Answer: 2.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The weights, in pounds, of the cats in an animal adoption center are normally distributed.

The confidence interval is (7.9,12.7)           (1)

Let \overline{x} be the sample mean of the weights, in pounds, of the cats in an animal adoption center.

We know that the confidence interval for population mean is given by :-

(\overline{x}-E,\overline{x}+E)      (2)

From (1) and (2)

\overline{x}-E=7.9-------(3)\\\\\overline{x}+E=12.7--------------(4)

Subtracting (3) from (4), we get

2E=4.8\\\\\Rightarrow\ E=2.4

Hence, the margin of error is E = 2.4

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Cells are divided into two cell every 20mins, this implies that the half-life is 20mins

Initial population growth is 60cells

Growth rate r?

Population growth is modeled as

P(t) = Po•exp(rt)

Where,

Po is the initial growth at t= 0

Po= 60

P(t) is population at any time t.

Since the population doubles every 20mins(⅓hr)

Then, P(⅓) = 2×60 =120

Then, P(t) = 120cells

So, applying the formula

P(t) = Po•exp(rt)

120 = 60•exp(⅓r)

120/60 = exp(r/3)

2 = exp(r/3)

Take In of both sides

In(2) = r/3

Cross multiply

r = 3In(2)

r = 2.079 /hour

The growth rate is 2.079/hour.

Which of the following is not true about cluster sampling?
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

The correct answer is D. It is not true that cluster sampling uses randomly selected clusters and samples everyone within each cluster.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cluster sampling is a method of collecting samples and statistical data, by means of which a certain group formed by people, things, events, etc., is taken as a sample, which are not considered individually but as part of a whole, which is in turn a proportional representation of the universality of samples available in the field.

Now, since this type of sampling allows to embrace large groups of sample units, data are not always obtained from all the components of the cluster, but from those necessary to be able to quantify the desired statistics.
