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

Alejandro loves to go to the movies .He goes both at night and during the he day
Alex17521 [72]

The number of matinee movies attended is 4.

The number of a evening show movies attended is 2.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

  • Let x represent the number of matinee movies attended.
  • Let y represent  the number of evening show movies attended.
  • Alejandro went to see a total of 6 movies.

Therefore, from the given data the equation can be framed as :

⇒ x + y = 6  ----------(1)

  • The cost of a matinee is $7.
  • The cost of an evening show is $12.
  • Alejandro spent a total of $52.

Therefore, from the given data the equation can be framed as :

⇒ 7x + `12y = 52  ---------(2)

<u>To solve the equations for x and y values :</u>

Mulitply eq (1) and by 7 and subtract eq (2) from eq (1),

  7x + 7y = 42

- <u>(7x + 12y = 52)</u>

  <u>     - 5y = - 10 </u>

⇒ y = 10/5

⇒ y = 2

The number of a evening show movies attended is 2.

Substitute y=2 in eq (1),

⇒ x+2 = 6

⇒ x = 6-2

⇒ x = 4

The number of matinee movies attended is 4.
