- You are a researcher studying the lifespan of a certain species of bacteria. A preliminary sample of 35 bacteria reveals a sample mean of T = 74 hours. The population standard deviation is known to be 5.8 hours. You would like to estimate the mean lifespan for this species of bacteria to within a margin of error of 0.5 hours at a 90% level of confidence. How many more bacteria should you sample to achieve a 0.5 hour margin of error? n bacteria %3Darrow_forwardThe mean is 146 and the standard deviation is 35. A score of 41 is how many z-scores below the mean?arrow_forwardYou want to obtain a sample to estimate a population mean. Based on previous evidence, you believe the population standard deviation is approximately 80.3. You would like to be 95% confident that your estimate is within 1 of the true population mean.
