A research scientist wants to know how many times per hour a certain strand of bacteria reproduces. The mean is found to be 7.8 reproductions and the population standard deviation is known to be 2.2. If a sample of 697 was used for the study, construct the 85% confidence interval for the true mean number of reproductions per hour for the bacteria. Round your answers to one decimal place.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The 85% confidence interval is ( 7.7 , 8.0 )

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the 85% confidence interval you use the following formula:

[tex]\overline{x}\pm Z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]       (1)

where

[tex]\overline{x}[/tex]: mean of number of bacteria reproduces per hour = 7.8

σ: standard deviation = 2.2

n: sample size = 967

α: 1 - 0.85 = 0.15

Zα/2: Z factor of the density distribution = 1.44

You replace the values of all parameters in the equation (1):

[tex]7.8\pm (1.44)\frac{2.2}{\sqrt{697}}\\\\7.8\pm0.119\\\\[/tex]

Then, the confidence interval is:

[tex](7.8-0.119,7.8+0.119)\\\\(7.7,8.0)[/tex]

On hand: Magnesium sulfate 30 grams is mixed in 500 ml Lactated Ringers. Order: infuse a
maintenance dose of magnesium sulfate at 4 grams/hour. At what rate should the nurse set the
pump:​

Answers

Answer:

The IV will run [tex]66.67 \ ml /hr[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The mass of Magnesium sulfate is  [tex]m_g = 30 \ g[/tex]

   The volume of the Magnesium sulfate  [tex]V_R = 500ml[/tex]

   The rate at which the dose of the solution (Magnesium sulfate + Lactated Ringers. ) is infused is  [tex]R = 4g/hr[/tex]

   

The concentration of Magnesium sulfate in Lactated Ringers  is mathematically evaluated as

         [tex]C_m = \frac{m_g}{V_R}[/tex]

substituting values

          [tex]C_m = \frac{30}{500}[/tex]

          [tex]C_m = 0.06\ g/ ml[/tex]

This implies that

     0.06 g of Magnesium sulfate is in every 1 ml of  Lactated Ringers

So  4 g  of  Magnesium sulfate is in x ml of  Lactated Ringers

So

        [tex]x = \frac{4}{0.06}[/tex]

       [tex]x = 66.67 \ ml[/tex]

So the amount of the solution in ml that is been infused in 1 hour is  

      [tex]66.67 \ ml /hr[/tex]

Colgate claims that 90% of dentists recommend Colgate toothpaste. Suppose you randomly choose 10 dentists and ask whether they recommend Colgate toothpaste. What is the probability that exactly 8 dentists in your sample recommend Colgate toothpaste

Answers

Answer:

the probability that exactly 8 dentists in 10 samples recommend Colgate toothpaste is;

P(X) = 0.0043

P(X) = 0.43%

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that a dentist recommend Colgate is;

P = 90% = 0.9

The probability that a dentist doesn't recommend Colgate is;

P' = 1 - P = 1 -0.9 = 0.1

Of 10 sample dentists, the probability that exactly 8 dentists recommend Colgate toothpaste is;

8 will recommend and two will not recommend it.

P(X) = P^8 × P'^2

P(X) = (0.9)^8 × (0.1)^2

P(X) = 0.0043

P(X) = 0.43%

The Probability of exactly 8 dentists in sample recommend Colgate toothpaste is 0.0043.

Since, Colgate claims that 90% of dentists recommend Colgate toothpaste.

Probability of dentist, who recommend Colgate toothpaste = 0.9

Probability of dentist, who does not recommend Colgate toothpaste,

                                       = 1 - 0.9 = 0.1

When 10 dentist randomly choose , out of which 8 dentists recommend Colgate toothpaste. It means that 8 recommend  Colgate toothpaste and 2 recommend other tooth paste.

Thus, The Probability of exactly 8 dentists in sample recommend Colgate ,

                  [tex]=(0.9)^{8}*(0.1)^{2} =0.0043[/tex]

For the given equation, find the values of a, b, and c, determine the direction in which the parabola opens, and determine the y-intercept.

Table A c. Table C b. Table B d. Table D Please select the best answer from the choices provided

Answers

Answer:

The table that illustrates this equation is table A:

1   -6   0   up   (0,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

The values of the parameters a, b, and c have to agree with the values for the general quadratic equation in standard form:

[tex]y = a\,x^2+b\,x+c[/tex]

compared to:

[tex]y=x^2-6\,x[/tex]

So the coefficient "a" of the quadratic term in our case is: "1"

the coefficient "b" of the linear term is : "-6"

the coefficient "c" for the constant term s : "0" (zero)

since the coefficient "a" is a positive number, we know that the parabola's branches must be opening "UP".

The y intercept can be found by evaluating the expression for x = 0:

[tex]y=x^2-6x\\y=(0)^2-6\,(0)\\y=0[/tex]

Therefore the y-intercept is at (0, 0)

These results agree with those of Table "A"

Assume that the heights of men are normally distributed with a mean of 70.9 inches and a standard deviation of 2.1 inches. If 36 men are randomly selected, find the probability that they have a mean height greater than 71.9 inches. Round to four decimal places.

