A researcher is planning to compare the effects of two different types of lights on the growth of bean plants. She expects that

the means of the two groups will differ by about 1 inch and that in each group the standard deviation of plant growth will be around 1.5 inches. Consider the guideline that the anticipated SE for each experimental group should be no more than one-fourth of the anticipated difference between the two group means. How large should the sample be (for each group) in order to meet this guideline

Answer:

The sample size is  n  = 36

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The sample standard deviation is  s =  1.5

  The mean difference of the two groups is  \=x _ 1 - \=x_2 =  1

   The standard error is  SE =  \frac{ \= x_1 - \= x_2}{4}

=>                                      SE =  \frac{1}{4}

Let assume that the confidence level is 95% hence the level of significance is  

   \alpha = (100-95)\%

=> \alpha = 0.05

So the critical value of  \frac{\alpha }{2} obtained from the normal distribution table is

     Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } = 1.96

Generally the margin of error is mathematically evaluated as

     E =  Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } * SE    

   E =  1.96 * \frac{1}{4}

    E = 0.49

Generally the sample size is mathematically represented as

  n =[ \frac{Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2}  * s^2}}{E}]^2

=> n  = [\frac{1.96 * 1.5}{0.49} ]^2

=> n  = 36

Please help i need this done QUICK im timed ill give the best answer brainliest

Answer:

x=−32/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

1/2(1/4x−3/5)=1/4(2/5+3/4x)

(1/2)(1/4x)+(1/2)(−3/5)=(1/4)(2/5)+(1/4)(3/4x)(Distribute)(1/2)(1/4x)+(1/2)(−3/5)=(1/4)(2/5)+(1/4)(3/4x)(Distribute)

1/8x+−3/10=1/10+3/16x

1/8x+−3/10=3/16x+1/10

Step 2: Subtract 3/16x from both sides.

1/8x+−3/10−3/16x=3/16x+1/10−3/16x

−1/16x+−3/10=1/10

Step 3: Add 3/10 to both sides.

−1/16x+−3/10+3/10=1/10+3/10

−1/16x=2/5

Step 4: Multiply both sides by 16/(-1).

(16/−1)*(−1/16x)=(16/−1)*(2/5)

x=−3/25

How many fifths are the in 60/100
tankabanditka [31]
In order to calculate that, we need to divide it by 1/5 as follows:
60/100 / 1/5

We can re-write it as: 60/100 * 5 = 6/10 * 5 = 30/10 = 3

So, there are "3" 1/5ths in 60/100

Hope this helps!
