You want to estimate the mean hourly yield for a process that manufactures an antibiotic. You observe the process for 100 hourly periods chosen at random, with the results x = 37 ounces per hour and s = 8 Estimate the mean hourly yield (in ounces per hour) for the process. ______ oz per hour Calculate the 95% margin of error (in ounces per hour). (Round your answers to three decimal places.) ______ oz per hr

Do not round mid-calculation. However, use a critical value accurate to three decimal places. #16 Points possible: 1. Total attempts: 3 You are a researcher studying the lifespan of a certain species of bacteria. A preliminary sample of 40 bacteria reveals a sample mean of x̄ = 68 hours with a standard deviation of s = 7 hours. You would like to estimate the mean lifespan for this species of bacteria to within a margin of error of 0.6 hours at a 99% level of confidence. What sample size should you gather to achieve a 0.6 hour margin of error? Round your answer up to the nearest whole number. n = _ bacteria
