Step-by-step explanation:

x, y are the 2 numbers.

x + y = 10

y - x = 4

that gives us

y = x + 4

and we use that in the first equation :

x + x + 4 = 10

2x = 6

x = 3

y = x + 4 = 3 + 4 = 7

so, yes, the smaller number is 3.

A research scientist wants to know how many times per hour a certain strand of bacteria reproduces. The mean is found to be 10.3

user100 [1]

Answer:

Confidence interval for the true mean number of reproductions per hour for the bacteria is (10.1,10.5).

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Population mean, μ = 10.3

Population standard deviation, σ = 2.1

Sample size, n = 728

Alpha, α = 0.01

Confidence interval:

$\mu \pm z_{critical}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

Putting the values, we get,

$z_{critical}\text{ at}~\alpha_{0.01} = \pm 2.58$

$10.3 \pm 2.58(\frac{2.1}{\sqrt{728}} ) = 10.3 \pm 0.2008 = (10.0992,10.5008) \approx (10.1,10.5)$
