If you started with one double stranded dna template, how many pcr cycles would it take to produce 256 double stranded copies:

1 answer:

3 0

Let x be the number of prc cycles that is needed in order for the desired stranded copies to be achieved. The equation that allows us to determine the value of x is,

D = 2(2)^(x - 1)

Substituting the known value,
256 = (2)(2)^(x - 1)

The value of x from the equation is 8.

What is the 95% CI for data set 2?

vesna_86 [32]

Answer: 20 ± 11.32

Explanation: Confidence Interval (CI) is an interval of values where there is a % certainty the true mean value lies in. For example, a 95% CI means there is a 95% certainty the true mean value lies in the interval.

For the data set 2, z-value for 95% confidence interval is z = 1.96

Formula to calculate CI is

x ± $z\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} }$
