A research scientist wants to know how many times per hour a certain strand of bacteria reproduces. He wants to construct the 95% confidence interval with a maximum error of 0.19 reproductions per hour. Assuming that the mean is 6.4 reproductions and the standard deviation is known to be 1.8, what is the minimum sample size required for the estimate? Round your answer up to the next integer.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The minimum sample size required for the estimate is 345.

Step-by-step explanation:

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

[tex]\alpha = \frac{1 - 0.95}{2} = 0.025[/tex]

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

That is z with a pvalue of [tex]1 - 0.025 = 0.975[/tex], so Z = 1.96.

Now, find the margin of error M as such

[tex]M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

In which [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

The standard deviation is known to be 1.8.

This means that [tex]\sigma = 1.8[/tex]

What is the minimum sample size required for the estimate?

This is n for which M = 0.19. So

[tex]M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

[tex]0.19 = 1.96\frac{1.8}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

[tex]0.19\sqrt{n} = 1.96*1.8[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.96*1.8}{0.19}[/tex]

[tex](\sqrt{n})^2 = (\frac{1.96*1.8}{0.19})^2[/tex]

[tex]n = 344.8[/tex]

Rounding up to the next integer:

The minimum sample size required for the estimate is 345.

A cuboid with a volume of 924 cm' has dimensions

Solve the equation by factorisation, making sure you show the factorisation.
State both values of x on the same line.
Finally, find the dimensions of the cuboid, writing all three on one line.

Answers

Answer:

4cm, 11cm, 21cm

Step-by-step explanation:

4(x + 1)(x + 11)

4(x ^ 2 + 12x + 44)

x ^ 2 + 12x + 11 = 231

x ^ 2 + 12x + 11 - 231 = 0

x ^ 2 + 12x - 220 = 0

(x - 10)(x + 22) = 0

x = 10 and x = - 22

4cm , 11cm , 21cm

Hope it helps you xx

Answer:

Dimensions = 4cm, 11cm and 21 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

x2 + 12x - 220 = 0

x2 + 22x - 10x - 220

= x(x+22) -10(x+22)

=(x+22)(x-10)

x + 22= 0

-22       -22

x = -22 (x cant be negative so this is wrong)

x-10 = 0

+10      +10

x = 10 (positive so its correct)

4 , (10+1), (10+11)

= 4, 11, 21 cm.

A chocolate shop sells chocolates with a variety of different fillings.

hazelnut 68
caramel 8
orange 8

What is the probability that a randomly selected chocolate will have caramel filling?

Write your answer as a fraction or whole number.

Answers

Answer:

There is a [tex]\frac{2}{21}[/tex] chance of picking caramel-filled chocolate.

Step-by-step explanation:

To set this up, you need to make it a fraction. The denominator of the fraction is how many total chocolates you can pick from. You can figure this out by adding all of the chocolate choices together:

68 hazelnut + 8 caramel + 8 orange = 84 chocolates.

The numerator is defined by the number of caramel chocolates, in this case it is 8. That means the fraction will look like:

[tex]\frac{8}{84}[/tex]

Now that can be simplified down. I divided the top and bottom both by 4 to get  [tex]\frac{2}{21}[/tex] and that is as far down as it can go. Therefore that is the probability you will get a caramel-filled chocolate.
