A biologist wishes to estimate the effect of an antibiotic on the growth of a particular bacterium by examining the mean amount of bacteria present per plate of culture when a fixed amount of the antibiotic is applied. Suppose he estimates that s = 14 cm2 and that he has a sample size of 35 with sample mean equal to 110 cm2. Assume all conditions are met.
(a) What is the the t* value needed to construct a 99% confidence interval for the mean? Be sure to use the table, and round down your df.
(b) Let μ denote the population mean amount of bacteria present per plate of culture. Calculate the 99% confidence interval for μ. ( , ) (Use 2 decimal places.)

Previous exper with the antiblotic on this type of bacteria Indicates that the standard deviation of the amount of bacteria present is approximately 19 cm2 Use this to determi e the nur ber of obervations (cultures that must be developed and then tested) to estimate the mean amount of bacteria present, using a 99% confidence interval with a half...

A researcher wishes to study whether an antibiotic will inhibit the growth of bacteria in a culture. The researcher inserts the antibiotic into 40 cultures and finds that 30 have reduced growth. A control group of 40 cultures is not given the antibiotic, and 10 of these have reduced growth. Find the margin of error for a 99% confidence interval of the difference in proportion of antibiotic and non-antibiotic cultures.

A researcher wishes to estimate the percentage of adults who support abolishing the penny. What size sample should be obtained if he wishes the estimate to be within 5 percentage points with 99% confidence if (a) he uses a previous estimate of 26%? (b) he does not use any prior estimates?

A botanist wishes to estimate the typical number of seeds for a certain fruit. She samples 73 specimens and counts the number of seeds in each. Use her sample results (mean = 66.5, standard deviation = 6.3) to find the 99% confidence interval for the number of seeds for the species. Enter your answer as an open-interval (i.e., parentheses) accurate to 3 decimal places. 99% C.I. =
