You are a researcher studying the lifespan of a certain species of bacteria. A preliminary sample of 30 bacteria reveals a sampl

e mean of x=74 hours with a standard deviation of s=5.4 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:

458

Step-by-step explanation:

Margin of error = critical value × standard error

At 99% confidence, the critical value is z = 2.576.

The standard error is σ/√n = 5.4/√n.

Given the desired margin of error is 0.65:

0.65 = 2.576 × 5.4/√n

n = 458

The points with coordinates (x, -1), (2,2), and (4,3) lie on the same line. What is the value of x?
borishaifa [10]

Find the slope of the line passing throught the points (2, 2) and (4, 3).

The formula of a slope:

m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Substitute:

m=\dfrac{3-2}{4-2}=\dfrac{1}{2}

If the point (x, -1) lie on the same line, then the slope of line passing through the points (2, 2) and (x, -1) the same:

Substitute:

m=\dfrac{-1-2}{x-2}=\dfrac{-3}{x-2}

We have the equation:

\dfrac{-3}{x-2}=\dfrac{1}{2}        <em>cross multiply</em>

(1)(x-2)=(-3)(2)

x-2=-6           <em>add 2 to both sides</em>

x=-4

<h3>Answer: x = -4.</h3>

Which person has the highest hourly <br> wage? How do you know?
Inga [223]

Answer:

Savannah

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Find the unit rate of all of the tables by dividing the values so that you know how much they earn per hour (ex. for Greg, the ratio is 3hours:$27 so divide all values by 3 to get 1hour:$9).

2. Compare all of the unit rate values (Savannah: $9.50 per hour, Greg: $9 per hour, and Kevin: $8.25 per hour).

5/3 raise to minus 5 into 5/3 raise to minus 11 is equal to 5/3 raise to x
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

x^a × x^b = x^(a+b)

Similarly,

(5/3)^(-5) × (5/3)^(-11) = (5/3)^(-5-11)

= (5/3)^(-16)

-16 = 8x

x = -2
