A research scientist wants to know how many times per hour a certain strand of bacteria reproduces. The mean is found to be 9.8

reproductions and the population standard deviation is known to be 2.4. If a sample of 955 was used for the study, construct the 99% confidence interval for the true mean number of reproductions per hour for the bacteria. Round your answers to one decimal place.

Answer:

The 99% confidence interval for the true mean number of reproductions per hour for the bacteria is between 9.6 and 10.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our \alpha level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

\alpha = \frac{1-0.99}{2} = 0.005

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of 1-\alpha.

So it is z with a pvalue of 1-0.005 = 0.995, so z = 2.575

Now, find the margin of error M as such

M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

In which \sigma is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

M = 2.575\frac{2.4}{\sqrt{955}} = 0.2

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 9.8 - 0.2 = 9.6 reproductions per hour.

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 9.8 + 0.2 = 10 reproductions per hour.

The 99% confidence interval for the true mean number of reproductions per hour for the bacteria is between 9.6 and 10.

What is the missing value x/24 + 35/60
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

14

Step-by-step explanation:

x/24=35/60

x=(24*35)/60

x=14

Hope this helps plz hit the crown :D

Second way:

35/60 divided by 5

7/12

x/24=7/12

1/2x/12 = 7/12

1/2x=7

x=14

Find the value of x when : 2^30/8^9=2^x
artcher [175]

Answer:

x = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay, the first thing to do is get that 8 away from the fraction. How can we do it? When you have 2³ you have 8, is the same thing, so let's do it:

2³⁰/(2³)⁹ = 2^x

When you have a number with the shape (a^x)^y, you can write it as a^(x•y), so:

(2³)⁹ = 2^3•9 = 2²⁷

Now we have:

2³⁰/2²⁷ = 2^x

When you have a division like this: (a^x)/(a^y), you can write it as a^(x-y), so:

2^(30-27) = 2^x

2^-3 = 2^x

Now you know that x = -3
