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 0.09 reproductions per hour. Assuming that the mean is 6.6 reproductions and the variance is known to be 4.84, 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 is [tex]n = 2295 [/tex]    

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The margin of error is  [tex]E = 0.09[/tex]

    The sample mean is  [tex]\= x = 6.6[/tex]

     The variance is  [tex]\sigma^2 = 4.84[/tex]

Generally the standard deviation is mathematically represented as

      [tex]\sigma = \sqrt{\sigma^2}[/tex]

=> [tex]\sigma = \sqrt{4.84 }[/tex]

=> [tex]\sigma = 2.2[/tex]

From the question we are told the confidence level is  95% , hence the level of significance is    

      [tex]\alpha = (100 - 95 ) \%[/tex]

=>   [tex]\alpha = 0.05[/tex]

Generally from the normal distribution table the critical value  of  [tex]\frac{\alpha }{2}[/tex] is  

   [tex]Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } =  1.96[/tex]

Generally the sample size is mathematically represented as  

   [tex]n = [\frac{Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } *  \sigma }{E} ] ^2[/tex]

=>   [tex]n = [\frac{1.96  *  2.2 }{0.09} ] ^2[/tex]

=>   [tex]n = 2295 [/tex]

what is the measure of the larger angle in this degree?​

Answers

Answer:

A straight line is equivalent to 180 degrees with that in mind,

(2.4x)+(9.6x)=180
2.4x+9.6x=180
12x=180
12x/12=180/12
x=15

Now to find the measurement of the larger angle,

9.6*15=144
Just in case you need it
180-144=36
Which is your smaller measurement.

[tex]x^{2} \\[/tex] + [tex]m^{2}[/tex] = [tex]n^{2}[/tex]

First, let's subtract  [tex]m^{2}[/tex] from both sides of the equation:

[tex]x^{2} \\[/tex] + [tex]m^{2}[/tex] -  [tex]m^{2}[/tex] = [tex]n^{2}[/tex] -  [tex]m^{2}[/tex]

Now the equation looks like this: [tex]x^{2} \\[/tex] =  [tex]n^{2}[/tex] -  [tex]m^{2}[/tex]

Now we have apply a square root to both sides to remove the exponent from the x: [tex]\sqrt{x^2}[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{n^2 - m^2}[/tex]

The square root and the exponents cancel out on both sides and you're left with: x = n - m

To solve for x the equation is: x = n - m

1. Charlie bought a new computer for $450 with his credit card. He plans to pay the minimum payment

of $25 per month. What is the rate of change, including units ?

Answers

Given:

Charlie bought a new computer for $450 with his credit card.

He plans to pay the minimum payment  of $25 per month.

To find:

The rate of change.

Solution:

Let y be the remaining amount of loan after x months.

Initial amount of loan = $450

Payment of one month = $25

Payment of x months = $25x

Now,

Remining amount = Initial amount of loan - Payment of x months

[tex]y=450-25x[/tex]     ...(i)

The slope intercept form is

[tex]y=mx+b[/tex]     ...(ii)

where, m is slope and b is y-intercept.

From (i) and (ii), we get

[tex]m=-25[/tex]

Therefore, the rate of change is -25 dollars.

Given triangle MAT is an isosceles triangle and point H is the midpoint if MT. Prove triangle MHA is congruent to triangle THA

Answers

Answer:

There is everything in the image

The Side-Angle-Side postulate is satisfied. Then the triangle ΔMHA and ΔTHA are congruent with each other.

What is the triangle?

A triangle is a three-sided polygon with three angles. The angles of the triangle add up to 180 degrees.

In an isosceles triangle, the two legs of the triangle are congruent and their opposite angles too.

A triangle MAT is an isosceles triangle and point H is the midpoint of MT.

In triangle ΔMHA and ΔTHA, we have

AH = AH (Common sides)

MH = HT (H is the midpoint of MT)

∠AMH = ∠ATH (Isosceles angles)

The Side-Angle-Side postulate is satisfied. Then the triangle ΔMHA and ΔTHA are congruent with each other.

Read the excerpt from "Elevator Systems of the Eiffel Tower, 1889" by Robert M. Vogel.The first complete elevator machine in the United States, constructed in 1855, was a complex and inefficient contrivance built around an oscillating-cylinder steam engine. The advantages of an elevator system independent of the mill drive quickly became apparent, and by 1860 improved steam elevator machines were being produced in some quantity, but almost exclusively for freight service. It is not clear when the first elevator was installed explicitly for passenger service, but it was probably in 1857, when Otis placed one in a store on Broadway at Broome Street in New York.In the decade following the Civil War, tall buildings had just begun to emerge; and, although the skylines of the worlds great cities were still dominated by church spires, there was increasing activity in the development of elevator apparatus adapted to the transportation of people as well as of merchandise. Operators of hotels and stores gradually became aware of the commercial advantages to be gained by elevating their patrons even one or two floors above the ground, by machinery.
