A research scientist wants to know how many times per hour a certain strand of bacteria reproduces. The mean is found to be 9.8 reproductions and the population standard deviation is known to be 2.4. If a sample of 955 was used for the study, construct the 99% confidence interval for the true mean number of reproductions per hour for the bacteria. Round your answers to one decimal place.

The 99% confidence interval for the true mean number of reproductions per hour for the bacteria is between 9.6 and 10.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of .

So it is z with a pvalue of , so

Now, find the margin of error M as such

In which is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 9.8 - 0.2 = 9.6 reproductions per hour.

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 9.8 + 0.2 = 10 reproductions per hour.

The 99% confidence interval for the true mean number of reproductions per hour for the bacteria is between 9.6 and 10.

3/4 ÷ 3/4

step-by-step explanation:

basically divide any proper fraction with itself to fit the criteria.

so if we are using 3/4, then:

3/4 ÷ 3/4 = 1

so 1 is the quotient.

and the numerators for both these fractions is 3.   and if we divide the numerators:

3 ÷ 3 = 1

we see that quotient is equal to our original quotient as well.

73-22=51 the   mass number minus the amount of protons gives you the amount of neutrons
