A research scholar wants to know how many times per hour a certain strand of virus reproduces. The mean is found to be 4 reprodu

ctions and the population standard deviation is known to be 2.3. If a sample of 1083 was used for the study, construct the 99% confidence interval for the true mean number of reproductions per hour for the virus. Round your answers to one decimal place.

Answer:

The 99% confidence interval for the true mean number of reproductions per hour for the virus is between 3.8 and 4.2.

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.

That 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{2.3}{\sqrt{1083}} = 0.18

Rounding to one decimal place, 0.2.

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 4 - 0.2 = 3.8 reproductions

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 4 + 0.2 = 4.2 reproductions.

The 99% confidence interval for the true mean number of reproductions per hour for the virus is between 3.8 and 4.2.

Answer:

10=16[ by cost]

Step-by-step explanation: the cost of 10 chairs is x.

the cost 16 chairs is also x. 10x = 16x

4x is loss.

Profit or Gain = Selling price – Cost price. Loss = Cost price – Selling price. Profit Percentage = [Profit/C.P.]×100. Percentage Loss = [Loss/C.P.]×100.

In simple way, we can say that sp- cp[ when it is a gain], cp -sp[ when it is a loss]. here it is a loss as well as a gain. so do both according to the formula

Draw a model to represent the product 41×16
svlad2 [7]
41×16 is 656 because 1×6 is 6. 6×4 is 24. 1×1 is 1. 1×4 is 4. The numbers left are 246 ( 1×6 + 6×4 ), and 41 ( 1×1 + 1×4 ). All together, the answer is 656. Enjoy! :)
