Answer:

Sample mean from population A has probably more accurate estimate of its population mean than the sample mean from population B.

Step-by-step explanation:

To yield a more accurate estimate of the population mean, margin of error should be minimized.

margin of error (ME) of the mean can be calculated using the formula

ME=\frac{z*s}{\sqrt{N} } where

  • z is the corresponding statistic in the given confidence level(z-score or t-score)
  • s is the standard deviation of the sample (or of the population if it is known)
  • N is the sample size

for a given confidence level, and the same standard deviation, as the sample size increases, margin of error decreases.

Thus, random sample of 50 people from population A, has smaller margin of error than the sample of 20 people from population B.

Therefore, sample mean from population A has probably more accurate estimate of its population mean than the sample mean from population B.

The number of bacteria in a culture is given by the function n(t) =950e^0.45t Where t is measured in hours A) what is the contin
tatiyna

Answer:

a) The continuous rate of growth of this bacterium population is 45%

b) Initial population of culture at t = 0 is 950 bacteria

c) number of bacterial culture contain at t = 5 is 9013 bacteria

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of bacteria in a culture is given by

n(t) = 950e^{0.45t}

a) rate of growth is

Bacteria growth model N(t) = noe^{rt}

Where r is the growth rate

hence r = 0.45

              = 45%

b) Initial population of culture at t = 0

n(0) = 950e^{0.45(0)}

       = 950e^{0}

       = 950 bacteria

c) number of bacterial culture contain at t = 5

n(5) =  950e^{0.45(5)}

      = 950e^{2.25}

      = 9013.35

      = 9013 bacteria

The sum of the two decimals is 1 the product of these decimals is 0.25 the quotient of these two decimals is 1 what are the two
ExtremeBDS [4]
Since the quotient of the two decimal numbers is 1, that tells use that they are the same number.
Since the sum of the two numbers equals 1 and both numbers are the same, then the answer must be 1 divided by 2. or .5
the fractions would be 1/2 and 1/2
