Question

Transcribed Image Text:Dr. Caras was characterizing a cytochrome (an iron containing protein) from a new strain of bacteria. He obtained eight
measurements of the percent iron in the protein: 0.3807%, 0.3803%, 0.3798%, 0.3793%, 0.3914%,0.3793%, 0.3803%, and
0.3796%.
Calculate the mean (x) and standard deviation (s) for these results,

- Which store do you think is more expensive—physical or online? A recent survey found that 45% of people aged 20 to 40 thought that physical stores were more expensive. To conduct a follow-up study that would provide 95% confidence that the point estimate is correct to within 0.05 of the population proportion, how many people aged 20 to 40 need to be sampled? (PHStat) To conduct a follow-up study that would provide 99% confidence that the point estimate is correct to within 0.05 of the population proportion, how many people aged 20 to 40 need to be sampled? (PHStat) Compare the results of (a) and (b).arrow_forwardUse the given confidence interval to find the margin of error and the sample mean.
