Question

4. The Old Towne Road Group sent its' top specialist, Tegan (aka Stat Buddees) to get information on why the Street Farmacyst plastic bottles did not explode under pressure. They selected 36 Street Farmacyst bottles and got a mean of twenty-six with a population standard deviation of 1.5. a. What is the maximum error? ( (2pt.) b. Help her construct an 80% confidence interval for the mean number of plastic bottles that did not explode under pressure. (3pts)

a. Maximum error:

First, find the z-value for an 80% confidence interval:

z_{\alpha/2} = 1.2816

Then use the formula for the maximum error:

E = z_{\alpha/2} \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

E = 1.2816 \times \frac{1.5}{\sqrt{36}}

E = 1.2816 \times 0.25

E=0.3204

b. 80% confidence interval:

The formula for the confidence interval is:

\text{CI} = \left( \bar{x} - E , \bar{x} + E \right)

Given:

\bar{x} = 26

E=0.3204

Substituting the values:

\text{CI}=\left(26-0.3204,26+0.3204\right)

\text{CI}=(25.6796,26.3204)

there are 500,000 bacteria at the end of a pin point. 1000 bacteria can make a person sick. then bacteria at the tip of a pin point can make 500 people sick. Also, many people do not know that bacteria can (reproduce). Let's say there are 5 bacteria and we leave it for 15 minutes. bacteria will multiply to 10. if left for up to 30 minutes, 20 bacteria will form. if left up to 45 minutes. bacteria will multiply up to 40. every 15 minutes the bacteria will double 2. if you start with five bacteria that reproduce every 15 minutes, how manu bacteria would you have after 12 hours ?
