Answer:

19 beers must be sampled.

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 - 0.9}{2} = 0.05

Now, we have to find z in the Z-table as such z has a p-value of 1 - \alpha.

That is z with a pvalue of 1 - 0.05 = 0.95, so Z = 1.645.

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.

The population standard deviation for the temperature of beers found in Scooter's Tavern is 0.26 degrees.

This means that \sigma = 0.26

If we want to be 90% confident that the sample mean beer temperature is within 0.1 degrees of the true mean temperature, how many beers must we sample?

This is n for which M = 0.1. So

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

0.1 = 1.645\frac{0.26}{\sqrt{n}}

0.1\sqrt{n} = 1.645*0.26

\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.645*0.26}{0.1}

(\sqrt{n})^2 = (\frac{1.645*0.26}{0.1})^2

n = 18.3

Rounding up:

19 beers must be sampled.

PLEASE HELP!! If f (x) = 4x^-2 + 1/4x^2 + 4, then f’(2) =
Elena-2011 [213]
<h3>Answer: D) 0</h3>

Work Shown:

f(x) = 4x^(-2) + (1/4)x^2 + 4

f ' (x) = 4*(-2)x^(-3) + (1/4)*2x .... power rule

f ' (x) = -8x^(-3) + (1/2)x

f ' (2) = -8(2)^(-3) + (1/2)*(2)

f ' (2) = 0
