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

Virty [35]

Answer:

C. 4.3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

n = 17

P = 1/4

Using binomial

Mean = np

Mean = 17 × (1/4)

= 17 × .25

= 4.25

Approximately = 4.3

. If α and β are the roots of
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

18x^2+85x+18 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>Given Equation is </em></u>

=> 2x^2+7x-9=0

Comparing it with ax^2+bx+c = 0, we get

=> a = 2, b = 7 and c = -9

So,

Sum of roots = α+β = -\frac{b}{a}

α+β = -7/2

Product of roots = αβ = c/a

αβ = -9/2

<em>Now, Finding the equation whose roots are:</em>

α/β ,β/α

Sum of Roots = \frac{\alpha }{\beta } + \frac{\beta }{\alpha }

Sum of Roots = \frac{\alpha^2+\beta^2  }{\alpha \beta }

Sum of Roots = \frac{(\alpha+\beta )^2-2\alpha\beta   }{\alpha\beta  }

Sum of roots = (\frac{-7}{2} )^2-2(\frac{-9}{2} ) / \frac{-9}{2}

Sum of roots = \frac{49}{4} + 9 /\frac{-9}{2}

Sum of Roots = \frac{49+36}{4} / \frac{-9}{2}

Sum of roots = \frac{85}{4} * \frac{2}{-9}

Sum of roots = S = -\frac{85}{18}

Product of Roots = \frac{\alpha }{\beta } \frac{\beta }{\alpha }

Product of Roots = P = 1

<u><em>The Quadratic Equation is:</em></u>

=> x^2-Sx+P = 0

=> x^2 - (-\frac{85}{18} )x+1 = 0

=> x^2 + \frac{85}{18}x + 1 = 0

=> 18x^2+85x+18 = 0

This is the required quadratic equation.

What procedure will find the sum a+b of two numbers where a and b represent any integer?
ElenaW [278]

Answer:As rational number includes natural number, whole number ,integers  also.

⇒Natural number(1,2,3,4....) is a rational number also.

So, when A= Natural number , B=Any other natural number

Just add two natural number using simple law of addition.

⇒As Whole numbers(0,1,2,3,...) are Rational number also.

So If A=any whole number, B=Any other whole number

Add the whole number in any order using law of addition.

⇒Coming to integers (....-123,....-5,...-1,....12,....59,.....) By taking any two integers ,

1. Both of them are positive add using simple law of addition.

2. One of them is positive and other is negative , if larger one has positive sign before it just subtract smaller one from larger one and put positive sign before the result.and if larger one has negative sign before it ,subtract smaller one from larger one and put negative sign before the result.

⇒If both of them are negative , just add the two integers and apply negative sign before the result.

4. Rational number as fractions ,

A=m/n and B=p/q

A+B=m/n + p/q

find LCM of n and q.

If n and q are co-prime multiply n and q to get the LCM.For example if n=5, q=7, then LCM=5×7=35

If n and q are not co-prime find the factors of n and q .take out the common factors and then multiply the common factors with those factors which are not common.

For example, n=15, q=20

15=5×3

20=2×2×5

common factor=5

non common factor=2,2,3

LCM=5×2×2×3=60

Suppose LCM(n,q)= K

⇒p/q+m/n

=

So ,

which is the way to find LCM of rational number when theyare fractions.