Answers

Answer:

The probability that they have a mean height greater than 71.9 inches

P(  x⁻ ≥71.9) =  0.0022

Step-by-step explanation:

Explanation:-

Given mean of the Population μ= 70.9

Standard deviation of the Populationσ = 2.1

Given sample size 'n' =36

let x⁻ be the mean height

given  x⁻ =71.9 inches

[tex]Z=\frac{x^{-} -mean}{\frac{S.D}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex]

[tex]Z=\frac{71.9 -70.9}{\frac{2.1}{\sqrt{36} } } = \frac{1}{0.35} = 2.85[/tex]

The probability that they have a mean height greater than 71.9 inches

P(  x⁻ ≥71.9) = P(Z ≥ 2.85)

                    = 1 - P(Z≤ 2.85)

                   =  1 - ( 0.5 + A(2.85)

                   = 0.5 - A( 2.85)

                  = 0.5 - 0.4978

                  = 0.0022

The probability that they have a mean height greater than 71.9 inches

 P(  x⁻ ≥71.9) =  0.0022

Answer:

volume of rectangular prism = 30 ft³

Step-by-step explanation:

The fishing trap he wants to build to house sea houses are mostly rectangular prism. The traps are mostly glass like. The volume of the fishing trap will be the volume of the rectangular prism.

volume of rectangular prism = LWH

where

L = length

W = width

H = height

volume of rectangular prism = LWH

Length = 5 ft

width = 2 ft

Height = 3 ft

volume of rectangular prism = 5 × 2 × 3

volume of rectangular prism = 10 × 3

volume of rectangular prism = 30 ft³

Company A makes a large shipment to Company B. Company B can reject the shipment if they can conclude that the proportion of defective items in the shipment is larger than 0.1. In a sample of 400 items from the shipment, Company B finds that 59 are defective. Conduct the appropriate hypothesis test for Company B using a 0.05 level of significance.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]z=\frac{0.1475-0.1}{\sqrt{\frac{0.1(1-0.1)}{400}}}=3.17[/tex]  

The p value for this case would be given by:

[tex]p_v =P(z>3.17)=0.00076[/tex]  

For this case the p value is lower than the significance level so then we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis and we can conclude that the true mean is significantly higher than 0.1 and then Company B can reject the shipment

Step-by-step explanation:

Information provided

n=400 represent the random sample taken

X=59 represent number of defectives from the company B

[tex]\hat p=\frac{59}{400}=0.1475[/tex] estimated proportion of defectives from the company B  

[tex]p_o=0.1[/tex] is the value to verify

[tex]\alpha=0.05[/tex] represent the significance level

z would represent the statistic

[tex]p_v[/tex] represent the p value

Hypothesis to test

We want to verify if the true proportion of defectives is higher than 0.1 then the system of hypothesis are.:  

Null hypothesis:[tex]p \leq 0.1[/tex]  

Alternative hypothesis:[tex]p > 0.1[/tex]  

The statistic would be given by:

[tex]z=\frac{\hat p -p_o}{\sqrt{\frac{p_o (1-p_o)}{n}}}[/tex] (1)  

Replacing the info given we got:

[tex]z=\frac{0.1475-0.1}{\sqrt{\frac{0.1(1-0.1)}{400}}}=3.17[/tex]  

The p value for this case would be given by:

[tex]p_v =P(z>3.17)=0.00076[/tex]  

For this case the p value is lower than the significance level so then we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis and we can conclude that the true mean is significantly higher than 0.1 and then Company B can reject the shipment

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two ways you can solve this. First is to just count all the numbers in the list given that are within the range 15-19. This is an inclusive range meaning the numbers 15 and 19 are a part of it. The second method is to count how many numbers are in the list given and count all the numbers that have already been put on the table. There are 19 total numbers, and 14 have already been counted. If you subtract you are left with 5 numbers that are within the range. So the answer is 5.

Answer:  5

Explanation:

One method is to count all of the values that are between 15 and 19. Those values are highlighted in the diagram below. There are 5 values marked.

An alternative method is to note there are 19 values total. The items in the given table add to 5+2+1+2+4 = 14, so there must be 19-14 = 5 items missing to completely fill out the table.

You are conducting a study to see if the proportion of men over the age of 50 who regularly have their prostate examined is significantly less than 0.3. A random sample of 735 men over the age of 50 found that 203 have their prostate regularly examined. Do the sample data provide convincing evidence to support the claim

Answers

Answer:

[tex]z=\frac{0.276 -0.3}{\sqrt{\frac{0.3(1-0.3)}{735}}}=-1.42[/tex]  

Now we can claculate the p value with this formula:

[tex]p_v =P(z<-1.42)=0.0778[/tex]  

If we use a signifiacn level of 5% we see that the p value is higher than 0.05 so then we have enough evidence to fail to reject the null hypothesis and we can't conclude that the true proportion is significantly higher than 0.3 at 5% of significance.

Step-by-step explanation:

Information to given

n=735 represent the random sample taken

X=203 represent the number of people who have their prostate regularly examined

[tex]\hat p=\frac{203}{735}=0.276[/tex] estimated proportion of people who have their prostate regularly examined  

[tex]p_o=0.3[/tex] is the value to verify

z would represent the statistic

[tex]p_v[/tex] represent the p value

System of hypothesis

We want to test if the true proportion is less than 0.3, the ystem of hypothesis are.:  

Null hypothesis:[tex]p \geq 0.3[/tex]  

Alternative hypothesis:[tex]p < 0.3[/tex]  

The statistic is given by:

[tex]z=\frac{\hat p -p_o}{\sqrt{\frac{p_o (1-p_o)}{n}}}[/tex] (1)  

Replacing the info we got:

[tex]z=\frac{0.276 -0.3}{\sqrt{\frac{0.3(1-0.3)}{735}}}=-1.42[/tex]  

Now we can claculate the p value with this formula:

[tex]p_v =P(z<-1.42)=0.0778[/tex]  

If we use a signifiacn level of 5% we see that the p value is higher than 0.05 so then we have enough evidence to fail to reject the null hypothesis and we can't conclude that the true proportion is significantly higher than 0.3 at 5% of significance.
