Scientists want to estimate the mean weight of mice after they have been fed a special diet. From previous studies, it is known that the weight is normally distributed with standard deviation 5 grams. How many mice must be weighed so that a 95% confidence interval will have margin of error of 0.6 grams?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: n = 267

Step-by-step explanation: Margin of Error shows the percentage that will differ the result you get from the real population value or, in other words, is the range of values in a confidence interval.

It can be calculated as

margin of error = [tex]z\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} }[/tex]

in which

z is z-score related to the confidence interval, which is this case is 1.96;

s is standard deviation;

n is the number in a sample;

So, the number of mice must be:

margin of error = [tex]z\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} }[/tex]

[tex]0.6=1.96\frac{5}{\sqrt{n} }[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{n}=\frac{1.96*5}{0.6}[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{n}=16.33[/tex]

n = 267

For the margin of error with 95% confidence interval be 0.6, it is needed 267 mice.

Answer 2

The total number of mice must be weighed so that a 95% confidence interval will have a margin of error of 0.6 grams is 267 and this can be determined by using the formula of margin of error.

Given :

Scientists want to estimate the mean weight of mice after they have been fed a special diet. From previous studies, it is known that the weight is normally distributed with a standard deviation of 5 grams.95% confidence interval.

The formula of margin of error can be used in order to determine the total number of mice. The formula of margin of error is given by:

[tex]\rm MOE = z\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n} }[/tex]

where z is the z-score, s is the standard deviation, and n is the sample size.

Now, substitute the known values in the above formula.

[tex]\rm 0.6 = 1.96\times \dfrac{5}{\sqrt{n} }[/tex]

Simplify the above expression in order to determine the value of 'n'.

[tex]\rm n =\left(\dfrac{1.96\times 5}{0.6}\right)^2[/tex]

n = 267

Therefore, the total number of mice must be weighed so that a 95% confidence interval will have a margin of error of 0.6 grams is 267.

What is the length of the hypotenuse? 1. 52 + 122 =c2 2. 25 + 144 =c2 3. 169=c2 c=

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this question we need to know that [tex]a^{2} + b^{2} = c^{2}[/tex] (were a and b are the legs of a right angle triangle and c is the hypotenuse). Now since we are given [tex]a^{2}[/tex] and [tex]b^{2}[/tex],we can solve for hypotenuse in each case. So we do......

1) 52 + 122 = [tex]c^{2}[/tex]

  174 = [tex]c^{2}[/tex]

  [tex]\sqrt{174} =c[/tex]

  13.190905 ≈ c

2) 25 + 144 = [tex]c^{2}[/tex]

   169 = [tex]c^{2}[/tex]

   [tex]\sqrt{169} = c[/tex]

   [tex]13 = c[/tex]

3) 169 = [tex]c^{2}[/tex]

   [tex]\sqrt{169} = c[/tex]

   [tex]13 = c[/tex]

Hope this helps :)

The length of the hypotenuse 13 units.

What is a hypotenuse?

A hypotenuse is the longest side of a right-angled triangle, the side opposite the right angle.

Given that, A right triangle has side lengths 5 inches and 12 inches.

Using Pythagoras theorem,

h = √5²+12²

h = √25+144

h = √169

h = 13

Hence, the length of the hypotenuse 13 units.

If u^2=d, what does the square root property state that u is equal to?

Answers

Answer:

the square root of d

Step-by-step explanation:

if [tex]u^{2} = d[/tex] then the square root property would take the square root of each side of the equation. the square root of [tex]u^{2}[/tex] would just be [tex]u[/tex] because it's already squared and its exponent would just be cancelled out, while d would simply turn to [tex]\sqrt{d}[/tex].

meaning if [tex]u^{2} =d[/tex] then [tex]u=\sqrt{d}[/tex], because you've done the same thing to both sides of the equal sign, so they remain equivalent.

The square root property says the value of u²=d is u=±√d

What is Square Root?

The square root of a number is defined as the value, which gives the number when it is multiplied by itself. The radical symbol √ is used to indicate the square root. For example, √16 = 4. The radical symbol is also called a root symbol or surds.

Given here: The expression u²=d

The square root of a number is a value, which on multiplication by itself, gives the original number. The square root is an inverse method of squaring a number. To indicate that we want both the positive and the negative square root of a radicand we put the symbol ± (read as plus minus) in front of the root.

Thus we have the given expression as u²=d

Taking square root on  both sides we get u=±√d

Hence, The square root property says the value of u²=d is u=±√d

Hey I need some help :)

Would the phrase
“Net Change” mean I would subtract the given numbers? I’m on a post test and I’m a little confused. Please answer if you know.

Answers

Answer:

Net change means the differnce between the before result and the after result. You would subtract the numbers, but if you have a gain(the before result smaller than after result) you would do its absolute value. If it's a loss(the before result bigger than after result) you would put a negative behind its absolute value.

e.g. if 2019 had $1 net worth and 2020 had $2 net worth, since 2>1 it would be |2-1| = 1. If 2019 had $2 net worth and 2020 had $1 net worth, since 1<2 there would be a - |2-1| = -1 net change.

However, if there is no change it would be just 0.

Part 1

The drawing of the quadrilateral is included here

Part 2

The area of the quadrilateral is 60.5 unit²

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1

Please find attached the given drawing of the quadrilateral created with Microsoft Excel

Part 2

The given quadrilateral ABCD comprises of a trapezium AECD and triangle ABE

The height of the trapezium, h₁ = 4 units

For segment BC, we have;

The slope = (-5 - (-2))/(5 - (-4)) = -1/3

The equation of the line BC in point and slope form is y - (-5) = -1/3×(x - 5)

Which gives;

y = -1/3×(x - 5) - 5 = -x/3 + 5/3 - 5 = -x/3 - 10/3

The y-intercept is (0, -10/3)

The lengths of the opposite parallel sides of the trapezium AECD are;

a = 5 - (-2) = 7 and b = 7 - (-10/3) = 31/3

The area of the trapezium AECD = ((a + b)/2) × h₁ = ((7 + 31/3)/2) × 4 = 104/3 unit²

The height of triangle

The area of ABE, h₂ = 5

The base of triangle ABE = b = 31/3

The area of triangle ABE = 1/2 × b × h₂ = 1/2 × 31/3 × 5 = 155/6 unit²

The area of quadrilateral ABCD = The area of the trapezium AECD + The area of triangle ABE

∴ The area of quadrilateral ABCD = 104/3 unit² + 155/6 unit² = 60.5 unit².
