A physicist examines 23 sedimentary samples for mercury concentration. The mean mercury concentration for the sample data is 0.036 cc/cubic meter with a standard deviation of 0.012. Determine the 80% confidence interval for the population mean mercury concentration. Assume the population is approximately normal. Step 1 of 2: Find the critical value that should be used in constructing the confidence interval. Round your answer to three decimal places.

Browning labs is testing a new growth inhibitor for a certain type of bacteria. the bacteria naturally grows exponentially each hour at a rate of 6.2%. the researchers know that the inhibitor will make the growth rate of the bacteria less than or equal to its natural growth rate. the sample currently contains 100 bacteria.the container holding the sample can hold only 300 bacteria, after which the sample will no longer grow. however, the researchers are increasing the size of the container at a constant rate allowing the container to hold 100 more bacteria each hour. they would like to determine the possible number of bacteria in the container over time.create a system of inequalities to model the situation above, and use it to determine how many of the solutions are viable.

The ratio of wooden bats to metal bats in the baseball coach’s bag is 2 to 1. if there are 20 wooden bats, how many metal bats are in the bag?

Powerful women's group has claimed that men and women differ in attitudes about sexual discrimination. a group of 50 men (group 1) and 40 women (group 2) were asked if they thought sexual discrimination is a problem in the united states. of those sampled, 11 of the men and 19 of the women did believe that sexual discrimination is a problem. if the p-value turns out to be 0.035 (which is not the real value in this data set), then at = 0.05, you should fail to reject h0. at = 0.04, you should reject h0. at = 0.03, you should reject h0. none of these would be a correct statement.
